Walker Of The Worlds
Chapter 67
Lin Mu was dumbstruck by the price the staffer had just quoted. There was no chance that the fine could be this high. Even though the loss caused due to the damaged spirit apples was high, it was still less than a thousand gold coins.
The price that the staffer had told Lin Mu was enough to buy a completely new house if that was possible. Ever since a restriction on the expansion of the towns was placed by the city mayor five years ago, the prices of houses and property had shot up.
The mayor had instead ordered the town to increase the size of their respective specialty. The Northern town was ordered to expand their spirit apple orchards, the eastern their crop fields, the western their merchant site, and the south their army camp.
Even though the order could be considered to be Draconian, no one dared to question the city mayor's words. This restriction was also the reason why hunters had a hard time saving money, as they would just end up spending it in the winters.
Lin Mu could not just accept this and decided to ask the staffer.
"Why is the fine so high? Even the actual price of the property is not this high." Lin Mu complained.
"Due to undisclosed reasons, the city mayor has doubled all the taxes. This also includes the fines paid for crimes and law-breaking. The town head was also called for this specific reason by the city mayor." The staffer replied calmly.
"But still, you can't just do this." Lin Mu protested.
"There is nothing I can do. If you want your property back, pay the fine, otherwise, there are other people ready to buy it." The staffer explained.
'I have to get it now or I won't be able to buy it later.' Lin Mu thought.
Because of the scarcity of houses, the cost of properties was already inflated, yet there were still people who would be willing to buy it for such a high price. Lin Mu knew that if he waited too long, others may get to know of a vacant house and buy it. He was already lucky that no one had bought it yet in the past two months.
Lin Mu gritted his teeth and decided to pay the price.
"Fine. I'll take it." Lin Mu spoke through clenched teeth.
