64 Episode 16. Dear Girl, I’ll Be Eaten by Debt (5)
“How about this… … .”
Carter Banco’s new IOU, which he wrote as collateral.
Youngjoo was noticing that he didn’t understand right away.
“What do you mean? Is this even the reason for coming to me at this hour?”
On the contrary, the lord, who was rather angry, looked at the Overseer who interrupted his sleep late at night and the Seeers who followed him, and the flock of Shea stopped for a moment.
The opponent is Yeongju.
He was the owner of this land.
And he is also their master.
When the faltering seers involuntarily took their breath away, there was someone who dared to step out, and he was the Overseer Chiron Mark who had led the herd.
“Are you sure you took a closer look? It must be written there. The lord says that he will use the deed of loan he has used as collateral as collateral.”
“Isn’t it written like that here? So what about that?”
The lord threw the loan he had received back to the Overseer and prepared to be angry.
‘What on earth were you thinking of coming here? Are these group crazy? Don’t you know who I am?’
Towards the lord, who had a strong expression of anger, the Overseer calmly closed his eyes and then began to shake his head.
All of this is due to his foolishness.
What he didn’t understand right now was probably making sense.
“really… … You are ignorant. On the battlefield, he certainly deserves respect, but in a place like this, it’s really disappointing.”
“what? Hey, what did you say now? Did you say that out loud right now?”
When the Overseer opened his eyes again, his gaze fell coldly.
After all, there is a price to be paid for a foolish monarch.
The Overseer seemed to have some sense of what was to come.
“Young lord. It is all because of the Lord’s ignorance that we have come to this late night despite rudeness. The deed of loan secured by the lord is no longer useful, so we couldn’t exchange gold coins, so we came here. Are you trying to get away with saying you don’t know?”
At those words, Yeongju looked a little embarrassed.
“The deed of loan I wrote… … useless? What does that mean?”
“Carter Banco has declared that it will no longer trust the IOU written by the Lord.”
The Overseer’s voice began to gain strength.
“So, the majority of us who have used the Gold IOUs issued as collateral for the Lord’s IOUs as collateral have suffered losses.”
“what?”
Frowning, the lord looked at the Overseer and the Shea hordes that followed him.
They all had Carter Banco’s Gold IOUs in their hands.
“no… … Exchanging the IOU for gold is all banco business, so why are you arguing with me?”
“I came all the way here because I couldn’t find it there.”
“You couldn’t ask?”
Young-joo had an expression on his face that he did not understand.
The opponent was a single banco contractor.
Wouldn’t it be easier to go to a banco dealer and ask for gold coins?
Or would it be easy to come to the lord himself and be rude at this point of view?
This was not even worth thinking about.
“Doesn’t it seem that Banco felt more terrific than I did at this time to the point where he came to me and was rude? So, without my knowing, did you guys owe a huge amount there? Otherwise, you can’t do this to me.”
Many of the poets, including the Overseer, were disappointed with the attitude of the lord.
The person they had brought as lords until now was such an idiot!
“You really don’t know anything about the Lord. It is true that we have to go to Banco to exchange gold coins. But that banco is now like a sanctuary and we dare not touch it.”
“sanctuary? what kind of bullshit is that What are you talking about!”
When the lord asked vigorously, another sheer who had followed the Overseer answered the question.
“It appears that the property of the church is tied to Carter Banco. So when we visited, members of the church who were trying to protect the property of the church were blocking the entrance.”
Another church!
When the story of the church came out, the lord, who had a wrinkled expression on his face, could barely notice the background of the situation.
It was Banco’s responsibility, not himself, to exchange the IOU for gold coins.
However, when the Banco was protected from the church members, a group of Shea, who had nowhere to complain, came to visit him.
‘It’s really like a dog. I never thought this would happen to me… … .’
However, there was one thing that was difficult to understand.
It was the attitude of the church surrounding Banco.
When it comes to the original church, wouldn’t it be natural to hate Banco, who plays the game of interest?
Aside from that, the fact that the stingy priest had entrusted his gold coins to Carter Banco was also unbelievable.
“But it’s kind of weird. Did the church pay the deposit for the gold coins and leave the church property to Carter Banco?”
The Overseer answered that question.
“We do not know the details of the two of them. Although it is difficult for us to interfere in church affairs, their relationship has been going on for quite some time. Perhaps the relationship with Banco is deeper than the relationship between the Church and the Lord. Isn’t Banco the one that pays the most money for donations in this estate?”
This was something that even the lord was vaguely aware of.
Because he knew well that the two had been close in the beer business.
Hmmm!
The feudal lord, who had coughed in vain, looked carefully at the shea crowd that came to him.
something… … The atmosphere seemed unfamiliar.
I wouldn’t have even thought of coming this far unless I was really crazy or I wasn’t prepared to a certain extent.
‘These guys are no joke now. It’s like they’ve come to eat me.’
First of all, with the desire to take care of my own people, the lord cleared his confused mind and raised his voice.
“Yeah, the IOU secured my IOU?”
“Yes, it is.”
First of all, Yeongju, who is looking for evasion of responsibility, was engulfed in thought with a wrinkled expression on her face.
‘This is a case of a dog. Is this what happens when you use mine as collateral?’
“Then why do I have to pay for it?”
What came back to that question, surprisingly, was his own IOU that he had written for Carter Banco.
“Why? That’s why.”
“Why is this… … do you have This is what I wrote on Carter Banco?”
“Have you forgotten already? This is because the Gold IOU we have is collateralized by the Lord’s IOU. So, Carter Banco gave the lord’s deed of loan instead of gold coins, and all of us here are holding the lord’s deed of borrowing.”
“… … .”
The lord, who had nothing to say, was enveloped in a brief silence.
‘Something is wrong. Why? … .’
Looking at the picture that was flowing roughly, I thought that this was not normal.
In an instant, the lord swallowed the saliva through his throat and blinked his eyes without realizing it.
“then… … Are you saying that all the Gold IOUs that you used to use have been replaced with the IOUs I wrote?”
“Yeah, it wasn’t really our intention, but somehow it happened.”
There was only one thought in the lord’s mind at this moment.
‘God damn it.’
It was his original intention to deceive the powerless banco contractor by overusing the IOUs that were nothing more than paper.
But for the IOU to come out of Banco and flow into someone else like this was never what he had hoped for.
‘I thought it wouldn’t be okay to just get into the hands of other lords… … That’s how it happened.’
Recognizing the situation accurately, the Overseer opened his mouth with a rather calm expression toward the lord whose face changed to red.
“So we have the right to claim the gold coin written here. Fortunately, this deed written by the lord had these words.”
This too was intended by Carter Banco a long time ago.
Overseer read those horrific words in a calm tone and without as much emotion as possible.
“It is transferable.”
“It’s a transfer… … It is possible.”
“That’s why we came to visit the lord late at night despite such disrespect.”
There’s nothing to worry about Young Ji-min, who is powerless, but it wasn’t the armed sheer group who was in charge of defending the territory right now.
“We are. I must receive the gold coin written here tonight. This is a natural right we have, and even the Lord cannot deny it.”
The rest of the sheers, including the Overseer, were not fools.
The lord currently owes a huge debt, and it was distributed evenly among the young jimin due to the Gold deed of borrowing.
If things get bigger, it will be impossible to completely repay the debt with the power of the lord.
Before such a nightmare could happen, a group of Shea, who were trying to get their gold coins, called out to the lord.
And this was a right that a group of creditors could naturally exercise against the debtor.
“Give me it. our gold coins.”
just two words.
At those two words, the lord withdrew without realizing it and took a step backwards.
‘These guys… … .’
The eyes of the sears who rushed to find their gold coins were quite bitter.
What kind of bloodshed would happen if they didn’t give the gold coins they wanted right now, it was obvious.
“Ooh, first of all, calm down. Don’t worry too much, I’ll give it to you, of course.”
The lord, who reassured the sears with a completely different attitude from Rockefeller, who came to receive interest, continued his voice with a slightly tense attitude.
“I don’t know if I’m anyone else, but shouldn’t you guys take care of your gold coins?”
Although he had been loyal to the lord so far, the Overseer, who learned of the lord’s incompetence today, felt that this situation was not very favorable.
Even though he was a lord like the sky, it was a story when all the powers of the lord were alive.
“Our gold coins, of course, are taken care of. But I have a question for you.”
“What do you mean?”
“Even if you take good care of us, what will the rest of us do? Most of the people in this estate now hold a Gold IOU. What would you do if they all got your IOU from Carter Banco?”
“Yeah… … .”
Just imagining it was terrifying.
just a nightmare.
“Are you able to afford it?”
After speaking, the Overseer turned his head for a moment and glanced at the seers who had followed him.
It was not a small number, but it seemed very difficult to subdue all the angry residents in order to recover my gold coins with this number.
It’s probably impossible to control.
“Only us here will probably not be able to stop the angry residents who are trying to exercise their bonds to the lord. No, it will be overpowering.”
The following Overseer’s eyes gradually gained strength.
“Obviously, first we need to calm ourselves down, though.”
