Chapter 92 Margaret's Depression

However, the incident on Mount Gadrammon also affected the business of the Fortis Chamber of Commerce.

The magic materials that were supposed to be transported down have now been buried deep in the ground. In addition, the mercenaries and the lord's army have suffered heavy casualties, making it difficult to organize large-scale excavation.

This rainstorm also interrupted the mercenaries who wanted to conduct small-scale excavation.

Margaret didn't get the magic materials she had expected, so she was a little depressed.

"The Black Snake Mercenary Group must have owed you a lot of money! I heard that Godwin also earned a lot of gold coins this time. Shouldn't he have returned it to the Futong Chamber of Commerce? Why are you still so unhappy?"

Richard looked at the depressed Margaret and consoled her with some confusion.

"Well, the money of the Black Snake Mercenary Group has been repaid, but part of it is still given to the Flying Snow Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group. After all, these two mercenary groups also contributed their efforts at that time."

Margaret explained: "In the end, the Futong Chamber of Commerce only received 50,000 gold coins."

"Fifty thousand gold coins is not a small amount!"

If the Futong Chamber of Commerce had not set up a trap together with the two mercenary groups, and the Black Snake Mercenary Group had not imitated the dynamic frog mask, the Futong Chamber of Commerce would not have been able to get the 50,000 gold coins.

What Margaret didn't say was the assessment task of 100,000 gold coins that Bart brought.

Richard's dynamic frog face and water element magic crystal made the Futong Chamber of Commerce earn more than 10,000 gold coins. With the addition of these 50,000 gold coins, according to her original idea, plus some magic materials from Gadlanmon Mountain, it would be no problem to earn a full 100,000 gold coins.

But she didn't expect that something like this would happen on Mount Gadlanmon, and her original plan was ruined.

"Fifty thousand gold coins is a lot, but I need more!"

Margaret sighed. Without the magic materials, where would she find the remaining nearly 40,000 gold coins?

Is this the nature of a businessman?

Richard's heart moved. Could this be related to Margaret's assessment task?

Richard had also heard of the Jones family's assessment mission, which was to assess the business talents in the family by setting task goals.

If they fail to complete the task, not only will their assessment ranking in the Jones family drop, but in serious cases, their business qualifications may be revoked and their business may be transferred to other people.

After competing in the assessment tasks, the final winner will control most of the assessees' businesses and will also be able to inherit the position of head of the Jones family.

Although it is a bit cold-blooded, the Jones family has run the huge Fortis Chamber of Commerce in this way.

However, Margaret did not tell me about her assessment task, maybe she had her own reasons.

Richard didn't say anything more.

……

Richard took advantage of Margaret's absence to visit the Fortis Chamber of Commerce.

Given Richard's current status, the person who received Richard was the second-in-command of the Fortis Chamber of Commerce's branch in Tit Town, besides Margaret.

After Richard explained his purpose, the second-in-command took Richard into the inner room and met Margaret's uncle, Bart.

Previously, because of the disappearance of Dylan and Ryan, Bart chose to stay in the Fortis Chamber of Commerce.

Although Fast and Craigie returned later and Craigie took over the defense of the town of Teet, Fast took part of his private army to recapture the copper mine.

Therefore, the current defense staff of Tite Town is still a little insufficient, so Bart did not leave.

"Mr. Bart, I came here this time to find out if Margaret has any assessment tasks from the Jones family recently."

Richard behaved very respectfully. After all, he was not acting as the fourth-level Tiger God Wizard, but as the second-level Wizard Richard.

"Didn't Margaret tell you?"

Bart was a little surprised. In his opinion, the relationship between his niece and Richard must be unusual.

The 100,000 gold coins of the previous assessment task were only less than 40,000 gold coins after recovering the debt owed by the Black Snake Mercenary Group. If Richard wanted to date his niece, then Richard had earned a lot of gold coins through the dynamic frog noodles before, so he could complete the assessment task by just making an account and filling it in.

There are many business talents in the family who do this.

However, he did not expect that his niece did not tell Richard about the assessment task from beginning to end.

This made him start to re-examine the relationship between Richard and Margaret.

If the two had no relationship, would his niece do so much for a second-level wizard?

Based on Bart's understanding of her, that would definitely not happen.

Therefore, it should be Margaret who is pursuing Richard. However, since Richard came to ask about the assessment task without telling Margaret, it means that Richard does have a good impression of Margaret. It seems that I have to be a good wingman for my niece.

Bart was secretly delighted, as he was also very optimistic about Richard, the second-level wizard.

Not only was he able to reach the level 2 wizard at such a young age, but most importantly, Richard was also a genius in making magic equipment and possessed a strong ability to make money. He had previously earned nearly 100,000 gold coins by selling dynamic frog noodles.

These performances made Bart feel that Richard was a good match for Margaret.

The most important thing is that my niece likes it!

"Assessment mission?"

Bart sighed.

Richard's heart tightened. Could it be that there was something difficult about Margaret's assessment task?

"Actually, I came to Tete Town this time to complete the family's assessment task. Margaret's assessment task is an astonishing 100,000 gold coins."

"Given the situation of Gadlan Mengshan, it is already a rare opportunity to earn 50,000 gold coins. The family's assessment task this time is obviously intended to make things difficult for Margaret."

One hundred thousand gold coins, Richard breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't want to be Versailles, one hundred thousand gold coins was not a big deal for him now.

But why didn't Margaret tell herself?

Richard asked Bart directly.

"Margaret told us not to tell you."

Bart's face looked solemn, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

"She obtained the divine power crystal through the family's channels before. It was for you, right?"

"Although the Divine Power Crystal is not a rare item, it requires a lot of military merit to obtain it. So Margaret used her family's connections to find some military officers and asked them to exchange for the Divine Power Crystal on her behalf. In the end, Margaret added some money to buy it."

"However, Margaret's actions have harmed the interests of the family. Originally, these officers were friends of the family and should have made further progress through military merit. But now their military merit has been consumed by you, Margaret."

"That's why the family set a task of 100,000 gold coins to warn Margaret not to harm the family's interests again."

In fact, Bart exaggerated the situation. The assessment tasks set by the Jones family were impossible for most people to complete every year.
