Rest. And then a visit to the employer for a reward.

The next couple of days pass for you in routine activities. You are walking around the city. Inspecting goods on the market. From time to time you chat about trifles and flirt with the young maid Alenta, who works at the inn where you live. In the evenings in your room you do something much more pleasant than flirting with the pretty maid Alenta. This passionate bitch clearly enjoys the fact that you fuck her throat and her anal hole with your big dick every day.

Finally, the time comes for you to collect your award from your employer.

After three days, you go to the house of your employer, the moneylender Etario.

Approaching the house, you notice muscular guys who are distributed around the perimeter of the moneylender's house (on the neighboring streets and near the entrance to the building). To an outside observer, these persons look like ordinary local commoners who wander the streets, chat, drink ale, carry some kind of cargo and do other routine things.

But you will recognize a couple of them. Some of these guys helped you deliver careless debtors to Etario's house.

Judging by the appearance of these guys, you come to the conclusion that they are members of gang of the Merryman. Obviously, after solving the problems with the city guard, Etario decided to strengthen his security and strengthen surveillance of the neighboring streets (so that the appearance of representatives of the city guard could not take him by surprise).

These guys look at you with knowing looks. They clearly know that you can be allowed inside.

You walk past them and enter the house, where Etario is waiting for you in his office.

Moneylander Etario looks annoyed. No wonder. He probably had to give out a lot of bribes in order to avert the attention of representatives of the city guard from his persons. However, things could have been much worse. If the traitor had survived and given more detailed testimony, then no bribes would have helped the moneylender. He probably would have just been hanged. His body would hang on the gallows for a long time, exuding a corpse stench and being a tasty treat for carrion birds.

However, this scenario was avoided.

Because you were able to kill the traitor Leotan.

Etario looks at you incredulously and asks you clarifying questions about what happened.

Probably, his paranoid suspicion (which already existed due to the specific nature of the activity in which Etario is engaged) only increased due to Leotan's betrayal. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that Etario’s desire to bombard you with a stream of questions clarifying your every action.

You describe in detail the circumstances under which you were able to complete the difficult task of eliminating the traitor. A careful presentation of these details leaves no doubt in the mind of the moneylender that you killed the traitor.

Etario sighs sadly and takes a bag of money from the table. He then counts out 10 gold coins and hands the money to you.

You bow respectfully and take the money. This is a very large amount of money for you. This is more than anything you could been able to accumulate in your entire life (if you remained an ordinary peasant living in a remote forest village).

The half-orc bodyguard Javer, who stands in the corner of the room, looks at you with a look in which you can sense something unusual. A mixture of surprise and respect.

The moneylender nervously taps his fingers on the wood of the table.

Then he looks at you with his black slanting eyes. The expression in his gaze is difficult to understand.

The events of recent days have clearly provoked the emergence of new sophisticated plans for enrichment in the mind of this stingy and nosy guy. Considering the fact that Etario spent a lot of money on solving problems, his subsequent words to you are quite logical.

He slowly says: “You surprised me with your skills, Elmar... There is some... “special” task for you... This will not be the usual small business of extracting debts from all sorts of pathetic idiots. It will be something more significant. Listen to me carefully…"
