The Devil's hand

Genesis Weapon store, Imperial City;

"Here is the remaining payment." Mark handed about 19 pouches filled with 5000 gold coins in each and another pouch with 145 gold coins to Merchant Zheng Ha upon receiving the goods. 

Adding 30k gold coins of advance payment, Mark had given him about 125145 gold coins in total, of which the order is 121,500 gold coins. The remaining 3645 gold coins are Zheng Ha's commission fee. 

The merchant was very happy to score it big and felt like his hard work had paid off. On the other hand, Mark's wealth dropped down to below 100k for the first time since he had extorted that amount from the noble clans.

Fortunately, there are still pending orders, and once they are completed, his unaccounted money will not only turn into his official wealth but also increase further after the remaining amount is being paid.
