CXCIX. Astalia

Shadi, Swan, and the other able-bodied leaders supervised the pirates as they counted the money. Given the immense amount, there might be those tempted to hide some for themselves.

The profits from this heist far exceeded the estimated ten thousand Golden Dragons.

Only the eminent nobles had a place on this trip.

Honor nobles without actual power and those who had fallen from grace should not even come close.

These noble ladies competed with each other, not just with the many pieces of jewelry they wore. In the carriage, they also brought jewelry boxes, for wearing the same jewelry every day seemed poor, and they could use it to match clothes of different colors.

Bags filled with jewelry.

And of course, every noble also brought their spending money, at least two to three hundred Golden Dragons for lavish spending at the final stop and various expenses during the journey.

Bags filled with Golden Dragons.

"With this money, everyone would be hit by a large truck."
