A faint smile played on his lips. Since he couldn't strip the Castellan family of their Marquis status, he could at least make them pay a massive fine.

"By the way, the losses aren't just that. There are also material damages—land and more," Rick said loudly. "In total, it amounts to billions of Sharn."
It wasn't only money that the Red Obsidian Trading House had invested in the Castellan family, but also land and property—factories, shops, and so on. All of this was separate from the cash capital, allowing the Castellan family to start other profitable ventures.
