Chapter 68: Absconding with the Money

The coin pouch was made of dark brown leather. Its surface had been meticulously polished, and its edges were reinforced with exquisite linen thread. The opening was secured with a sturdy design using threaded ropes. The knot was intricate yet ingeniously designed—easy for the owner to open quickly, but difficult for outsiders to untie, thereby ensuring the safety of the Gold Coins inside. The pouch itself was likely worth quite a few Silver Coins.

Gaode quickly picked up the pouch and untied the opening, revealing a lining of soft wool fabric inside. This design was meant to reduce the clinking sound of the Gold Coins colliding, while also protecting the coins from scratches or corrosion. Hundreds of Sean Gold Coins lay quietly within the pouch, their glittering gold making Gaode's eyes light up. Their heavy weight was particularly reassuring.
