Chapter 678 Family affection is a price
He wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead slightly, and said, "Okay, Ms. Fantine, don't ask so much about the current situation." Mr. Tiramisu is indeed operating as a magic swordsman. As for what kind of profession is a magic swordsman...... As I said earlier, it's a class that can use magic to fight. Well, that's pretty much it. β
After calming the businesswoman, Arrow turned to Uncle Yuan, who had been listening to him, and said, "Uncle Yuan, don't listen all the time over there, please come over here." First of all, I am extremely pleased that after the two deceased bodies were reduced to nothingness, someone was finally able to claim their souls and lead them home. Thank you both for going out of your way to come to us, and on behalf of them, thank you. β
Fantine and Uncle Yuan sat on opposite sides of the table, looked at each other and didn't say a word.
Arrow smiled and continued, "Now, Uncle Yuan, as you said before, you are Mr. Capone's family, there is nothing wrong with that, right? Of course, then, Mr. Capone's estate should also be entrusted to you. I believe this is all for the best. β
Hearing Arrow say this, Uncle Yuan immediately bounced up from his seat like his butt was on fire! There was excitement in his eyes, if it wasn't for the next second to continue to exercise restraint, Arrow believed that this old swordsman could jump directly from the first floor to the ceiling!
"How can thisβ"
Without Fantine on the other side showing surprise, Arrow quickly interrupted her interjection and continued to laugh, "But for the sake of safety, I have to say it again. Mr. Capone offended the members of the Royal Society of Magicians, but he is now dead. If the magicians of the association come to our town at this time to ask for someone, we will not be able to explain it. So, now that you are the heir to Mr. Capone's estate, are you willing to take on this responsibility? Explain this to the members of the Wizards' Guild who will be coming soon? β
As if he had expected it a long time ago, Uncle Yuan didn't even think about it, and nodded directly in agreement. He patted his chest and said, "Of course, my master caused trouble, and I, a servant, should naturally be partly responsible. So if someone from the association comes, I will naturally explain it to their people. Now, could you please give me my master's inheritance or something like that? I'm going to get ready. β
Get ready? Hehe, what to prepare?
After getting such a large amount of inheritance, even if someone from the association comes, can you directly settle it with money?
Of course, this behavior is very effective, and perhaps even the most effective way.
But if I really give you a list of my possessions right now, then Iero is really stupid!
"Of course, of course!"
Arrow nodded, the smile on his face still so gentle and orderly.
He got up, walked to the counter, took down a book from the shelf, returned to his place, opened it and said, "Uncle Yuan, I already understand your opinion. So now if I need to put these properties together with you, as a middleman, I need to deal with the share of these properties. Well, specifically, it's the cost of storage, and the related tax filing stuff. You should also know that if the inheritance amount is too large, you need to pay an inheritance tax through the tax return. β
Seeing that Arrow had already begun to act, Uncle Yuan's eyes widened. His hands kept rubbing against each other, like a hungry wolf who had been hungry for three days and suddenly saw a piece of delicious carrion in front of him, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face at all: "Okay, okay!" You say, how much do you want? β
Airo smiled, opened this special account book and looked through it, and said with a smile: "According to the laws of the Blue Bay Empire, if the total amount of inheritance is less than one hundred gold coins, ten percent of the inheritance tax will be charged, if it exceeds one hundred gold coins, if it is less than five hundred gold coins, it will be charged fifteen percent, and if it is more than five hundred and less than one thousand, it will be charged twenty percent. and more than 1,000 gold coins, an inheritance tax of 30% of the total estate is charged. I've listed an approximate number here, so please take a look at it. β
As he spoke, Arrow wrote a series of calculation formulas on a piece of paper, and finally proposed an amount of three thousand gold coins and placed it in front of Uncle Yuan.
Uncle Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw this number, but his face did not show any embarrassed expression. Instead, a little excited and happy?
But it doesn't matter, Arrow also pretended not to see it, continued to calculate, and said: "This is just my rough estimate, the specific amount may not be very clear, but the difference should not be very big." In addition, since Mr. Capone's estate is entrusted to our guild to act as an agent, it is clear that this is also a commission, and our guild should take a part of the commission. If you charge a 5% service fee according to the market price, it is about 500 gold coins. Again, let's count it as an integer, which is five hundred gold coins. β
Ai Luo handed over a piece of paper again, and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Yuan, this is a total of three thousand five hundred gold coins, how are you going to pay for it?" We can collect gold coins, but we can also collect the equivalent value of gold bars. If these two items are too heavy, you can also pay the equivalent value of mana crystals to replace them. β
Finally, the smile on Uncle Yuan's face gradually disappeared. He looked at the two bills in his hand, and then at the mermaid song president in front of him, who was obviously not ready to say anything, obviously confused.
But after just a minute, the old swordsman's mind began to spin, and the joy on his face began to gradually turn into nervousness and anger: "You...... What do you mean? Why should I pay?! β
Fang Ting on the side was not worried now, she looked very calm, and even smiled a little.
And Arrow continued to keep himself gentle, and said slowly: "This is very in line with the laws of our empire, inheritance tax, of course, you have to pay it first, and I can hand over the specific list of assets to you for disposal." After all, Mr. Capone's inheritance is handled from our guild's side, and if it is not handled well, the tax collector of the empire will come to check it out, and if there is any problem, it will be investigated to our guild. β
Seeing that this old swordsman's eyes were protruding and he looked like he was gritting his teeth, Arrow knew how many catties this person had.
Alas...... Does he really want to take good care of this inheritance?
Wrong.
He didn't really want to protect the inheritance and keep it from falling into the hands of some of the youngest.
If any of the heirs came out at this time and said that they really had the right to inherit, then Iero would be happy to hand over all the property lists, and then charge a huge amount of property management fees!
5 percent of 10,000 gold coins! Rounding it up, there are at least 500 gold coins coming in! What is humanity in the face of such a huge asset? What is a fraudster or something? In fact, SolaX can completely open the price a little higher, and directly get a 10% handling fee! But he is worried that if his price is too high, something strange and bad will happen, after all, he has been scared of this kind of thing for more than two years, and it is better to restrain it a little.
But the Uncle Yuan in front of him looks like he doesn't have any money to pay inheritance tax. In this case, regardless of whether the other party is a liar or not, even if the other party is really the heir of Mas Capone, then after handing over the inheritance list, he will completely fall into passivity, and then the fee will ask who will go? When the time comes, the terrible tax collector will come over and ask how to deal with the inheritance tax, and how will he answer?
"President Arrow, I want to ask a question." At this moment, Fang Ting, who was next to her, also seemed to frown slightly, and she asked, "Excuse me, if the heir really doesn't have so much money to pay the inheritance tax, will there be no way to inherit this money forever?" β
Arrow smiled heavily, after all...... The question finally came out of the woman's mouth: "Ms. Fantine, there is nothing to do with your side. After all, Mr. Tiramisu doesn't have any inheritance, so you don't have to worry about paying inheritance tax at all. β
Hearing Arrow say this, Fantine's complexion immediately changed, and she even pulled down the hood on her head and said nervously, "How can I not worry?" It's Caponeβ"
As soon as the words came out, Fantine immediately realized that she might have said the wrong thing. She looked at Arrow with a twisted expression, as if she was considering what topic she should use to turn the tide.
Arrows didn't give her time to think of a reason, but asked directly, "Capone?" Ah, indeed, Mr. Capone was indeed Mr. Tiramisu's teacher. But the master-apprentice relationship is not an inheritance relationship, what do you want to say? β
Seeing that the current situation was a little unfavorable to him, Fang Ting gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I know! I know that Mr. Capone gave all his inheritance to Tiramisu! Gave it to my nephew! So, this guy (pointing at Uncle Yuan) doesn't have any inheritance power at all! I have the right to inherit! β
Margaux on the side supported his staff, leaned on the handrail of the stairs, and smiled: "It's finally starting to be official." β
Crispy Pagoda weighed the kettle in her hand, and she seemed to want to put it down, but she didn't know where to put it. I want to send it to the kitchen, but I can't let go of this wonderful drama that is being staged in front of me, and I don't want to miss it for a second, so I can only continue to hug it very awkwardly and say, "How is it?" What's the situation now? β
Margaux continued to maintain this smiling appearance, and said slowly: "These two people are starting to compete with each other for the inheritance. You've done the arithmetic just now, right? This inheritance is more than 10,000 gold coins, and such a large amount of money must be dealt with well, otherwise there are likely to be all kinds of problems! You know, 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount no matter where you put it. β
Suta: "So, our president is now trying to find out who is the more accurate heir to the inheritance?" β
Margaux nodded and said with a smile: "According to the will, this property should be attributed to Tiramisu, which means that this woman named Fantine should be the heir to this property." β
"But the problem is that Tiramisu actually died before Capone, which means that at the time of Capone's death, the heirs to his will itself no longer existed. Therefore, the validity of this will is also to be determined, and it can be interpreted from any point of view. In other words, the only thing these two people need to do now is to try to convince us to tell which of them is the real relative. If one party is, one party is not, or neither is the case, then the question is simple. But if it's both, then the president should be thinking about who the money belongs to and how to distribute it better. β
Sutta nodded with a look of sudden realization, she continued to hold the kettle in her arms, looked at President Arrow over there with some admiration, and said reverently, "Our president is really responsible...... If it were me, I wouldn't know who should handle the money......"
(Whoever handles it, you guys give money to TMD!) οΌ
On the surface, Arrow smiled.
But in his heart, he had already scolded these two poor relatives over and over again!
At this moment, he was in no mood to tell who was the real heir of these two people, the only thing he could think of now was who would hand over the fees and taxes, and then let himself smoothly scrape together a thousand gold coins, and then take out all the list of these assets!
Anyway, all the procedures on my side are complete, and even if the tax officer comes to check, he can't find any problems. So, you two guys, no matter who you are, hurry up and get the money out! Don't have the money to grab any inheritance? Don't you know that the most expensive thing to fight a lawsuit is money?!
However, despite the many curses in his heart, on the surface, Arrow still had to maintain his bright business smile, so that these two people always felt that they were impartial and did not have any opinions about them.
"Alright, Ms. Fantine, where did you learn that all of Mr. Capone's inheritance should be attributed to Mr. Tiramisu? Testamentary aspects...... I don't think I've shown it to anyone else, right? The only people who know about this are the people of our guild and ...... Huh, Mr. Viscount Ruichi? β
Fantine's complexion changed suddenly! She tilted her head and thought about it, and immediately said, "You...... What are you talking about? What Viscount Chirui? I...... That's just what I thought! My nephew has been following Capone for so many years, and I don't know that this magic swordsman has any heirs or other heirs, so no matter what you think, my nephew may have inherited such a large inheritance, right? β
That's the reason...... Sort of that.
Arrow continued to smile: "And what about inheritance tax?" β
Obviously, a nervous mood appeared on Fantine's face again, and he kept saying things like "My nephew has been away from home since he was a child", "I didn't expect him to be dead now", but he didn't mention the inheritance tax and the commission fee.
Arrow has been struggling with this question for no reason, just to find out if there is anyone else behind these two people.
Now it is obvious that even if these two people are behind the command of a certain gang, then that gang should not be a big family. Not even a nobleman like Viscount Ruichi.
After all, for the sake of 10,000 gold coins, 3,500 gold coins were obviously earned, and there was no need for those rich nobles to hide it.
Therefore, seeing that these two people were all showing embarrassed expressions in front of money, Arrow didn't want to continue to discuss, and said directly: "Okay, don't worry about it anymore." Since neither of you can afford any inheritance tax or commissioning fee, then I can only do business. I will submit a list of Mr. Capone's estate and will to the capital city in a month's time, so that the funds and property can be disposed of there. If the two of you have anything else to say, why don't you go to Hanhai City together and talk to the justice. β
"Of course, of course!"
Arrow nodded, the smile on his face still so gentle and orderly.
He got up, walked to the counter, took down a book from the shelf, returned to his place, opened it and said, "Uncle Yuan, I already understand your opinion. So now if I need to put these properties together with you, as a middleman, I need to deal with the share of these properties.
