Chapter 71: You’re Supposed to Spend Unexpected Money Meaningfully
Actually, it wasn't even much of a betrayal.
From the start, I had never made them any promises.
"Thank you for your hard work."

Most people were punished one after another like sausages getting packed in a line.
Those who brazenly refused to apologize and acted like they didn’t give a damn were, in a rare move for cases like this, sentenced to actual prison time.
It felt extremely satisfying, like I had cleaned up something filthy.
"Those who led the false rumors won’t be able to avoid prison sentences."
"That's good to hear."
"And even the ones who got leniency will at least be fined. If they can’t pay, they’ll be doing hard labor."
"Did any of them try to fight back?"
"Well, maybe some might get off with a suspended sentence or a fine... but even then, a criminal record will stay with them."
