Poor-looking Merchant

[Machen]

Why...?

How did my

family's wealth

and prestige just

go down the drain?

Ever since the

Alcheshs came to Alberta,

they quickly took our place

as the biggest business owners

here. It's our biggest shame...

*Sigh...*

How did it happen?

How did the Alcheshs

become so rich so quickly?

My family, the Tudas,

used to run the biggest

trading company in Alberta.

But when the Alcheshs came

fifty years ago, they started

to outdo us in everything...

It's like they're financial

geniuses or something!

Under Bakerlan's guidance,

their estate has grown to be

one of the richest in Alberta,

if not all of Rune-Midgarts...

Bakerlan...?

Oh, he's probably

in his ten story money

vault, swimming in his

money by now. You

know rich people.

It-was-a-joke!

You see that big

mansion to the north?

That's the Alchesh Estate.

He should be home now.

He usually travels

a lot on business,

but if you're lucky you

should be able to catch him.

You know, if the Alcheshs

were greedy, they actually

wouldn't be as big as they

are today. They've contributed

to a lot of social causes and

that won them a lot of support.

I gotta admit...

The whole family

is a bunch of financial

geniuses, alright.
