The nobles below instantly became agitated, "You can't do this!"
"What will we do if those banks go bankrupt?"
"We shall petition Her Majesty the Queen!"
"I have some good news for everyone," Brian's voice calmed the crowd, "The Bank of France Reserve will acquire Belanger Bank, taking over the previous debts of the bank."
The bulk of the bank's debt was the nobles' investments.
The nobles of the "Necker Alliance" burst into cheers, "Acquisition? That's excellent!"
"Long live His Majesty the King! Long live the Bank of France Reserve!"
"We are saved at last!"
However, some quick-witted nobles immediately spotted the problem and asked loudly, "Archbishop Brian, does the Bank of France Reserve have sufficient funds?"
"Yes! There may be more banks with issues in the future, is the Bank of France Reserve going to acquire them too?"
