Speak To Adler Kemp And Hear Out The Debt

Evidence On Top Of Desk
The first evidence that you will find is on top of Adler's desk. You can grab it now or grab it when you report back about the debt.
Speak to Karl And Persuade
You can avoid violence by persuading Karl to pay up his debt. If you miss there will be other options but this will be the easiest so use the table below to pass through this step.
| Points | Choice |
| +2 | Is this really worth the risk? You could always make the money back later. |
| +3 | Adler's going to hurt you badly if you don't pay him back. |
Return back to Adler and give him the debt money and you have completed the quest.
