The following message arrives if you '''killed''' your nemesis:

''Time has passed since you murdered Mr Cups, and there has been neither hue nor cry. [..] Perhaps your identity remains unknown, or perhaps the other Masters are glad to see an end to Cups' schemes. But something nags at you [..] You have forgotten something. Maybe you can refresh your memory at your lodgings.''

==Long-Term Rewards==
You get to hire the Esurient Smith.
*[[Hire in the Esurient Smith]]: The Esurient Smith is good at any project involving metals. His greater value is his Parabolan-self, which grants the most amount of {{IL|Parabolan Research}} from Parabolan-selves of research assistants at this time of writing.

There are also the rewards that come every four weeks.
