After a ten-minute wait, Alex finally returned with a grim expression.
"His Majesty has… approved it," he said in a heavy voice.
The expressions of Elina, Seira, Sylvia, and the soldiers shifted instantly. Only Nolan remained calm, as if he had already expected this outcome.
"Alright. Now hand me the check."
Nolan held out his left hand, his blunt attitude almost infuriating.
Alex gritted his teeth. He pulled a check from his pocket and wrote down the amount: five hundred million.
After signing it, he reluctantly handed it to Nolan.
Nolan took the check and examined it carefully.
Seira and Elina leaned in as well, scanning the details. After confirming that nothing was wrong, Nolan folded the check, clasped Elina's and Seira's hands, and stepped back three paces.
"You may take the ten thousand soldiers."
Alex snorted coldly. With the help of the soldiers he had brought, he began untying Erkan's men, including Erkan himself.
