“A—Alright. Thank you very, very much!”

The old man’s eyes turned glassy. He slowly took the gemstone from Fane’s hands.

“It contains the hearts of all the soldiers in our country? Hmph. You think too highly of yourself now. Even a general wouldn’t spew such flowery nonsense!” Michael, who stood by the side, smiled a cruel smile when he heard this.

“Talking as though you were a god of war!” he scoffed to himself.

“Thank...thank you!”

The old man wanted to get onto his knees, but Fane stopped him.

“How generous of you, giving something worth 7 to 8 million away just like that. Why didn’t you keep it for yourself? If you gave it to Grandfather Taylor, the Taylors wouldn’t trouble you so much since its value is almost 10 million. Well, almost… But it’s better than not being able to fork out anything when his birthday comes along!”

Michael smirked as he came face-to-face with Fane.
