I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

Chapter 34

After approximately forty minutes, Fabian and Commander Gregory arrived at the scene.

Oliver cautiously concealed himself behind a clump of grass, observing them discreetly. It was indeed Fabian leading the team, accompanied by others, all dressed in the uniform of the Manchernius army and armed with live ammunition. Once Oliver confirmed their identity, he emerged from his hiding spot and waved to them.

Gregory was a tough and rugged-looking man in his thirties.

As soon as Fabian saw Oliver, he hugged him and asked for a detailed account of the events from the previous night. After listening intently, Fabian engaged in a lengthy conversation with Gregory.

Oliver then addressed Fabian, saying, “Fabian, once the official auction is concluded, we will return home, which will take a total of four days. I will transfer 400 thousand dollars to you, and upon your arrival in the city, please assist me in withdrawing the funds and handing them over to Gregory. Additionally…”

Fabian nodded enthusiastically and immediately relayed Oliver’s words to Gregory. With a smile, Gregory nodded in agreement and engaged in a low rumble of conversation with Fabian.

After their discussion, Fabian turned to Oliver and said, “Mr. Eastwood, Commander Gregory said that if you stay in a hotel, it’s not convenient for them. If the army guards the hotel, it will cause too much attention. He invites you to stay in the military camp instead, where your safety will be more easily ensured. However, please be aware that the conditions in the camp are not as comfortable as a hotel.”

Oliver’s face lit up with joy as he promptly agreed, “That’s fine. We’ll stay in the military camp!”

Hailey added, “Fabian, please convey to Gregory that I will provide an additional 200 thousand dollars as a supplementary food allowance for the military camp.”

Fabian swiftly translated Hailey’s offer to Gregory, who couldn’t help but smile appreciatively at her generosity!

The offer of 200 thousand dollars, equivalent to 200 million Manchernius dollars, was an astounding amount considering that the whole army troop itself didn’t even have that much for a year’s living expenses.

Manchernius was renowned as the world’s poorest country, plagued by deep-rooted corruption that trickled down from the. top ranks. The lower-level troops bore the brunt of the exploitation.

But Gregory’s army troop fared relatively better. Their primary responsibility was to ensure the security of the official auction in Moulmore, a position that brought them significantly more benefits than other army troops. As a result, they enjoyed a relatively comfortable existence.

For someone like Oliver, who sought their security services, Gregory couldn’t have been happier. As long as there were no incidents within their jurisdiction, his superiors turned a blind eye to how they made money.

A business venture worth 600 thousand dollars, equivalent to a staggering 600 million Manchernius dollars, was an enormous windfall for Gregory and his army troop.
