The Author's POV
Chapter 230
"Did you manage to retrieve all of the stolen goods?"
Asked Amber as she sat on a large leather chair. Before her, a female secretary politely nodded her head.
"Yes, we have Madam"
"Mhm, how much would we have lost if Ivan had succeeded?"
"That..."
The secretary hesitated.
Brushing her hair to the side, Amber's brows knit and her tone became stern.
"I want a clear answer"
Instantly the atmosphere turned sullen.
"2.7 b-billion U"
Closing her eyes, the secretary mustered up her courage and revealed everything that she knew.
"huuu..."
Hearing the sum, Amber took a deep breath.
She then looked at her assistant and asked once again. She wanted to make sure she didn't mishear.
Unfortunately for her, she did not mishear as her secretary shook her head.
"2.7 billion U, am I hearing incorrectly?"
"U-unfortunately not, Madam. After investigating we found a lot of the auctioned items to have been replaced with fakes. Excluding the sword, the last item, everything that was stolen had an accumulated value of 2.7 billion U"
"Haaa...alright, you may leave"
Letting out a long sigh, Amber dismissed her secretary.
'2.7 billion...'
Although this was within her estimation, hearing the number still threw Amber off. This was a lot of money.
Even she, a ranked hero as well as the owner of multiple businesses would need at least a couple of decades to be able to save up that much money.
"Thank you, Madam, I hope you have a good night"
"Yes, yes"
Dismissed, the secretary bowed her head. Amber casually waved her hand in response. She needed to be left alone.
'”Clank!
Closing the door behind her, the servant left the room.
Silence prevailed over the room as Amber quietly picked up some papers and looked through them.
'”Flip! '”Flip!
For the next thirty minutes, Amber skimmed through the stack of papers.
Written on them were the details of the incident as well as other information regarding the times retrieved from Ivan's dimensional storage space.
'Sigh, I can't seem to be able to concentrate...'
After a while, Amber put the papers down.
Just thinking about the whole situation gave her a headache. In fact, her head was already starting to hurt.
Opening her desk drawer, Amber took a small cylindrical bottle and took out a pill.
"If not for Monica, things would've turned out disastrous..."
Taking a glass of water, Amber downed the pill and muttered.
Had it not been for Monica, her night would've been a sleepless one.
Most of the responsibility for the incident would've been put on her, and in all likelihood, she was going to be the one who would have to pay a large portion of the damages.
"To think that there was a day where I would have to thank Monica. The world is truly something..."
Bitterly laughing, Amber leaned back on her chair and covered her eyes with her arm.
She was tired.

Outside the King's Crown hotel...
"See, everything worked out just fine"
With a smile on my face, I patted Kevin on the shoulder.
All in all, everything worked out just fine.
Rather than remaining angry at Kevin, Monica actually thanked him and completely forgave him.
Everything worked out just fine. There was no need for Kevin to remain angry at me.
"Don't touch me!"
Smacking my hand away, Kevin grumpily made his way towards the limousine that was a few blocks ahead.
"Oh, come on! It wasn't that bad. Monica is not even angry at you!"
"It doesn't matter. You backstabbed me"
"Tsk, if we're talking about selling out shouldn't we be talking about you?"
Clicking my tongue, I rebutted.
"What about me?"
"Did you forget about the fact that you literally exposed our conversation to everyone a couple of hours ago?"
"What? that's different"
In response to my argument, Kevin's brows knit.
"Is it though?"
"Yes, it is"
