Today, I finally understood why ATL Empire was so powerful and had such a wide range of business projects.
I finally knew why people from all walks of life, including Archie, looked up to the company.
I didn't need to think too hard about it.
I was certain that there were still many things Atlas hadn't explained to me.
When Atlas saw that I was silent, he glanced at me and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Hmm?"
I looked at him, still thinking about some questions in my mind.
"I've said it before. As long as you want to do something, I'll support you!"
I put down my fork, sounding a little childish as I lowered my voice and asked, "Honey, then... Do we have a lot of money?"
He looked at me with a dumbfounded expression, his white teeth gleaming as he also put down his fork and smiled contentedly. He said, without hesitation, "You could say that we’re very wealthy.”
For some reason, that didn't sound out of place at all. He looked so handsome as he said that.
I asked mischievously, "Why are you so low-key then?"
We both laughed. He lifted me up and put me on his lap. "You're only realizing that now? We're low-key because we own less than half of the mines. My goal is to get an equal share of the pie.”
I almost blurted out a curse word.
Wasn't he being too ambitious? Why didn’t he just aim for the stars instead?
But I couldn't dampen his enthusiasm!
"Huh? Ah!”
I nodded without reservation and kissed him on the lips. "Keep working hard, then!"
He nodded solemnly. "I’ll definitely achieve our goals."
I asked that because he was born in Nocturnia and had grown up in multiple countries. Even ATL Empire's subsidiaries were spread across the globe. I was curious about which country he wanted to protect.
"No matter where I go or how many countries I visit, I’ll always think I’m from Zydan," he said solemnly. "Only in Zydan do I feel warmth, hope, and democracy. Nowhere else offers these qualities. That’s why Zydan makes me feel at home.”
"So when you talk about protecting resources, it's for Zydan?" I asked.
"Of course. I've already reached an unofficial agreement with Archie about this. I need to protect the country's interests and use my abilities and resources to safeguard these treasures, ensuring they create even greater value. I won't let them fall into the hands of those driven by greed."
"You have my support!" At this moment, supporting him was the best thing I could do.
"This isn't just my and Archie's wish. It was also my late father’s wish. That was why he chose Torado and returned to Zydan, establishing the headquarters in Foswood.
"He never slackened his control over his resources. He always remained vigilant and never let go of his share. His goal was certain, and after accepting it, I decided to work on it.”
"Will you give up your interests for this?" I asked.

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
