Although I was a bit nervous, I believed that Atlas would be able to open it.
As expected, he reached out without hesitation and pressed the confirm button. With a click, the lock opened.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Atlas with joy. I didn't expect him to open it so easily. I didn't know if he was just too clever or if it was too smooth for him.
The manager, Tris, and Dylan withdrew, leaving only me and Atlas inside. I knew that Atlas wouldn't hide anything from Dylan and Tris.
A stack of somewhat yellowed documents was visible when Atlas opened the box. After a fleeting perusal through them, Atlas's hand stopped sharply, and his eyes brightened.
He handed the documents to me, and I was also surprised. These were some mining approval documents. This meant that Louis and Rory had already made all the preparations for mining. It was a pity that they were just one step away from realizing their dreams.
He then took a velvet bag from the box containing Louis's official seal, which explicitly corresponded to these documents.
His gaze paused again before he reached out and took out an intricately carved iron box from inside. The craftsmanship of the box was quite exquisite. It was clearly not an ordinary item. This box alone should make it pretty valuable.
I glanced at Atlas, and we both understood without saying a word that there must be something we needed inside.
Atlas decisively packed everything back into the box and instructed the manager to process the withdrawal procedures.
We left the bank, got in the car, and returned to the estate. Along the way, it was clear that Tris was very cautious, and the car was fast.
