Chapter 549 A Last-Ditch Effort

“I was terrified, honestly,” Simon continued, his voice shaking. I knew I had to apologize to those big shots. So I went to them, tried to make things right. But do you know what they di

He looked up, feigning outrage. “They demanded six million! Six million as an apology feet

Simon watched Killian’s face carefully, pushing harder. “We want to make peace, we don’t wa to cross those Nexopolis elites.

He leaned forward, grabbing Killian’s sleeve with a desperate, fevered hope in his eyes. “Killia you were there too. You’re part of this. You’ve got the means. I thought maybe you could help us share the burden. Just a little. If you chip in, we can split it and get through this.”

Without another word, Killian turned and strode out the door, leaving Simon frozen in the middle of the room.

Simon stood there, stunned. Then rage surged through him. “Killian! You bastard! You coward!” He screamed curses at the empty room.

But curses wouldn’t save him.

Soon, heavy footsteps echoed outside, followed by a firm knock.

“Your hour is up.” Jerold’s voice was cold.

Simon stared at the light filtering through the door, drowning in regret. Finally, he opened it. grabbed his half-packed luggage, and walked toward the dock under the watchful eyes of the guards.
