Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan’s expressions turned ghastly at the city defense soldiers’ statement. They thought their fathers had not come to save them yet. It turned out they had already come but failed to save them.
Did the city defense army’s commander-in-chief, Anne not even give face to their fathers?
No way!
The three of them were from prominent families of Dorodo. Even Mayor Quentin had to be polite and friendly when meeting them.
The city defense army’s commander-in-chief might be in charge of the city defense army’s legion, but he could not be this arrogant!
“You’re lying! You’re lying to us!” Lionel fumed.
“Forget it if you don’t believe me. I don’t want to waste my time talking to you…” The city defense soldier took his flashlight and prepared to leave after saying that.
Just then, Solomon suddenly pulled his wallet out of his pocket.
When the three were locked up the night before, only their phones were confiscated, denying them access to the outside world. They did not take their other belongings or money.
“Stop!” Solomon shouted and stopped the city defense soldier.
Then he pulled a stack of green cash notes out of his wallet, probably tens of thousands of Union Dollars.
Union Dollars was unlike Dragon Dollars. The largest denomination of Dragon Dollar was 100 dollars, also known as a hundred dollar bill. The largest denomination of Union Dollar was 1,000 dollars.
100 Union Dollars was equivalent to 150 Dragon Dollars. Thus, the stack of Union Dollar bills was equivalent to tens of thousands of Dragon Dollars.
“What do you want? Are you trying to bribe me? You’re insulting me!”
