I was certain that there were still many things Atlas hadn't explained to me.
When Atlas saw that I was silent, he glanced atand said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Hmm?" I looked at him, still thinking about squestions 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 atwith 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 sreason, that didn't sound out of place at all. He looked so handsas he said that.
I asked mischievously, "Why are you so low-key then?" We both laughed. He liftedup and puton 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." "Are you serious?" "Why wouldn't I be?" "You should leave sroom for those ambitious people who are searching everywhere for wealth." I joked.

He was genuinely concerned about the country, and I truly admired him for it.
Looking at him, I asked earnestly, "And what about you?" "Economic control is important, but it needs to be built on the right path. I want to control those resources s they can contribute to the country's development in a positive way.
Atlas's words madelook at him with newfound respect. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesI looked at the man in front ofseriously. I had never discussed this with him before, and I didn't know he saw wealth that way. When he saw the look in my eyes, he gently said, "What's wrong? Didn't you expect your husband to be like this?" I nodded vigorously. "But when you say 'country', which country are you talking about?" 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 makesfeel at home." Content belongs to en.kikistories"So when you talk about protecting resources, it's for Zydan?" I asked.
"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.
