Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 544 - 299 The True Meaning of Tokens

Joshua Hughes spent several hours in the interrogation room, unaware of the changes occurring outside.

Atlas Hallow called Flower Snake, because for such a tricky matter, he must enlist someone from Sydney for Joshua Hughes’s bail, and the travel time from Sydney to here is the shortest.

However, this elder has too deep a bond with him, and probably cannot be persuaded.

He wanted to ask Flower Snake if there’s any way to approach this elder to bail Joshua Hughes out.

"I definitely need Sir Liam Hamilton to bail Joshua Hughes out from the Las Vegas police station. Do you have any suggestion?" Speed is of the essence; there’s no room for delay. Sir Hamilton is deeply respected; his status is independent of wealth, as stable as a giant rock.

Only with Sir Hamilton’s intervention can Joshua Hughes safely emerge from the police station unscathed.

Atlas Hallow indeed felt somewhat uneasy; speed is of the essence and he couldn’t procrastinate.

"I’m afraid Sir Hamilton cannot be coaxed anymore, but there’s someone who can influence him." Flower Snake’s voice on the other end of the line still sounded like he had been ill for some time, carrying a bit of weariness, yet it was sincere and straightforward.

How could not even someone like Flower Snake persuade him? Then who else could?

Moreover, if you ask someone for a favor, if that person doesn’t agree, it will still consume a lot of time, and the thing least tolerable right now is time.

"I have no time to seek out favors for such requests; I’ll think of another way." Atlas Hallow’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and just as he wanted to hang up, Flower Snake spoke from the other side.

"This person will definitely help you; she’s my adopted daughter Mia Miller, also your daughter." When Flower Snake uttered these words, Atlas Hallow was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit unsettled.

How could this matter be related to Mia?

Concern leads to chaos, something Atlas Hallow couldn’t avoid.

"Mia shares a connection with the silver ring; it seems that the ring stayed with me all these years to guard it for her. Once she presents the silver ring to Sir Hamilton, everything will be resolved without obstruction." Flower Snake said such a lengthy sentence and couldn’t help but cough lightly.

This kind of thing truly has some oddness to it, he’s the guardian of that ring, and all along, he believed Mia would take the silver ring to its rightful owner.

Even though many have said that the Tanner Family has no descendants left, he believes in the vast earth there is everlasting hope, and believes the Tanner Family still has bloodlines on this world, hence he has guarded the ring for so many years.

When Mia’s delicate fingers touched it, he felt the ring would find its owner through Mia.

Perhaps destiny started when Atlas Hallow told him years ago, hoping he would become the child’s godfather.

"I understand." Atlas Hallow hung up and called Joseph Shaw, asking him to take ample manpower to escort Mia flying to Sydney.

Flower Snake didn’t say much more, and Atlas Hallow understood that Sir Liam Hamilton must have had countless connections with the Tanner Clan in the past.

At the hotel, Charlotte Miller was pacing back and forth on the carpet, wanting to go upstairs to accompany Avery Jane, but Atlas Hallow asked her to wait for him, mentioning other things she needed to do and instructing her not to leave.

He spoke in urgency, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Atlas Hallow indeed rushed, having to get Joshua Hughes out by today, yet he was extremely reluctant to involve Mia in these matters.

But it had to be her.

Sometimes destiny has devised everything in advance, waiting for everyone to accept their fate and walk their destined path.

His daughter might be destined not to be an ordinary girl; indeed, when Mia was born, she was already extraordinary, after all, she is Atlas Hallow’s daughter.

Due to the danger involved, and because she is his precious treasure, he didn’t allow his subordinates to handle it, asking Joseph Shaw to personally escort.

"Charlotte Miller, you need to go to Sydney now; I’ve arranged a helicopter to take you there. Once you receive Mia, wait in the VIP room at the airport to meet Sir Liam Hamilton, ask him to bail Joshua Hughes out." Atlas Hallow briefly explained. Time was indeed pressing; every passing second meant the situation would become more complicated.

Before dark, he must get the person out; a trapped dragon, despite its fierceness, cannot fly in shallow waters.

"Why Mia?" Charlotte Miller asked while quickly moving; she walked swiftly into the bedroom, removing her bathrobe, and quickly dressed.

"Do you remember the silver ring Mia got from Flower Snake? Since she chose that ring herself, it naturally signifies an extraordinary destiny. I would protect her even at the cost of my life, but as a father, I have selfish motives. I want Mia to personally go; Joshua Hughes owes this favor for a lifetime, as Mia is merely four years old for him. He owes a child’s gesture, you understand? I want him never to be able to repay it." Atlas Hallow watched Charlotte Miller changing clothes right before him, sensible and calm, listening to him speak.

She is precisely the woman he loves, composed and intelligent at critical moments, free from pretensions, and truly lovable from the heart.

"I understand." A father’s selfishness was clearly written across Atlas Hallow’s face. Charlotte Miller felt somewhat moved and somewhat sorrowful.

Is Mia really destined to be an exceptional girl? How influential is that silver ring that it makes Atlas pledge a lifelong debt of gratitude from Joshua Hughes, requiring Mia, such a little thing, to handle this matter?

Moreover, it’s something no one else can handle.

Atlas Hallow watched the helicopter take off, feeling a bit reassured with Daniel Parker accompanying Charlotte. He wanted to go personally, but couldn’t leave, needing to stay here to observe; if anything unexpected happened, snatching people wasn’t out of the question.

Sydney Airport

Mia wore a very simple white dress, black shoes, with a small black hat on her head, somewhat formal yet very cute.

When she saw Charlotte Miller, she jumped all over her, rubbing her small face in Charlotte’s arms and sweetly calling her: ’Mommy...’

As she called "Mommy," Charlotte Miller’s eyes turned red.

She really missed Mia, not having seen her for several days. She deeply inhaled Mia’s slight milky scent, which was from her bath soap, always making people feel incredibly sweet.

"Mia, Mommy needs you to help me with something, okay?" Atlas Hallow told Charlotte Miller that only the owner of this silver ring could make the request, so it must be Mia who directly speaks.

"Okay." Mia nodded. Her voice was still not very loud, clear and pleasant.

After Charlotte carefully explained a few things, an elder walked into the VIP waiting room.

Mia watched the elderly man walking in, stepped down from her chair, and walked step by step to him.

She tugged out a thin red string from her clothes, on which hung a very simple, clean silver ring.

The dignified and noble-looking elder’s eyes trembled significantly at the sight of the ring, taking a breath, placing a hand on his chest, slightly bowing before speaking, "What’s your name?"

Years later, this silver ring finally saw daylight again.

"My name is Mia Miller. Grandpa, would you help me with something?" Mia tilted her little head, her black eyes like black jade watching Liam Hamilton, eyes seemingly bearing a composure unusual for a child under four.

"Okay." Everyone who was ever part of the Tanner Clan will always be part of the Tanner Clan, so when this ring appears, there’s no reason to refuse.

This silver ring is a token.

What is a token? Only at this moment did Charlotte Miller feel how powerful the token’s influence is.

A token doesn’t represent something specific, but rather an unbreakable agreement spirit, and a token is merely a carrier of this contractual spirit.

Atlas Hallow breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Joseph Shaw’s call, knowing things went smoothly; indeed, they could get Joshua Hughes out before nightfall.

Under the scorching sun, the helicopter roared downward, rotors churning up massive airflow, stirring an urgent taste.

Las Vegas is after all risky, Joseph Shaw having already taken Mia back first; this isn’t their territory can’t leave any soft spots here.

Not from fear, but because she’s his precious darling, it’s impossible to let her face unnecessary risks at this moment.

"How’s Mia?" Atlas Hallow observed Charlotte Miller coming down from the helicopter, wind messing her long hair, brushing across her face; even her skirt billowed, like blossoming flowers...
