John Smith's days in the Imperial Hotel came to an end.

Madame Aurora and the entire MOMO family got together to bid him goodbye.

It was a grand affair. They needed to make sure John Smith enjoyed his stay at the Imperial Hotel before he leaves.

“I'll surely return,” John Smith promised Madame Aurora. “Once I arrive at my nation, I'll execute the shipment of your gold with immediate effect.”

Madame Aurora felt over the moon. “I can hardly wait. We should exchange emails so we can keep in touch.”

But John Smith shook his head. “I can't allow that. It's part of my nation's regulations not to exchange contacts with foreigners. However, I'll reach out to you.”

Madame Aurora was disappointed. “But how would you do that?”

John Smith smirked. “We have our ways, of course. I'll message you the moment my private jet lands.”

Madame Aurora grinned. “In that case, I'll wait.”

John Smith turned to Valeria, who looked earnestly at him.

“John Smith, let me come with you, please,” she pleaded.
