Phase one (Part one) complete.

Thursday.

Felix had made a conscious decision to postpone taking action until the deadline set by the dictator had nearly expired and only one day remained to make contact with them.

"Hello, Your Excellency," Felix greeted as soon as he was informed that the phone was in Adolf's possession.

"Did you call to inform me that you've accepted my offer?" Adolf cut to the chase, not interested in small talk and wanting to make the most of his time.

"Yes, after discussing the matter, the headquarter decided to accept your proposal," Felix stated.

"Good. Then come tomorrow with the contract so we can sign it," Adolf said, his voice filled with a hint of excitement and joy.

"But the main headquarters has given us some conditions that need to be included in the contract for agreeing to your terms, Your Highness," Felix said, waiting for Adolf's excited voice to subside before adding his own input.
