"Remember when I bought you out for 50 million? Quite the hefty sum, wasn't it?" Angelo replied, "Just 50 million? If I have to, I'll pay you back. I'll buy my own freedom!"

We didn't who it was, but he had a contract from the Mintos! He requested the latest machines, and we followed the contract to the letter. The contract was verified as legit! Boss, I'm telling the truth!" Odie asked calmly, "The buyer's contact info and the delivery location." "No contact info! But they specifically asked us to deliver the machines to the Devonport docks!" "Is my signature on the contract?" "No... it's not." "So you signed it yourself?" "I wouldn't dare! I swear!"
