After a brief moment of thought, Larry hummed.

He hadnt expected Adam to other such a large sum.

Thats more than enough, Larry quickly said.

Adam pulled out a checkbook, wrote the amount, and handed it to Larry.

Larry counted the zeros carefully.

It really was a million d 1 dollars.

He grinned.

Thank you, Mr. Ill be leaving now.

With the check in hand, Larry left the estate glectully.
