Billionaire in Kingsman with a Marvel System

After reaching an agreement with Archer, Christmas received a call from Antonov in Kano, reporting that the mercenaries at the airport were mobilizing, numbering around four to five hundred. Hanging up, Christmas asked Archer, "Why only four or five hundred? Doesn't Frobe have a structured force of over a thousand?"

"God, do you think Frobe always gathers all his men for every operation? Do you know how costly it is to maintain a force of a thousand every day? Only an idiot would assemble so many without a specific mission. Let me warn you, to minimize casualties, Frobe will likely launch a preemptive strike with a Mi-24 helicopter."

Christmas nodded, aware of the Mi-24 at the airport. "So, how many people do you think are left at the airport?"

Archer thought for a moment. "I'm not sure of the exact number, but judging by the tents, there shouldn't be more than 600 people."

"So, less than 200 left behind at the airport, and with technical and medical staff, maybe fewer than 100 combatants?"

"Roughly," Archer replied uncertainly.

Christmas relayed Archer's information to Antonov at the airport and then waited.

Four hours later, reconnaissance from the Black Blade UAV reported that Frobe's troops were only ten kilometers from the mining area, with Frobe himself already en route in a Mi-24. Christmas immediately informed William, who, along with the remaining team members, boarded three Mi-24s. The base was 180 kilometers from the mining area, a distance that could be covered in 40 minutes at full speed.

William, sitting in the co-pilot's seat, checked the weapon systems. Once everything was confirmed operational, the three heavily armed Mi-24s headed toward the mining area.

The battle began immediately upon Frobe's arrival with the Mi-24, but the surprise attack didn't go as planned. The miners, under heavy bombardment and strafing, didn't retreat. After ten minutes, when the helicopter's ammunition was exhausted, the miners, despite heavy casualties, began a ground battle with Frobe's mercenaries.

Without air support, Frobe's mercenaries started suffering increased casualties. Frobe, commanding from the air for over twenty minutes, realized the mining area was a trap. The miners, initially panicked, had armed themselves from wooden crates and engaged the ground mercenaries.

As reports of casualties continued to come in, Frobe, understanding the situation, angrily punched the cabin wall and shouted, "Fuck, I'm going to kill Archer. Retreat, retreat!"

On the hill, Christmas and his team, continuously monitoring the situation, informed William at the first sign of retreat. William, who had positioned his mercenaries a few kilometers away, ordered an attack.

From a kilometer away, William's three Mi-24s launched six missiles at Frobe's returning Mi-24, hitting it with two and causing it to explode mid-air.

With Frobe's death, the battle's outcome was inevitable. After half an hour of fighting, with the assistance of over 1,600 mercenaries armed with AKs, and under sporadic sniper fire from the mining area, Frobe's remaining forces, suffering significant casualties, surrendered.

At the airport, Archer successfully lured out the remaining mercenaries, allowing Antonov's team to eliminate them with minimal casualties. After securing the airport, Antonov's forces encountered no resistance and took control of Kano Airport.

After the battle, William's Mi-24 squad remained airborne for half an hour, distrustful of the African mercenaries below. Once Christmas and Caesar confirmed the diamond's retrieval and Archer and Road verified no survivors from Frobe's helicopter, the team headed to Kano Airport.

Regarding Frobe's surrendered men, William had no concerns. According to Archer, those who surrendered wouldn't survive long, given the southern tribes' customs of leaving no survivors, especially against Frobe, who had fought against them years ago.

Twenty minutes later, the Mi-24 squad landed at Kano Airport, where, surprisingly, everything appeared normal, with no signs of battle. Medical personnel and staff went about their duties unperturbed.

Upon disembarking, Barney and his team began handling matters. Meanwhile, Christmas, having removed their gear, approached William with Solomon and Archer.

Taking the diamond from Solomon, William examined it briefly under the sun before casually tossing it to a surprised Archer.

This action puzzled everyone, especially Solomon, who asked, "I don't understand, sir. After all the effort and money spent to acquire the diamond, you just give it away?"

William didn't answer Solomon directly, instead addressing him with a smile. "Solomon, thank you for risking your life to complete my task. Your mission is over, and there's no need to know more; it wouldn't benefit you. Go now."

William nodded to Caesar, then pointed to the Mi-24 being refueled. "The pilot and Caesar will take you to find your son. After that, Caesar will take you to Switzerland. Your wife and daughters will be sent there as well. In Switzerland, someone will meet you at the Swiss National Bank, where you'll find passports, a $3 million account, and a small lodge on Iron Cross Mountain. I stayed there once; it's nice. Consider it a reward for your outstanding performance. Take care of your family, Solomon, and good luck."

Tears streamed down Solomon's face as he thanked William. "Thank you, sir. I'll always remember your kindness and will always be your loyal friend. Please visit us at the lodge anytime; my family and I will always welcome you."

Unexpectedly, Solomon embraced William, who awkwardly patted Solomon's back, laughing. "Alright, alright, Solomon, let me go. I accept your invitation, but if you don't let go, I'll have to yell."

Once Solomon released him, William joked, "God, this is the first time I've been hugged by a man and not let go."

William's humor lightened the farewell, and after apologizing and embracing Archer, Solomon boarded the helicopter with Caesar, looking back three times as they departed to reunite with his son, Dia.
