In a conference room at a certain building in Los Angeles in the States.
Ian was sitting face to face with two Caucasian men and two of Asian descent.
"Do you know the consequences?" a forty some Caucasian man who was sitting in the middle glared at Ian with a fierce expression.
Ian received criticism immediately after he replaced Lu Jia'er's memory. It was inevitable that he had to face condemnation directly during this trip back to the States. Ian had been prepared mentally. "Yes!"
"All of the previous efforts in Project Ghost will go down the drain because of you!" the Caucasian man looked into Ian's eyes.
Ian replied. "I am willing to bear all the consequences."
"I am afraid you cannot!" fury was all over the Caucasian man's face.
"I am willing to make amends!" Ian said.
"It is too late" was the Caucasian's answer.
"I am sorry. I was seized with a sudden impulse!" Ian apologized.
