Vice-President Tang told himself that this was a silver lining.
If they only rescued their own people, then it wouldn't be such a bad thing. At least, with the addition of their captured comrades, they still had a shot at turning the tables in their favor.
He was surprised, therefore, when he heard an unfamiliar voice from the other end of the line.
"Hey! Is this the damn Vice-President from the Green Cloud Pavilion? We are from the Cabinet. Would you be so kind as to report to our Elders that we've tied up all the worthless goons that you sent over? Hurry and tell them we're waiting for further instructions!"
The man immediately ended the call before Vice-President Tang could get a word in.
Vice-President Tang was understandably livid. His face grew dark, and his body trembled ever so slightly.
Preposterous!
How utterly preposterous!
How could the Cabinet Elders go behind his back like that?
