At that moment, the phone in the pocket of the Sultan's confidant rang. He glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number, so he immediately declined the call without answering.
"Who was that? Why didn't you answer?" the Sultan asked.
"It was an unfamiliar number, Your Majesty, and we still have matters to discuss. I figured it was probably a scammer," replied the confidant.
Beeep! Beeep! Beeep!
The phone rang again, the same number flashing on the screen. Shahid frowned and declined the call once more, this time blocking the number on his phone.
For about 15 seconds, the phone was silent before it rang again. This time, it connected itself without Shahid's permission, and a voice from the other side spoke.
"Mr. Al-Amin, you said you wanted to establish a connection with us, but you don't seem to care much about it," the voice said.
"Who are you?" Shahid asked, his suspicion growing.
