Myanmar.
Yangon City.
In each luxurious manor and villa.
The big shots had just gone to bed when a phone call awakened them. At first, they thought they had misheard, but after confirming it again, they were left with their mouths agape.
This was an incredibly shocking piece of news.
Their airplane had been shot down by Ling. This was beyond unexpected. They had thought that Ling couldn't possibly possess such weapons, and even if he did, he wouldn't dare to use them as it would entail an open confrontation with them.
Yet Ling had been bold enough to do just that.
Completely disregarding their status. They couldn't fathom who could have given Ling such courage. They still didn't know which country's weapons had been used to shoot them down, but this wasn't the important thing. The nature and consequences of this event were what mattered.
Now it wasn't just about whether or not to openly fall out with Ling.
