"Mr. George? Why do you sound so disgruntled and so eager." What could be the reason? Honorable Nketiah was surprised after detecting the other party's tone.
He has known Mr. George for quite some time now and the relationship between them has been pretty good. It could even be said that his current position as a minister was the outcome of Mr. George's assistance because it was Mr. George who introduced him to the mysterious organization where he was able to build his power slowly.
However, during all these years that he had known Mr. George, this was the first time he had heard Mr. George expressing his emotions. Even though it was just a brief one, he was still able to perceive due to his key sense of hearing.
" Hahaha, I guess I am long in the tooth. I can't seem to hide my emotions from you again." Mr. George jokingly said.
"It's just that my son has been living in constant humiliation and shame in these past few days whereas I am unable to do anything to help him since I'm no longer in the service." He paused for some time and resumed a few seconds later,
"May I ask about the favor I last requested from you?"
"Oh? About that? Rest assured. It's almost done. I'll inform you straight away when I get the confirmation call today. Honorable Nketiah replied. About three days ago, Mr. George called and requested a favor of him wanting to 'take care' of a sergeant.
Initially, he found it insulting to his status as a minister. Nevertheless, he soon realized that the sergeant he had described and thought about as mere was the one responsible for disrupting his 'yearly quota plans'.
Realizing that he could kill two birds with one stone, thus, eliminating the problem in this path of success and paying Mr. Joe the favor he bestowed upon him during his initial days in the mysterious organization he immediately accepted the request.
"Today? Okay then. Thank you very much. Since you've got a lot of things on your plate. I'm hanging up now so you can take care of them. I'll be expecting your call soon. Hahaha." Mr. George said happily and after that hung up the call.
"Hiya! I'm feeling a lot better now." Mr. George heaved a sigh of relief as he took one of the newspapers on his table and poured himself a drink.
The recent humiliation his son has been enduring has taken a big toll on him. Though he never revealed his emotions before his son, anytime he sees him, he feels so hurt as if a thousand needles were poking his stomach.
But now that he had gotten an assurance from the minister, he felt much more at ease as all that he needed to do was to read and drink while he waited for the good news later on the day.
After ending the call with Mr. George, Honourable Nketiah didn't stay idle as he went to a secret room pulled out a burner phone, and proceeded to dial a number.
"Kpooon! Kpoon! Kpoon!" The sound of an ongoing call sounded out. However, it soon ended as the other side didn't pick up the call.
"Is he busy?" Honorable Nketiah thought doubtfully.
"Maybe he's on the mission."However, he soon convinced himself.
