He had enough on his plate today to care. He was surprised when the man suddenly laughed.

Chapter 75

"So, what did this Manuel guy do to you?" John asked Ian as he leaned forward to get a closer look as Manuel was dragged out of a cell.

"My whole life was almost ruined because of him." Ian said with a frown as he kept his eyes on the screen.

"It must have been pretty bad for you to react this way." John said as he glanced at Ian. He couldn't read Ian's expression, he just kept a straight face as his attention was focused on the screen.

"I lost my temper, punched him, and almost went to jail." Ian explained briefly.

"It's good that you didn't go to jail." John said quite awkwardly.

"Yeah, that would have been a disaster." Ian said with a laugh.

As Ian continued to keep his attention on the screen he noticed as Manuel was made to kneel on the ground and the camera was adjusted so that Ian could get a better view.

"You wanna listen?" Ian asked John as he offered one of the earpieces.
