Geopolitical Tension Part 1

"Shit…!"

Michael heard the President curse from the other end of the line.

"What happened?" Michael asked curiously, wondering why he'd curse out of the blue.

"The satellite is down. The Chinese shot it out of the sky," Greene responded frustratingly and continued. "That was our best chance and we lost it because of you, Mr. Reyes."

"Woah…calm down, Mr. President. You didn't inform me that you were going to attack China with my weather manipulation satellite."

"Why do we have to consult with you, Mr. Reyes? We have bought your technology. There shouldn't be any restrictions. This is a massive breach on your end." 

"You should be grateful that I have delayed World War 3, Mr. President. And a massive breach on my end? Mr. President, you are still going to pay me 50 billion dollars for that satellite. It was not yet bought fully on your end so technically, it is still not your satellite."
