"Interesting, Slanca wouldn't let his men answer my call,"
the male voice on the other end of the phone chuckled, the words laced with a kind of mental oppression, "So, is this Mr... or Ms.? Is Slanca already dead? Perhaps..."
He Ao took the handset from his ear.
This person seemed rather talkative.
Then he hung up the phone.
——
On the other end of the phone, in a brightly lit office, a man dressed in fine clothes took a smart bracelet from his wrist and listened quietly to the 'beep beep beep - ' busy signal caused by the phone hanging up.
He gently held the bracelet and then crushed it with force, fragments of metal sparkling with faint electricity fell from his fingertips.
"Does this guy... not know that it's very impolite to hang up before someone else has finished speaking?"
Then he fiercely slapped his hand on the desk, and the thick metal steel plate surface was hit with a downward crack like it was just a piece of paper.
