John stared at his phone screen that had gone dark, his face grim.
When he took the call, Frank was right beside him.
But Frank couldn't hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, unaware of what the person had said.
Seeing John's displeased expression, he asked with some suspicion, "Mr. John, what's wrong? Who was that on the phone?"
John snapped back to reality, looked up, and glared at Frank, shouting angrily, "It was all your lousy idea! If we can't find Professor Qiao, I won't let you off the hook!"
Frank, stunned by his shouting, was a bit slow to respond, "Mr. John, what are you talking about? What lousy idea? I don't understand."
"Hmph." John snorted angrily, his rage unabated, "Do you know who the leader of the Zone organization is?"
Thinking about how he had foolishly spent a billion only to be played for a fool made his blood boil!
