"Your Excellency, Supreme Leader, but... but millions of lives," he said with a choked voice, trying to play the tragic role once more.
However, the moment he uttered the word "lives," the last bit of patience in Victor's eyes vanished completely!
With no warning, Victor grabbed the heavy crystal ashtray beside him—the very one he had been using while smoking—and swung his arm fiercely!
A deep whooshing sound sliced through the air!
"Bang—!!!"
The ashtray, with incredible force and precision, slammed into the table in front of Mendoza! It landed less than ten centimeters from his fingers!
The expensive mahogany tabletop instantly showed a noticeable dent. Broken ashes and water splashed everywhere, with some droplets even landing on Mendoza's terrified, contorted face.
The loud noise and sudden violence startled everyone.
Mendoza was scared out of his wits, letting out a short scream. He jerked back as if scalded, nearly toppling his chair.
