A calm night.
Admiral Diaz didn't call Lance, and from that Lance knew the man would be even more greedy.
If Admiral Diaz were not a greedy man, then with a high degree of probability he would have had the thing sent back, instead of keeping it.
As long as he kept it, he was definitely no kind of moral Saint.
In fact, there are no moral Saints in this world; the more glamorous they look, the filthier their hearts are, in ways even more frightening than people imagine.
Some people's badness is only on the surface; maybe they bully others, rob, or do some shady things.
Some people's badness is in their bones, in places invisible to others.
Their badness has already evolved to the level of "evil."
What kind of man Admiral Diaz was, Lance wasn't quite sure yet, but he would find out.
The fact that he hadn't called to talk about this model showed that this money could still move him.
