Inside his mansion, Peter Lim was seated in his chair, looking down at his phone.
Secretary Lawrence hadn't replied to his message for a day.
He frowned and started to think about all the different possibilities.
Peter Lim then searched for news on Secretary Lawrence and there wasn't any.
"That's odd."
Secretary Lawrence had never taken so long to reply to his messages.
Something could have happened to him but not been publicized.
He opened another chat message thread, and it was the same.
The Shadow Lotus had not replied to him after what happened in his mansion.
A sense of being abandoned slowly crept into his mind.
"These bastards!" Peter Lim stood up and cursed.
They had promised him power and money.
He had delivered what they needed and now, they were nowhere to be seen.
A voice from outside the door suddenly disrupted his thoughts.
"Sir, get ready, we have to leave."
It was the voice of his new security detail.
