Mike rolled his eyes.
“Even so, they aren’t serving any tea either, are they?” Thirsty, Mike grumbled while spreading his arms as he stared at the empty coffee table.
When he was free to leave the X Department building, he ran out to meet Alexander. Mike also forgot to drink water in the car with Alexander because he was busy asking Alexander questions.
Mike glanced around and saw a small water dispenser tucked away in the corner of the room. He got up, grabbed a disposable cup to fill it, and asked, “Do you want some?”
Alexander shook his head slightly as he sat still with his arms crossed.
“These people are so rude! So what if it’s the embassy? It’s still within our country, isn’t it? What a bunch of arrogant *ssholes!” Mike complained as he drank his water.
At that moment, footsteps sounded from outside. Alexander looked over and saw two men showing up at the doorway, one after another.
The first man had a cold and intense expression. After throwing Alexander and Mike a deep look, he stepped aside. The second man then slowly entered, supporting himself with a cane.
He did not look elderly, so his need for a cane indicated leg or foot issues. He looked much friendlier and had a smile compared to the first person. “Sorry, I got caught up with something.”
He was not speaking Yudonian but a strange-sounding language.
Puzzled, Mike did not understand what he was saying and looked toward Alexander.
