Fade held back his anger, glared at Hank, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Hank, you probably hold a position in Maritime Ocean Pharma. You'll be held responsible if things go on like this."
Hank raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
"Even if I'm responsible, it's not up to you to convict me. I'm a citizen of Micovia and it's up to the Micovian government to decide," Hank flicked his wrist and said arrogantly, "If there's nothing else, you two can go back."
Fade and Titas were irritated by Hank's attitude.
They glared daggers at Hank.
Titas, who had always been calm, was now under the pressure of hundreds of people's lives. He wanted to attack and force Hank to tell him the medicine's chemical formula.
Hank also felt the pair's terrifying auras. He creased his forehead and said coldly, "I'd advise you to not use violent methods. Otherwise, if the matter blows up, it will become a diplomatic scandal. Moreover, a distinguished guest I invited is arriving soon. You'd better not act rashly." "Distinguished guest?" As Fade and Titas pondered, the doorbell rang.
Hank stood up and opened the door in person. He welcomed a tall, grey-haired foreigner in a suit. The man was around fifty-years-old.
Fade did not recognize the foreigner, but Titas' face fell and he mumbled, "It's him?"
"Who is he?" Fade asked.
Titas explained, "He's Stephen, a member of the Micovian Embassy."
When Fade heard the position of the man, he instantly understood what was going on. Stephen might not hold a high rank, but he was a member of the Micovian Embassy, which represented Micovia.
His arrival complicated the situation.
At that moment, Stephen realized that Fade and Titas were in the suite. "Hank, who are they?" he asked, confused.
Hank smirked and introduced the two to Stephen and explained their purpose of being there. Then, he said while maintaining his smile, "Mr. Stephen, I am a citizen of Micovia. I hope to get the embassy's guarantee of my rights here."
"Of course!" Stephen nodded, then glanced at Fade and Titas. He said haughtily, "The citizens of Micovia are a part of our country no matter where they are in the world. We will ensure the safety and rights of their person and properties. We will not allow any individual or organization to coerce the citizens of our country into doing anything for any reason."
Obviously, that was directed at Fade and Titas.
Hank looked at the two of them coldly and said, "You two, I'm going to have lunch with Mr. Stephen. Please leave."
Titas was wound up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Stephen, Mr. Hank, hundreds of lives are dependant on the medicine's chemical formula. Even in terms of humanitarianism, you can't just sit back and not do anything."
Hank complained, "Sergeant Xu, if you keep pestering me, I'm going to report you."
Stephen said indifferently, "Our country has always valued humanitarianism. I will report to my country on this matter. Don't worry, Sergeant Xu, you can wait for our reply."
Stephen's response infuriated Titas and he was about to beat him.
At that instance, Titas's cell phone rang. He looked at the number in shock and he quickly answered the call.
