The man in suit wobbled his wineglass.
"Walten. Your men failed?"
The middle-aged man who smashed his phone nodded.
"Blast it! How the hell did Tristan manage to spot my men so quickly?"
The man in suit gulped down his wine. "Apparently, we've underestimated Tristan's hold of Tekla City and need to re-evaluate the situation. Walten, your man didn't die in vain. At least they brought more of Tristan's shadowed forces into the light."
"The Evil of North Sea was not from the West Province," said another man in the room. "His forces will not affect us here. Tristan only got the Titan Union to support him, and I don't believe they got Infonet big enough to find out about Walten's men so easily. I know those guys to be cautious."
