Although a detainment in his lavish residence was akin to a prolonged staycation in paradise, Byron Thorne was extremely unhappy.
It was because he, the leader of the Third Evolution Consortium who worked hard to rally powerful global players with both wealth and power, had to sit out the Consortium at its most critical junction, leaving him with nothing to rejoice about.
All he could do the entire day was relax and do nothing.
All communication channels to the outside world were constantly being monitored, hence it made little sense to contact anyone, especially the Consortium members.
He was lounging by the pool in his backyard when his butler showed up with a report.
"Mr. Thorne, a group of visitors have come for a visit, led by Mr. Anderson Jones, the Secretary of State."
Anderson Jones?
Byron took off his sunglasses and frowned.
