Chapter 125: He is the Kind of Person Who Stands Up for His Own

Hugo Hayes stared at the already-dialed phone screen, his palm unconsciously tightening around the phone.

The call had not connected yet.

A hoarse and authoritative voice came through.

An elder in a black Sun Yat-sen suit stood up at the head, his gaze hidden behind glasses landing on Hugo Hayes, "Cough, Marcus, come with me for a moment."

Hugo Hayes's expression sank, he hung up the call, and pursed his lips as he rose to his feet.

Inside a private office completely shielded from all external signals.

Hung on the background wall, was a world map.

Six solemn red flags were hanging on the snow-white walls to either side.

The elder slowly sat down, staring in the direction of Hugo Hayes, "Sit."

Hugo Hayes remained silent and sat down across from the elder, neither servile nor overbearing.

The elder's gaze sharpened, "About yesterday's incident, do you know how serious the consequences could be if your identity were exposed?"

"I know," Hugo Hayes lowered his eyes.
