DON'T BE RIDICULOUS, DAMN IT!"Silas immediately lunged forward with a completely red face, veins in his neck protruding."IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO SPOUT NONSENSE, BASTARD?!" he shouted in a voice trembling with rage.

"Everything went perfectly."He sipped the cognac, then laughed softly."In less than twenty-four hours, Morgan Steel & Trade lost almost all its suppliers. Major clients are starting to withdraw.
