Just when the few troublemakers wanted to leave quietly, they were stopped by the captain of the special forces.
Looking helpless, he questioned, “Where do you think you're going? I'll have you know that the person you've offended was invited by the president personally.”
As expected, the president, Marcus Analheim, soon arrived at the International Medical Association. After learning the whole story, his expression fell. “Where's Barney? Did he leave as well?”
“Dr. Smith is still in the lab. He has no idea what happened.”
To that, Marcus said, “Let's go! We going to see Dr. Smith.”
The entire country is in a mess, and I just managed to get someone here to handle it, only to have these few b*stards piss them off.
Barney was still in the lab doing his research when Marcus arrived. It wasn't until half an hour later that he came out and saw that the president was there.
Before Barney could say anything, Marcus started, “I'm sorry, Dr. Smith. I've failed to keep an eye on my subordinates and caused all this to happen.”
Barney was stunned to hear that. “What happened?”
Marcus replied, “Arius and Sophie have both left in anger. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to help appease them.”
The only reason I invited Sophie here is that I know how good she is, and I need her expertise. And yet, something like this had to happen.
Barney inquired, “What actually happened?” I would need to know what happened first in order to help!
Soon, Marcus explained the situation again.
Barney's expression turned grim after he got the whole story. “We came here because you invited us, and we've been doing our best ever since we got here. Alas, this is the treatment we got?”
I was the one who brought them here, and now, they've been wronged while the president is here apologizing profusely.
Marcus said, “Dr. Smith, it is indeed our fault this time. How about this? I'll take those troublemakers over personally to apologize to them.”
Chanaeans have always been the most patriotic, and they won't allow anyone to insult their country like this.
“All right. I'll go over and take a look at what the situation is, but I can't guarantee how it will turn out,” came Barney's reply.
Sophie has quite the personality and has her own principles to live by.
Meanwhile, when Sophie and Arius returned to the hotel and saw Tristan's face, Arius couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Trying his best to rein in his laughter but failing at it, he asked, “Mr. Tristan, what did you do? How did you get beaten up like this?”
Tristan didn't expect that his sorry state would be seen by Arius. “Don't ask questions you're not supposed to. Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?”
“Are you seeing this, Sophie? I was just concerned about him, but he's acting so hostile toward me.”
Sophie muttered, “That's enough. Haven't you been tired these past few days? Why don't you go back to your room and rest?” She reckoned there was no rush to head back, and they would discuss the matter once they were well-rested.
It was only then that Tristan realized something was off.
“What happened? Didn't you just go to the International Medical Association? Why are you back so soon? Were you bullied?” Tristan inquired.
At the thought of someone giving his woman a hard time, a grim look spread across his face.
“I just met some trash who said some very unpleasant things,” came Sophie's reply. We came here to help, not to be insulted.
Tristan growled, “Who was it? Let me teach them a lesson!”
Whoever it was that upset her should get a good thrashing.
