"So you were able to contain this new growing force from Country R for such a good period of time and yet suddenly things became out of control?"
"Yes President." Dmitri answered, trying hard to hide his fear.
"And why is that?" Rawlf was unsmiling now. The calmness in his voice is the very opposite of the wrath that he will surely put his Spartan force into.
"I can't-"
"I?" Rawlf cut out. "Since when did my Spartan force start to be a one man team?" "Forgive me President." Dmitri who was already on his knees trembled.
"Go on."
"We can't be sure about it yet, President. It's -"
"Can't be sure?" Rawlf once again cut Dmitri out. "Secretary Ryan as the head of my Athenian Force, tell me, since when did my Spartan Force become so weak that they can't even be sure of their own report."
Secretary Ryan fixes his eyeglass first before speaking. "I believe if that's truly the case President, then the yearly core strengthening of both forces should be held a month earlier."
That was actually the safest answer Secretary Ryan could give. He valued his camaraderie with Dmitri as both of them were the team leaders of Rawlf Sy's forces but his loyalty for Rawlf was beyond and more than anything else. He knew that Dmitri wouldn't take it personally as both were extremely loyal to Rawlf Sy.
The Athenians, to which Secretary Ryan leads, was Rawlf Sy's outer surface force that functioned mainly with dealings with the government, economy, international trades and hacking. While the Spartans Dmitri leads, is Rawlf Sy's underworld's force.
Actually there was another force but this force has been dormant for years now after Rawlf Sy successfully conquered the whole economy and politics of Country P. The fearsome people of that said force were spread around the globe having their best days in life and will only come back to Country P if their King is to summon them. But of course, their vacation wasn't only for naught, they were also around the globe collecting information, gaining strength, power and influence for their King.
If one is to dream, why not big enough, right? At least Rawlf Sy only dreamed of world domination and not the universal one.
