After Nathan left, Kelly sat in her office chair, staring blankly ahead.
On her desk was a device similar to a Newton's cradle, emitting a quiet clicking sound as it swung back and forth.
Kelly liked to use this gadget to concentrate, allowing her to work more efficiently when dealing with complex cases.
However, this time her focus was disrupted by the ringing phone.
She glanced at the number, and her expression shifted slightly.
Still, she picked up the phone.
"SIR."
"Kelly, yesterday's operation in Illiguo was a complete failure. Mr. Campbell is very disappointed; he invested too much in setting this up."
The voice of Deputy Director Pence came through the phone.
Pence was in charge of global special operations and was Kelly's immediate superior.
As the executor of the Elder Council, Campbell used his extensive connections to pressure the military and Wood Energy, cutting off all of Song Heping's business sources in Illiguo.
