"Good, you never know who is listening." Seth, Ian's connection with the mafia, told them.
"Did you find anything on the company I sent you?" Ian asked in an eager tone as he leaned forward from his seat.
Cedric could feel how anxious Ian was for a positive answer. Clearly this was his assistant maximizing his connections.
"I did, and I can already tell you, they are bad news." Seth said over the phone.
"Bad news with you guys is usually worse than normal." Ian said with a frown as he scratched his chin. "Tell us." He urged his friend.
"The company name you sent me was newly registered, right? That's why you had a hard time finding things about them." Seth said over the phone.
"Yeah, Sapphire Mining is only a year old." Ian said with a nod.
Cedric had decided that it was best for all of them if Ian, and only Ian spoke for the duration of the call.
