章 100: Chapter 100

“I think I’ll just—What d’you mean, you haven’t?”

“I am speaking the Queen’s English, aren’t I? I haven’t done what I came here to do. And it isn’t to take you to task for smashing the Lancia Stratos. Although I have a feeling I’m going to be appalled when I see the condition that car is in. From what Miss Travis let slip, I can’t imagine how you managed to survive.”
