บท 58: Even Absurd Conditions

The atmosphere in the cabin house changed as a light tension hung in the air.

Mr Andrés closed his eyes briefly and let out a sigh when he heard Silas' question. He felt like his worst fear finally came true.

During his first meeting with Silas, he tried his best to gain an advantage -no matter how small- in the conversation, but it seems like he failed.

Mr Andrés' fear is that he is in one of those situations where he would be asked to give the impossible as compensation.

Quickly, he thought of ways he could use to regain the advantage but unfortunately for him, there was none, and to add to his troubles, he also doesn't want to lose the chance of securing Silas' help.

Some seconds have passed since Silas asked Mr Andrés the question. Mr Andrés opened his eyes and looked at Silas intently, with a determined expression on his face.

Even though he has lost the advantage, he will make sure to secure Silas' help without selling out his country.
