Aman couldn’t help but notice that by sparing his life, Jagoan was showing a touch of benevolence in the midst of all this malevolence.

Jagoan acknowledged Aman’s words with an approving nod and a smile on his face. “You know, Mr. Ramovich embodies the essence of Taoism, as we Chinese say. In this society, very few truly understand the principles of Taoism.”

Jagoan checked his watch and turned to Wesley. “Wesley, it’s getting light outside, and people are starting to arrive. Contact the ship, then head upstairs and have a serious talk with our associates. After that, set sail and get them out of the United States.”
