Gonda did not like unknown numbers anymore.
There was a time when unknown numbers felt ordinary. Now every unknown number felt dangerous.
He looked at the phone for a few seconds before answering.
For one moment, he thought it might be the old man from Adam's side, the voice that came through Bruno and pulled his gang into a place where one wrong step could kill him.
But when the call connected, the voice was different.
It was the old man from World Zone.
"Gonda," the old man said.
Gonda's grip tightened around the phone.
"Sir," he answered carefully.
The old man did not waste time.
"I heard what you did."
Gonda's face became still.
He knew what the old man was talking about. Rust Gate had already been split, and he had stepped in front of everyone. He had killed the man World Zone was pushing forward and declared Tobin's side as his ally.
There was no way to hide that now.
"Then you must have heard why I did it," Gonda said.
