Prince Charlie was now truly at a loss; he really hadn't expected that South Africa would take such decisive action.
The construction of the international airport, plus infrastructure, and three Boeing 77 planes...
That already amounted to ten billion.
Charlie now truly regretted showing off earlier. What was the point of shouting slogans? Now everyone was watching him because he had declared that this airport project was a sure thing.
Charlie now felt trapped.
He couldn't back out, or everyone would laugh at him. But if he competed, it had already exceeded ten billion, and America was a democratic country.
He spent over ten billion to acquire just a few Pills. How would he face the taxpayers back home...
