Astounded
The arrogance of these folks astounded him. He did, however, have a strategy, and when he executed it, he triumphed in a just manner. He found it hard to believe that they’d done it once more.
He made a concerted effort to control his fury as he went outside his home and took in the environment. The fact that he had to go through this again after attempting a diplomatic resolution was absurd. But it was becoming clear that being courteous wasn’t going to help. He had to think creatively, and the solution he came up with made him famous online.
