I Can See The World’s Desires

Chapter 38: The Actions Of The Various Forces

“That’s it? The second young master of Heavenly Punishment just said a few harsh words and left?”

“What else do you want? This Kota isn’t someone Drizzt can mess with. He’ll definitely go back and report to the elders in his family.”

Imperial Group? Just how terrifying was it? Just Kota alone was enough to cause such chaos in New York.

Despite the feuds of the big families, the unspeakable things that Kota said when he first came out were enough to cause an earthquake in New York.

By the time everyone was gone, Kota and Catherine were ready to leave.

After ordering his men to dispose of Coster’s body, the two walked to the backstage. Kota subconsciously looked for Sikal, but there was no sign of her.

This woman was interesting.

Immediately after, everyone who left the scene began to contact their connections in Washington, asking for all the information about Imperial Group.

This was within Kota’s expectations, but they could find nothing.

After all, this was a figment of his imagination. However, the more these people could not find any relevant information, the more they would be afraid of his background.

That was because only when one was strong enough would one be unusually mysterious.

And Kota wanted to take advantage of the time when no one dared to act rashly to build up his own power.

His actual goal was to build the Imperial Group that was truly powerful to the point where no one dared to bully him.

The incident at Ying Corporation’s cocktail party had already become the hottest topic in New York today.

Rumors were flying around, becoming a hot topic of discussion among the ordinary people.

No one knew what exactly happened, only two things were known.

First, the eldest daughter of Ying Corporation denounced the marriage engagement in public, which essentially was a slap in Heavenly Punishment’s face.

Second, a young man named Kota from Washington was the mastermind of all this.

Especially the Yan and Yunye, who had always been against Ying Corporation, immediately held an emergency meeting after receiving the news.

The head of the Yan Group was Fael.

He had followed his father into business since he was young. After going through the ups and downs of various eras, he finally took over and used 15 years to build Yan Group into a force to be reckoned with in New York.

At this moment, he looked at the person-in-charge of every business in his family with a melancholic expression.

“I am sure you all have heard it; the person who died at Ying Corporation’s cocktail party was none other than Atkins, whom we planted in Ying. Although he betrayed us, he was one of us after all.”

The indifferent face of everyone was expected, as no one would give a damn to such a lowly lackey.

But he still had to mention it as the head of the corporation.

Hence, he continued. “Of course, the major topic of this meeting is about Kota, a young man who turned up at the banquet.”

This aroused the interest of the higher-ups of Yan Group. They all exchanged a look with each other.

In fact, the whole of New York knew very well that the Yan and Yunye working together to compete with Ying was a sure thing. But because of the marriage alliance between Heavenly Punishment and Ying, they had to reformulate their plans.

Catherine’s annulment had brought about a new opportunity.

Ying was supposed to be brought down within a few months and had miraculously survived with the intervention of an unknown man.

Who was Imperial Group anyway?

“Mr. Fael, we have contacted our connections in Washington, but no one has heard of Imperial Group.”

“Whatever. We should take this opportunity to cooperate with Heavenly Punishment. After all, this cocktail party has brought embarrassment to Heavenly Punishment.”

“Cooperate? Do you think Heavenly Punishment lacks this bit of resources from us?”

“The way I see it; it’s a good time to reconcile with Ying now.”

Everyone spoke their mind. They were afraid of this person who had stirred up New York as soon as he appeared.

Fael frowned as he had got none constructive suggestions.

At this moment, at the end of the round table in the meeting room, a young man adjusted his glasses and stood up.

“I have an idea. We can hire an assassin.”

“Are you crazy? We still don’t know who is behind him. If something goes wrong, wouldn’t we be digging our own grave?”

Fael put away his worried expression and slammed the table hard. “Shut up, all of you!”

Everyone shut up at once.

“Cheng, you may continue.”

The young man had a sly smile on his face.

“It might be risky, but it works in Yan’s best interest.”

“As Mr. Fael said, Ying has got breathing space and will definitely come for Yan Group.”

“Instead of being overly cautious and intimidated by an unknown character called Kota, it is better to get rid of him at once.”

Everyone thought it made sense.

Cheng got the response he wanted and continued. “If Kota is murdered in New York, everyone will think that it was Heavenly Punishment who did it. Heavenly Punishment and Imperial group will fight each other. By diverting everyone’s attention, we can take the opportunity to annex Ying.”

“The better outcome will be for Heavenly Punishment to lose the fight and it will be our chance to break up Heavenly Punishment.”

This young man had impressed Fael with just a few words.

Although Cheng was only his distant nephew and was only responsible for some unimportant businesses in the group, he had impressed Fael with his shrewdness.

First, this plan would put Yan on an unassailable footing.

Second, there was a high possibility of Yan becoming the top corporation in New York.

After thinking about it, Fael stood up and said to Cheng, “I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Cheng nodded in front of the elders, his smug expression disgusting them.

“Brother, are you really not going to target Ying first?”

In Naka’s office, the agitated Drizzt provoked his brother.

“It’s obvious that Ying doesn’t take you seriously at all.”

Naka was well aware of Drizzt’s trick; he was just fanning the flames. His little tricks were nothing to be afraid of.

Naka put his feet on the desk, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly.

“It’s impossible for Ying to rise in a short period.”

“Getting rid of them in New York is as easy as crushing an ant.”

“But I’ve never heard of Imperial Group, though.”

As the successor of the family, he was naturally involved in a lot of business dealings with Washington.

He had interacted with all the major corporations in Washington, but he had never heard of someone by the surname of Smith.

During the meeting, the elders’ opinion was to find out who Imperial Group was first. They would resort to covert operation if they couldn’t do it openly.

“Drizzt, use all your resources to investigate Imperial Group.”

“Brother, what about Catherine?”

“She’s just a plaything. Eventually, she’ll be under my son’s control.”

“It is your call, Brother.”

After saying that, Drizzt left the office with a satisfied answer.

He had provoked Naka and even the entire Heavenly Punishment to shift their attention to Kota.

Then, they would use Kota to weaken his brother’s influence in the family. With him as an insider, Naka would definitely lose the family’s trust.

However, in Naka’s eyes, these thoughts of Drizzt were just child’s play.

He was very clear that his younger brother had been itching for his position since he was young. He did not give a damn about Catherine’s annulment. Instead, he could use this opportunity to expose Drizzt’s rebellion in the family, then no one could challenge his position again.

The two brothers had their own axes to grind.
