Carl wasn't angry when he saw how proud Yuri was. If anything, the former felt like laughing aloud.
Good. The more arrogant you are, the more likely you will help me accomplish the mission.
That thought made Carl's day that there was a spark in his eyes.
“It's been so long since we last saw one another, but I still can't hide anything from you,” said Carl to butter Yuri up, “If that's the case, then I won't hide the truth anymore. I'd like to ask you to help me destroy a man. He is Larry Norton, the president of Norton Corporation.”
“Larry Norton... From what I heard, this man is not a simple enemy.”
Yuri was proud, but that didn't mean that he was dumb.
On the contrary, his intelligence and ability to read other's expressions were the reason he got to where he was.
“Norton Corporation is the biggest corporate entity in Marsingfill, and having almost complete control over the company is just one of Larry's advantages. He also has a good rapport with the underworld You've really overestimated me when you say that it is just slightly troublesome.”
F*ck, this arrogant punk knows so much. Carl still wore a polite grin on his face.
“Norton Corporation might be powerful in Marsingfill, but you are not a citizen of the city. You live in J Nation, and from what I have learned, you will be heading back over soon.
“Yes, this is an arduous task, but you will return to your country, regardless of whether the mission is carried out successfully. Larry might be powerful, but even he can't go all the way over to J Nation and fight a formidable foe like the organization you work for. The notoriety of your organization is famous globally, and he is not stupid enough to go after you guys.”
Every word made sense, and Carl spoke so politely and firmly that Yuri's ego was slowly chipping his rationality away.
“Well, you're right about that. We have always thought little of all Chanaeans, and the president of a puny corporation means nothing to us.”
Yuri lifted his chin proudly as he spoke, and his voice was filled with discrimination.
