This question did not surprise Kota.
He had thought of an answer.
"Mr. Moanke, Catherine and I are already engaged. One day, you will know everything. What is the hurry at this moment?"
'Could it be that this kid still had some secret mission that he could not reveal?' Moanke thought to himself.
He wasn't sure about the outcome, but this Imperial Group was their last hope.
Since there was no turning back, there was only one way to go.
Thinking of this, Moanke let out a long sigh.
His attitude changed.
"Kota, you and Catherine may sit down."
After hearing this, the two of them sat opposite Moanke.
"Now, I might as well get straight to the point. Ying must not be destroyed in my hands. Now that we have made Heavenly Punishment our enemy, whether Ying can survive this calamity will depend on you."
Moanke's words surprised Catherine.
"Grandpa, it is going to be OK."
Moanke waved her hand and continued, "I am already old and know that you are very capable. Just that I treated you as a little girl and never let you do it before this."
"It seems that you've grown up now. It is up to you guys to decide your destiny from now on."
Ying Corporation's fate was now dependent on Kota.
Everything went according to Kota's plan.
"Mr. Moanke, please don't worry. As long as I am here, no one can do anything about Ying. But…",
"Just say it, we're already family."
"You have to delegate all your authority so my hands will not be tied."
Moanke had thought of this long ago. He knew he had little choice.
Hence, he nodded. "When I said it is up to you guys, I mean I will leave it entirely to you guys."
After saying that, he stood up from his chair and was about to enter the house.
Before he left, he said, "Come visit me when you guys are free."
Catherine felt a little sad upon hearing this. She had been following her grandfather since she was young.
Back then, he still did not look old. If it were not for what her grandpa said, she would not have realized that the once high-spirited head of Ying Corporation had become old.
Kota gently put his arm around her shoulder when he read Catherine's mind.
"How should I address you now? Catherine, miss, or wife?"
"Go to hell!"
The momentary sadness was interrupted by Kota's joke. The man beside her always surprised her.
Just as Kota was about to kiss her, his phone rang.
Both of them looked at the phone at the same time. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Kota?"
"And you are?"
"Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Glass. I'm the person in charge of Yunye Corporation. I called you because I have something to discuss with you. It is…"
Glass sounded humble and sincere on the other end of the phone, but Kota felt he was extremely long-winded.
Taking this opportunity, he turned on the microphone.
"Cut the crap and get to the point."
There were a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Catherine could not help but covered her mouth and laughed.
"Okay, okay. I call because I want to befriend you, Mr. Kota."
At this moment, Catherine looked at Kota and mouthed a "befriend you"?
Seeing Catherine's white teeth and alluring lips, Kota couldn't help but press his lips on hers.
"Mm…"
"Mr. Kota, Yunye was forced by Yan to attack Ying. It really had no choice. Now that you have made a marriage agreement with Ying's eldest granddaughter, I hope…"
"Mm…"
Catherine was immersed in the kisses. She put her hands around Kota's neck and kissed him.
"I hope you can help me mediate between Yunye and Ying."
Kota pulled away and said hurriedly, "Please continue…"
He then continued to kiss Catherine. Their lips locked together in fervent kisses.
On the other end of the phone, Yunye heard some weird sound, but he still decided to get down to business.
"Yunye will deposit twenty million dollar into your bank account every year as a token of appreciation."
After hearing this, Kota nuzzled away Catherine, who was hugging him tightly.
"Twenty million dollars? You—"
Before he could finish speaking, Catherine had sat on his lap and planted her lips on his again.
When there was no response from Kota, Glass panicked. Did he say something wrong?
He hurriedly explained, "I know that twenty million dollars are insignificant to Imperial Group. How about fifty million dollar? I hope you can accept that. After all, Yunye is just a small company."
"Mm… mm…"
Glass made up his mind and gritted his teeth, "To show our sincerity, Yunye will do whatever you ask in New York."
"Mm… but… hiss… tss…"
Glass started to panic. He regretted working with Yan.
Facing Kota's lukewarm response, he did not know what to do.
At this moment, Moanke or Catherine must be listening on the other end of the phone.
He was only half right.
He would not be able to figure out what was happening on the other end of the phone until the day he died.
There was nothing he could do. For the future of Yunye, he needed a reply from Kota.
At this moment, Kota had been keeping his mouth open, but it was locked in passionate kisses.
"Mr. Kota, to show our sincerity, Yunye is willing to bear all of Ying's losses during this period, just so that Yunye can reconcile with Ying."
Actually, Glass had no choice.
In his imagination, the cunning Moanke must also be listening to their conversation and pulling strings behind the scenes. So he had to offer something that Moanke liked.
After waiting for over ten seconds, he heard Kota speak.
"Hmm… mm… all right. I'll hang up first."
Du… du… du…
'He hung up?'
'Humph! That cunning Moanke!'
After kissing for another ten minutes, the two of them parted their lips.
At this moment, Catherine's face was blushed. She was panting as she leaned in Kota's arms.
Kota hugged her and felt thirsty.
"It's getting late. Shouldn't you be leaving?" Catherine asked.
Kota took a deep breath. "Mm, I'll return to the hotel. You rest well."
He was about to put Catherine down, but Catherine was still clinging to him.
Understood.
"So, are you going to go inside?"
"I… won't be back home tonight."
After hearing this, Kota lowered his head and looked at her.
"Do you know what happens when girls don't go home at night?"
Kota asked provocatively.
Catherine was shy, but she still looked into Kota's passionate eyes.
"I know… It will be very dangerous… but if… I can meet bad people… that would be even better…"
