Chapter 389: Bilateral Agreements and Commitments
Kasam brought food, drinks, and precious gifts, more importantly, he demonstrated enough sincerity.
Nami directed the bodyguards to set up the food and drinks, and then personally poured the wine.
"To the two of you, I offer a toast," Kasam said eagerly, firmly believing in the Huaxia cultural adage that when you accept someone’s generosity, you’re less likely to oppose them; thus he began with humility and genuine sincerity.
Ye Fan and Mengyao naturally shared a drink with Kasam, showing no reluctance. Besides, future business development couldn’t do without Kasam’s support, and if relations became too strained, it wouldn’t benefit anyone. More importantly, Kasam had already taken this step—whether as a gesture of recompense or apology—which was quite remarkable, so they received him with smiles.
"Ye Fan, may I ask you a question?" Kasam asked impatiently.
"Please, go ahead." Ye Fan replied indifferently.
"How did you know I would pay a visit?" This question had been puzzling Kasam.
"Anyone with clear vision would suspect that the sudden launch of the four missiles is intricately related to us. Such an event, Ba Country’s internal factions cannot handle, and fear that we are the ones who have intruded into the military base. Therefore, whether to maintain their status or keep us at a distance from the rebels or warlords, it is natural to take some action. With your wisdom, it is impossible not to understand this reasoning." Ye Fan explained fully, "The situation in your country is clear to outsiders. As the head of the government military faction, you surely consider many things, especially those missiles in the military base. If they are not under your control, they could become a disaster for you; it’s understandable to be anxious."
"Mr. Ye Fan, you speak frankly, hitting upon the key point," Kasam’s attitude grew increasingly cordial; from directly calling Ye Fan by name, he now used respectful terms, clearly showing his shift in stance.
At the same time, he was increasingly confident that the missile launch was related to Ye Fan or the Chu Group.
