Chapter 431: Reiner - Buying Time
Reiner doubt that this was just all about money for King. The business had been booming since he set it up. King and the company were extremely wealthy, and all their income were not taxed by any government. King’s main problem is where to store and hide his wealth and not how to acquire more wealth.
“What do you really want?” Reiner asked as he slowly stood up from his seat.
There was something very suspicious about the details and the timing of the client’s request; however, Reiner knew that the request was real. King wouldn’t fake up something like this no matter what he had to gain from it. The request was real and that meant that if he didn’t do something about it a very talented assassin would be assigned to the job to finish it up quickly and hopefully quietly. It didn’t help that Natalia was walking around freely on this island where the agents were based.
“Nothing. As I said, I just thought that I should let you know. You are my son after all...” King replied like none of this concerned him at all.
“Turn down this request. I’ll pay you and the company whatever the client wants to pay,” Reiner demanded as he leaned across the table towards his father.
If it’s money, then...
“You know that I can’t do that. If I do, how will the company uphold its reputation. We will work on all requests from all clients as long as it follows our protocol,” King said resolutely.
Reiner sighed as his worst suspicion had been confirmed. It wasn’t about the money. King would die to live by his beliefs and his so called ‘protocols’.
“Protocols...” Reiner muttered as his mind raced to figure out a solution.
