Chapter 1194. Countering (4)
Bam!
The Iemoto’s smartphone landed on the wooden table with a little more force than usual. The dignified antique table shuddered noticeably.
After putting the phone down as if he was tossing it away, the Iemoto’s hand swished in the air a couple of times. But then, he gripped the teacup containing steaming hot tea.
The Iemoto downed the tea in one go before putting it down, his hand noticeably calmer now.
“Arrogant bastard!”
The Iemoto’s expression crumpled hideously.
The people he liked the most were those who knew their place and obediently followed orders. And those he disliked the most were morons who got too full of themselves on the back of their insignificant talents.
However, the group the Iemoto trusted the most, and enjoyed exploiting the most, was the latter, not the former.
The ‘humanness’ could put people’s minds at ease, but ‘abilities’ could satiate people’s hunger. And the Iemoto was someone who placed far greater importance on treasures and sustenance than peace of mind.
Even the tea he just drank like water was a luxury item costing as much as several months’ worth of salary for most people.
The reason he could climb to a position where drinking such tea was only par for the course was because he didn’t excessively believe in himself. After all, the Iemoto was not a god. He couldn’t be right all the time.
He always considered the possibility of someone worse than him thinking of a more correct answer than him. And that was his secret for climbing this precipitous cliff to reach the top.
