Chapter 34: Turning The Tide
“It’s not your turn yet. Be quiet.”
Drizzt raised his eyebrows at hearing Kota’s words.
It was undeniable that he was angry.
In fact, whether it was Ying or Coster, they were just trivial matters in Drizzt’s eyes.
The one he really fancied was Catherine, the woman who might become his future niece-in-law.
So when he was watching the show just now, he was actually very calm.
It was not until Coster said that Catherine might not be innocent anymore that Chen Wenyang really became serious.
He was very curious. Since Kota had already taken advantage of Catherine, why didn’t he run away?
Instead, he dared to appear at the cocktail party. Who was he and what was his purpose?
At the same time, Kota had silenced everyone in the hall with just a sentence.
Who dared to berate the younger brother of the leader of Heavenly Punishment in New York?
This kind of thing had never been heard of by any of the guests present.
The scary thing was that Drizzt did not burst out immediately in the face of Kota’s berating. Instead, he stood on the spot with a gloomy expression, thinking about something.
Kota’s gaze once again focused on Coster.
The last time he saw Coster was at the entrance of the hotel.
It was only after they met that Chu Wen saw all of Li Gui’s wish lists and knew his plans. He also knew that his actual name was not Coster.
His name was Atkins.
He was a traitor that Yan had planted in Ying over ten years ago.
This time, with the increase in the probability of Kota getting information about other people’s thinking, Kota knew every thought of Coster.
From the initial quibbling, to the later acting, until now, he had made the exposes to save his *ass, Kota knew everything.
“Drizzt, I have to say, I really underestimated you in the past,” Kota said as he walked towards him.
“I feel you are a lackey in Ying. Moanke really has poor judgement.”
“You should go to Oscar. In that kind of place, you can definitely do well because your acting is so good.”
After Kota said this, he had already come in front of Coster.
He smiled at the tip of the knife in Coster’s hand.
As soon as Coster lost control, that sharp blade would thrust into his chest.
“Are you joking?” Coster grinned with a fake smile. “I also admire you. You defiled the lady. Not only did you not run away, but you even sat in the banquet hall openly. If you hadn’t clapped your hands just now, I wouldn’t have even seen you.”
Kota chuckled and turned to look at Catherine.
He gave Catherine a look of assurance.
Catherine instantly got the message.
His eyes seemed to say, “Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me.”.
But as she got the message, her worries did not diminish.
Because Catherine knew more deeply that Kota had no evidence to prove that Coster had tried to kidnap her.
At the same time, she did not know how Kota was going to end things.
Kota retracted his gaze from the people of Ying Corporation. A bald, fat man attracted his attention.
“Narkat, the actual owner of New York Dream Group.”
“You’re very lecherous. You keep two C-listed artistes as mistresses. At the same time, you have an adopted daughter abroad.”
“Others are envious of your carefree and romantic life, but no one knows that the high interest loans you took is weighing you down so much that you are suffocating.”
After saying this, the bald fat man who was sitting at the round table watching the show suddenly had a drastic change in expression.
His wife sitting next to him squinted.
Regarding the loan and the bank interest, Kota was absolutely right.
She had long heard about her husband keeping mistresses, but she had never exposed him.
But she knew nothing about the so-called adopted daughter abroad.
“Nonsense!”
The bald fat man stood up abruptly. But his wife ordered him, “Sit down.”
When the fatty heard this, he immediately sat down with his head drooping.
Chu Wen did not stop when he saw this scene.
He randomly picked a middle-aged, beautiful woman who looked like she was in her forties and had taken good care of herself.
“Xiang Wenya, a famous socialite in New York.”
“How have you been recently?”
“Have you been eyeing some man again? Do you want to hang out with him and get some money from his next project?”
The middle-aged woman was expressionless, but she clenched her fingers with a jade-green ring tighter and tighter.
“Ensquare, maybe you don’t know me, but I know you very well.” Kota’s gaze was randomly fixed on a young man.
“You have a long-term indecent relationship with the three middle-aged women here. Do you need me to tell you about what you all did in private?”
The young man panicked and his gaze instantly turned towards the bald fat man’s wife.
The wife was also a hot-tempered person. She frowned and scolded, “Why are you looking at me?”
The young man immediately retracted his gaze, but it was already too late.
The bald fatty looked at his wife in shock and his lips trembled, “So you… you too…”
In three minutes, wherever Kota looked, no one dared to raise their heads.
His clear voice kept calling out to the guests present.
Every sentence, every word was like a needle, piercing into the hearts of these upper-class people.
New York’s social circle was actually not big.
There were only so many rich people and famous people.
Everyone had heard of what Kota said before, just that they were not so sure.
But they knew it clearly in their hearts that what Kota said were all the secrets that they had hidden in their hearts, or the darkest thoughts, or the wishes that they did not want others to know.
And it was absolutely true.
For a full three minutes, the guests present were all covered in cold sweat.
Who exactly was this young man?
Why did he know everyone present so well, so thoroughly?
“What’s going on? How did he know about this? I clearly told you not to tell anyone.”
“Bullsh*t, you better speak properly. I also had a part in those dirty things you did. Why would I tell others?”
“Then how did he know?”
Such a conversation was happening in every corner of the banquet hall.
At the same time, Drizzt’s gaze towards Kota had unknowingly changed.
“Scary. Who is he?”
“When did such a person appear in New York?”
“At least half of the information he got is something I don’t know!”
Drizzt’s face darkened.
In the depths of his heart, he was afraid of Kota.
This man was a little too terrifying.
Was he an enemy or a friend?
At the same time, Kota turned around with a smile and once again looked at the cold sweat covered Coster.
“As for whether the secrets I casually threw out were true or false, all of you know in your hearts.”
“Now, do you know who I am?”
Cold sweat broke out on Drizzt’s forehead. He could never imagine that the man whom he looked down upon when he clapped with him just now actually had such a detailed intelligence network.
Almost none of the people present were innocent.
If reporters outside learned about what happened today and everything that Kota said, it would probably cause a huge uproar.
This person was too terrifying.
“Who are you?”
Drizzt tried his best to maintain his identity as a descendant of Heavenly Punishment, but the trembling of his voice gave him away.
“You bunch of ignorant fools.”
Chu Wen chuckled.
“In that case, let me briefly introduce myself.”
“My name is Kota Smith. I’m from Washington’s Imperial Group.”
When he said this, Kota knew in his heart that from today onwards, everything would be slowly established.
A fictional force that did not exist yet, and that everyone would fear in the future, would soon appear in New York.
That was Washington’s Imperial Group.
New York and Washington did business frequently.
If the businessmen present did not have a complete understanding, then for those socialites, Imperial Group sounded even more confusing to them.
“Imperial Group?”
“I’ve never heard of it. If Washington has such a handsome young man, I would have known.”
Just as the socialites under the stage were whispering among themselves, those upper-class people began to worry.
After all, the secret information that Kota mentioned was the dark side that they were trying their best to hide.
If there was not a powerful force working for him, it would be extremely difficult to dig up all this information.
Drizzt was deep in thought at this moment, his eyes constantly sizing up Kota.
Heavenly Punishment had a lot of business dealings in Washington. So they knew Washington like the back of their hands.
But they had never heard of Imperial Group, which had just exposed the dirty linen of the elite New Yorker in public.
This contradictory fact caused the hall to fall into a momentary silence.
And in the silence, a conjecture that terrified everyone grew.
Could it be that Imperial Group was a hidden power in Washington?
The rich business people in the world were not really that rich after all.
Just like the Rothschild family controlled the Federal Reserve and the political and financial affairs of many countries.
But the family strictly asked its members to keep their secrets for centuries.
No one was allowed to reveal their identity.
No one was allowed to engage in high-profile industries such as entertainment.
There were also many strict requirements.
There were also the little-known “Illuminati”, whose influence reached an unimaginable extent.
Could it be that this Kota…
If it was as they had guessed, then Imperial Group was definitely a force that they collectively would not dare to mess with.
At this moment, Kota looked at the thoughts that were constantly rolling over everyone’s heads.
He knew his plan had succeeded.
Except for Drizzt, who was confident in his information network.
If there really was some secret force that had existed in Washington for generations, he should have more or less heard of it.
Even if it was just a rumor.
Kota saw Drizzt’s thoughts at this moment, so he upped the ante.
He also looked straight at Drizzt and said directly, “Last year, you lost hundreds of millions of dollars in your investment in Washington. Let me remind you that Washington is not a place where you can do whatever you want.”
Drizzt, who had been suspecting him, could not help but take a step back when he heard what Kota said.
Last year, he had privately invested a project. He had wanted to use the success of this project to raise his status in the family and gave his brother a middle finger.
However, he did not expect the project to stall before it was even a quarter completed.
This had also caused him to lose hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, in order to ensure that his reputation would not continue to be damaged, Heavenly Punishment had used all kinds of resources to forcefully suppress this matter.
He could not believe that Kota had learned about this.
Everyone looked at him. Drizzt, who did not respond, seemed to have tacitly admitted to it.
This reaction of his further convinced everyone that Imperial Group was a force that they absolutely could not mess with.
