Chapter 32: Coster’s Counteroffensive

Sikal was worried about Catherine’s current situation. When she suddenly heard the applause, her eyes followed the direction where the applause came from and looked to the front row.

“It’s him!” When he saw the person who came, goosebumps were all over Sikal’s skin.

“He is the person who asked me to deliver the contract to the mountain villa. It is him!”

Sikal felt her breathing stop abruptly.

This man at the villa had left a deep impression on her, especially the way he looked at her and the smile on his face, which made her shudder.

But the next moment, when her eyes looked at another man who was clapping his hands, she was so shocked that she almost lost her ability to think.

“It’s him!”

“It’s the man from last night, the bugger who left without saying goodbye this morning!”

Kota and Drizzt clapped their hands at the same time in silence.

They instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone knew about Drizzt.

The half-brother of the heir to Heavenly Punishment.

In Heavenly Punishment, his status and reputation were slightly lower than that of the current heir, Naka. It was because he had studied abroad since he was young and had just returned in the last two years.

But in just two years, Drizzt had used a large amount of money to gather a considerable amount of power. Even in Heavenly Punishment, he had a certain say.

However, in comparison, the other man, Kota, who was clapping his hands, made others even more curious.

“Who is he? I don’t know him. But since he can come to this banquet, he definitely isn’t someone to be trifled with.”

“Let’s wait and see first. I feel that no matter what happens this time, Ying is in danger.”

After seeing Kota’s appearance, some people whispered.

“What a show!”

“Wonderful!”

“Amazing!”

After Drizzt clapped, he also took a look at Kota, but he did not care about him.

With his status, there were too few people in New York that he cared about.

When he just returned home, he had already done his homework.

This was a good habit that Drizzt had learned when he was studying abroad. He had never fought a war that he was not confident of winning.

Through detailed research and extensive analysis, when he was still abroad two years ago, he had already studied the power relations and financial situation of the famous people in this city.

Not only that; he also had another habit.

Basically, all those who had dealt with Naka had something that he could use against them.

He used either money or women. If he did not have something that he could use against them, he would not completely trust them.

In other words, for every person he trusted, he had something that he could use against them.

With these evidence in hands, he could use them as a restriction or a threat. In short, they were all of great use!

After returning home, he did not rest for even a moment.

Even the rising forces in New York were all roped in by him.

For example, the time when Sikal met Drizzt at the mountain villa.

That day, he used a pinhole camera to record all the people at the table.

However, most people didn’t know about it.

If one day Drizzt needed to use these people, these recorded videos would become his weapon. Of course, it had to be said that this was Drizzt’s true strength.

However, the person in front of him was called Kota, whom Drizzt had never seen or heard of before. Therefore, he subconsciously thought that he was just a small fry.

“I came to the right party today.” After clapping, Drizzt stood up and directly sat on the table.

He pointed at Catherine and said, “This woman is the woman that I, Heavenly Punishment, have taken a fancy to.”

“No matter what, after she gets married, she will be part of Heavenly Punishment.”

“Her husband is my nephew and the first successor of Heavenly Punishment. In other words…”

Drizzt picked up a few dried fruits from the table and threw them into his mouth. He chewed while saying, “Are you scolding the future lady of Heavenly Punishment?”

The entire place was in a state of shock.

Drizzt had already made his words clear.

It didn’t matter if Catherine was telling the truth.

This marriage was a done deal.

Catherine would be the lady of Heavenly Punishment.

This title had more weight than the eldest daughter of the Ying Corporation.

Kota sat in the last row. His head tilted slightly as he watched Drizzt’s performance with interest.

‘As expected of the first person from Heavenly Punishment. He really knows how to act cool in order to impress Catherine.’

At first, he had wanted to step out. But since Drizzt was one step ahead of him, Kota did not mind letting him play first.

Let’s see what tricks he could play.

After Drizzt finished talking, he glanced at Catherine, who was still standing on the stage coldly. He thought to himself that he had to work harder.

Thinking of this, Drizzt’s bright smile turned sinister.

“You’re just a lackey, a butler, and a bodyguard. How dare you insult your boss’s granddaughter in front of so many people?”

“I can’t bear to watch such a scene.”

Drizzt rolled his eyes and looked at Moanke. Drizzt was rather handsome, but he always had an energy that made people feel uneasy.

“Mr. Moanke, it looks like you have to clean up your backyard.”

Moanke had imagined what could happen during the banquet.

But he had never expected that things would develop to this extent.

Drizzt’s intentions were already clear.

He wanted this eyesore, Coster, to get out of here quickly. The banquet had to go on, and Catherine was to belong to Heavenly Punishment.

“I refuse to accept this!” Coster suddenly shouted, interrupting Moanke’s thoughts.

“mr. Moanke, yes, I, Coster, am just a nobody. A word from a big shot can cause me to lose my job instantly. But I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people. After today, even if Ying had gotten what he wanted, what would others say about it?”

“In order to curry favor with Heavenly Punishment and become its lackey, you let the people who have followed you for over ten years suffer injustice!”

“Doesn’t Ying Corporation have any shame?”

“I, Coster, will stick with Ying Corporation. But I won’t take the baseless accusation even if I have to die.”

Coster was very clear in his mind.

His previous plan had been completely ruined.

Looking at Drizzt’s attitude, even if he was innocent, there was probably no good outcome for him.

Coster’s original plan was that Catherine should be tied up in a secret basement. Her eyes filled with fear as she waited for him to go back and play with her.

But he did not expect that Catherine would find out his plan.

Many people were like this. When faced with a desperate situation, they would always have some hope.

Thinking of this and following what he said just now, Coster grabbed a sharp knife from the adjacent dining table and pointed it to his throat.

“Huh?” At first, Drizzt thought that if he stepped in, this matter would be easily resolved.

But he did not expect that Coster would be so tactless.

“Does he really want to die?” Drizzt narrowed his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed by this lackey of Ying.

Under the light, Coster raised the knife in his hand.

Perhaps because he was emotional, the blade had already cut a bloody mark on his throat.

The rubberneckers in the surroundings cried out in surprise and stepped back.

For a moment, those people around him stepped back.

This also gave him a space for his acting.
