“I wouldn’t mind sacrificing for my country if you’re my target.”
Zoe Garcia showed a faint smile before gesturing, leading Harvey York into the box that had been prepared ahead of time.
Harvey sat down and picked up a teacup before returning the smile.
“I’m a good man, Maiden Garcia. That’s a little disrespectful, don’t you think?
“The honey trap won’t work.”
“Whether it’ll work or not depends on your attitude,” replied Zoe.
“My attitude?”
Harvey showed a playful look
“So, it won’t be easy for me to have a meal here?
This is obviously a trap for me…
“So, what do you want from me exactly?
“There’s no need to hold anything back. Why don’t you tell me everything instead?”
Zoe heaved a sigh with a helpless expression on her face.
“Don’t you realize why I brought you here?
“You set me up on the very first day, breaking me off from the other Indians. They’ve been doubting and isolating me since then!
“And now, after fifteen straight losses, all of them are directing their anger toward me!
“They’re all saying I ruined India, and you already bought me off!
“I know they’re all just using me to vent. The same goes for Master Garcia..
“But this isn’t even my fault in the first place!
Then, Zoe held Harvey’s hand with tears beading around her eyes.
“Aren’t you supposed to take responsibility for this?!
“Aren’t you supposed to take care of me?!”
Harvey showed a faint smile.
“I see. You’re telling me that a few words were enough to cause you this much distress?
“We work for different people, so I don’t think I can give you a statement about this.
“Of course, I can still think of a way to help for the sake of the free meal you got me, Maiden Garcia.
“If you get away from India and join Country H along with the Martial Hall, everything I said the other day will still be in effect!
“One billion and five hundred million dollars worth of annual salaries and forty percent shares. You can’t get this treatment even if you fight for eight different lifetimes in India!
“What do you say?”
Zoe let out another long sigh.
“I really do want to join you. I trust that you never go back on your word.
Zoe showed a tender expression on her face.
“That said, you should know I can’t just do whatever I want!
“I can join you without any hesitation. The Indians can come for me however they want! You’re the man who killed off Cody Garcia! It’ll be easy for you to protect a weak woman like me.
“But my family still lives in India.
“If I work under you, the Indians will surely eliminate them.
“I can’t afford to be that selfish. I can only thank you for your generosity!”
Zoe showed a helpless look on her face. She did seem like she felt bad for not being able to join Harvey.
Harvey calmly smiled.
“If that were the case, then what’s the purpose of this meal?”
