A few men in black suddenly appeared right after Colin left. The leader looked like a decent thirtyyear-old man. However, Nathan couldn't quite get used to the mustache under his nose.
The man bowed and greeted politely, “How do you do, Mr. Cross?”
Nathan, Penny, and Ava stared at them in surprise, wondering where they came from.
“Who are you?” Nathan asked.
The man smiled. “Where are my manners? I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shigo Masumi. We're here to meet Mr. Cross under the instructions of Mr. Yori.”
Nathan frowned. “Mr. Yori?”
Shigo smiled. “Mr. Yori is the chairman of Yori Corporation, Matsuo Yori.”
Penny paled upon his words. She had seen Matsuo in the papers.
Apparently, he was King of the Underworld in Jetroina. His word carried a lot of weight all around the world.
I wonder why Matsuo sent his men over.
Nathan narrowed his eyes. “How is Mizuki related to Mr. Yori?”
Shigo smiled. “She's Mr. Yori's daughter.”
Nathan nodded, immediately understanding the situation. “I don't even know Mr. Yori. Why did he send you here?”
Shigo explained, “Two reasons. The first one is about the World Peace Prize. Since Ms. Mizuki and Ms. Camden are both the top picks for this prize, Mr. Yori hopes that Ms. Mizuki will bag the prize.”
Nathan replied, “He hopes his daughter will bag the prize while I hope my wife gets it. We're just supporting our own family and hope that they get the honor and glory. But why is he telling me all these?”
Chuckling, Shigo said, “Mr. Yori hopes that Ms. Camden will forfeit the prize. That way, the World Peace Prize will belong to Ms. Mizuki.”
Penny frowned as Nathan sneered.
