Gao Yi didn't want Green to know all his cards.
Adults playing around in the Underworld, dealing with one of its most unpredictable groups—how could Gao Yi not be extra cautious? How could he naively show his hand right as they started dealing with each other?
So, when Gao Yi and his contacts were trading information, he made sure Green stepped out for a bit.
Now that the negotiations were nearly done, Green could be let in.
After inviting Green into the room, Gao Yi asked casually, "So, does the KGB have a reputation for being unreliable?"
He was just curious, so he asked Green, an expert in the field.
Green frowned slightly and replied, "Why do you ask? Is there a problem with the KGB?"
"It's not exactly a problem, uh, it's just that the middleman doesn't quite trust the KGB to pay the finder's fee, so he wants it to be included in our asking price."
Green understood and then said calmly, "It's not about the KGB having a reputation problem."
"Oh?"
