21. The Birth of the Beast (II)

Siegfried Otto Lilin— an unremarkable young industrialist, technical genius, and master business strategist.

Besides these titles, should be added descriptors: despicable, cunning, reeking of evil to a forty mile radius, and a despicable businessman who should be damned to the deepest depths of hell.

Li Lin arrived with every means to solve the problem but also insisted the kingdom surrender a small portion of its interests as a reward to him.

A reasonable move as the nature of a businessman is to seek profits - craving profit is as natural as breathing and eating. But acting as philanthropists is not in their nature.

A businessman can be without a homeland, without a king, without faith, without parents or family, without any moral or legal principles... even without food or water, but he can never be without a profit.
