Fortunately, Gotten managed to suppress the urge to curse and forced a smile, explaining diplomatically.
"Lord Kogis, you really have a good eye, Miss Seven truly is gifted in both beauty and intellect. However, this isn't something I can decide on my own. Allow me to report back to the Clan Leader and have him make the final decision!"
Seeing Gotten trying to play it nice, Kogis's eyes shifted as he replied with a grin.
"Oh, Lord Gotten! The matter of the final payment is also quite thorny, it's not something I alone can decide. We should take our time to think it through!"
"Lord Kogis, don't be like that! Our Shenji Group really didn't make any profit on this project, and we're now waiting for the final payment just to stay alive."
"I want to help you, but my hands are tied. Your Shenji Technology Group is such a big company, surely you're not lacking in funds, hang in there! As soon as the funding is approved, you'll be the first to know."
