"Back to the company?"
"No. I need to go to the hospital first."
Nate was stunned. "The hospital?"
"My father has a check-up today. I promised him I would go."
On the way to the hospital, assistant Nate gave Ned a detailed report on Kenji, including how Yamamoto Joichi had broken his leg.
Then Ned received a call from Sophie.
"This person is now openly challenging your company. He acquired three energy companies in one go and signed so many agreements…"
"I know."
"Aren't you worried at all?"
Ned was silent for a few seconds. "Sophie, have you ever seen a house built with sand?"
"What do you mean?"
"A house made of sand may look tall and grand, but it collapses the moment the wind blows." Ned explained, "Kenji's company is exactly that — a house built with sand."
Sophie didn't quite understand, but she didn't interrupt him.
