(icyceo):
Kaiba gave a little huff of a derisive laugh at the first part of what Zigfried said, arms coming up to casually fold over his chest as he regarded the other. He wanted to give a rapid retort as per usual, but the pompous windbag didn’t know when to shut his trap it seemed. What little amusement he felt at that first statement, by the time Zigfried’s lips shut and stayed that way, the brunet’s gaze was narrowed. He couldn’t tell if that last statement had just been fact, or another subtle implication that he was a lazy CEO.
“First off, I believe everyone who knows me, knows who I really am. I may omit facts when I feel the need to, but I never have and never will pretend to be something I’m not.” Exactly who Zigfried thought he was and how he acted around others, Kaiba didn’t know and didn’t really care.
“I’ve been expanding plenty, just haven’t reached your country yet. My business in America is turning out quite lucrative though,” Kaiba added with a little smirk. He didn’t think Zigfried had a company in America yet.
A chuckle came from him, almost to ridicule the other for what he just said, as if he knew that facts told so otherwise and the other was lying greatly. Of course, he himself already believed that the other was lying -- he had seen that Kaiba wasn’t always the fair business man who people made him out to be. If only the others would see that as well, he himself would finally get some recognition.
“Do they now? I do not think so, I feel like you’re much more of a liar than you’re showing the others. Besides that, you’re also much more arrogant than they see... but oh well, everything will come with time.”
Raising an eyebrow at first, a smirk quickly followed as the other spoke of his own business which was expanding as well. Of course, it was something he already knew, but he wondered whether the other also knew of his own business expanding, and having made more deals with outsiders.
“So you have, but... have you also seen how I have been expending my business? Perhaps not... is it not weird that I am here while actually being German?”
