[ something in that phrasing visibly pisses kaiser off, based off of the way that his expression contorts. if it wasn't obvious, he'll make it clear enough right after— ]

Don't get things wrong. You might have started this, but I'm the one who says when it ends, you piece of shit master. [ when noa's done with kaiser? wrong! when kaiser is done with noa. ] Building the path for others to overtake you on is just the natural course of things, don't get all prideful about something like this.

[ kaiser will not be letting that happen to himself, though. kaiser wants to go the toni kroos route of transferring from b*yern m*nich to re*l m*drid, earning himself the ire of germany in the process, and then retiring at his peak so nobody can say they beat him at his best. he is NOT going to be paving the way, thanks very much; if he's ray dark's special investment, then he's going to pay out when his value is maxed out and not feel like he owes the world of football a single thing.

at least, that's what kaiser thinks in the moment. what he'll actually do? who knows — certainly not kaiser himself. ]

Or what, do you want me to kiss your ass over it?
