K414 mentions that it's likely safer to hire him now than to just wait around for Derry to hire him considering that there might be some people out there with the money to want him dead. It's one of the classic threats that he's heard of before, but the candidate believes that it's a bit more sincere than malicious. "Oh trust me K414," Derry starts, "I don't really have to worry about people coming for my head. Plenty have tried before, that's certain. Few have made it to me. Clearly, none have succeeded yet. Besides, whatever they're offering, I can offer double, I guarantee it. Trust me when I say there aren't many out there as rich as I. Don't mean to boast, of course."
K414 makes his way over towards the door to Derry's trailer and gives him his farewell, to which the candidate waves back and replies, "I look forward to seeing you and Ise soon," before the android closes the door behind him and taking off. Derry places his sunglasses over his eyes and presses a single button before they make some sort of ringing noise. A voice asks, "Yeah, boss?" "Please begin cleaning up my office in the Central City Snake Eyes Casino, I'm expecting guests to arrive in one hundred hours." He shuts the call off and begins pacing around the tralier, his mind now focused on how things would play out when he, K414, and Ise would meet again.

Mister Steel: Chomei's estate is vast, and marriage into the family can only benefit Marimba with access to cattle, pasture land, and much grain to feed his armies.
