At past eight in the evening, Yatada Haojie had arrived early at the bar reserved by Miyashita Naoyuki, but he didn't enter the private room and instead waited at the entrance with a gift in hand.
The gift bag was the same one he had taken to Aoyama Xiu Xin's house during the day, but now it contained some small artifacts like gold and jade items in addition to the cash.
This was clearly a lesson learned from the daytime experience.
Although he guessed that Miyashita Naoyuki's initiative to meet him was likely because he needed his help, and that he could make requests for help even without a gift, the more gifts one brings, the better received one is, especially since it was a rare chance to meet such a big shot, and he naturally had to cling tightly to his coattails.
He had been waiting until after nine o'clock, his feet sore, when he finally saw Miyashita Naoyuki swaggering over, dressed in a black shirt and carelessly smoking a cigarette.
