As night fell and the city lights came on, Tokyo City was once again enveloped in brilliant neon, bustling and lively.
James had booked a place at the Heaven Club.
When Xiu Xin was led to the private room by a waiter, James and William were already waiting inside.
"Mr. Aoyama." James, who was talking with William, quickly stood up to greet Xiu Xin as he entered.
Xiu Xin nodded slightly, his gaze falling on William. This was their first meeting; he had previously only known the man through James's descriptions.
He looked to be in his forties, with a slim build, fair skin, and a gentle, scholarly demeanor. Judging by his appearance, calling him a 'scholarly general' was indeed appropriate.
Similarly, this was William's first time meeting the young official renowned in Japan for corrupting the stationed American forces. He appeared so young, extremely young, yet remarkable and impressive.
"General William, I've long heard of you." Xiu Xin smiled, stepping forward to shake hands.
