France, Paris.
In a café in the Shangri-La Hotel, Yang Yi sat at a coffee table, resting his chin on his left hand and leaning on the sofa of the café seat.
Yang Yi was waiting to meet Eric Forland.
Eric Forland, nicknamed "Christmas Tree," was a seller of high-end spy equipment. Mike had been a regular customer of his, and the Organization of Water now used most of its espionage gear purchased from him, but since Mike's death, Yang Yi had to personally get in touch with him.
This was the first face-to-face meeting between Yang Yi and Eric, so on the phone, having agreed on a meeting place with Eric, Yang Yi had to use something as a token for their meeting, which was the watch on his wrist.
To keep the watch visible at all times, Yang Yi had to keep propping up his chin with his left hand.
