Please sit, Li Pan," said the monk as he slid open a side door, revealing the person who had already been waiting on the other side.
"I am deeply grateful for this meeting. My name is Toudou Uemon."
This was a tall man, roughly one meter ninety, bulging with muscles under his formal attire. Li Pan could tell at a glance that the man likely had a level four military prosthesis, and the business card handed to him read 'President of Toudou Construction Industrial Co., Ltd.'
Li Pan checked the information provided by Kotaro, noting that Toudou Construction's upstream was Kinoshita Trading, which in turn was a capital-injecting company of the Hashiba Group, indicating that the other party was indeed approaching with sincerity, without hiding behind a series of proxies—an up-front initiative for contact.
Therefore, Li Pan decided not to feign ignorance and exchanged business cards.
