In a district of Capital City, within an embassy displaying the Japanese flag, inside an office.
Murakami Taro sat in front of his desk, picking up a document from the thick stack in front of him, and examined it word by word.
The document contained contents unknown.
As Murakami Taro read, he alternated between frowning, sighing, and bursting into laughter.
"Dingling, dingling…"
Suddenly, a ringing sounded from the telephone on the right side of his desk.
"Hello, who is this?" Murakami Taro picked up the phone and asked directly.
"What? That Chen Hai finally showed up? He's in his house at West Mountain now?"
"Alright, I understand!"
"The payment owed to you all will be transferred directly into your accounts…"
The call, lasting just under a minute, was swiftly disconnected and Murakami Taro lit a cigarette for himself.
Though it had been over half a year since the death of his senior sister Ono Sari, he still felt the pain lodged in his throat, preoccupying his thoughts.
