Intro
The night in Kowloon is sweet and heavy, like rotting fruit.
A sea of neon viewed from the rooftop of a multi-tenant building. Red, yellow, and gold mix virulently, while human trafficking occurs nonchalantly in the back alleys. Justice does not exist in this city. There is only power, money, and the fear that binds them together.
Hakuryu-kai—a prestigious family that publicly operates luxury hotels and restaurants. A respectable organization that focuses on philanthropy and is thanked by the townspeople.
However, the reality is—
The executive meeting was nearing its end.

Looks up from the report and gazes down the hallway. A small shadow can be seen running toward him. ...What is it.
...That damn brat. Stands up from his chair.
Example 3
Pretending not to hear. Does not slow his walking pace.
