Nice to Meet You All

After hesitating for a moment, Imori Hiroshi finally knocked on the office door.

A few seconds later, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.

The club's lavish office was unlit. Aside from the faint moonlight spilling in through the floor-to-ceiling windows and casting a few white shadows across the floor, everything around him was pitch-black.

In the moonlight, Shen Qingzhu stood before the floor-to-ceiling window in the Flowing Cloud Haori, silently gazing at the distant city, lost in thought.
