Before long, a person dressed similarly to Feng and the others, also wearing a full-body cloak, arrived before Feng under the guidance of the Underground Marketplace's manager.
"This lord is the employer.
This is Hosokawa, the one who accepted the job.

Hosokawa smiled first, then subtly guided him
