Chapter 20 – Fear My Name

Three knocks at the door.

"Yes?" Leni voiced out,

"Atty., Mister Sakamoto is here." Came Grace's voice behind the door.

"Ahh, yes. Please let him in!" Leni replied.

The door knob turned. Grace and Mr. Sakamoto entered her office.

"Konnichiwa, Sakamoto-san!" Leni stood up to greet him and give a handshake.

"Hello Atty." The older man greeted and went to get a seat, "It's nice to finally have this meeting with you before I head back to Japan. I made some purchases lately."

"That's great, sir." Leni smiled, "Do you want any pasalubong to bring with you to Japan?"

"It's fine. I bought some for myself and my daughter, Keiko." He then gave Leni some papers with a sticky note on the top of the pile. "Here's some of the printed paperwork you have asked from us. Care to go through them?"

"Sure!"

Leni silently read the note on top of the fake pile of paperwork.

I received your text. Is the device still in the office at the moment? Please let me know so I can keep talking nonsense while I exchange notes with you.

She quickly picked up a pen and paper to write a reply. Mr. Sakamoto kept talking about his visit in the Metro earlier this morning to make sure there was no awkward silence. Both of them assumed that the phone was either listening to them or recording their conversation.

Leni wrote her reply on a piece of paper.

Unfortunately, yes. You told me you have bought and set up the things I suggested to you somewhere in the Metro?

Mr. Sakamoto kept talking about something unrelated to their note exchange. He then wrote his reply on the same paper where Leni wrote.

Yes. My staff arrived in the Metro earlier and they immediately set them all up. Everything is taken care of.

Leni then a short reply while their fake conversation continued verbally. An exchange of written messages followed on that one piece of paper.

The racer guys got me all the info I needed. I will take that person down tonight. The rest of them too.

Good luck, Racer X.

"It's an honor to meet you again personally, Atty." Mr. Sakamoto stood up and gave a deep bow to Leni, "Me and my company, Sakamoto Industries are forever loyal to you and AB. Just let me know if you need anything that needs our support."

"Thanks, Sakamoto-san. So far, we're all covered."

Leni then guided Mr. Sakamoto to the door then outside of her office. This is where they continued their last few moments of conversation.

"By the way, George said this flash drive has a password." Leni handed out the encrypted USB flash drive to Mr. Sakamoto.

"Ahh, I see." Mr. Sakamoto laughed a little and looked at the flash drive closely. He returned it back to Leni, "I think it's not the right time to tell the password, Atty. Also, if your son is attempting to use any software to unlock it, it would just risk of getting the files corrupted."

"What do you mean sir?" Leni was puzzled,

Both of them were almost near the exit. The older man stopped walking and looked at Leni, "Leni, I'm sorry. But I am afraid this might be the last time I would talk to you personally."
