Plevenov arrived as promised.
He didn't dare choose a meeting place near the forest but instead picked a café far away.
"Hello, I'm the president of the Garden Federation. You can call me the Gardener."
Gao Yi introduced himself politely, while Yuri stood silently behind him, not sitting down immediately, like an attendant.
Plevenov looked at Yuri with some confusion, then shifted his gaze to Gao Yi in front of him.

The other was an unknown foreigner, young, and seemingly unworthy even of being Yuri's attendant.
Yet, now their roles had reversed. Who wouldn't be caught off guard for a moment?

Plevenov looked at Gao Yi with a grave expression and said in a low voice, "I've never heard of it. I only know of the Garden."
"It is the Garden, but the Garden is limited to assassin operations, while the Garden Federation does everything."
Gao Yi had to patiently explain this to Plevenov.
"The Garden..."
