Chapter 44

Mr. Sato’s personal physician, an accomplished doctor who had trained in Australia, examined him in the safety of his large office at the automotive headquarters.

“That was a close call,” Sato said in English, for Cain’s benefit.

“Yes, it was.” The doctor continued attending to Sato’s neck. “No stitches needed, though. Just some cuts from the glass. You’re lucky you had your American security guard with you.”

“They are the lucky ones! If they had been brave enough to face me hand to hand, I would have destroyed them.”

“Who were they?” the doctor inquired.

“Trust me,” Sato replied. “I will find out.”

“Until we do,” Cain said, “you’re still in great danger. My team and I will continue to train hard to protect you.”

“When will these threats stop?” the doctor asked. “Sato-san is not getting any younger.”

“They won’t,” Cain replied. “Not until they get what they want.”

“What do they want?” the doctor asked.

“They want me to resign,” Sato said angrily. “And I will not! I’ve come too far. I was born in this world alone. Abandoned at an orphanage without any clothing on my back. I worked day and night to reach this position. I carry the sacred name of my adoptive parents. I will not give my attackers, nor my competition, the pleasure of seeing me resign in defeat and in disgrace. I will not do that to the Sato family name.”

Cain was surprised by Mr. Sato’s history, which he had never heard before. “Then we’ll outlast them. The threats against the United States president never stop, either. I’m used to this kind of pressure. And obviously, you are, too.”

Mr. Sato grabbed a pack of Marlboros from his desk drawer and lit an imported cigarette.

“Those things will kill you,” the doctor said.

Sato took a drag and slowly exhaled the smoke. He looked Cain directly in his eyes and nodded. Cain could practically read his thoughts: The gaijin was better than he had expected.
