Conor:The dates were. I knew he was innocent though.

Star:How?

Conor:Because Da had killed the guy this Triad allegedly had.

Star:Lol! That would do it.

Conor:Right? Anyway, the Triads aren’t like the Russians and the Italians. They stick to their own and they listen to China way more than even the Russians listen to Moscow. I figured it’d be a good thing to have them in my back pocket.

Star:It worked.

Conor:Not really. They gave me the shares instead lol.

Conor:Smart bastards.

Star:How many shares do you own?

Conor:Thirty-five percent.

Star:Yowza. That’s some gift.

Conor:He was serving life with no chance of parole. Plus, he was related to the Dragon Head. They’re like us—the deeper the ties to the leader, the more status you have.

Star:Hmm. Okay. Back to Prince Edward.

Conor:What about him?

Star:He’s on a council of some variation.

Conor:That’s news to me.

Star:Me too.

Conor:What makes you think he is?

*picture uploaded*

Conor:Huh.

Star:Huh.

Conor:You know who these four are?

Star:Sort of.

Conor:Meaning?

Star:I know who three are.

Conor:Give me names. I recognize the one who likes to think he’s the King of Greece.

Star:Prince Ludwig—he’s the one to the left. Prince Edward of Midlothian is on the right. Beside him is Ke Jintao. He’s a Vice Chairman of the CCP’s National Security Commission.

Conor:Who’s the last guy?

Star:That’s the only one I’m struggling with.

Conor:Where did you get this photo?
