Brother Ngau waved his hand to stop her, shook his head, and said, "Once the choice is made, there is no room for regret. If I am to step down, I will do it thoroughly. I can cede Kowloon and retire completely, but on one condition: I must go abroad, to a place where no one knows me, and start anew. You know as well as I do that my file at the police station is thick enough to trip over. Going abroad through regular channels is absolutely impossible. If the Dragon Gate can make this happen, then starting today, Kowloon belongs to the Dragon Gate."
Sister Thirteen smiled faintly. "Mr. Lok doesn't even need to nod for this; I can agree to it on his behalf. As for the way out, Hon Bun has connections. He can guarantee that you and your people reach foreign soil safely to begin a new life. If you’re still worried, you can even take your core subordinates with you..."
"Good!" Brother Ngau slapped the table hard, a beaming smile on his face. "Your word is gold, Sister Thirteen. You do what you say you’ll do; I trust you!" After a pause, he added, enunciating every word, "I will keep my side of the bargain. From today on, Kowloon belongs to the Dragon Gate. I will make a public announcement shortly."
