Arrival (1)

Tokyo International Airport,

A man in his 40s is standing next to a taxi, looking frustrated. "Was he Irish or American again?" he mutters to himself. "They all look the same... the plane has landed, but where the hell is he?" he grunts in anger.

As the man stood there, feeling frustrated, Midas suddenly appeared beside him. The man was startled and exclaimed, "What the...hell? Where did you come from?" Midas looked at the man and asked, "Are you Yuu Mujin?" The man caught his breath and replied in an ignorant tone, "Yeah, you're Midas."

'You know English...' said Midas as he stared down the man. 'Yea...let's hurry you are already late young man.' replied the man. As they both put the luggage in the back.

Moving down the highway,

Yuu stared at Midas through the rearview mirror and wondered, "What kind of name is Midas? I can't even understand him because he barely speaks. This ride is going to be a total nightmare." Suddenly, Midas interrupted his thoughts and asked with confidence, "Do you want to earn some money?"

"Huh...? What, sir?" asked Yuu as he was taken aback. "Yuu, do you have a family?" asked Midas, smiling. "Yes... why do you ask?" replied Yuu. Midas dropped a bundle of cash beside Yuu on the passenger seat, leaving him astonished. Yuu immediately stopped the car in the middle of the road.

'God...You could cause an accident why don't we stop on the side.' Midas said as he looked straight into Yuu's eyes.

Sometime later,

'What are you saying sir?.' questioned Yuu as he looked back at Midas. 'That's just 284820.00 yen I will give you more if you just do what I say.' replied Midas.

[284820.00 yen = 2000$]

Yuu felt nervous as he held the bundle of money and examined it. "Looks real, he thought to himself, but I don't know what he wants me to do." He looked into Midas eyes and tried to gauge his intentions. As Yuu sighed, he finally spoke up. "I can't do anything illegal, sir. I don't want to," he said. But before he could finish, Midas interrupted him. "Don't worry, nothing illegal. I just need your help me move. That's all."

Yuu was confused rightfully so seeing a man suddenly give this much money only for travel. Yuu still takes the risk as he asks ' What do I have to do sir?'

Midas looked directly into Yuu's eyes and said, "First, help me get a sim card and I will give you some more money." Yuu was surprised and exclaimed, "A sim card...?" Midas explained, "You see, I don't have my ID with me, and I need a sim card for my phone. If you can get me one, I will give you another 284820.00 yen."

Yuu looked at Midas as he muttered something to himself. 'Uhh...if you pay me a bit more, I can get you a new SIM card for free,' Yuu said. Midas nodded in agreement and Yuu immediately started the car to head to a location to obtain the new SIM card.
