Year of the Seahorse

The name is Tong. James Tong. 008, because eight is prosperity and Bond is a c-minus grade.

James Tong is sixty-three. He reads as late forties. The fifteen-year discount is partly genetics, partly the collagen, bone broth, beef tendon, fish maw, the white cartilage off a pork rib, and partly the refusal to apologize. He has discarded his English name. He wears $5,000 tracksuits to eat spicy street noodles. He is the great-grandson of a Cantonese railroad coolie. He is the Sovereign Successor.
