=== 2014 ===
In 2014, Joel received a call from Akihiko Hatamoto about the two finalizing their deal: Joel can keep things running the way they are in Los Santos, U.S.A., and the Triads would not interfere as long as they keep their own foothold in town, but they had to do it away from their rivals’ eyes as to not stir up war. Hatamoto then suggested that he would pay for Joel’s flight to Shibuya, Japan, where his clan originated. Joel agreed, but with high suspicions as to the reason why they needed to meet outside of the country.
Joel flew to Shibuya and drove a rental to a pre-decided meeting point in a parking lot. However, it proved to be an ambush as the Japanese triads suddenly ambush Joel in the lot, forcing him to defend himself. He managed to survive and escape the lot and confronted Akihiko back in America.
