After hearing Richard's answer, Asuma looked at him seriously and continued, "Would it be convenient to have a private chat, Mr. Richard?" "Of course!" Richard responded. After saying a few words to Kurenai Yuhi and Uzuki Yugao, they headed to an unoccupied corner of the street. Once there, Asuma took out a pack of cigarettes and said to Richard, "Do you smoke, Mr. Richard?" "No, thank you!" Although Richard occasionally smoked a cigar when he was bored, he was not addicted to smoking, so he shook his head.
