| Landing Back in Los Santos |
|---|
| After a 5 year break away from Los Santos, James Haze flew back into the city in December of 2023 with hopes of reconnecting with old friends and gaining opportunities to erase memories of the past. The once multimillionaire, now penniless, man first began by regaining his connections and getting his bearings, for a lot had changed in the city too. After meeting up with Lara VanDusk, he quickly realised how things had changed. Along with Lara, he then met with Violet Snowe who had plans of working again with James. However, communications were not clear and James ended up walking out of the meeting unhappy. Ex-police officer Oliver Fury made contact with James and the pair reminisced about James' attempts to feed Oliver tomatoes. The conversation ended with the pair planning to meet up in the future.

| Returning to Law? |
|---|
| With few options left, James decided it would be best to return to doing what he knew best. In mid-December, he went to the courthouse and met with newly elected Judge Brittany Angel. He explained that after such a long break, it was time for him to return to the Department of Justice and requested a bar license so he could, once again, become a lawyer. Whilst waiting to hear back from the DOJ, James was able to act as a legal aid. He also met up with previous judge Ferst Temple during this time and the pair talked about creating a law firm and financial services together. |
| Joining the Kaneshiro Clan |
|---|
| Towards the end of December 2023, James was invited to a meeting, by Mary Domino-Mushkin, where she revealed her plans going forwards. She explained that whilst James had gone back to Switzerland, Yokai had ceased to exist. As such, a new group was to be formed with Mary placing herself at the top. This would be called The Kaneshiro Clan, a Yakuza-style group. She explained the different roles that all the people present at the meeting would take and offered James the role of Kyodai, who are distinguished full members of the clan. James accepted this role, stating that he would have accepted when he and Mary had last met if she had offered. Further meetings were proposed to be held bi-weekly and the group further discussed the need to raise funds to buy a property for the clan.
