You walk inside the tower on the ground floor with no problems.

Cade
Cade made his way to the front desk, waiting for his turn if there were other people there. If not - or when it was his turn - he walked up to the receptionist.
"...Good day. Got a couple of questions, if I may? I was hoping to meet with Mr. Giusepe, who was visiting Mr. Fisk today. Would you happen to know when their meeting ends, by any chance?" he asked politely.

"Giusepe? How did you know he was here?" She asked as you watch her hand move under the desk.

Cade
He stared right into her eyes, to dominate her mind. 'I am not a threat and you want to cooperate with me. You are sure I would be an asset for Mr. Fisk to meet. In fact, you would feel guilty if you messed up such an opportunity for him', he commanded mentally.
Then he responded simply in a more audible manner.
"Simple. I just returned from Mr. Giusepe's business in town. Unfortunately, I was told he wasn't there when I got there. But I noticed you did not answer my question." 15 (Ef) in Dominate (Project Thoughts/Control others) to get her to cooperate willingly and without making a scene.
7 in Statecraft (Handsome, Persuade, Business) to keep up the facade of just being here for business and not trouble.

"Okay... Yes he is here." She said as five men entered the room, and walked up to you. One larger than normal, one wearing a cowboy hat, and one with iron glove-like weapons over his fist.
"Someone wants to see Giusepe... Well you'll have to get past the Enforcers to do so." The leader said.

Cade smiled. "...That a threat? Why is it so difficult to talk to the guy, is he the freaking pope or something?" he asked half jokingly. 9 (Ef) in Close Combat into defense in case they start the hostilities. (Total ph.defense: 20)
Also, Mark of Caine: 7 if they do hurt me.

"Maybe not him, but the boss sure ain't." The lead man says. They're ready to fight, but they're also not attacking yet.

"I see. So... did I get that right? If I want to meet mister Giusepe, I need to 'get past you'? You sure?" he asked. "Cause... I don't want to hurt you. But if that's what you tell me I have to do to get my meeting, believe me... I'm going to hurt you", he warned. Repeating my stones, plus:
9 in Statecraft (Persuade, Serious, Intimidate) to get them to think about this twice before they make a decision.

They look at each other, and back to you. "Alright, we'll take you up to see him. We ain't risking our necks over a rival gang." They say escorting you to the elevator.

"Glad to hear it. Especially given that I'm hoping to work with your boss, and I don't think sending some of his best men to the hospital would make a good first impression", he said, smiling. "Let's get along, shall we?" he said... using his Presence discipline to make some friends. 10 (Ef) into Presence (Awe); as Pheromones to induce awe, fascination and a strong desire to seek my approval in them.

You arrive at a room where two men one with slicked black hair, and another is bald, and abnormally large.

Cade waited by the door for the two men to be done with each other, not wanting to interrupt.

They finish said meeting, getting up and shaking hands.

Cade
Cade waited for Giusepe to walk past him, saying: "Hey, sir. I just had a chat with your man back at the pokemon ring. He said he'd successfully established the changes of not harming pokemon more than necessary, exactly as you wanted him to do, since you were smart enough to recognize it was more profitable in the long run", he said, smiling. "Told me to let you know. So, that's done. Have a fine day."
Obviously using Dominate the whole time. 15 (Ef) in Dominate (Project thoughts/Control others, Edit Memories) to get him to think the change was his own idea the whole time so he doesn't just go and change it back.

"I wanted that-" He begins to ask before he froze for a moment. "Yeah, I did. Good. Then everything is going according to plan." He said walking off.
"A bit of persuasive power. Most impressive. You are clearly no mere human." Fisk says impressed.
