At Kyoto City, which was hundreds of kilometers away from Tokyo.The huge Ito family mansion with a century-old history was located in the center of Kyoto City.The Ito family mansion was located next to the Azuchi Castle, which was the residence of Oda Nobunaga, one of the three great unifiers during the Sengoku period in Japan. Although the surface area of the Ito family mansion was slightly smaller compared to the Azuchi Castle, the overall surface area was already much larger compared to the largest standalone family villa in Eastcliff.There was a moat that had been excavated during the war surrounding the mansion, and it bore the heavy responsibility of guarding the mansion.Three hundred and sixty degrees surveillance cameras were installed on the walls to capture all the blind spots and ensure that no one would be able to trespass and enter the mansion without any permission.Many bodyguards were armed with live ammunition behind the towering mansion walls.The buildings
As her thoughts were running wild, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly started ringing.When she took out her cell phone, she realized that it was a phone call from Tanaka-san. She hurriedly put her thoughts aside before she answered the call, and she smiled as she said, “Tanaka-san, why are you calling me so late at night?”Hiroshi sighed as he said, “Miss, something happened today. The chairman is very angry, and he smashed and destroyed a lot of antiques at home.”Nanako felt very nervous and anxious when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, “Tanaka-san, what happened? Did my Eminent Father encounter some sort of trouble?”Hiroshi said, “The chairman brought me along with me to Kobayashi Pharma because he intended to sign a share transfer agreement with the board of directors of Kobayashi Pharma. After signing the agreement, the chairman asked the staff from the financial department to transfer four and a half billion US dollars over to Kobayashi Pharma’s account…”When N
Hiroshi really did not expect that the eldest young lady would actually sound so happy and excited when she heard that Charlie was currently in Japan.He could not help but secretly think to himself, ‘Didn’t I make everything really clear just now? Charlie has already cheated your father out of four and a half billion US dollars! Why does it seem like you are really excited when you hear that he is in Japan?’However, Hiroshi did not dare to ask her this question at all.When Nanako saw that Hiroshi did not respond to her question, she hurriedly asked him, “Tanaka-san, answer me quickly! Is Charlie-kun really here in Japan now?”Hiroshi could only reply honestly, “Yes, miss. He is already here in Tokyo, Japan. I saw him here today.”Nanako replied, “Did he come to Japan to take over Kobayashi Pharma?”“That should be the case.” Hiroshi replied truthfully, “I don’t know the specific and exact details, but he should be here to take over Kobayashi Pharma.”Nanako felt a little regr
Although Nanako and Hiroshi were only speaking over the phone, she instantly blushed as soon as she heard his words.She tried to explain vaguely, “Tanaka-san… you… you have misunderstood me! I… I do not… I do not have any feelings… or affection… for Mr. Wade…”Hiroshi sighed as he said, “Miss, I have already been serving the Ito family for so many years, and I have already stayed by your side for such a long time. I understand and know you very well. You don’t have to hide anything from me. I do not want to invade or pry into your privacy. However, the main point is that if even someone like me could read your thoughts, what’s more, the chairman who has always had such great insight, then? It would certainly be impossible for you to hide your feelings in front of the chairman. I am afraid that you will not only be unable to meet up with Mr. Wade, but you might also reveal your true thoughts and feelings in front of the chairman at that time…”“This…” Nanako was at a loss for words.
Nanako knew very well that Charlie’s strength was far beyond her own imagination.After getting injured, her master, Kazuki, had told her that Charlie not only abolished and turned him into a useless person because he was using brute force to punch him. Instead, he had combined the reiki and internal energy that had often been mentioned in Oskian combat and fighting to destroy his muscles and veins. It was that kind of inner strength.Kazuki himself had come into contact with some ninjutsu masters in the past. Although his actual combat ability was a lot worse compared to those ninjutsu masters, he could still at least perform a few tricks in front of them. It was completely different compared to when he was facing Charlie and was completely helpless, unable to resist at all.It was obvious that Charlie’s strength was far greater compared to the level of the ninjutsu masters in Japan.Nanako knew this very well, and she clearly understood that no matter whether it was her father or
At that time, she had been extremely nervous in front of Charlie.As she had been bewildered and at a loss for what to do, she had handed Charlie the cup of milk tea that she was holding in her hand. She had even told him that she wanted to give him the milk tea. However, she truly did not expect Charlie to actually take the cup of milk tea from her before taking a sip of the drinks.Moreover, Nanako had just been using that straw before Charlie took over the cup of milk tea, and he had drunk using the same straw. That kind of indirect kissing was the most ambiguous thing that Nanako had ever done with a man in her lifetime.Nanako had also been constantly thinking of that indirect kiss ever since that day. As she thought about Charlie, she subconsciously raised her slender finger as she began writing Charlie’s name on the surface of the water.There were soft waves and ripples on the surface of the water, but the water did not retain any traces of anything that she wrote on it.
The Schulz family was a big and prestigious family who originated from Hestrance but had already established a hundred years of history in Eastcliff.In the past, during the Peace Heavenly Rebellion, the Schulz family followed the merchant, Aiden Wilbur, and they risked their lives to transport and supply munitions and food to the army. Since then, they had won the appreciation and gratitude of the government back then.After that, the Schulz family accumulated their wealth, and they had broken forth, moving from their hometown in Hestrance to Eastcliff. Ever since then, the Schulz family carried on the family business, and they eventually leaped to the top rankings in the country.Over the past few decades, the Schulz and Wade family had been fighting and going against each other. Under the leadership of Charlie’s father, Curtis, the Schulz family had initially become slightly weaker. However, after Curtis had died young, the Schulz family immediately trampled over the Wade family
Because of his young age and because he had always been favored and pampered at home, Zeno had always had a strong desire to prove himself.However, he used to only show off and prove himself in front of his parents, and he never had the opportunity to show off in front of his grandfather before. He finally decided to seize and take advantage of this opportunity today. He was thinking of discussing and debating his grandfather’s idea and proposal with him so that he would have the opportunity to show off his extraordinary talents and wisdom. Zeno never expected that he would make Lord Schulz angry just because of what he had said.He was about to open his mouth to explain himself, but before he could even do so, his father, Stefan, had already stood up. Stefan raised his hands and gave Zeno a few tight slaps across his face, left and right in turns. Stefan slapped his son until the corners of his mouth were filled with blood. Then, he roared in extreme anger, “What is the point of yo
