Daylight brightened the sky of Tokyo City. Charlie and Ito Nanako were having breakfast together.Nanako turned to Charlie, saying, “I’ll ask the servants to prepare the guest room for you, Charlie-Kun. You should rest first. You haven’t slept all night. It must be hard for you.”Charlie smiled a little and shook his head. “Don’t trouble yourself. I am not tired.”“How can you not be?” exclaimed Nanako. She couldn’t hide the distress in her words. “Since last night’s battle with Fujibayashi’s ninjas, you haven’t rested at all. Not to mention how you endured two battles and drove for hundreds of kilometers…”Charlie smiled. “You didn’t rest too. Aren’t you feeling tired yourself?” he asked.Nanako was startled by his question. After pondering for a moment, she replied, “I’m not really tired. In fact, I feel as if my body is inexhaustible, filled with renewed vigor. I feel at the top of my game…”“This should be the effect of the medicine you gave me, right?” she interjected quickl
“I heard from my subordinates in Japan that there had been many successive criminal cases in Tokyo within these two days,” replied Issac. “They seem to be related to foreign forces. As a result, Tokyo has tightened customs and landing procedures for private jets. If you want to leave Japan, Osaka seems to be the only viable choice. Other airports don’t allow takeoffs.”Charlie finally understood the current situation after he heard that.The tight control in Tokyo had to be related to the Schulz family planning to destroy Matsumoto Yoshito.In fact, after some careful thought, Charlie was able to comprehend their intentions.Take the Tokyo police department as an example. If someone were to violate the law in Tokyo, the perpetrator would surely be punished through the normal legal means.However, if a group of foreigners suddenly popped up in Tokyo, threatening the lynching of citizens, saying that the methods used were brutal and inhumane, no country’s security department would e
After breakfast, Charlie, who was idling, was dragged by Nanako into her boudoir.It was the same scenario as when they were in Kyoto. Charlie was invited to sit on the tatami mat in her boudoir, where a plate of incense was burned, and a cup of Japanese matcha was prepared.After that, she turned to Charlie. “Charlie-kun, I’d like to take a look at the financial statements and detailed information about my family’s business to familiarize myself with the operations as soon as possible. Please let me know if it bores you in any way.”Charlie replied casually, “Don’t worry about me. I’m good. You should get to work. I’ll just be on my phone.”In actual fact, Charlie disliked spending too much time on his phone. He was unlike current youngsters, always glued to technologies and their devices.He was only browsing through his phone to read up on Tokyo’s news in hopes of getting some useful information about the situation.Nanako, who was by his side, leaned over in front of the book
Seeing how the old master pitied Curtis Wade, Clayton retorted, dissatisfied. "Father, Curtis has left us for so many years. Please stop bringing him up. Besides, we are all responsible as to why Curtis left us. Basically, the entire Eastcliff was involved in one way or another. It wasn't something that we could control."Caleb agreed and chimed in, "Yes, father. Isn't this supposed to be about Jaime and Sophie? How did this suddenly turn into a talk about Curtis?"Old master sighed. "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's get down to business. So, to sum up, the Schulz family screwed up their venture to Japan. The upcoming events are not looking good for them; hence this is a perfect opportunity to make our move and catch up to them! What do you think?"Everyone glanced at each other excitedly. Clayton nodded in agreement. "You're right, Father. I, too, think that this is a great opportunity for us!""Our shipping business started out a little later than the Schulz family
After hearing the old master's words, Clayton admitted in embarrassment, "Father, you've previously talked about having an arranged marriage with Schulz family. You wanted Sophie as Wade family's daughter-in-law, but you did not select a suitable groom."Jeremiah chipped in, "Didn't we agree on it last time? The son of Curtis is the best candidate.""But Stephen previously mentioned that Curtis' son did not want to come back to the family. I think he might even hate us," replied Clayton.Jeremiah waved his hand. "It's not up to you or me to determine whether or not the kid hates us."Caleb, who was by his side, quickly asked, "Father, are you saying you'd want to look for Curtis' son and ask him to return to the family?"Jeremiah nodded. "Indeed. It's on my mind, but I'm unsure how I should persuade him."Clayton suddenly felt threatened, tremendous pressure bearing down on him. He quickly interjected, "Father, Curtis' son has been away from home for so many years! He is uncontro
Clayton was extraordinarily depressed, but he couldn’t bring himself to object. So, he tried to pull the main topic back to the spotlight. “Father, shouldn’t we be discussing our venture in Japan? You just mentioned there should be no direct confrontation with Schulz family. So what should we do now?”“We cannot be too obvious in exposing ourselves, but you can send someone to meet Ito Yahiko in private,” replied Jeremiah.Clayton started to feel a little irritated. He suddenly had an idea to head over to Tokyo to clear his mind, and thus, volunteered. “Father, why don’t I fly to Tokyo tomorrow morning and meet up with Ito Yahiko.”Jeremiah nodded, but his reply surprised Clayton. “We must definitely meet him, but the person meeting him should not be you.”Taken aback, Clayton asked. “Father, what do you mean?”Jeremiah replied, “Previously, the Schulz’ sent their younger generation to meet Ito family. If Wade family were to send you, however, it just doesn’t seem right. It’ll loo
It would be a shame not to praise him, but Sheldon’s acting skills were indeed on point.If it weren’t because Ito Yahiko already knew what a rotten person he was, he would’ve easily been deceived by his warm smile and friendly approach.Although Yahiko felt disgusted, he still forced a smile and replied, “You’re way too polite, Mr. Schulz. When you arrived in Japan, I wanted to personally welcome you at the airport and arrange the hotel stay for you, but I didn’t expect to encounter so many incidents either.”Sheldon hurriedly replied, “Oh, there’s no need to be so courteous, Mr. Ito. We the Schulz and Ito family have a long defining history. We will definitely continue to strengthen our cooperation and deepen our relationship in the future. Why should we be bothered over something so insignificant?”Ito Yahiko saw through his hypocrisy and wanted to hurl his breakfast out, but all he could do was nod his head in agreement. “You’re right. We shouldn’t be so bothered over something
Rescuing the duo was purely coincidental.The only clue they had of him was that he was an Oskian.There was nothing else they knew about him.Sheldon initially wanted Rosalie to look into this mysterious man’s background.But now that the police force, ministry of foreign affairs, and the Japanese department of homeland security were going all out to capture his men, he could only give up on that idea.He needed to send Rosalie back to their country first to prevent the Japanese government from laying hand on her.If they were to be captured by the Japanese government, it would be challenging to escape capital punishment, considering how severe the incident was. Even if they were able to escape the death sentence, they would still be thrown into jail for the rest of their lives!Sheldon’s only option was to discard that thought for now wholly. Now that Ito Yahiko brought up this person again, Sheldon deliberately asked, “Mr. Ito, that mysterious person who was said to protect
