Charlie gladly agreed. Soon, the salesperson called another girl over. “Sayu, this VIP wants to see the bracelet. Please recommend something to him.”When the girl named Sayu learned that Charlie was a generous tycoon, she donned a broad smile and cheerily exclaimed, “Sir, please follow me.”Nanako hurriedly asked, “Charlie-kun, do you need me to try on the bracelet for you?”Charlie smiled. “I intend to buy one for my mother-in-law. She’s a bit on the chubbier side, so there is no need to trouble you.”Nanako replied with a smile, “Right, then you go ahead. I would like to see the ring, is that okay?”Charlie nodded. “Sure. I’ll be over there to look at the bracelets.”Nanako smiled sweetly. “Okay!”Only when Charlie went to the bracelet section did Nanako whisper to the salesperson responsible of the rings section, “Excuse me, the ring I tried on just now, is it still in stock?”The salesperson nodded gently and said, “Yes. We have three of these rings. Two were sold, and the
After leaving Tiffany’s, Nanako accompanied Charlie to shop at Ginza’s major stores.For the sake of it, and to be fair, Charlie bought a high-end Boss suit for Jacob, his father-in-law.Ever since Jacob’s appointment as the executive director for the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he spent most of his time there and had become its second-best person, earning himself an honorable reputation in the association.Moreover, the association he was in now had a lot of cultural collaboration with the Senior University that Matilda was at, so Jacob could suit up a little to make himself look more charismatic and dignified.Besides, Charlie also bought a few other smaller accessories and souvenirs.At 3.30 pm, there was still about two hours before Charlie’s flight to Osaka. Considering that the Tokyo Airport was quite a distance from the city, Charlie said, “Nanako, it’s almost time for me to go to the airport.”Without hesitation, Nanako replied, “Charlie-kun, I’ll see you off!”
When Nanako was deep in her thought, Charlie had already driven his car to the airport.After parking, he got out of the car with Nanako and bent down to put the car keys on top of the vehicle’s front tires.Nanako asked in surprise, “Charlie-kun, what are you doing?”Charlie answered with a smile, “I’m leaving the keys here for my friend. Otherwise, the key would have to follow me back to Oskia.”Nanako asked doubtfully, “Won’t it be lost? If someone finds out, won’t they be able to drive the car away?”Charlie laughed. “No one will notice it. Besides, there are so many cars here. Who would bend down to check each of these cars’ front tires anyway?”He then added, “I’ll inform the owner where I’ve put the key so that he can come and drive the car whenever it’s convenient for him.”Nanako smiled and nodded, “You’re so smart, Charlie-kun. I would’ve never thought of this idea in my life.”Charlie chuckled. “I just wanted to save some money. If I were to bring it back to Oskia an
At that point in time, Tokyo Airport had stepped up inspections of the departure hall to track down the murderer of Matsumoto Yoshito and his family. Still, there was no way to perform strict control on all passengers due to the lack of workforce.Although Rosalie was holding an Oskian passport, the staff did not report to his superior as she was heading to Osaka and not leaving Japan.The staff silently recited Rosalie’s name several times over, thinking to himself that the name sounded extremely pleasant, but he couldn’t quite explain why.Seeing the staff holding her passport and freezing for a moment, the first thought that crossed Rosalie’s mind was that her identity had been exposed. However, she quickly dismissed the implausible thought.First, the Tokyo Police Department knew that the exterminated Matsumoto’s family was a high-skilled martial artist from Oskia. Still, they didn’t know anything beyond that. They didn’t even know the name of the murderer.Moreover, Japan was
Back then, Nanako insisted on competing with Aurora, whose strength had improved significantly thanks to Charlie’s Rejuvenating Pill.In the end, Aurora had seriously injured Nanako in the ring, which eventually became a thorn that pieced Charlie’s heart.On the one hand, he felt sorry for Nanako, but on the other, he appreciated her zeal for never saying no and her courage to tread uncharted waters.In addition to that, he felt a certain degree of shame for her because he single-handedly pushed Aurora from a level far below her to a level far beyond Nanako’s.Now that he had cured her, the thorn was removed, and he no longer felt the disturbing stab in his heart.He saved her life and made her strength improve by a large margin, so the guilt was also redeemed.With both the heartache and guilt finally being washed away, what remained was more of an appreciation for Nanako.He smiled at her heartily and full of ease. “In that case, I’ll head off first!”“Okay!” Nanako nodded. S
Charlie first felt the soft, tender touch of Nanako’s lips, and then a slightly salty, bitter taste in his mouth.He knew very well that these were the taste of Nanako’s tears. At this moment, he felt an unceasing affection for her but also one of helplessness.Their lips parted softly a few seconds later. Nanako looked up at Charlie with reddened eyes and sobbed, “Charlie-kun, please don’t ever forget me…”Charlie nodded, gently replying with earnest, “I won’t. Don’t worry.”“If you ever need my help in the future, please just let me know!” replied Nanako solemnly.Charlie nodded. “I will; the same goes for you!”Nanako broke into a smile amid the stream of tears. “You better get going now, or you’ll miss the flight!”Charlie looked at her with a longing and soulful gaze, softly bidding the girl a final farewell. “Goodbye, Nanako. We shall meet again someday.”“Alright. Goodbye, Charlie-kun.”This time, Charlie turned around and never looked back.He didn’t want to see a tea
The ring was of the same style, and even its size was a perfect match.As soon as Nanako saw the ring, she burst with unexplainable joy, as if it was Charlie who had personally given her the ring.Seeing Nanako’s delight, Kawana Kurenai asked in bewilderment, “Miss, why would you be so interested in a brand like Tiffany? It is a very ordinary brand, and the ring is rather cheap. Their diamonds are like grains of sand…”Kurenai was right. A diamond ring worth one million dollars or less was, frankly speaking, for the averagely wealthy family. The real tycoons didn’t even bother wearing such rings.Ultra-wealthy tycoons of the East and West owned diamonds with the highest purity, ones that were precisely cut, and so clear, they could easily fetch ten million apiece.Those who were really wealthy would buy raw, precious diamonds and customize them into rings, the reason why it wasn’t rare that such rings were worth more than ten million.The rich Oskians had a wide preference wh
Rosalie’s original withdrawal plan was to ask her gang to spread themselves and then gather in Osaka. A private airplane would then be transferred from Raventon to Osaka and bring everyone back to Eastcliff.Nevertheless, if the Tokyo metropolitan police officers could not arrest her and the other assassins from the Schulz family, they might investigate all the previous exit records from the country. Any airplanes flown from Osaka to Eastcliff would surely become the suspicious target of the police officers.Therefore, Rosalie had decided that everyone should depart from Osaka to Raventon.The Japanese had the right to investigate all information regarding its flights from the country. Theoretically speaking, all flights which have departed from Japan could be investigated by the Japanese officers.Therefore, if everyone were to reach Raventon first and then transfer from Raventon to Eastcliff, that would no longer be related to Japan. With that, the Japanese would lose its trail.Logi
