Lord Moore felt a little comforted because Reuben had offered to go to Japan personally.He even thought to himself, ‘Reuben and Jasmine are not biological siblings. It is truly rare for Reuben to actually be so concerned and worried about Jasmine…’As he thought about this, Lord Moore sighed as he said, “Reuben, go and make all the arrangements for the plan now. I will go with you!”Reuben hurriedly said, “Grandpa, I think that it will be better for you not to come along with me. You are already old, and you are not familiar with that place. It will be even more troublesome if anything were to happen to you. Furthermore, my father is still abroad, and we need someone to stay back and keep watch over the Moore family. You should just stay at home. I will definitely find a way to bring Jasmine back home!”Lord Moore hesitated for a moment. He knew very well that there would be nothing that he could do even if he were to go to Japan.Furthermore, if both he and Reuben were to head t
At this time, Nanako had just returned from Kyoto to Tokyo.A few days ago, she had temporarily accompanied her father to stay in Kyoto for a few days. She wanted to give him a change of environment to lighten his mood so that he could relax. However, since she had to deal with many family affairs, she could only stay in Kyoto for three days before returning to Tokyo.Nanako was a little surprised when she received a phone call from Charlie. After all, the time in Tokyo was one hour earlier compared to the time in Oskia. Since it was 10.30 pm in Oskia, it was already 11.30 pm in Tokyo.So, Nanako was very excited, and she asked in surprise, “Charlie-kun, why are you calling me at this time?”Charlie hurriedly asked, “Nanako, are you in Tokyo now?”“Yes.” Nanako replied, “My father and I came back earlier in the afternoon today. Charlie-kun, you sound a little anxious. Is something wrong?”Charlie replied, “A good friend of mine has suddenly disappeared in Tokyo. Based on the last
On the winding road in Nishitama District, in the western suburbs of Tokyo.Several men dressed in black were looking down at the spot where Jasmine had fallen off from the cliff.They could see a fire burning below from the distance. One of them whispered, “The people inside the car should already be dead now, right?”Another person sneered as he said, “They fell from such a high altitude, and there is such a big fire. If they are not dead, I will chop off my head and hand it over to you.”The man laughed before he said, “If that is the case, we can get back to Mr. Hashimoto now.”The person beside him nodded before he said, “We should hurry up and clean up the scene first. We must remove all of the debris, glass shards, and tire friction marks on the ground from the collision earlier to ensure that no one will realize that there was an accident here after dawn.”“Okay!”The several men in black began to clean up the scene immediately.At this time, the leader took out his cel
She thought to herself, ‘This strength that I have right now must be derived from the magical medicine that Master Wade had given to me… Master Wade gave me this medicine and told me to carry it with me at any time in case of an emergency. Unexpectedly, this medicine has truly saved my life at the most critical moment!’As she thought about Charlie, Jasmine felt as though her mental and spiritual level had been inspired to an unprecedented level.She kept encouraging herself deep inside, ‘Since Master Wade has given me an opportunity to continue living, I will have to make it back to Aurous Hill alive!’***Aurous Hill.The ancient capital.Although it was not as prosperous as Eastcliff or Raventon, nor was it as affluent as the new first-tier cities in the South Region, it had its own charms and heritage after all.The people who lived here truly loved this land and river.Just as Jasmine vowed that she would definitely make it back to Aurous Hill alive, a private jet had alre
The Ito family was second to none among the leading families in Tokyo currently. Moreover, this was Charlie’s first time requesting Nanako's help. As such, Nanako prioritized this event and had exerted all of her influence and network. Tens of thousands of people searched intensively in Tokyo. Very soon, they managed to trace Jasmine at the entrance of a mountain in Nishitama district. The road to the mountain had very little traffic. Therefore, there were no surveillance systems along the road. The moment the clues were lost at the foot of the mountain in Nishitama district, the ever-alert Nanako immediately realized that Jasmine’s accident must have occurred along the road to the mountain.Not only was the roadway sparsely populated, but so was the gradient of the road, which was very high. Should there be anyone who deliberately wanted to harm Jasmine, this would be the perfect location. As such, Nanako instructed her people to halt the large-scale search, an
Mountain roads were much more dangerous than any ordinary roads regardless of their country. Falling off the cliff would be the most dangerous accident along the mountain roads. This was because the fall from a one hundred meters high cliff, followed by a roll-over along the steep mountains, would lead to very small chances of survival. In the rally race, those rally cars were equipped with a robust roll cage to ensure the safety of its drivers in the event that the rally car fell off the cliff while racing on the highway. Nonetheless, an ordinary civilian car, including a Rolls Royce which cost ten million, would not be equipped with any roll cages. If these cars were to fall off the cliff, even the Rolls Royce would turn into junk metal! Thinking of this, Charlie immediately said to Nanako, “Nanako, I beg you for one thing. You must let your ninjas find out Jasmine’s whereabouts. As long as she’s still breathing, you all must rescue her from the mountain and deliver
Inside a mountain in Nishitama. Jasmine walked slowly and carefully through the valley. Despite it being winter, evergreen plants such as pines and cypresses were growing densely along the valley. Moreover, the valley was dark and cold. There was no trace of any human beings, not even a lonely pathway. Therefore, it was very challenging to walk through these pathways. It was taxing for the experts at expeditions to walk swiftly through the valleys, let alone an amateur like Jasmine. Fortunately, it was winter, and Jasmine had wrapped herself warmly in a thick cashmere windbreaker paired with a black midi skirt with black corset leggings as well as a pair of black leather boots. Therefore, her skin would not be exposed to those pine needles, dry branches, and leaves. At the moment, Jasmine had adapted to the darkness inside the valley. She could have used her mobile phone’s torchlight, with its broken screen, to light up her surroundings, which could sa
Tyler then continued, “How’s the work done by Hashimoto? Is he competent?”Reuben sneered and said, “Quite good. According to him, the car rolled down a few hundred meters from a cliff. After that, it was burned into a pile of scrap metal. Presumably, everyone involved has turned into ashes.” Tyler said in satisfaction, “Very good!” He then continued, “By the way, before your departure, did your grandpa suspect anything?” Reuben replied, “I don’t think so. However, I’m not sure if he will be suspicious later.” Tyler snorted, “Good. He won’t have many days left.” Reuben’s heart skipped a beat, then he asked hurriedly, “Father, are you going to take action against grandpa?” Tyler answered, “No, not so soon.”Reuben said worriedly, “Father, don’t forget that the old man has spoken on the day when Jasmine was announced to take over as the head of the Moore family. In the event that Jasmine has no descendants, the leadership role will be taken over by Charlie. S
