The woman on the phone call said calmly, “In that case, I would like to invite Mr. Reuben to proceed to the rooftop now.”“The rooftop?”Reuben frowned. “What do you want me to do on the rooftop?”The woman replied, “The helicopter is waiting on the rooftop.”“Helicopter?” Reuben’s expression was a little surprised but also a little disgusted.He thought to himself, ‘This Charlie and his friends are indeed truly dull. Why are they piloting a helicopter in the middle of the city? Is it just because they have a little bit of money and don’t know where to spend it? Just because they rented a helicopter, they think that they are amazing? This bit is really too low, isn’t it?’Thinking of this, he smiled contemptuously and then replied very politely, “Alright, please wait a while, and I will make my way to the rooftop shortly.”“Alright. I will be waiting for Mr. Reuben on the rooftop.”After hanging up the call, Reuben immediately laughed contemptuously. “Hmph, Charlie is really in
In Reuben’s opinion, the Ito family’s status was indeed very high. It was, after all, the top family in Japan that had just survived the tragic fatal feud between the three big families in Tokyo. For that alone, the future prospects of the Ito family were beyond the limit.Therefore, Reuben refused to believe that Charlie had anything to do with the Ito family. He assumed that Charlie or his friends must have spent money to rent a helicopter under the aviation company of the Ito family.Hence, he took his assistant and stepped in front of the helipad.There was a beautiful woman in a blue flight attendant uniform standing by the helicopter. When she saw them approach, she looked at Reuben and said with great respect, “You must be Mr. Moore, right?”Reuben nodded and said with a bit of arrogance, “Yes, that’s me. Are you the ones responsible for picking me up?”The woman smiled politely and said, “Yes, Mr. Moore. Mr. Wade and our Young Miss are waiting for you at home now. Please b
At this moment, the helicopter engine slowly started and then accelerated continuously, and soon, it began to slowly take off.Reuben thought, ‘Well, I might as well take this chance to see what the view of Tokyo is like from the sky.’As he was thinking of this, he heard the woman’s voice in his headset as she said, “No. 2 and No. 3, take off. No. 4 and No. 5, start your engines. No. 6 and No. 7, start preparing!”Puzzled, Reuben thought to himself, ‘What the hell? What’s with No. 2, 3, 4, and 5? What is she talking about?’As he was in puzzlement, his assistant who was sitting next to him pointed to the roofs of two other buildings on both sides of the window and said in surprise, “Mr. Moore, two helicopters are flying on the roofs of those two buildings, and they are exactly the same as the one we’re sitting on!”Reuben turned to look, and it was true!There were two identical helicopters on the left and right sides taking off simultaneously and synchronously.Those two helic
As Reuben watched the helicopters take off in fours, the fleet quickly expanded to nearly twenty helicopters, which made him feel bewildered and shocked!Unable to comprehend the current situation, he thought to himself, ‘What the hell is this?! Are twenty helicopters truly necessary just for a fifteen-kilometer journey?! This is unbelievable!’‘Besides, who is Charlie’s friend in Tokyo anyway? Renting twenty helicopters requires a lot of money! Why are they so wasteful?!’Tokyo citizens were also stunned by the convoy of helicopters howling in the sky at this moment. They all stopped and looked up, wondering if something big had happened or what kind of big shot had visited the city.Reuben started to feel uneasy and jittery as he couldn’t figure out Charlie’s motive.Although he was not close to Charlie, nor were they friends, they could regard each other as acquaintances. If they wanted to meet, they could set a time and venue to meet. Why did Charlie have to do all this?!At
Reuben now realized that Charlie seemed to have extraordinary connections here in Japan!The helicopter landed on the lawn of the Ito residence’s backyard.As soon as the helicopter had landed, twenty men in black immediately ran over neatly and lined up formidably on both sides of the hatch.At this moment, the beautiful woman inside the helicopter opened the hatch wide and took the lead to jump down before saying to Reuben, “Mr. Moore, this way please!”Reuben swallowed nervously. His heart was drumming nervously as he stepped down from the helicopter in apprehension.The woman said, “Mr. Moore, please follow me. Mr. Wade and our Young Miss are already waiting for you in the lounge.”Reuben hurriedly asked with a humble tone, “May I know who exactly is your Young Miss?”The woman answered with a smile, “When you meet her later, she will definitely tell you herself in regards to her identity.”Reuben managed an indifferent smile, but in fact, he was so panicked that his heart
Reuben felt that his views on life, values, and worldview had been completely turned upside down in an instant!He never would have guessed that Charlie would know the young miss of the Ito family!What was even more frightening was that Miss Ito was wearing a kimono, kneeling opposite Charlie, and respectfully serving him tea like a waitress.This was simply unbelievable!Reuben wailed internally in despair as he stared at the scene in disbelief. ‘What the hell is this? Do the Japanese believe in Feng Shui and metaphysics too? How else could Charlie have fooled Ito Nanako, then?!’Just when his mind was overwhelmed with shock and bewilderment, Charlie waved at him with a wide grin as if he had seen his friend’s son and said, “Hey, Reuben, come quick! Come and have a seat.”Reuben was even more puzzled when he looked at Charlie’s calm demeanor and thought to himself, ‘He and Jasmine are quite close, but why is he so calm after Jasmine has gone missing for so long? He’s already
Having a guilty conscience, Reuben hastily lowered his head and said in a pretentiously respectful tone, “The Police Department has sent many people to search for her in Nishitama District, but they haven’t found her whereabouts yet.”With that, he hurriedly added, “However, they are increasing the manpower and police force to expand the search area. I hope they can find valuable clues as soon as possible, and of course, it’s best to find where Jasmine is in the fastest way possible.”Charlie waved his hand and said flatly, “No, that’s not what I’m asking. I want to know whether the Tokyo Police Department has given a verdict or an assumption on this incident as accidental or intentional homicide.”When Reuben heard the word “intentional homicide”, it sent chills down his spine, and his heart skipped a beat in panic. He felt cold sweat starting to seep out from his back, but fortunately, he was wearing a jacket, so it was unnoticeable.In fact, the police department had a clear dir
When Nanako announced her determination to Charlie, Reuben immediately started to make plans to secretly leave Japan as soon as possible.He knew that as long as the Ito family intervened, it would not take long for him to be exposed, and if he was still in Japan at the moment of the revelation, he would not stand a chance to return to Oskia alive, because he knew very well that Charlie would not let him go!The only way out right now was to leave Japan before he was exposed and return to Oskia to wipe out Lord Moore and take over the entire Moore family.If he could take over all of the Moore family’s assets, he could start a proper battle with Charlie. After all, the Moore family’s assets were worth one to two hundred billion dollars—a so-called Master Wade would not be able to withstand their power and influence!Charlie looked at Reuben, who was donning a somewhat fidgety look, and asked deliberately, “Reuben, why do you look like you are in a daze? Are you okay?”Reuben quick
