Yahiko sighed after Charlie rejected his suggestion.He really hoped Charlie could be involved in the shipping industry.That was because, at the moment, Oskia would be the most profitable customer in the Asia shipping industry.Oskia had occupied more than half of the world’s top ten most bustling ports. Only a business empire with a massive amount of import and export trading could support a huge shipping industry.This was beyond the reach of Japan.As such, despite the Ito family having the intention to do the business, it would be a fruitless attempt due to lack of demand from the local market.He faced Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, the Ito family business will be passed on to Nanako in the future. Should you change your mind, you may contact her at any time. I believe you both will form a great partnership.”Charlie nodded his head gently, then answered thoughtfully, “If I change my mind, I’ll surely contact Ms. Nanako.”Yahiko smiled and said, “Nanako is a good girl. I dare

Very soon, Emi had arranged a team to go with Charlie, who was in his own car.Nanako sat in Charlie’s car without hesitation.Charlie drove his car to the Ito family’s mansion in Tokyo under the escort of the team.Tokyo was one of the world’s cities with the highest housing and land market price as each acre of land was very costly. Nonetheless, the Ito family had a private manor located in a quiet environment.The design of the manor was in a Japanese vintage style—quaint but elegant.Charlie could see that the wooden materials used in each room were distinctive.Apparently, the filthy-rich ones had too much wealth and had nowhere to spend. Thus, they would spend as extravagantly as they could during their house construction and renovation. They would spend lavishly on all the exported high-end stuff over the local and lower-end stuff. In other words, they would only spend on luxurious goods.All of the servants in the Ito Family’s mansion were dressed neatly and stood resp

Without a moment of hesitation, Charlie answered, “Say it. I promise I’ll give it my all.”Nanako hesitated for a while, then she looked at him expectantly and said in a serious tone, “I hope you can depart a while later….”“Later?” Charlie was slightly stunned, then he asked subconsciously, “How long do you mean by a while? To be frank with you, I plan to return to my home country tonight. My airplane is on standby in Osaka.”Nanako felt the heat around her eyelids, then her eyelids drooped slightly, and she said in a faint voice, “That… will depend on Charlie-kun’s time arrangement. It doesn’t matter even if you manage to delay it for a few more hours…..”Nanako then added hurriedly, “Please don’t misunderstand. The main reason is because my father and Tanaka were seriously injured. Then, my aunt is fully occupied. Not only does she have to settle our family’s affairs, but she also has to take care of them…..”“Moreover, I am confused myself and don’t know how I should begin. Th

Charlie looked around. He did not have any particular preference for any of those scrumptious cuisines. He then smiled and said, “Just get me a bowl of ramen, thank you.”Nanako immediately spoke to the chef who was an expert in the making of ramen, “Kuwa-san, please get two bowls of ramen ready. Please prepare double portions of noodles for Charlie-kun’s!”The chef answered respectfully, “Understood, Miss. Please be seated, and we will serve you in a while.”At the same moment.While Charlie and Nanako were enjoying their breakfast at the Ito family’s mansion, a man in his fifties had just woken up in his presidential suite at St Regis Hotel, Tokyo.He held a cup of coffee and a cigarette as he gazed at Tokyo’s street view at dawn outside of his window.When the cigarette burned out, he poked the cigarette butt into the ashtray and lit another one. He asked his faithful servant who stood beside him, “How are the young master and miss now?”Yasin Zuniga checked the time, then an

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

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with

At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I

As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.

Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli

Jacob turned his phone's loudspeaker on before switching panels to Twitter.He was already shocked to find dozens of people directly messaging him, and he was naturally curious why so many of them were looking for him while he was on his trip to Dubai.However, he had no time to find out as he promptly tapped on his social feed, and it took much swiping to reach Zachary's apology post.He tapped on it, scanning through it just before he went dizzy, the world spinning around him while a dull hum rang in his ears.Never would he have expected Zachary to spill the beans, leaking every detail including Jacob's name and contact information. What was that if not mutual destruction?!Absolutely furious, he bellowed at Zachary again, "What the fuck is this?! Are you trying to kill me, posting this shit?!""I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, but I've come to understand how grave of a mistake I've made," Zachary calmly replied. "I've actually visited Treasure Measure earlier to apologize to Mr. Cole

Within hours, Jacob and Elaine's flight had landed at Dubai International Airport, and the first thing he did was turn off his phone's flight mode.Then, staring at the upper right corner, he waited for the phone to find a network signal.He had connected to international data roaming, and within a few dozen seconds, he was connected to the internet.Once he did, a ton of notifications popped up on his phone, but he didn't care to check any of them and instead opened his contacts and called Zachary.Zachary was in his office, ready to do his usual rounds inspecting Don Albert's premises.While he had indeed completely lost his reputation at Aurous Hill's Antique Street after pinning that post on top of his social page and was given plenty of weird looks by people around him, he didn't care because he knew how to prioritize.Right now, the most important thing that he had to do was put all his body and spirit into his work and not get distracted by anything else.Only then could

The man who had called out to him shrugged. "Zachary posted it on his account. Check it out yourself!"Mick promptly tapped out of his message editor, refreshed his social feed, and immediately saw Zachary's apology post.Once he tapped on it and read it, he almost had a stroke and was cursing before he knew it, "Fuck technology! It's like a self-exploding truck! Fuck you, Zachary Evans, blowing yourself up before I could end you! What a bitch!" Naturally, the post also made Jacob infamous.The Calligraphy and Painting Association more or less had a stake in the antique trade, and the members were shocked that Jacob was involved in such a scandal.Within minutes, word reached Mr. Bay, leaving him pacing around in his office anxiously.Mr. Bay was eager to suck up to Jacob too, which was why he had intended to let Jacob inherit his position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association after he was promoted.But while he thought it was as good as done, he didn't expec
