Sophie’s words made Sheldon very angry.He pointed at Sophie before he said angrily, “You should only say this kind of thing at home. Just wait and see if your grandfather is going to scold you if you say something like that in public!”Sophie took out her cell phone before she smiled and said, “Why don’t I give Grandpa a call now and personally tell grandpa about this matter, then?”“Are you kidding me?!” Sheldon hurriedly said, “Alright, that’s enough. I am not going to continue talking nonsense with you. Nothing has happened yet, anyway. Both of you should hurry up and do your research for your trip to Japan so that you can set off as soon as possible!”Jaime hurriedly said, “Why don’t we do this, then? We will handle this matter according to Sophie’s plan. We will meet up with the Takahashi family first before we meet with the Ito family. As for the departure time, I think that it will be best for us to leave as soon as possible. I will ask the crew to make all the necessary pr
Isaac nodded before he said, “If nothing is going on later in the evening, I will ask him to go over there and experience and see more of the world for himself, then.”Charlie did not go anywhere at all at noon.He was not familiar with Tokyo, and he did not have any affection or interest for this kind of particularly prosperous and modern city.In contrast, he preferred Eastcliff. That city not only had advanced and luxurious high-rise buildings, but there were also many historical sites with hundreds or even thousands of years of history there. The cultural atmosphere and foundation there was very strong compared to Tokyo.However, Charlie did not want to deprive others of the right to go shopping just because he was not interested in it. Therefore, he sent Isaac, Albert, and everyone else out.The group of people went out to the bustling Ginza and Shinjuku to walk and shop around. When they came back, everyone returned with their hands full as they were all carrying various big
Yahiko’s anger was not because he was being unreasonable or simply because he was narrow-minded.During this time, he had already felt upset because everything was not going well for him.Firstly, his beloved daughter had gotten seriously injured. After that, his future son-in-law, Jiro, had disappeared inexplicably.Immediately after that, he had forked out four and a half billion US dollars because he was planning to invest in Kobayashi Pharma.After signing the contract and making the payment to Kobayashi Pharma, Ichiro had suddenly returned and unilaterally declared that the investment contract he had signed with Masayoshi was invalid.Then, Charlie had strongly stated that no shares would be given to him and that he would not receive a refund for the four and a half billion US dollars that he had transferred to Kobayashi Pharma’s account. Yahiko had never seen such a brazen and shameless person in his entire lifetime.If it weren’t because this young lad seemed to have a lit
After thinking about it, he realized that the Japanese followed the Gregorian calendar.Therefore, the biggest and most solemn festival and holiday in Japan should be the New Year.The University of Tokyo seemed to have entered the eve of the winter vacation period at this time, and the students were actively preparing for their examination now.As Charlie walked around the University of Tokyo campus, he could not help but think of Nanako who was studying at this university.If he did not see it with his own eyes, he could not imagine how a girl who looked so weak was actually not only one of the top students in the University of Tokyo but also a very powerful combat and fighting athlete.This girl was very full of contradictions.As he approached the library, Charlie could see posters of Nanako that were still stuck on the street light pole.There was a photo of Nanako wearing a school uniform on the poster, and her smile was very eye-catching.The content on the poster was to
Japan is a country where it was legal for people to form gangs. Therefore, there were various gangs and organizations in this country’s society.The famous movie star, Jackie Chan, had once starred in a movie named . The background of the plot in the movie was about the Japanese yakuza.In Japan, the Yamaguchi Group and the Inagawa-kai were naturally the leader and bosses at the top of the pyramid.However, not all yakuza were from the Yamaguchi Group or the Inagawa-kai.In fact, there were also various small-scale yakuza in various cities and districts.These organizations generally liked to call themselves the Bosozoku.These gangsters from the Bosozoku enjoyed riding on loud bikes and carrying cold weapons with them as they fought out on the streets.Of course, most times, they would often just bully and take advantage of those who were weak and meek so that they could monopolize the streets.When the Oskian girl who was singing and performing saw that a f
Ryuji laughed presumptuously before he gritted his teeth and said, “You actually do not attach any importance to the Bunkyo Bosozoku? Young lad, you are doomed today!”The girl was shocked, and she hurriedly yelled, “Sir, you should just leave now! These men are all members of the Bosozoku! The Bunkyo Bosozoku is one of the most violent gangs in the entire Bunkyo district. You cannot afford to offend them!”Charlie touched his nose slightly before he looked at Ryuji and smiled as he said, “I heard that there are twenty-three districts in Tokyo. Doesn’t that mean that there are at least twenty-three gangs just like the Bunkyo Bosozoku in Tokyo, then?”Ryuji asked angrily, “So what?! The Bunkyo Bosozoku ranks in the top five amongst all the gangs in Tokyo! Can you afford to offend us?”Charlie snorted and said, “I will only know whether I can or cannot afford to offend the Bunkyo Bosozoku after I offend and provoke the gang first!”“B*stard!” One of the gangsters shouted angrily, “Y
Ryuji suddenly felt a bone piercing chill from the soles of his feet and all over his body!He had never seen a person who was as ruthless as Charlie. He not only seemed a little barbaric because of his extraordinary strength, but he also spoke with an infinitely higher level of ruthlessness compared to a regular Bosozoku gang member.When a member of the Bosozoku threatened a person, it would always be with words such as “you were seeking your own death”, “I will beat you to death”, and other meaningless and pointless threats.Sometimes, it would even be possible for them to yell until their voices became hoarse, but in the end, they did not end up fighting at all.However, wasn’t this what it was like in the underground world? Wasn’t it somewhat dependent on their lofty attitude and the respect they commanded? They would only rely on fighting to demonstrate their power after that. But as soon as this young lad spoke, he could just casually say that he was going to take his righ
When Charlie saw that he was about to flee, he immediately wanted to chase after him. The Oskian girl spoke up nervously at this time, “Sir, don’t chase after him anymore! It’s dangerous!”Charlie replied coldly, “I already said that I was going to take both of his arms. So, I cannot go back on my words. Otherwise, our international friends might laugh at us and say that we Oskians do not keep our words at all!”When Ryuji heard Charlie’s remarks, the fear in his heart surged, and he started to run a little faster as he tried his best to escape.Just as he was rushing out to the middle of the road, a car could not stop in time and ended up hitting him and, knocking him down in an instant.After Ryuji got hit by the car, he lost his balance completely and fell toward the side lane.At this time, a convoy of Rolls-Royces was passing by quickly on the side lane.Ryuji lost control of his body, and he fell in front of one of the Rolls-Royce. The Rolls-Royce could not avoid him or sto
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
