As soon as Charlie’s voice fell, he had already rushed out directly at a very fast speed!His physical abilities and speed had already exceeded any ordinary person’s to great extents, so it was basically impossible for these ninjas to stand a chance against him at all.Whenever he caught one of them, he would punch them hard directly in their abdomen. So, these ninjas instantly lost all of their fighting power and any opportunity that they had to escape.In the blink of an eye, the six ninjas who were desperately trying to escape were all lying down on the ground next to one another.Sophie was dumbfounded!As the eldest granddaughter of the Schulz family and as one of the grandchildren who had been favored the most, she had been in contact with many of the hidden masters who had worked for the Schulz family from childhood. However, in her opinion, Charlie’s strength and abilities certainly surpassed that of all of those masters!What she could not understand was that it had been
Sophie hurriedly asked, “Benefactor! I was wondering if you could lend me your cell phone? I want to call home but I’ve already lost my cell phone…”Sophie was telling him that she wanted to use his cell phone to call home, but in fact, she was actually trying to make use of this opportunity to get Charlie’s phone number.It was the information age now. As long as she could get hold of the other party’s phone number, then Sophie would be able to easily find out the other party’s identity and all the information about him then.If this was the case, then she would be able to find her benefactor after returning home.Charlie could see right through the other party’s tricks and he sneered as he said, “I’m sorry but my cell phone is my personal belonging so I can’t simply lend it to you.”After he was done speaking, Charlie reached out his hand and took out a cell phone from one of the ninjas’ bodies before he threw it directly at Sophie. “Here. Use this and call your family instead.
Sophie’s self-esteem was once again hurt because of Charlie’s attitude.She looked at Charlie’s side profile as she bit her lower lip without saying anything else anymore. After that, she turned around and left the courtyard with her brother.After the pair of siblings had staggered out of the courtyard, Jaime asked in a soft voice, “Sophie, were all of those ninjas defeated by that young man just now?”Sophie replied solemnly, “He is not ‘that young man’. He is our benefactor.”Jaime nodded in a hurry as he said, “Yes, okay. He is indeed our benefactor. So, Sophie, did our benefactor defeat all of those ninjas with his bare hands, then?”“Yes.” Sophie replied earnestly, “I have never seen such a strong and powerful person… this is truly the first time…”Jaime smacked his lips together as he said, “It would be great if we could take him into the Schulz family and get him to work for us!”“That is impossible.” Sophie shook his head before she said, “Our benefactor has such a toug
Tokyo at this moment.It was still very chaotic at this time.The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was about to go insane.Firstly, the pair of siblings from the Schulz family was kidnapped, and more than a dozen of their men were murdered. Secondly, the Takahashi family had found several human popsicles. And then, Machi’s son was actually burned alive inside the car!Any one of these cases could easily be regarded as the criminal case of the year.However, these cases were happening consecutively, one after the other, in Tokyo!Moreover, the victims of these criminal cases were all from wealthy and influential families.This matter was simply slamming the faces of the police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to the ground before hitting them repeatedly with a belt!What was even worse was the fact that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had not found any useful or relevant clues or evidence yet.A bunch of useless people had already searched throu
In truth, Sheldon had highly suspected that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of his children was none other than Yahiko.However, the police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had already been secretly monitoring Yahiko for quite some time, but they could not find any clues at all even after so long.At first, Sheldon even thought that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was deliberately trying to protect Yahiko. However, now, he finally realized that Yahiko truly had nothing to do with this matter at all.He not only had anything to do with this matter, but he had nearly become the scapegoat to shoulder the blame for this crime!What Sheldon would never have expected was that the mastermind behind this whole incident had turned out to be Yoshito instead!Sheldon did not even include him in the list of suspects at all!It seemed as though Yoshito was really a very vicious and sinister person!He was actually able to provoke and cause so many incident
About a hundred hidden top masters working for the Schulz family secretly stopped searching for Jaime and Sophie. Twenty of them drove directly to Kyoto in the middle of the night, whereas the remaining eighty top masters were all starting to assemble at the Matsumoto family mansion.Yoshito did not even know that he was already faced with imminent disaster.He checked the time, and he saw that it was already ten o’clock at night. So, he took out his cell phone to call Jonin.According to his plan, Jonin was supposed to kill the pair of siblings now before hiding their corpses in the Ito family mansion within the next half an hour.After that, he would wait patiently for a few more hours. When the corpses had already lost almost all of their residual body temperature and turned cold, he would make an anonymous police report to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department about this matter.This way, Yahiko would be done for early in the morning tomorrow.After Yahiko was done for, hi
Neither Yoshito nor Machi could understand what was happening in Kyoto.However, Yoshito was much smarter compared to Machi.After he was unable to contact Jonin, although he could not understand why, he subconsciously realized that there was probably some sort of big mistake.As he thought about this, Yoshito hurriedly called the other members of the Iga family and immediately asked them about Jonin’s situation.However, the people from the Iga family were also all completely ignorant of everything that was going on in Kyoto.They could not get in touch with Jonin, and they did not even know if he was dead or alive.Yoshito was genuinely panicking at this time.He paced back and forth in the living room of his home anxiously. His brows were constantly knitted together, and his hand was shaking uncontrollably as he held the cigar.When his younger brother, Ryosuke, saw him being extremely nervous, he hurriedly calmed him down, “Brother, you should not start panicking now. If yo
“Okay!” Ryosuke had a grim expression on his face as he said, “Even if we were to die, we will have to drag them down with us so that they can die together with us! Anyway, we will not lose anything even if we lose or win!”***At this moment.After Charlie had set the two-story building on fire, he returned to the Ito family mansion.He continued using the original path before he entered Nanako’s courtyard.At this time, Nanako was sitting in front of the tea table. Her eyes were closed, and she was gently twisting a string of Bodhi beads in both of her hands as she silently recited the Buddhist scriptures to pray for Charlie.Buddhism was not only prevalent in Oskia, but it had also been prevalent in Japan for a very long time. Ever since Master Jianzhen had traveled east to Japan, Buddhism had already begun developing rapidly in Japan.Although Buddhism in both of these countries was somewhat different, there was no essential difference between the beliefs of the Buddhists in
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
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
