After that, Charlie stood up before he returned to the room that the Ito family had arranged for him.After returning to his room, Charlie took out two clean glasses from the coffee table. After that, he poured half a glass of water into the two glasses.After pouring the water, Charlie took out a Rejuvenating Pill from his pocket.Charlie scraped off some powder from the Rejuvenating Pill and the powder melted immediately after falling into the water.Charlie only used about one-tenth of the Rejuvenating Pill for the two cups of water.Charlie was not being stingy.The main reason was simply because these two men’s conditions were different and their need and demand for the Rejuvenating Pill were not great.Firstly, Yahiko was physically weak, mainly because of the injuries and shock that he had suffered during the accident, and also the damage to his vitality after the amputation surgery.In this case, a small amount of the Rejuvenating Pill would be sufficient to replenish t
While the two of them were in shock, Charlie looked at Shinwa and happily said, “Come, Mr. Watanabe, give me your hand. I’ll help you to check your pulse.” Shinwa was in the midst of indulging in the nourishment of his warm body. After hearing Charlie’s words, he hastily nodded his head and replied, “Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Wade!” After he spoke, he immediately stretched out his hand. Charlie took Shinwa’s pulse, and a surge of faint reiki was channeled into his meridians. The reiki was enough to ensure that he would be able to continuously produce sperms, which would regain his manhood. At this moment, Shinwa could not help but think of his beloved wife. While he was recalling the tender moments they had, he suddenly felt that his body had some unusual movements! These unusual movements were followed by strong urges, which made him overjoyed! “So… So… The method goes into effect so fast?!”Shinwa was so emotional that his whole body was shivering
To a normal person, two to three billion was indeed astronomical. But to Shinwa, it was only one to two percent of his total assets. To a man who had lost his manhood, spending one to two percent of his total assets to regain his coveted strength was an offer too hard to resist. Most certainly, not a single man in this world would reject it. Shinwa was very excited and blurted out, “Mr. Wade, how long would this ability last?” Charlie smiled lightly and answered, “It’s enough for twenty years. By that time, you would be nearly seventy—old but strong. If you take good care of yourself, maintaining this condition till seventy isn’t impossible.”Shinwa’s face was red with excitement. In a shaky voice, he said, “Twenty years?! This… this is too good to be true! Brilliant… really brilliant!”Yahiko who was beside added, “Shinwa, since Mr. Wade helped you fill your emptiness, then you should allow Nanako to bring back Ms. Moore. But first, sign the agreement!”“Right!” Shinwa answe
At that moment, Shiwa immediately spoke to a vile-faced Jasmine, “Ms. Moore, Mr. Wade have discussed with me in detail and we both agreed. I’ve decided to adjust the clause in the agreement.” Feeling astonished, Jasmine hurriedly asked, “Mr. Watanabe, how do you plan to adjust?” Shinwa laughed and answered, “Both parties will invest according to the fifty to fifty ratio. But in terms of stock ownership, your company will have 60% of shares, and Nippon Steel will have 40%!” Jasmine was gobsmacked! She could not understand—why would Shinwa do this?! Why would he give up ten percent of his shares? The next moment, she immediately looked at Charlie. Her sixth sense told her that he must have had discussed new terms with Shinwa while she was away with Nanako! Jasmine was astonished. ‘What did Charlie do to cause Shinwa to make such a drastic move? In turn, wouldn’t it be me who now owes him a favor, because of Charlie?’ Thinking of this made Jasmine ter
Shinwa was ecstatic! To become a complete man again was not the most important. In fact, to get acquainted with Charlie who had magical powers, would bring more benefits than one could ever imagine. Therefore, this piece of business was very worth it. Yahiko, who was beside, was equally emotional. After drinking the cup of water that Charlie had given him, he felt that his body was significantly more robust.He had always been slightly weak all this while. It was as if the wind blew, he would collapse. However now, he could sense that his strength and spirit were boosted.Besides the incurable pair of crippled legs, he felt almost the same as before his injury. Perhaps even slightly stronger this time around. To him, this was a great advantage. After all, when his physical and mental strength has largely recovered, he could prepare for recuperation training. The recuperation training for the disabled and amputees was very exhausting. Those who were weak would not be abl
At this moment at Tokyo’s airport.A soldier from the Japanese defense force used a cargo plane to land at the airport. The C2 type cargo plane was used by the army. It was reworked and developed in Kawasaki, Japan. Its full capacity was more than thirty tonnes. In the cabin of the cargo plane, hundreds of heavily armed Japanese self-defense troops were escorting Rosalie and the other fifty or more top masters. Their duty was to send Rosalie and the others to Tokyo and hand them over to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. There would be a trial in Tokyo for the massacre of the Matsumoto family in a few days. By that time, including Rosalie and all of the others would have a court hearing as the accused. The Japanese Justice Department prepared to conduct a public hearing on Rosalie and the others. At the same time, local televisions and the internet would broadcast this nationally, and even to the world. The reason this incident gathered so much momentum was because
One of them was holding a remote control in his hand as he kept an eye on the leader of the convoy and continued counting the time.When the convoy was less than fifty meters away from the intersection, the man activated the remote, and the green light began flashing before it quickly turned red.As the airport operated twenty-four hours a day, the volume of traffic was relatively busy. For the fleet of Tokyo Metropolitan Police, the traffic order had to be observed as well.Therefore, the first armored vehicle was stopped directly at the front of the straight road.The convoy behind also slowly came to a stop.The traffic light in this area controlled all four directions of the crossroad. Each section would turn green for about a minute each. Therefore, the wait for the red light to turn green would have taken approximately one hundred and eighty seconds.The special forces in the armored vehicle were all on standby in case any abnormalities occurred in their surroundings.Fort
Ito Residence in downtown Tokyo.Charlie and Jasmine were well prepared and ready to leave.Tonight would be a good time for them to commence their smuggling operation.This was because the Coast Guard patrol was about to perform an equipment inspection.Therefore, there would be a few hours where there were no guards at the coast.Also, the Japanese Coast Guard was strict with their entry inspection, but they were lenient with their exit inspection. This was mainly because they were placing more focus and were trying their best to do everything possible to prevent the smuggling of illegal immigrants and goods into Japan.They had little interest in the smuggling of people and goods out of Japan.Therefore, it was actually easier to leave Tokyo via this route.Yahiko had already prepared the convoy and had planned to send Charlie and Jasmine to the docks personally.Nanako too had this same idea.As much as her heart heaved heavily, hoping that Charlie would stay, she knew de
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
