Yoshitaka nodded in realization at Charlie's words—it was a simple plan, but he just wasn't thinking.The mob bosses' authority after being sent to prison wasn't based on their influence before they were jailed, but on how much influence they still had after.If Yoshitaka pressured their respective successors enough once Makoto and Yukihiro were incarcerated, their own successors might even send people into prison to kill them. Just making their lives difficult was way easier in comparison!Relieved once he understood the simplicity of the situation, he smiled, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Wade. In that case, I'll just leave them be for now and have their own buddies make life hard for them in prison!"Then, turning to the Tokyo Commissioner, he added, "Commissioner, it's only right that you make the yakuza pay for causing you so much trouble!"The Tokyo Commissioner quickly nodded. "Of course, Mr. Mitsui! They are a lawless bunch that needs some serious correction. In fact, I've alrea

"Shit!" Matt turned pale as his crimes stacked, immediately uneasy. "Well, I guess the only thing to do is rescind the bounty… But what do you think Julien would do to me?"The blonde lackey pointed out, "Actually, Sir, with Julien making such a statement, our friends will be watching how things turn out from here. So, I'm sure he won't make things difficult if you rescind the bounty in time and apologize to Julien personally… I mean, his reputation would take a nosedive if he didn't honor his own request."The basic logic here is this—you posted the bounty first, and he only made his statement to demand it be rescinded afterward. That's why the bounty wasn't an act of provocation, and if you show him due respect promptly, he should take a step back, too. Don't you agree?"Matt's expression calmed at those words, and he nodded. "That makes sense… I wasn't aware that Tanya was friends with the Rothschilds, or I would have just fled the country and never returned. There's no way I'd

Matt was no idiot.Even if Julien was talking down to him, labeling him and his criminal magnates feral dogs, Julien was still trying to tell him that he was the only one who could bail him out at this point.Moreover, Matt himself had so many dirty secrets that if he couldn't kill Tanya, others would be coming for him.But while death was his only escape before, things were different now that someone was willing to 'adopt' him, and it was the heir to the Rothschild family at that.Once he had Julien's protection, no one would ever dare hurt him!With that in mind, he exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, Mr. Rothschild! If you're willing to save my life, you won't hear any argument from me, no matter what you tell me to do!"Julien chuckled, "Alright. In that case, have your plane turn around and return to New York. I'll have my men pick you up.""Yes, I'll talk to the pilot right away!" Matt replied right away.And so, within minutes, the private jet made a full turn around the oceanic

The more they spoke, the less Charlie thought of Yoshitaka.Even with his impressive social status and family background, his personal abilities and insight were definitely lacking.Still, considering that Kokomi was Nanako's best friend, he could only see it through to the end.With Tanya's problem solved, he told Yoshitaka, "It's about time to send in your brother."Yoshitaka was immediately thrilled, his jaw tightening as he snarled, "I won't lie, Mr. Wade. I can't wait to see the look of shock on his face!"Charlie, however, wasn't in the mood to stay and said, "I'm sure he can't cause more problems with the commissioner and Hanzo here, so I'm not going to stay.""You're leaving now, Mr. Wade?" Yoshitaka quickly asked."Yes," Charlie nodded. "Do try to clean up well. I'd rather not be bothered by the local police later.""Don't worry, Sir!" Yoshitaka quickly assured him. "I'll definitely clean up properly and not get you into any trouble!"Charlie nodded in satisfaction an

After Charlie returned to his hotel, he received a friend request from Tanya.Once he approved it, she told him that Yoshiyasu had already been subdued by Hanzo and the Iga Ninjas while she, Trevor, and Kokomi had retired to the Mitsui Residence.She also thanked Charlie, who had heard enough thanks for the day.He simply texted back: [It's been a long day. Get some rest.]Tanya would have liked to chat a bit more with Charlie, but she could see that he wasn't interested and replied tactfully: [Yes, Mr. Wade. You should get some rest, too. Thank you very much for today.]-When Charlie returned to the hotel, both Loreen and Claire were refreshing their social feeds repeatedly.Heaven knows what had happened at Tokyo Dome with all those police helicopters hovering around, so speculation naturally veered toward an incident, or they wouldn't be there for no reason.Seeing Charlie, Claire quickly asked, "Dear, did something serious happen at Tokyo Dome? There are so many videos of
