    Ichiro was overwhelmed with fear, tears streaming down his face as Charlie spoke.


    Despite not being a bad person, he was a wealthy young lord who aimed to bring honor to his family through his actions.


    Now, however, he found himself ensnared by Charlie, trapped in a dog farm, where he could be devoured by vicious dogs at any moment. Naturally, Ichiro felt both terrified and regretful.


    With desperation in his voice, he pleaded, “Mr. Wade, I’m begging you. Just give me a number. I promise to pay whatever you ask! If not, I can call my father and ask him to instruct the crew to turn the ne around and head back to Aurous Hill immediately. I’ll return the magical pill to you directly. Would that work for you?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie retorted, “Are you seriously trying to deceive me right now? Do you really think I’m that gullible? I know there are manypanies with advancedponent analysis equipment. With just a sample, you could figure out all the ingredients of a medicinal product in minutes. Kobayashi Pharma is a major pharmaceuticalpany; you must have such technology, right?”


    Ichiro nodded through his tears, “Yes, we do have that kind of equipment. But I didn’t bring it with me to Aurous Hill! So, Mr. Wade, you can be assured that unless the magical pills reach the Kobayashi Pharmab, we won’t be able to analyze their ingredients.”


    Charlie scoffed, replying, “Do you really expect me to believe that? For all I know, you could have the equipment on your ne. You might already have a list of the magical pill’s ingredients. You could have even had someone scrape off a bit of the pill, and that tiny sample would be enough for you to analyze!”


    Ichiro, still sobbing, responded, “Mr. Wade, I swear on my honor that I’m not lying…”


    Charlie pped him across the face, eximing, “You’re a thief and a robber, and you dare to talk about honor in front of me?”


    Ichiro was left speechless.


    Charlie was right; he was indeed a thief, and it was quite ironic for him to speak of honor in this situation.


    In a hurry, Ichiro asked, “Mr. Wade, please tell me what I can do. If you propose a solution, I’ll do everything I can to fulfill your request.”


    Charlie replied, “It’s actually quite simple. Since you’ve stolen our magical pill, I can only assume you have the ingredients and form. It would be best for you to pay us directly for the prescription of the magical pills.”


    Ichiro immediately nodded in agreement, “No problem! Absolutely no problem! Mr. Wade, please tell me the price so I can inform my family right away.”<fnff70> The rightful source is ?ovelFind</fnff70>


    Charlie responded coolly, “Ten billion dors. If you don’t pay, not only will I kill you and feed you to the dogs, but I will also expose how someone from Kobayashi Pharma stole another’s prescription on international grounds. That would surely tarnish Kobayashi Pharma’s reputation worldwide!”


    Ichiro was utterly shocked, eximing, “Mr. Wade, ten billion dors is far too much… we… we… we simply don’t have that kind of money…”


    “Are you still trying to negotiate with me at a time like this?” Charlie asked coldly. “I’ve done my research on Kobayashi Pharma. I know yourpany is thriving and that you reported a profit of two billion dors justst year. I also found out that you borrowed a significant amount from the bank to construct Asia’srgest production base in Osaka, Japan. That money must be sitting in Kobayashi Pharma’s bank ount now, right?”


    Ichiro trembled as he exined, “Mr. Wade, the truth is, that money is crucial for Kobayashi Pharma. Moreover, it is under my father’s control, and I don’t have ess to it!”


    Charlie nodded and said, “Alright then! You can call your father and tell him everything right now!”


    Afterward, Charlie instructed Isaac, “Loosen his right hand and hand him the cell phone.”


    Isaacplied, releasing Ichiro’s right hand and giving him his cell phone.
