In a heated moment, Ichiro shouted, “My father passed away suddenly after taking your medicine. Are you really saying it’s not rted to the medicine?”
Charlie simply shrugged and replied, “Weren’t you the one who stole the medicine? Do you even remember how this all unfolded? You took it upon yourself to rob and steal the medicine. Let me make this clear: you were the one who stole it! Do you understand? I didn’t give you anything.”
He continued, “You were the one who procured the poison all by yourself and arranged for it to be delivered to your father. After taking that poison, he died. This is entirely your doing. So, what part of this is my responsibility? Did I ever instruct you to steal poison from Dr. Simmons?”
At this point, Ichiro was left utterly speechless.<fn8059> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on F?ndNovel</fn8059>
Charlie was right—Ichiro had indeed sent his men to steal the medicine from Anthony. However, he never anticipated that the so-called magical pills he had taken were actually poison!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Even if Anthony and Charlie had conspired against him, he knew he had no grounds for awsuit or revenge. After all, he was the thief in this situation, and the consequences of his actions were entirely his own doing.
Ichiro realized that no one in his family, especially his younger brother, would ever forgive him. They would surely use him of causing their father’s death!
Overwhelmed with despair, Ichiro knelt before Charlie, weeping and pleading, “Mr. Wade, I acknowledge that everything that happened is my fault! My malicious intent led to this tragedy. I was the one who sent my men to rob Dr. Simmons of his so-called magic medicine. Please, spare my life considering that I indirectly helped you gain ten billion dors. If you don’t, I’m truly finished…”
Charlie nodded and said, “I can provide you with temporary shelter at the dog farm. If you remain there, your brother and the Japanese gang will be unable to find you.”
Relieved, Ichiro quickly bowed to Charlie, expressing his gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. Thank you!”
Charlie responded, “I appreciate your thanks, but you shouldn’t just sit idly by waiting for your demise. You need to contribute and earn your keep here.”
He continued, “Here’s what we’ll do: you’ll assist at the dog farm by taking care of the dogs, walking them, and cleaning up after them.”
Though Ichiro was not thrilled about this arrangement, he dared not voice his dissatisfaction. Instead, he nodded repeatedly, saying, “Of course, Mr. Wade. I’ll get it all done.”
Satisfied, Charlie turned to Albert and instructed, “Albert, please make all the necessary arrangements. Let him stay and help you at the dog farm, and keep an eye on him for me.”
Albert responded respectfully, “Mr. Wade, I’ll take care of everything right away.”
Charlie nodded and said, “Ichiro, you can go with Albert now.”
Ichiro quickly got up and followed Albert into the night, a grateful expression on his face.
Once they left, Isaac stepped forward cautiously and asked, “Mr. Wade, are you really going to keep this Japanese man at the dog farm?”
Charlie smiled and replied, “I’m only keeping him there temporarily while waiting for his brother to offer a bounty for his head. As long as Ichiro is alive, his brother’s position as chairman of Kobayashi Pharma will be unstable. The more he struggles to find Ichiro, the more desperate he’ll be. I n to sell him to his brother when the price reaches one or two billion dors.”
Isaac was taken aback and said, “If that’s the case, Ichiro is surely doomed!”
“He deserves it!” Charlie sneered. “Kobayashi Pharma has repeatedly giarized ancient Chinese medicine, and now Ichiro hase to Aurous Hill to steal from Dr. Simmons. They’ve been invading our country for ages, and they dare to rob us? We must ensure they face the consequences for their actions. Otherwise, we’ll be ridiculed for not standing up for ourselves!”
Isaac remarked, “Mr. Wade, doesn’t this count as kidnapping? Plus, you’ve already extorted ten billion dors from them! They’ve lost their father because of this. Hasn’t the Kobayashi family suffered enough for their crimes?”
Charlie smiled slightly and replied, “This isn’t enough at all. Ichiro must pay for his actions! Otherwise, he’ll think he cane to Aurous Hill to cheat, deceive, and steal whenever he pleases! He must be delusional if he believes he can escape the consequences of his actions!”
