With a mix of hope and desperation in his eyes, he turned to Jiro Kobayashi and pleaded, “Mr. Kobayashi… I’m asking for your help with the old man this time…”


    Jiro Kobayashi appeared visibly ufortable.


    If Nanako were requesting his assistance in other matters, he would certainly do everything in his power to win her favor. However, she had even asked him to covertly send Yamamoto Kazuki back to Japan, right under Charlie’s watchful eye!


    This felt like a betrayal of their own!


    Though they may not fully grasp the extent of Charlie’s terrifying reputation or the ruthlessness of his methods, they were acutely aware of who he was!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Years ago, Jiro’s older brother had fallen into Charlie’s clutches while in Aurous Hill!


    At the time, the Kobayashi family’s private jet was stationed at Aurous Hill Airport. If his brother had managed to board that ne, he could have safely returned to Tokyo.


    But what happened instead?


    The ne made it back to Tokyo, but his brother did not.


    Moreover, the Kobayashi family suffered a staggering loss of nearly 2 billion US dors at Charlie’s hands.


    For decades, the Kobayashi family has built their legacy in Japan. When have they ever faced such a malevolent force?


    Thus, even if it meant sacrificing himself, Jiro wouldn’t dare to cross Charlie!


    Noticing Jiro Kobayashi’s troubled expression, Nanako Ito couldn’t hold back and asked, “Mr. Kobayashi, is there something you’re not telling us?”


    With a heavy sigh, Jiro replied candidly, “Miss Nanako, let me be honest. Mr. Wade’s real name is Charlie, and I… I…”


    “What is it, Mr. Kobayashi? Don’t beat around the bush; just tell me!” Nanako pressed.


    Jiro’s face flushed, and he looked down, muttering, “I can’t afford to offend him…”


    “What?!”


    Both Nanako Ito and Kazuki Yamamoto were taken aback!


    They never imagined that Jiro Kobayashi, who was so concerned with appearances, would openly admit to feeling intimidated by Charlie in front of them.<fna320> The source of th?s content is Find1Novel</fna320>


    From his demeanor, it was clear that Charlie was genuinely fearsome!


    Putting aside his pride, Jiro continued, “You both need to understand, across all of China and even the world, the one person I can’t afford to cross is Charlie Wade. I’ve looked into some of his notorious deeds, and to be frank, he’s like a devil!”


    As he spoke, he quickly pulled out his phone, navigating to TikTok to find a specific video featuring Mr. Lloyd and his son Marcus. He eximed, “Look at this! This isn’t the first time he’s branded someone! In this video, he instructed them to engrave these words on their foreheads.”


    Nanako Ito and Kazuki Yamamoto watched in shock as the video yed, showing the father and son performing their act. The sight of the words “Pathetic Jerk” etched on their foreheads was undeniably tragic!


    With palpable fear still evident, Jiro exined, “ording to my investigation, this father and son angered Charlie, which is why he marked them like this. He has a long history of wicked deeds; his crimes are far-reaching. If I were to help Mr. Yamamoto escape from China today, it’s not just about whether we could get away. Even if we did manage to flee… he would undoubtedly track us down…”
