As soon as Charlie stepped out of Thompson First, the bus’s automatic door creaked open slowly.


    Isaac Cameron rushed out of the car and greeted Charlie with respect, saying, “Master, everything is ready and we’re just waiting for you.”


    Charlie acknowledged him with a nod and climbed onto the bus. Inside, he noticed that over forty young adults were packed in, all appearing strong and determined; they clearly belonged to a practicing family.


    Upon seeing Charlie, the group stood up in unison and bowed, eximing, “Hello, Master!”


    Isaac Cameron quickly added, “Master, these are the men I have trained over the years. They are my trusted followers, so you can be assured!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Feeling pleased, Charlie responded, “Please take your seats. Everyone must give their all for tonight’s mission. We must seed—failure is not an option!”


    The group responded enthusiastically, “Master, don’t worry! We will do our utmost!”


    Charlie then turned to Isaac Cameron, instructing, “Have the driver speed up; we need to get there as soon as possible!”


    “Understood, Master!” Isaac replied.


    The Oracle Pharmaceutical site is situated in an industrial park on the outskirts of Aurous Hill City, roughly twenty to thirty kilometers from the city center.


    The route predominantly consists of expressways, which are typically busy, making it unlikely for Jiro Kobayashi to make a move there.


    However, after exiting the expressway, there’s a stretch of road leading to the pharmaceutical factory that sees fewer vehicles—a prime spot for an ambush.


    Both Charlie and Isaac Cameron believed that Jiro Kobayashi would certainly opt for this location to execute his ns.


    Consequently, Charlie promptly called Liam, advising him not to leave Oracle Pharmaceutical just yet. He assured Liam that he and Isaac Cameron would be on their way soon.


    Liam readily agreed without hesitation.


    At this point, Liam hadplete faith in Charlie.<fn0461> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n Find[?]ovel</fn0461>


    From the very first time Charlie assisted him in oveing Weaver’s Pharmaceuticals and even managed to send his father and half-brother to Golim Mountain, Liam had developed a strong desire to serve Charlie.


    During the recent events in Golim Mountain, when Charlie single-handedly defeated the Eight Heavenly Kings, Liam made a silent vow to follow Charlie for life.


    Now, every word Charlie uttered resonated with him as a guiding principle.


    Meanwhile, Jiro Kobayashi was seated in his luxurious Toyota Alfa business car.


    His vehicle had reached a sharp 90-degree bend on the national highway.


    This particr spot obscured the view of the opposite side of the curve, making it an ideal location for an ambush.


    Once a driver navigated the turn and encountered a roadblock, it would be futile to attempt a turnaround.


    Due to the unique terrain, traffic police often conducted drunk driving checks in such areas on weekends and holidays. A vehicle turning the corner could easily find itself in a situation where there was no time or opportunity to escape if they stumbled upon a checkpoint.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
