As soon as the voice fell, the sound of gunfire erupted all around!


    Once the gunfire gradually subsided, Jiro Kobayashi was left in shock, realizing he waspletely alone.


    Charlie had previously made it clear that tonight, apart from Jiro Kobayashi himself, no one else would remain.


    As a result, Isaac Cameron’s men showed no mercy.


    Jiro Kobayashi’s eyes widened in horror as he spotted his assistant, his driver, and the skilled professionals he had brought from Japan—each of them lying in a pool of blood, their fates unknown. Overwhelmed with despair, he broke down and cried out, “Please! Please don’t kill me! I am the patriarch of the Kobayashi family in Japan and the chairman of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.! Just spare my life, and I will pay any price!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At that moment, a chilling voice cut through the silence: “Jiro Kobayashi, I’ve realized that your family has a short memory. Why do you always stir up trouble with me?”


    Hearing this voice, Jiro Kobayashi trembled.


    Momentster, he was confronted by Charlie’s handsome and imposing face.


    “Wade… Mr. Wade?!”


    Jiro Kobayashi nearly copsed as he eximed, “What… what are you doing here?”


    Charlie responded, “Liam is one of my people, and Oracle Pharmaceutical is mypany. If you intend to kidnap him and steal the form for Oracle Nova Dias, of course, I woulde to confront you! Don’t mistake me for an easy target; your deceased brother found that out the hard way.”


    “Ah?!” Jiro Kobayashi fell to his knees, sobbing uncontrobly, “Mr. Wade, I’m so sorry! I truly had no idea that Liam was yours, nor that Oracle Pharmaceutical belonged to you! If I had known, I would rather die than defy you!”


    Charlie smirked, saying, “Stop with the nonsense. You’ve already harmed my people, and your mother imed you didn’t disobey me? Do you really think I’m gullible enough to be tricked like a child?”


    Jiro Kobayashi, terrified, fainted from fear.


    He was well aware of who Charlie was and the extent of his power. After all, his brother had fallen victim to Charlie’s ruthless methods.


    Now, he found himself in a precarious situation, fully recognizing that Charlie would not easily let him go.


    Fearing for his life, especially remembering how Charlie had dealt with his brother, he begged, “Mr. Wade, please, don’t hold a grudge against someone like me. I promise topensate you for today’s events! How about a billion? If you agree, I’ll have the money in your ount immediately!”


    “Ten billion?” Charlie scoffed. “Let me rify, Jiro Kobayashi—this time, I’m not motivated by money.”


    Jiro Kobayashi, still crying, pleaded, “Mr. Wade, what will it take for you to be satisfied?”<fn537f> Latest content published on find?novel</fn537f>


    Charlie replied with disdain, “Stay in Japan and mind your own business. If our paths never cross, we’ll be at peace. But since you chose to cross me, I’ll send you to reunite with your brother!”


    “Ah?!” Jiro Kobayashi, who had always believed his brother was dead at the hands of Charlie’s men, was so shocked that he wet himself.


    His trousers quickly soaked through, leaving a mark on the concrete floor. But in that moment, he couldn’t care less; he continued to cry out, “No, Mr. Wade! Please! I’m still young! I don’t want to die! Spare my life, and I’ll serve you like a dog!”


    Charlie looked at him with contempt, saying, “Jiro Kobayashi, this is quite a sight! A so-called master crying like this—aren’t you ashamed?”


    With tears streaming down his face, Jiro Kobayashi wailed, “Mr. Wade, I don’t want to die! I haven’t had enough of life yet! I’m not married… there’s no one left in the Kobayashi family… you can’t let our bloodline end in a foreignnd!”


    Seeing him weeping like a child, Charlie said dismissively, “Soaked in your own urine, and you still think you’re a tough guy? When did I ever say I was going to kill you? Don’t worry; I’ll keep you around as my dog.”


    Jiro Kobayashi looked stunned, “You… didn’t you say you wanted to send me to see my brother?”


    Charlie nodded and replied casually, “I do intend to send you to see your brother, but I forgot to mention that I’ve kept him alive as my dog!”
