Don Albert responded promptly, saying, “Absolutely, Master Wade! Don Albert is ready to follow your orders!”


    Charlie smiled with approval and turned to Isaac Cameron. “Isaac, we have Don Albert on our side, along with Paul from Smith Law Firm and Ichiro Kobayashi from the Kobayashi family. Please ensure the crew is prepared.”<fn97e2> The rightful source is find?novel</fn97e2>


    “Understood, Master! I’ll take care of the arrangements!”


    At that moment, brothers Ichiro Kobayashi and Jiro Kobayashi recorded their respective videos one after the other.


    Later, Don Albert’s men escorted the two back to the group.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie looked at Ichiro Kobayashi and said calmly, “Ichiro Kobayashi, take it easy today. Tomorrow, Don Albert will apany you to the airport. However, let me give you a word of caution: be careful during your travels. Don’t assume that Japan is your home turf. If you dare to act out of line, I assure you, I will not hesitate to deal with you.”


    Ichiro Kobayashi nodded vigorously, “Mr. Wade, rest assured, I willplypletely…”


    Charlie acknowledged him with a sound, then turned his attention to Jiro Kobayashi. “Jiro Kobayashi, you will remain here. Don Albert’s men will ensure you are well-fed andfortable. When you’re not working, you can take some time to pray—hope for your elder brother’s misfortune, for that might give you a chance to return to Japan.”


    Upon hearing this, Ichiro Kobayashi quickly interjected, “Mr. Wade, you need not worry about me. I will not create any issues. Jiro, you will never have the opportunity to escape this ce!”


    Jiro Kobayashi seethed with anger.


    However, with Ichiro Kobayashi now favored by Charlie, Jiro had no choice but to ept his role as the backup.


    What does it mean to be a backup?


    As long as the primary tires are functioning well—no leaks and no punctures—the backup tire remains unused.


    This thought deepened Jiro’s resentment towards his elder brother. If not for the crowd around them, he would have relished the chance to confront him directly.


    Noticing the escting tension between the brothers, Charlie felt a sense of satisfaction.


    This was precisely the dynamic he desired—one that would keep them in check and deter them from acting against him, ensuring they remainedpliant and under his control.


    With this strategy in mind, Charlie stood up and addressed Don Albert, “Starting tomorrow, we need to enhance security at the kennel. We must keep a close watch on Jiro Kobayashi, and he is not permitted to go on any business trips!”


    Don Albert nodded without hesitation, “Master Wade, you can count on me. We have over twenty guards here, plus a pack of fierce purebred hounds. One bite from those dogs will take care of Jiro Kobayashi. Tomorrow, I’ll bring in ten more men to turn this ce into a fortress—no business trips will happen!”


    Charlie grinned, “Great, I appreciate your initiative. Just remember, if he misbehaves and you have to use the dogs, make sure they don’t kill him. Keeping him alive is essential.”


    Don Albert chuckled, ncing at Jiro Kobayashi, “If this kid thinks about running, I’ll have my snow mastiff take a chunk out of him first!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
