    “Never refund?!”


    When Yuhiko Ito heard this, hisrge, polished back seemed ready to explode.


    Clutching his chest, he pointed an usatory finger at Charlie and eximed, “Wade! You keep insisting on following thew, but is this how you do it? I transferred $4.5 billion to Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, and now you either need to give me shares or refund my money. Do you really expect to keep my funds without returning anything?”


    Charlie simply nodded, a nk expression on his face. “Yes! I do n to keep your money. Once it’s in my possession, it’s mine to decide what to do with it. If you want me to return it, I would have toe up with some cash to pay you back. Do you think I would risk my reputation for that?”<fna890> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n Find[?]ovel</fna890><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “You… you…”


    Yuhiko Ito felt a sharp pang in his heart.


    He had never encountered such audacity in his life.


    Grinding his teeth, he retorted, “I still don’t believe it. Do you think you can just swallow a massive $4.5 billion?”


    Charlie grinned and replied, “Haven’t I already done that? You practically fed it to me.”


    Yuhiko Ito felt like he might be sick.


    At that moment, Charlie turned to Isaac Cameron and instructed, “Isaac, please show Mr. Ito out.”


    Isaac Cameron nodded and approached Yuhiko Ito with a few of his men, casually stating, “Mr. Ito, you might want to reconsider your approach. Don’t make me take action; otherwise, you could end up in a position where you can’t get up for five months.”


    “You… you dare to threaten me?!”


    Isaac smiled and replied, “I’m just being straightforward. Master Wade has a reputation for a short temper. If you don’t leave, he might just take matters into his own hands.”


    Yuhiko Ito’s teeth were clenched in frustration. Though anger boiled within him, he dared not retaliate in that moment. He managed to contain his rage and said coldly, “Fine! Very well! Wade, I will make sure you pay for this. You think you can take my $4.5 billion without consequences? This is far from over!”


    With that, Yuhiko Ito stormed out of the meeting room, his face dark with anger.


    Charlie watched him leave with a faint smile.


    He knew that Yuhiko Ito had always wanted to invest in Kobayashi Pharmaceutical and had even intended to arrange for his daughter, Nanako Ito, to marry Jiro Kobayashi.


    This thought made Charlie feel a twinge of displeasure.


    Nanako Ito was incredibly beautiful, embodying the essence of a Yamato Nadeshiko. Marrying her off to Jiro Kobayashi seemed like a grave mistake on Yuhiko’s part.


    In Charlie’s eyes, Yuhiko Ito and his mother-inw, ine, were quite simr; both were willing to jeopardize their daughter’s happiness for personal gain.


    Thus, Charlie harbored little fondness for Yuhiko Ito. The whole $4.5 billion situation was a chance for him to teach him a lesson.


    At that moment, Koichi Tanaka approached Charlie and spoke respectfully, “Mr. Wade, I sincerely apologize for this incident. I had no idea you were now a major shareholder of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. If anything was inappropriate today, please forgive me…”


    Having witnessed Charlie’s abilities firsthand, Tanaka held him in high regard.


    He had seen Charlie effortlessly defeat Yamamoto Kazuki and render Yuhiko Ito’s bodyguards ineffective. Such power was awe-inspiring to Tanaka.


    Even though the Ito family wielded significant influence in Japan, Koichi Tanaka felt it was wise for them to avoid provoking Charlie. The consequences for the entire Ito family could be unpredictable.
