Indeed, she was aware that Eiji Takahashi was facing a dire situation, and she felt a sense of responsibility for it.


    Yet, Zara still held out hope that Charlie could be swayed by both emotion and reason, preventing him from permanently injuring Takahashi Yingji’s arms.


    Though Zara is rtively young, she has received an elite education from an early age and spent many years in the United States, making her a true business prodigy.


    Consequently, she is quite self-aware and thoughtful about her actions.


    For instance, she hade as the representative of the Banks Family to negotiate a partnership with the Takahashi family. However, before any negotiations could begin, Takahashi Eiji had been treated like a worthless individual. If she were to remain silent, it would not only be seen as unjust but would also negatively impact the discussions about cooperation moving forward.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Thus, she feltpelled to intervene, guided by her emotions, reasoning, and vested interests.


    Even though Takahashi Yingji had been abandoned by Charlie, he had at least tried his best, which allowed him some dignity and an exnation to provide to the Takahashi family.


    Ideally, after stepping in, the young man before her would show some understanding and care for Takahashi Eiji.


    In doing so, Zara could maintain her own sense of integrity and respect, while also earning a favor from the Takahashi family that could be advantageous in the future negotiations.


    However, she did not anticipate the level of hostility this young man possessed!


    From his demeanor, it was clear he intended to seriously harm Takahashi Eiji!


    Suppressing her rising anger, she managed to say, “Excuse me, I am Zara…”


    Before she could finish, Charlie cut her off, his voiceced with irritation. “Ma’am, I don’t need to know who you are, and frankly, I’m not interested. Don’t think you can intimidate me with your status. Even if you were a deity, I wouldn’t give you an ounce of respect in this matter, understood?”


    Zara’s emotions were fraying! No one had ever dared to speak to her this way. She was used to being respected and admired, but here was someone whopletely disregarded her presence!


    Moreover, he didn’t even allow her to finish her sentence!


    Charlie’s dismissive attitude only fueled Zara’s anger. She retorted, “I will handle this matter today! If you touch him, you will absolutely regret it!”


    Charlie smirked, amused. “Regret? You think you can make me regret?”


    Zara replied assertively, “Yes!”


    Just as she finished her deration, a loud crack echoed from the side, followed by Takahashi Yingji’s anguished cry!


    She turned to see that Charlie had twisted Takahashi Yingji’s left arm, which was now contorted painfully as he cried out in agony!


    Furious, Zara red at Charlie and yelled, “What in the world are you doing? Are you looking for trouble with me?”


    Charlie shook his head dismissively. “Let’s not get emotional. I don’t know you at all. Why would I have any issues with you? To me, you’re just background noise.”


    With that, Charlie lost interest in the two of them and began rummaging through the pockets of Onizuka Longer, who was sprawled on the ground, retrieving all the money he had taken from the singer. He then walked over to the singer.<fnd76f> This content belongs to fin?novel</fnd76f>


    “Take this money and don’te out to sing or y in the future,” he instructed.


    The girl, tears of gratitude streaming down her face, stammered, “I’m so sorry for causing you trouble…”


    Charlie shook his head. “In a foreign country, you need to look after yourself. I’m leaving now.”


    With that, he turned and exited the scene.


    Zara, fuming, clenched her fists and shouted after him, “You jerk, stop right there!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
