At that moment, Charlie was strolling through the streets of Osaka. This time, he had chosen to venture out alone, without Isaac Cameron and the others trailing behind. His goal was clear: he intended to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate thest three ninjas shadowing him. Since Osaka was the final stop on his business trip in Japan, he was eager to deal with these followers swiftly so he could head to Kyoto.


    With that in mind, he led the three individuals—Teng Lin Zhengzhe and hispanions—away from the bustling downtown area, looking for a suitable spot to confront them.


    However, Charlie was taken aback when he noticed that the trio, who had been stealthily following him at a distance of two to three hundred meters, suddenly turned around and started walking back.


    Confused, Charlie pondered, “What’s going on? Are they no longer following me? Do they sense something?”


    “But that doesn’t seem likely. I haven’t shown any signs of aggression—I’vepletely ignored their presence. There’s no reason for them to suspect anything.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Could they be in a rush? Or maybe Takahashi instructed them to abandon the chase?”


    With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Charlie sighed and decided to follow the three men instead.


    He was determined not to leave any potential threats behind. After all, these ninjas had been tailing him for a while. If he let them slip away now, who knew if they woulde back to haunt himter?


    Moreover, there was a chance they might follow him to Aurous Hill and create trouble for him there. Aurous Hill held a special significance for Charlie; it was home to his wife, ire, who was his greatest vulnerability. He couldn’t risk putting her in danger!


    Thus, it was imperative that he dealt with these three once and for all.


    Teng Lin Zhengzhe had no idea that Charlie was now following them. He assumed that Charlie was unaware of their presence, so he hurriedly led his two juniorpanions back to the hotel.


    With nightfall approaching, they realized it was impossible to reach Tokyo by Shinkansen or ne at this hour. Their best option was to drive, which would take around five to six hours if they were quick.


    Consequently, they needed to return to the hotel, grab their car, and make a swift departure to Tokyo.


    The three of them hurriedly made their way to the hotel.


    At the hotel entrance, Teng Lin Zhengzhe instructed, “Second,e back to the room with me to gather our things. Third, you head to the basement to retrieve the car and wait for us at the entrance. We’ll be down shortly!”


    “Understood!” the third junior replied, and they split into two groups. The two older men took the elevator up to their room to gather their soft gear and surveince equipment, while the third went down to the underground garage to fetch the car.


    As soon as Teng Lin Zhengzhe stepped into the elevator, he quickly called Takahashi Zhenzhi to report their ns.


    On the call, he said urgently, “Mr. Takahashi, we’ll be leaving for Tokyo in five minutes. We expect to arrive in a little over four hours. Please stay at home during this time; we’ll discuss everything when we get there.”


    Takahashi responded anxiously, “Teng Lin, I’ve been informed that the opposing party is quite ruthless and has even resorted to using sarin gas! This is a lunatic we’re dealing with! I’m worried they mighte after me. How many skilled fighters does your Teng Lin family have in Tokyo? You need to bring them all to my house for protection!”


    Teng Lin Zhengzhe quickly replied, “Mr. Takahashi, we don’t have many operatives avable in Tokyo at the moment. Most of them have been dispatched to Kyoto to keep an eye on Nanako Ito. Should I call them back?”


    Machi Takahashi hesitated before responding, “No need! Leave them in Kyoto! As long as they can control Nanako Ito, I’ll have leverage to negotiate with Yuhiko Ito. We can’t put all our eggs in one basket!”<fn3522> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find[?]ovel</fn3522>


    Teng Lin Zhengzhe confirmed, “Understood. We’ll head back now and ensure your safety!”


    Meanwhile, Teng Lin Zhengzhe’s third junior had exited the elevator on the second basement floor and rushed toward the car.


    Just as he unlocked the car door and prepared to get in, he felt a sudden grip on his neck from behind!


    In an instant, he found a shuriken pressed against his throat!


    To his shock, he recognized that shuriken—it belonged to his younger brother, Teng Lin Quintongtian!


    Panic surged through him as he thought, “Could this be the person who killed my brother?!”


    In a desperate plea, he eximed, “Big brother, spare my life! Don’t kill me!”


    Charlie’s voice was cold as he replied, “If you want to live, do as I say!”
