“Oh yes!” Ito eximed with excitement, his face lighting up. “It’s wonderful! It’s wonderful! I’ve always dreamed of Nanako being able to heal and stand again. This means more to me than my own life! I can’t believe it’s actually happening!”


    With that, Yuhiko Ito turned to Nanako Ito and inquired, “So, you came to Tokyo. Did Charlie bring you here?”


    Nanako Ito replied honestly, “Yes, Oudosan, Charlie drove me all the way to Kyoto.”


    Then, she added, “By the way, Oudosan, the bodies of the six Tenglin ninjas are still in the storage room of my courtyard. I need to ask you to instruct the housekeeper to handle that.”


    “Alright…” Ito sighed, almost to himself. “I’ve been harboring resentment towards Charlie these past few days, but I never expected him to save my beloved daughter and help her recover. Inparison to her injury, I’ve truly been a viin with a heart of a gentleman…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He quickly asked, “Nanako, where is Mr. Wade?”


    Nanako Ito replied promptly, “He’s outside, Oudosan.”


    Yuhiko Ito attempted to sit up straighter, using his hands for support. He said earnestly, “Please, invite Mr. Wade in. I want to thank him personally!”


    Nanako Ito hesitated for a moment and then said, “Oudosan, Charlie mentioned he might make you angry if he sees you…”


    “How could that be!” Ito insisted. “My issue with him was just about the 4.5 billion dors, but he saved your life! To me, your life is priceless; not even 4.5 billion, or even 45 billion dors couldpare! Therefore, Mr. Wade is my great benefactor, and I must express my gratitude in person…”


    After a few seconds of thought, Nanako Ito replied, “Oudosan, I will ask Charlie. If he’s willing, I’ll bring him in.”


    Yuhiko Ito responded immediately, “Alright! Go ahead!”


    Nanako Ito stepped out of the ward and approached Charlie.


    Surprised, Charlie asked, “Why are you out here so soon?”


    Nanako Ito stuttered slightly, “Charlie… My father… he… he wants to see you…”


    Charlie smiled awkwardly, saying, “He just had an amputation. Even though he’s not in immediate danger, he must be quite weak. Is it really suitable for him to see me right now?”


    Nanako Ito quickly waved her hand. “That’s not it! Father wants to thank you personally! He wants to express his gratitude for saving my life and healing my injuries.”


    Charlie looked a bit surprised. “Your father actually said that?”<fn343e> Original content can be found at </fn343e>


    “Yes,” Nanako Ito affirmed with a serious nod. “I assure you on my honor!”


    Charlie smiled warmly. “If that’s the case, then I will go meet Mr. Ito.”


    With that, Charlie followed Nanako Ito into Ito’s ward.


    Upon entering, Yuhiko Ito, with the help of Ito Emi, sat up and sped his hands together in front of Charlie. He spoke with sincerity, “Mr. Wade, thank you for saving my daughter’s life and for healing her injuries. Your great kindness will never be forgotten by the Ito family!”


    Charlie was taken aback by Yuhiko Ito’s unexpectedly gracious demeanor. He quickly responded with a smile, “Mr. Ito, you’re too kind. Nanako and I are friends, and I would do anything for her.”
