After searching for a week, Charlie nced around without feeling any excitement about the various delicacies avable. With a slight smile, he said, “Thank you, I would like a bowl of ramen, please.”
Nanako Ito quickly addressed the chef in charge of the ramen: “Yokoyama-san, could you please prepare two bowls of ramen? Make sure Charlie’s bowl has double noodles!”
The chef responded respectfully, “Certainly, gooddy. Please wait a moment with Mr. Wade.”

Meanwhile, at the same time.
While Charlie and Nanako Ito were enjoying breakfast at Ito’s residence, Zayne, a man in his 50s, was already awake in the presidential suite of the St. Regis Tokyo.
Holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other, he gazed out at the dimly lit streets of Tokyo, taken aback by the scene.
As the cigarette burned down, he flicked the butt into the ashtray, lit another one, and turned to his confidant, Mr. Palmer, asking, “How are the young masters and youngdies doing?”
Mr. Palmer nced at the clock and replied, “The ne should bending in Eastcliff in about half an hour. I’ve already notified the family; the wife has rushed to the airport with the doctor. Once the nends, they’ll take the young master and Miss directly to the family hospital for a thorough examination.”
“Alright,” Zayne nodded, his expression darkening. “This incident was extremely dangerous; I nearly lost both Fitz and Zara in Tokyo! That damned Matsumoto, even if he’s gone, I can’t quell my anger!”
Mr. Palmer quickly responded, “Master, the Matsumoto family has already been wiped out; there’s no need to be overly angry.”
Zayne gritted his teeth, taking a drag from his cigarette before responding fiercely, “If it weren’t for the convenience of remaining in Tokyo, I would have had Xion capture Mr. Matsumoto in front of me and make him suffer a thousand deaths!”
Mr. Palmer cautioned, “Master, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department suspects our Banks Family is behind this incident. They’ve been protesting to me while you were resting, iming that we’ve caused too much of a disturbance without anymunication. They’ve threatened to escte this matter to the Homnd Security Council for investigation, suggesting it haspromised their national security.”
“Compromised national security?” Zayne scoffed, “A minor figure like Matsumoto can’t just invoke national security. They’re simply unhappy that we eliminated so many people in Tokyo!”
“Exactly,” Mr. Palmer confirmed. “The Tokyo government shares this dissatisfaction. They believe the situation is too severe and severely impacts the city’s image, so they’ve resolved to investigate thoroughly.”
“Additionally, the international airports in Tokyo and several nearby cities are on high alert. They’re rigorously screening all departing foreigners and have even announced a temporary ban on private jets and charter flights. Our private jets are under surveince; things are bing quiteplicated.”
Zayne inquired, “Which other airports are rtively rxed?”
Mr. Palmer replied, “Currently, only Osaka Airport seems to be less strict due to its distance, being hundreds of kilometers away.”
Zayne nodded, “Then have them disperse. They should find a way to use public transportation to Osaka and then catch another flight from China. Remind them to avoid transferring through Eastcliff to prevent raising suspicions with Japanese customs. We need Xion and the others who participated in the operation back home tonight.”<fn9d84> Official source is Find[?]ovel</fn9d84>
“Understood, Master!” Mr. Palmer nodded respectfully, then asked, “When do you n to return?”
“I’m in no rush,” Zayne replied with a cold smile. “The Takahashi family has suffered significant losses, the Matsumoto family has beenpletely destroyed, and Yuhiko Ito is incapacitated. Tokyo feels quite secure right now; I think I’ll stay a couple more days.”
After a moment, he added, “Mr. Palmer, please prepare some gifts for the patients this morning, and apany me to the hospital at noon to visit Yuhiko Ito. He is our only partner at the moment!”
