    Corran felt a profound sadness weighing on him, yet he held back any objections. Instead, he redirected the conversation, asking, “Dad, didn’t we discuss a trip to Japan? You just mentioned avoiding direct conflict with the Banks Family; what are our next steps?”


    Lord Wade replied, “We can’t make a big spectacle of it, but you can discreetly send someone to meet with Yuhiko Ito.”


    Corran felt a sense of irritation bubble up, contemting the idea of going alone. Considering a trip to Tokyo was in order, he offered, “Dad, I could fly to Tokyo tomorrow morning to meet with Ito Yuhiko myself.”


    Lord Wade nodded in agreement but added, “I do want you to go, but it’s not advisable for you to be the one.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Corran was taken aback. “Dad, what do you mean?” he asked in confusion.


    Lord Wade exined, “Since the younger members of the Banks Family are going, we must send someone as well.” He then turned to Corran’s son, his eldest grandson, Jon, and instructed, “Jon, you need to get ready. Leave before ten o’clock so you can arrive in Tokyo by lunchtime.”


    Jon quickly stood up and responded respectfully, “Understood, Grandpa! I’ll start preparing right now! But once I meet Yuhiko Ito, how should I approach the project discussion?”


    Lord Wade waved his hand dismissively, saying, “You don’t need to discuss anything specific. I’ve arranged some gifts for the project. You’ll hand them over personally as a token of goodwill. Additionally, I want to establish a friendship with him. Just leave your contact information and return.”


    Jon looked surprised and asked, “Is it really that straightforward?”


    Lord Wade affirmed, “Yes, it’s that simple!” He continued, “If you travel two thousand kilometers merely to discuss cooperation, itcks sincerity; however, if you travel that distance to visit someone who is unwell, that demonstrates true sincerity.”


    Corran chuckled and remarked, “Dad, you’ve got it right! This time, the Banks Family may find themselves outpaced by our Wade family!”


    Lord Wade nodded in agreement, stating, “This is what we call being first!”

    Meanwhile, Charlie enjoyed lunch with Nanako Ito at the Ito mansion, and the twoter brought a meal prepared for Yuhiko Ito to the hospital.


    As they stepped outside, Zayne arrived at Yuhiko Ito’s hospital room apanied by Mr. Palmer and several associates, carrying elegant gift boxes.


    Although Yuhiko Ito was reluctant to meet them, he understood the importance of not turning away those whoe with good intentions, so Emi Ito graciously weed them inside.


    The group was very courteous as they approached Yuhiko Ito’s bedside, expressing, “Ito brother, we heard about your situation and came to visit! It’s truly an honor!”


    Upon seeing Zayne, Yuhiko Ito couldn’t shake a feeling of unease despite Zayne’s seemingly harmless demeanor.


    The incident involving the Banks Family’s destruction of the Matsumoto family had left a significant psychological impact on Ito, leading him to realize that the seemingly gentle man before him could, in fact, be quite dangerous.


    Knowing that it was wise to stay on good terms with such a figure, he responded cheerfully, “Oh, Mr. Banks! I’m genuinely surprised that you came to see me personally. I’m truly honored! Please, take a seat!”


    Zayne nodded, settling beside the hospital bed with a smile, saying, “I’m so sorry to meet you under these circumstances. I’ve been quite busytely, so I sent my children to visit you first, and I finally found the time toe myself. I didn’t anticipate this situation. Please forgive me, Mr. Ito!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
