As Charlie rode the elevator upstairs, he couldn’t shake the unsettling encounter he’d just had. The man he’d seen while exiting the elevator had looked at him with a hostile re, even though Charlie was certain they didn’t know each other. Initially, he had assumed that this stranger might be a hidden master, someone extraordinary.


    However, upon reflection, Charlie realized something felt off. The mancked the unmistakable aura of a strong individual. Based on Charlie’s own abilities, he concluded that the man was likely just an ordinary person. But he brushed off the thoughts as he stepped out of the elevator, following Nanako Ito to the ward where Yuhiko Ito was located.


    Inside the hospital room, Yuhiko Ito was berating his mother from his bed.


    He eximed to Emi Ito, “That guy Zayne is nothing but a scheming coward! Just being around him makes my skin crawl!”


    Emi Ito agreed, saying, “Zayne really gives off a sinister vibe. The more friendly he appears, the more chilling it feels, especially when recalling what he did to the Matsumoto family. It sends shivers down my spine!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As Charlie entered the room, he couldn’t help but interject loudly, “Wait—was that Zayne from the Banks Family I just saw?!”<fn9064> Updates are released by Find_Novel(.</fn9064>


    Both Yuhiko Ito and Emi Ito were taken aback, realizing that Charlie and Nanako had just walked in.


    Yuhiko Ito asked with curiosity, “Do you know Zayne Banks, Mr. Wade?”


    Charlie’s expression darkened, and his voice turned icy as he replied, “The man I sawing from the elevator was Zayne Banks?!”


    Emi Ito rified, “I’m not sure who you encountered in the elevator, but Zayne did just leave.”


    Upon hearing this, Charlie immediately turned and dashed out!


    Zayne Banks! The mastermind behind the Anti-Leaf Alliance! The thought ignited a wave of rage within Charlie. He was determined to confront Zayne, even if it meant taking on his bodyguards in broad daylight, demanding to know why Zayne was targeting his parents.


    Charlie envisioned making Zayne pay, feeling a fierce desire for revenge. However, by the time he reached the hospital entrance, Zayne had vanished—he was already in a car, speeding off to Aomori Prefecture. Charlie couldn’t help but pound his fists in frustration at the hospital entrance. This was the closest he had been to his enemy since his parents’ deaths!


    Yet, he had failed to recognize him! This realization frustrated him greatly. The Wade Family had always had a contentious rtionship with the Banks Family, and Charlie had rarely seen Zayne while growing up.


    Additionally, both families ranked among the elite, seldom appearing on wealth lists or in media coverage, leaving Charlie unfamiliar with Zayne’s appearance.


    At that moment, Charlie was overwhelmed with frustration. During his trip to Japan, he had encountered members of the Banks Family multiple times—first by inadvertently saving Fitz and Zara, and now by nearly crossing paths with Zayne!


    Charlie clenched his teeth, thinking that if he could turn back time a few minutes, the first thing he would do upon seeing Zayne would be to smash his face in!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
