Xion was eager to uncover the extent of Charlie’s knowledge about the vtile material. Suppressing her revulsion, she moved closer to him and said icily, “Hurry up!”


    In response, Charlie leaned in, his warm breath brushing against her ear as he replied, “Not long ago, Donald’s brother-inw, Marcone—the leader of the southern region gang—was killed. His wife and many beggars were also killed alongside him!”


    Startled, Xion pulled away from Charlie, maintaining a clear distance. She retorted coldly, “Is that all? That was all over the short videos at the time. I want to know, does anyone else know about this?”


    Charlie shrugged, “I assumed you were unaware.”


    Xion shot him a disgusted re, believing that Charlie was attempting to use this information as a way to get closer to her.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Fortunately, he didn’t gain any significant advantage, so Xion refrained from confronting him.


    However, this incident did lower Xion’s defenses against Charlie.


    Noticing her silence, Charlie leaned in again and asked, “Hey, beautiful, where are you from? I’ve shared my info, so are you going to tell me something too?”


    Xion replied nkly, “Just because you told me doesn’t mean I owe you anything.”


    Charlie grinned, “Come on, don’t be so frosty! You’re stunning, and a smile would suit you perfectly!”


    Xion rubbed her temples, exasperated, “I’m sorry, but I just want to rest.”


    With that, she closed her eyes.


    Charlie probed again, “So, what brings you to Osaka? Are you just visiting or returning?”


    Opening her eyes, Xion frowned and replied, “How do you know I’m not heading back to China from Osaka?”


    “Tokyo won’t let you leave!” Charlie sighed. “I’m not sure what’s happening in Tokyo with the exit controls. My family is waiting for me to celebrate the New Year, so I had no choice but to leave from Osaka…”


    Xion nodded slightly, thinking, “I guess I’m being overly cautious. For those in Tokyo returning to China, departing from Osaka or other northeastern airports is quite normal.”


    As a result, her interest in chatting with Charlie faded, and she stated, “Alright, I’m just going to rest. If nothing urgentes up, please don’t bother me.”<fnbcf2> Checktest chapters at f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fnbcf2>


    Despite her request, Charlie continued, “By the way, I can tell by your ent that you’re from Eastcliff!”


    Xion’s expression shifted; her brow furrowed as she quickly denied, “I’m not from Eastcliff; I’m from Hignd Falls.”


    Given Japan’s restrictions on exits and investigations into foreign tourists, particrly those from Eastcliff, Xion was cautious and identified herself simply as a Chinese citizen.


    Charlie reacted with surprise, “Oh,e on! We’re all Chinese here. It’s fate that we met on this ne in Japan. You don’t have to hide that from your fellow countrymen. Your ent clearly indicates Eastcliff; people from Hignd Falls don’t speak like that.”


    Xion felt her irritation with Charlie growing. She began to realize that he posed no real threat; he was simply a bit disheveled, a touch inappropriate, and overly talkative. Her annoyance, however, allowed her to rx her guard around him.


    With that, she closed her eyes again, trying to rest her mind, uninterested in engaging further with Charlie.


    Meanwhile, Charlie sent a message to Isaac Cameron via WeChat, instructing him to prepare ording to his n…<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
