As Charlie noticed the other party approaching him, a yful grin spread across his face. He looked at Xion, waved enthusiastically, and called out, “Hi, beauty!”


    Xion shot him a fierce re, her eyes zing with anger.


    Though she couldn’t hear his words, the shape of his lips clearly formed the phrase “Hi, beauty.”


    From Charlie’s mischievous demeanor, Xion understood that she was at his mercy. With a resentful re and her teeth almost grinding together, she red at him. Just as the distance between them shrank to its closest, Charlie made a slicing gesture across his neck with his right hand. This action ignited Xion’s fury!


    In a sudden burst of rage, she leaped from her seat and shouted hoarsely, “You scoundrel! I’ll kill you myself!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie had exceptionally acute hearing, so he caught her furious outburst loud and clear.


    With a grin, he replied, “I’m waiting for you!”


    Xion read his lips perfectly, solidifying her belief that Charlie was the one responsible for the harm done to her and her over fifty subordinates.


    In that moment, she yearned to devour Charlie alive! Yet, reality afforded her no opportunity for vengeance. The convoy had already begun to speed away, soon passing by Charlie as it exited the airport, heading toward the Self-Defense Force station.


    Meanwhile, airport personnel had begun moving the ne away, and the control tower initiated the resumption of normal operations.


    The captain beside Charlie announced, “The tower has cleared us for takeoff!”


    “Great!” Charlie replied with a satisfied smile, adding, “I’ve been away for so long; it’s time to head back!”


    The aircraft swiftly taxied to the end of the runway, elerated, and then took off, leaving Japan behind.


    ……


    Though Charlie had departed Japan, the country was in an uproar!


    All television stations were broadcasting urgent news, with hosts excitedly reporting that the shocking Matsumoto family murder case had led to the arrest of 57 suspects!


    The broadcast even featured real footage of the capture, showcasing the dramatic scene of armed helicopters, armored vehicles, and Self-Defense Force members surrounding the aircraft, leaving viewers in disbelief.


    Before long, the news spread like wildfire across Japan.


    Meanwhile, Zayne was at a hot spring hotel in Aomori Prefecture. Upon reading the news, he erupted in rage, smashing anything within reach, including the mounted television!


    This incident had not only caused significant losses for the Banks Family but had also brought them shame!<fned09> Fresh chapters posted on FindN()vel</fned09>


    Old Lord Banks, stationed in Eastcliff, received the news almost immediately.


    He called Zayne, eximing in disbelief, “What’s going on?! More than fifty people captured by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces?! How did this happen?! If you had handed this overpletely, how could you let it be such a disaster? You’re trying to drive me mad!”


    Zayne struggled to contain his fury, replying with despair, “Dad! I don’t know how this happened or where the leak came from, but trust me, I didn’t want this to happen any more than you did!”


    He gripped his hair tightly, gritting his teeth as he continued, “Even though Xion’s identity is disgraceful, she’s still my blood. Now that she’s been arrested, there’s a real chance she could face the death penalty from the Japanese government. Do you understand the pain I feel as her father?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
