    “It looks like in the future, I should keep my distance from him as much as I can! I must ensure he doesn’t get the chance to return to the Wade family!”


    ……


    At this moment.


    Eastcliff, Banks’ Family.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Zara was seated in front of herputer in the study, sifting through information collected from across the country.


    Ever since her return from Japan, Charlie had upied her thoughts, whether she was awake or asleep.


    Her days had been gued with sleeplessness and ack of appetite, all thanks to Charlie.


    Yet, she kept her feelings to herself, not sharing them with her brother or her mother.


    Initially, she had aimed to channel her energy into locating the enigmatic individual who had rescued her so she could express her gratitude in person.


    However, after several fruitless days of searching, she found no valuable leads.


    Following this, in a bid to swiftly restore the Banks Family’s strength, Grandpa Banks resolved to tirelessly seek out a new group of masters.


    Zara eagerly rmended the mysterious figure to her grandfather, asserting that if the Banks Family could locate this person, they would gain a formidable ally capable of turning the tide against any opponent, vastly enhancing their striking power!


    Lord Banks was thrilled and immediately tasked Zara with finding this elusive man at any cost.


    Unfortunately, information about the mysterious individual remained elusive.


    The Banks Family’s informants had reached out through various channels in both China and Japan, but no one had any knowledge of such a powerful expert.


    Among martial arts masters, there exists aprehensive roster, featuring top experts who are well-known and have notable backgrounds.


    However, since Charlie was not affiliated with the martial artsmunity, he waspletely unknown to them.


    This made it significantly more challenging for martial artists to uncover any relevant information about him.


    Moreover, currently, there were very few martial arts masters who matched the kind of strength Zara had described.


    Domestic martial artists were not any weaker than Japanese ninjas, and some could even surpass them in strength, but there was truly no one who could confront several ninjas and emerge entirely unscathed.


    As Zara’s fruitless search continued, she decided to request all recent entry and exit records from Japanese customs, hoping to filter them by nationality and approximate age group.


    However, due to the Banks family’s involvement in a violent incident in Japan, the Japanese Homnd Security Department had significantly tightened customs controls.


    Previously, the Banks Family could easily ess entry and exit records for all of Japan, but now, even after exhausting their resources, they couldn’t retrieve the slightest information.


    Zara spected whether the mysterious master might be of Chinese descent living in Japan, as he could be absent from the immigration records.


    Yet, unwilling to remain stagnant, she resolved to focus her efforts domestically.


    While hunting for clues about the mysterious individual in China, she also sought to prate Japan’syers of oversight to obtain entry, exit, and even immigration records as soon as possible.


    Nheless, Japan’s data blockade proved to be quite stringent, making it challenging to break through in the short term.


    Just as she felt stuck, a close female friend from Japan called her, saying: “Zara, although I can’t ess entry and exit information or immigration records from Japan right now, I have found an alternative approach. Whether it works depends on your patience!”<fn45d2> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? Find[?]ovel</fn45d2>


    Zara quickly replied, “Please share your idea! I have all the patience in the world! Even if it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack, I will find him!”


    The friend chuckled and said, “Exactly! Although the Japanese homnd security department has blocked customs records, they haven’t blocked the airport video surveince. Besides submitting it to customs, I’ve kept a copy of all the airport surveince footage. There’s a way to get you ess to it. If you’re willing to sift through countless surveince videos from several airports, you might just find a clue about your lifesaver!”
