As Rueben watched the helicopters take off in groups of four, he was astonished to see the fleet grow to nearly twenty aircraft. It made him feel like a big shot himself!


    Perplexed, he wondered, “What on earth is happening? Sending twenty helicopters on such short trips, just a dozen kilometers? That’s unbelievable!”


    “And what’s the deal with Charlie’s friend in Tokyo? Renting twenty helicopters must cost a fortune—does he have money to waste like that?”


    Meanwhile, the citizens of Tokyo were equally taken aback by the sight of helicopters zipping through the sky. One by one, they paused to look up, specting that something significant was urring or that an important figure had arrived.


    The more Rueben pondered Charlie’s intentions, the more guilt crept in. Although he and Charlie weren’t close friends, they were at least acquaintances. Normally, when acquaintances meet, it’s just a matter of choosing a ce and arriving separately. Why was Charlie making such a grand gesture?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    New helicopters continued to take off, joining those hovering near the high-rise buildings lining the streets.


    Before long, the number of helicopters had surpassed thirty.


    Rueben had never witnessed anything like this before, and his heart raced with a mix of excitement and anxiety.


    His initial dismissiveness began to fade away. Deep down, he sensed that Charlie was far more influential than he had initially thought, especially considering that Japanese friend of his whom he had yet to meet.


    Perhaps this friend was a significant figure in Tokyo!


    The fleet of helicopters circled over the city, finally settling above a private estate.


    Rueben realized that the helicopters had formed a circr formation, surrounding his own aircraft as it began to descend.


    Peering down at the expansive manor below, he turned to the beautiful woman beside him and asked in surprise, “Excuse me, where are we?”


    The woman replied, “Back to Lord Moore, this is the residence of our eldest sister.”


    Rueben, unfamiliar with the location of the Ito family’s mansion, couldn’t directly identify the owner of the grand estate beneath them. However, the size, area, and architectural style made it clear that this was no ordinary home.


    As the helicopter continued its descent, Rueben’s heartbeat quickened.


    He felt a growing sense of panic, thinking, “If Charlie’s friends in Tokyo belong to such a powerful family, their influence cannot be underestimated. If Charlie enlists their help to investigate Jasmine’s situation, he could really shake things up!”


    Initially, Rueben had dismissed the idea that Charlie could be effective in Japan, believing that without local connections and knowledge, he would struggle to locate Jasmine or uncover the truth surrounding her death.


    This was true for most people.


    Everyone has clear geographical limitations on their capabilities. Take Don Albert, for instance—an underground kingpin in Aurous Hill whomands respect and fear. However, once he steps outside Aurous Hill, his power diminishes significantly.


    If he were to travel to Tokyo, his influence from Aurous Hill wouldn’t carry any weight, and even a low-level enforcer could challenge him without fear.


    Rueben had thought Charlie would face a simr fate.


    Charlie was a force in Aurous Hill, backed by awork of influential local figures. But once he left that territory, his clout would inevitably wane.


    Rueben had assumed that if Charlie truly came to Japan to investigate Jasmine’s case, he would struggle to find even a handful of allies.<fn2076> Content originallyes from Find?Novel</fn2076>


    But now, Rueben realized just how mistaken he had been.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
