As soon as Rueben departed, Nanako quickly turned to Charlie and eximed, “Charlie, your instincts are spot on! After meeting Rueben, I can definitely sense that something is off with him!”


    Charlie replied coolly, “Anyone with a guilty conscience, no matter how mentally strong, will eventually show some sign of unease. Rueben clearly became quite anxious when he saw you; this must stem from his fear of the Ito family. He knows that if we get involved, this situation will be thoroughly investigated, and that must terrify him.”


    He continued, “I believe Rueben will try to escape before the opportunity slips away. You need to ensure your ninjas keep a close eye on him; he must not be allowed to slip away!”


    Nanako nodded in agreement, saying, “Rest assured, Charlie. I’ve already taken care of everything. As soon as Rueben arrived, my ninjas rushed to the hotel and are currently monitoring him from all angles!”


    Charlie smiled with satisfaction and added, “If he has any aplices, the first thing he’ll do when he gets back to the hotel is contact them. You must eavesdrop on all of his conversations and be sure to catch any clues!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ……..


    During the flight back to the hotel, Rueben felt increasingly anxious. With such significant changes urring, he had lost his main focus, and all his hopes were now pinned on his father, Theodore.


    He was eager to reach out to Theodore and share everything that had transpired. However, while still aboard the Ito family’s helicopter, he had to suppress his urge and wait until he arrived at the hotel.


    As he traveled back, dozens of helicopters buzzed around him, providing an escort. To outsiders, this formation appeared impressive, but for Rueben, it only heightened his anxiety.


    The power of the Ito family was on full disy during this brief flight. ording to Ito’s assistant, the Ito Navigation Company controlled over eighty percent of the high-rise tarmac across Tokyo.<fna592> Chapters first released on find·novel</fna592>


    Typically, without the need for airport stops, their helicopters were stationed on the rooftops of major high-rise buildings. This strategic positioning allowed for the fastest response in case of emergencies.


    As a result, Rueben noticed the Ito family helicopters frequently taking off andnding from various rooftops on his way back.


    With each show of strength from the Ito family, Rueben’s dread intensified.


    Upon arriving at the Aman Hotel, Rueben rushed into his room and immediately dialed Theodore’s number.


    At that moment, Theodore had justnded in Aurous Hill after a lengthy ten-hour flight. When the call connected, Rueben wasted no time and blurted out, “Dad! I’m about to be exposed! I can’t stay in Tokyo or Japan much longer. I n to return home quietly tonight, and you need to handle the situation on your end as soon as possible!”


    Theodore, taken aback, asked anxiously, “What’s going on? What went wrong?!”


    Rueben replied, nearly in tears, “It’s Charlie Wade! He’s incredibly formidable! Dad, you won’t believe it. The Ito family, the most powerful in Japan, treats him like family! When Charlie said he wanted to find Jasmine, the Ito family immediately pledged their full support! I don’t understand what makes this Charlie so special—are these people out of their minds?!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
