Over the past two years, a prominent Japanese businessman made headlines by purchasing a remarkable bluefin tuna weighing 278 kilograms for an astonishing 3.1 million U.S. dors, which breaks down to an average price of 11,000 U.S. dors per kilogram.
When such premium bluefin tuna is served in top-tier restaurants, the price can skyrocket even further.
Dining on the most exquisite bluefin tuna in upscale establishments means paying more than gold for fish.<fn2fd1> For more chapters visit FindN()vel</fn2fd1>
In addition to this, the Yamazaki Fifty Years Old Whiskey stands out as a national treasure of Japan, with a single bottle fetching over 3 million U.S. dors.
By hosting a banquet featuring such luxurious food and drinks, Ito Yuhiko clearly demonstrates how much he values Charlie.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Upon Charlie’s arrival at the restaurant, Ito Yuhiko had already been waiting for a considerable time.
A magnificent bluefin tuna sat at the center of arge wooden dining table, its body elegantly covered with ice made from pure, frozen water.
A chef stood nearby, holding a sashimi knife, ready to slice the tuna into exquisite portions for the guests to relish.
As soon as Charlie walked in, Ito Yuhiko enthusiastically eximed, “Mr. Wade, please have a seat! You’re in for a treat today—this bluefin tuna was just brought in by fishing boats an hour ago and is considered the finest quality in Tokyo this year!”
Charlie smiled politely and replied, “Mr. Ito, you’re too kind. I don’t have a particrly high demand for food; there’s no need to go to such lengths.”
With utmost seriousness, Ito Yuhiko responded, “Mr. Wade, as a distinguished guest of our family, it’s only natural that we offer the finest ingredients and drinks to honor you!”
Then, he turned to Nanako Ito and inquired, “Nanako, has Miss Moore finished with her hot spring visit yet?”
Nanako Ito replied with a smile, “Ms. Moore is still enjoying her soak in the hot spring. I’ve instructed someone to bring her over as soon as she’s done.”
“Alright,” Ito Yuhiko nodded and smiled, “we’ll wait for Miss Moore to join us.”
At that moment, Charlie recalled something important and asked Ito Yuhiko, “By the way, Mr. Ito, I have a question for you.”
Without hesitation, Ito Yuhiko replied, “Mr. Wade, please feel free to ask anything; I’m here to help!”
Charlie continued, “If I wanted to leave Japan discreetly without attracting attention from customs, do you have any suggestions?”
Ito Yuhiko pondered for a moment before saying, “To avoid drawing attention, your best option would be to use smuggling routes.”
Charlie probed further, “What would be the most convenient way to smuggle? Is it really viable?”
Ito Yuhiko exined, “Essentially, there’s only one way to smuggle out by sea, especially since Japan is an ind nation withoutnd borders. If you wish to leave quietly, your options are limited to the sea or air. However, air traffic is heavily monitored, leaving the sea as your primary choice.”
He added, “Japan has a lengthy coastline and a well-developed shipping industry, so there are numerous vesselsing and going. Smuggling by sea is not overly difficult.”
Upon hearing this, Charlie stated, “Mr. Ito, I would appreciate your assistance in arranging a boat. I intend to bring Jasmine back to China.”
Surprised, Ito asked, “Smuggling back home? Mr. Wade, if you n to do that, you must not only evade Japanese customs but also those of your own country. It sounds ratherplicated…”
“It’s manageable,” Charlie replied earnestly. “Aurous Hill can handle it without issue. I’ll have everything prepared. My ties to Japan are minimal, and you’re my only friend here. Can you help me secure a boat so that Jasmine and I can leave Japan quietly?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
