As Charlie stepped onto the deck, he let out a sigh, feeling the chill of the sea breeze against his face. He had sessfully rescued Jasmine and was now on their way home.


    Yet, the situation was far from resolved. The most challenging party ahead. Theodore and Rueben, the ruthless father and son duo, still posed a significant threat. Meanwhile, Lord Moore was feigning dementia as a means of self-protection. Given his current state, it would be impossible for him to confront Rueben and his father alone.


    Once Theodore and Rueben discovered his ruse, they would not hesitate to eliminate him. Therefore, Charlie’s next step was to publicly unveil the true nature of Theodore and Rueben, rescue Lord Moore, and help Jasmine reim control of the entire Moore family.


    However, after that, they still had to tackle the issue of how to deal with Theodore and Rueben. In Charlie’s eyes, the father and son were not only guilty of intentional homicide but had also directly attacked their loved ones. Their actions were not only rebellious but downright heinous. Even if brought to justice, they deserved the harshest punishment possible.


    In Charlie’s view, people like them had no ce in this world. However, considering that they were Jasmine’s close rtives, how to handle them would ultimately depend on Jasmine’s wishes and Lord Moore’s perspective.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At that moment, Jasmine stood on the deck, the sea breeze ruffling her hair as she gazed at the receding silhouette of Tokyo. She remarked with a hint of emotion, “Master Wade, if it weren’t for you, Wanting might not have made it out of Tokyo…”


    Charlie smiled and responded, “Don’t say such disheartening things. You auspicious people have guardians watching over you; even without my help, you would have survived.”


    Jasmine smiled back, filled with gratitude, and asked, “Master Wade, if I had truly died, would you have felt sad?”<fnac9a> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find[?]ovel</fnac9a>


    Charlie replied earnestly, “Of course. Remember, you are my friend.”


    Jasmine’s expression turned a mix of joy and disappointment. She thought to herself, “Is it possible that my rtionship with Master Wade can only ever be defined by the word ‘friend’?”


    Memories of their past together flooded her mind, and she reassured herself, “Master Wade has treated me so well; I should be grateful…”


    At that moment, Charlie turned to Jasmine, asking, “Have you thought about how to deal with your uncle and cousin following all of this?”


    Jasmine appeared taken aback. After a long pause, she shook her head and admitted, “Master Wade, I haven’t considered that yet…”


    Charlie nodded, letting out a soft sigh. “I hadn’t thought about it either, but it’s time we did.”


    Curious, Jasmine inquired, “Do you have any suggestions, Master Wade?”


    Charlie replied, “My suggestion is quite straightforward: cut the grass and root.”


    Jasmine’s face showed a flicker of conflict. Clutching the railings, she responded hesitantly, “I understand your point, but they are still part of the Moore family, my closest rtives… I just can’t bring myself to do it…”


    Charlie maintained a calm demeanor. “You don’t have to take action yourself; you just need to make a decision.”


    Jasmine sighed deeply, “I get what you’re saying, but making that choice is incredibly difficult. I must consider not just my own feelings, but also my grandfather’s and the sentiments of the entire Moore family. They are family…”


    Charlie countered, “But when they tried to kill you, did they treat you like family?”


    Jasmine nodded slowly, “They did act terribly, but I am not like them…”


    Then, she added, “Master Wade, you might not understand. Since the Moore family hase to my generation, we have never been known for our misdeeds. My grandfather has always been troubled by this. If my uncle and cousin were to die, it would surely devastate him…”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
