Even though he is currently in Aurous Hill, he can still receive calls from Theodore.


    At that moment, the ne had justnded close to the Moore Group.


    Charlie noticed the phone ringing in Hashimoto’s pocket. He reached out to take a look and saw the name Theodore Moore shing on the screen.


    Realizing it was a call from Theodore, Charlie immediately warned Hashimoto Kinxian, “If you want to live, you better bepliant. Otherwise, I’ll send you straight to the kennel and have you chopped up for the dogs. Do you understand?”


    Hashimoto Jinxian nodded, desperation etched on his face. “As long as you spare my life, I’ll do whatever you ask without question…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie replied coldly, “Connect the call to Theodore. He wants to know about your recent situation. Tell him everything is fine and that you’re still in Japan.”


    Hashimoto nodded promptly.


    Seeing his demeanor, Charlie realized that Hashimotocked the courage to deceive him, so he handed over the phone and said sternly, “Take it now!”


    Hashimoto, eager toply, immediately pressed the answer button upon receiving the phone.


    Once the call connected, Theodore, who could clearly hear the other end, let out a sigh of relief. He remarked, “Oh… Mr. Hashimoto, what have you been up to? Why didn’t you answer the call sooner?”


    Hashimoto quickly followed Charlie’s instructions and replied, “I was in a meeting. I just stepped out of the conference room to take your call. What can I do for you?”


    Theodore smiled and said, “I just wanted to check in on the situation in Japan. Any updates on Jasmine? Is the Japanese Metropolitan Police still searching for her?”


    Hashimoto responded, “We still have no news about Jasmine, but given the effort we put into eliminating her, I believe she is dead. The Japanese Metropolitan Police are gradually winding down their search efforts, so you shouldn’t worry too much about it.”


    Hearing this, Theodore felt a wave of relief andmented, “Oh! Mr. Hashimoto, you’re truly dependable! As long as Jasmine is gone, we have nothing to fear!”


    He added quickly, “By the way, I’ll be holding a press conference soon to officially announce my takeover as chairman of the Moore Group. Once I’m officially in charge, we can elerate our cooperation!”


    Hashimoto replied, “That sounds fantastic! I’ve already spoken to our board of directors. When you officially take over, we’ll meet to discuss our future coboration.”


    Theodore responded enthusiastically, “Great, Mr. Hashimoto!”


    Before ending the call, Theodore said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Hashimoto, but the press conference is about to start. I’ll have to cut this short. Let’s save the rest of our conversation for the contract signing!”


    Hashimoto quickly replied, “No need for such formality, Lord Moore. You go ahead with your ns, and we can discuss everything elseter!”


    “Understood!”<fncfed> Fresh chapters posted on f?ndnovel</fncfed>


    After hanging up, Theodore turned to Rueben with excitement and said, “Hashimoto mentioned that the Japanese Police Department has pulled back their forces. It seems they haven’t found any leads!”


    Rueben responded eagerly, “That’s fantastic! If they stop searching, this whole issue will be resolved!”


    Theodoreughed, stood up, waved his hand with enthusiasm, and said, “Let’s head downstairs for the conference! Once the press conference starts, I’ll officially be the chairman of the Moore Group!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
