Given the significance of this situation, Xion’s escape as a high-profile prisoner is undoubtedly intolerable to the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and the nation as a whole.


    As soon as the phone connected, Nanako Ito’s voice came through: “Charlie, have you already arrived in Aurous Hill?”


    With a smile, Charlie replied, “Yes, how did you know?”


    Nanako Ito chuckled, “I was following the news from Aurous Hill and saw reports about Ms. Moore’s return. Once I heard that, I figured you must be here too.”


    “That’s right,” Charlie said with a slight grin. “We arrived this morning and rushed straight to the Moore Group. I just wanted to check in and let you know we’re safe.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Nanako Ito responded with a smile, “Charlie, you’re too polite! You don’t need to contact me regarding business matters. Just let me know when you’re finished.”


    Charlie felt a warmth in his heart; Nanako Ito truly was kind and considerate. Anyone who marries a woman like her in the future is bound to be blessed for life.


    Shaking his head to dispel those thoughts, he asked, “Nanako, is there any news from Tokyo?”


    “Yes,” she replied. “A significant incident urred in Tokyo the night before. Xion, the criminal responsible for the Matsumoto family murders, escaped from prison! This news broke yesterday afternoon, and it’s been reported that Xion haspletely vanished. The Metropolitan Police and the Self-Defense Forces are in a frenzy, conducting nationwide searches.”


    Continuing, Nanako Ito added, “The fallout from this incident is severe. This morning, the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department resigned in disgrace. A friend of my father’s, a high-ranking official in the Tokyo Homnd Security Department, has stepped in as the new Director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.”


    Charlie couldn’t help but chuckle at the situation.


    The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department indeed had bad luck.


    From what he gathered, it seemed that the Banks Family had some secret dealings with top officials in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.


    ording to the confession of Xion’s ship captain during thest encounter, the Self-Defense Forces initially handed Xion over to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, only toter swap her with the Banks Family’s asset. They nned to shift the me to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.


    They originally intended for the Metropolitan Police to take the fall, allowing the Self-Defense Forces to recapture Xionter and enhance their own reputation.


    However, they didn’t anticipate that Charlie would suddenly emerge and bring Xion back.


    Thus, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces experienced minimal loss; the Metropolitan Police Department bore the consequences while they remained unscathed.


    But the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was indeed in a tough spot.


    The faulty with them, and they were held ountable.


    If they failed to apprehend Xion, it would tarnish their reputation within the Japanese judicial system.


    Charlie then said to Nanako Ito, “Your captain and crew are still on their way back. Once they return, they’ll inform you that I’ve caught Xion.”


    Nanako Ito gasped, “Wait, Charlie, why did you catch Xion? Do you know each other?”


    Charlie grinned, “Let’s just say we have some personal history. After ourst encounter at sea, she attempted to kill me, but her skills weren’t enough, and I managed to capture her.”


    Concerned, Nanako Ito asked, “Are you okay, Charlie?”<fnec6e> Content originallyes from f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fnec6e>


    Charlie reassured her with a smile, “I’m fine. Xion is in my custody now, but I’d appreciate it if you could keep this under wraps.”


    “Of course, Charlie! You can count on me to keep it a secret!” Nanako Ito promised without hesitation.


    Charlie then inquired, “Oh, by the way, you mentioned that the newly appointed head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is a friend of your father?”


    “Yes,” Nanako Ito exined. “He was my dad’s college ssmate and one of his closest friends.”


    With a smile, Charlie suggested, “Then, for your father’s sake, you should give him a nice gift!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
