The moment Charlie disclosed his true identity, James reacted as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning!


    He stared at Charlie in disbelief and eximed in a panic, “You… Are you really Bruce’s son?”


    Before Charlie could respond, James began muttering to himself, “If you look like this, it couldn’t be wrong…”


    Then, he quickly added, “Charlie, I have a connection with your father. Logically, you should refer to me as ‘uncle’…”<fna980> This content belongs to ?ovelFind</fna980>


    Charlie scoffed, “Call you uncle? Are you even worthy of that?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    James hurriedly exined, “I understand that you might not have a favorable view of the Banks Family, but the Banks and Wade families have long upheld an agreement of non-interference and non-confrontation. For decades, we have adhered to the principle of respecting each other’s territory while focusing on our own development. You… you must not break this agreement.”


    Charlie retorted with a cold snort, “The agreement between you and the Wade family is your business, not mine.”


    James panicked further, “You… Yourst name is Wade… You have to honor the pact between the Wade Family and us!”


    Charlie sneered, “I don’t acknowledge any agreement between you and the Wade Family. There’s only one thing I recognize.”


    “What is that?!”


    Charlie articted each word with emphasis: “My parents’ deaths must be avenged!”


    James, now visibly distressed, blurted out, “But your parents’ deaths have nothing to do with the Banks Family!”


    Charlie replied coldly, “Your Banks Family was the first to form the anti-leaf alliance. That alone makes you ountable!”


    James quickly defended himself, “Charlie… When your father’s tragedy urred, I hadn’t yet taken over the Banks Family’s affairs. The Anti-Leaf Alliance was not my doing…”


    Standing up, Charlie seized James by the cor of his bathrobe and dered sternly, “If it matters, it’s not up to you to decide; it’s up to me!” He then smiled lightly and added, “Mr. Banks, I’ll make arrangements for you in Aurous Hill. I have a nice room ready, soe with me and enjoy your stay!”


    James was left bewildered, unsure of where Charlie intended to take him or what his ns were. Just by observing Charlie’s expression, he realized it could not bode well. Trembling with fear, he pleaded, “Charlie, I truly haven’t harmed your father. The Anti-Leaf Alliance was established by my father and older brother. If you seek revenge, you should go after them…”


    Charlie chuckled, “Your Banks Family is quite clever. Whenever something goes awry, you let your family take the fall.”


    His tone then shifted sharply as he continued, “But don’t worry; your father and brother won’t escape. It’s only a matter of time! Now, pleasee with me!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, Charlie swiftly pped James across the forehead. Instantly, James felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and he lost consciousness.


    Charlie then turned to Xion, asking, “Where is Steve?”


    Xion responded promptly, “Master Wade, Steve is tied up after I knocked him out; he’s on the balcony.”


    “Great!” Charlie nodded and instructed Xion, “Please help me clean up the scene and ensure there are no traces left behind.”


    Xion replied without hesitation, “Of course, Master Wade. Scene management is one of my specialties.”


    Having previously worked for the Banks Family, Xion had extensive experience with assassinations and kidnappings. She was adept at erasing all evidence without leaving a trace. With the scene in her capable hands, Charlie dragged the unconscious James, who resembled a lifeless sack, to the expansive balcony of the presidential suite.


    Meanwhile, Stevey unconscious, bound tightly by sheets, his body curled into a tight ball.
