Charlie made his way to the top floor to wee his guest. As the helicopter door swung open, Ito Nanako gracefully stepped out, adorned in a stunning kimono, which momentarily took Charlie by surprise.


    While Ito Nanako looked exceptionally beautiful in her traditional attire, radiating the gentle elegance characteristic of Japanese women, Charlie couldn’t quite grasp why she chose to dress so formally for the asion.


    Upon spotting Charlie, who was deep in thought, Ito Nanako’s face lit up with joy. With a bright smile, she eximed, “It’s been ages since Ist saw you, Charlie-jun!”


    Charlie returned her smile and nodded, replying, “It’s been a while indeed! But I must ask, why the grand outfit?”


    Just then, the Ito family’s housekeeper, alongside Nanako’s aunt, stepped off the helicopter, assisting Takehiko Ito, who was wearing a prosthesis, as he disembarked.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Noticing that everyone was dressed formally, Charlie’s surprise deepened.


    yfully sticking out her tongue, Nanako exined, “Today is my father’s birthday, so we all decided to wear traditional Japanese clothing to celebrate. However, we didn’t expect to be called to board the ne just before dinner!”


    With a smile, she nced at her father, Takehiko Ito, and added, “It’s quite a unique experience to celebrate my father’s fiftieth birthday in an airne…”


    Takehiko, looking somewhat exasperated, shot his daughter a yful re before bowing respectfully to Charlie. “Hello, Mr. Wade. It’s a pleasure to see you again!”


    Charlie nodded back with a smile, saying, “Mr. Ito, I didn’t realize it was your birthday today. I apologize for making you travel so far on such an important day.”


    “Oh no, Mr. Wade,” Ito Takehiko quickly replied, “You are too kind. You are the benefactor of our family. We are always ready to assist whenever you need us!”


    Then, with urgency, Ito Takehiko inquired, “Mr. Wade, may I ask what prompted your call for us toe to New York so urgently?”


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively. “There’s no urgent matter for you to address, Mr. Ito. I came all this way to share some exciting news with you.”


    At that moment, the Ito family’s housekeeper assisted Hiroichi Tanaka out of the helicopter.


    As Tanaka approached, he respectfully bowed to Charlie with his hands together.


    “Mr. Tanaka, it’s been a while,” Charlie greeted him with a warm smile.<fnc79c> This content belongs to fin?novel</fnc79c>


    Tanaka was taken aback by the acknowledgment and replied, “Long time no see, Mr. Wade. I’m surprised you remember me…”


    “Of course, I remember you, Mr. Tanaka. I knew you before I met Mr. Ito,” Charlie responded, recalling their acquaintance from when Ito Nanako participated in apetition in Aurous Hill.


    Charlie held a favorable impression of Koichi Tanaka, appreciating his honesty and loyalty. If not for Tanaka’s brave actions in saving Takehiko from the Takahashi family, the oue could have been dire.


    Tanaka’s face glowed with gratitude. He felt honored that Charlie remembered him and took the initiative to greet him, a gesture he never anticipated.


    Turning to everyone, Charlie announced, “This isn’t the best ce for a conversation. Let’s head inside to talk.”


    He then addressed Isaac Cameron, who was nearby, saying, “Old Isaac, please arrange for the catering department to set up a banquet in my presidential suite. Also, order a birthday cake so we can celebrate Mr. Ito’s birthday in an hour!”
