Ito Yuhiko gazed at Nanako, his voice trembling as he said, “Nanako, it’s challenging for you to grasp the feelings thate with being a parent. If a situation arises where only one of a parent or child can survive, most parents would choose toy down their lives. One day, when you be a mother, you wille to understand my emotions.”


    Noticing the heavy atmosphere, Charlie interjected, “Mr. Ito, there’s no need to speak so solemnly. Nanako has a long future ahead, and so do you.” With that,


    he lifted his wine ss and proposed with enthusiasm, “How about we make a little agreement?”


    Curious, Ito Yuhiko asked, “Mr. Wade, what kind of agreement do you have in mind?”


    Instead of answering directly, Charlie smiled and said, “I admire your house in Kyoto. It seems to have quite a history, doesn’t it?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Ito Yuhiko nodded in affirmation, “Yes, it has a history that spans nearly three hundred years.”


    Charlie smiled slightly and responded, “Let’s celebrate your 100th birthday there. I promise to be there to support you on that day. You can prepare the contract for that house and gift it to me.”


    Without thinking, Ito Yuhiko replied, “Mr. Wade, if you truly desire that house, I can give it to you right now. Why wait until my 100th birthday? I can hardly imagine living to that age…”


    Suddenly, he froze, as if struck by lightning.


    His gaze locked onto Charlie, who smiled silently. In that moment, realization washed over him. He knelt before Charlie, his voice choked with emotion, “Thank you, Mr. Wade, for everything…” Meanwhile, Nanako Ito understood the weight of Charlie’s words and quickly knelt down beside her father, expressing her gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Charlie, for making this possible!”


    Charlie made no move to assist them but turned to Nanako and stated earnestly, “From this day forward, I will focus on studying martial arts without distraction. I assure you that Mr. Ito will remain just as he is in fifty years, only a century older!”


    While the Rejuvenation Pill may not guarantee a lifespan of two hundred years, living to one hundred and fifty is certainly feasible.


    Charlie felt a strong desire to ensure Ito Yuhiko’s longevity out of respect for both him and for Nanako’s sake.


    After all, if one Rejuvenation Pill isn’t enough, two will do, and if that’s insufficient, three will suffice.


    Moreover, with the medicine cauldron of Taizhen Dao at his disposal, Charlie was confident that he could refine an enhanced version of the Rejuvenation Pill, meaning Ito Yuhiko might only need two to reach one hundred and fifty years old.


    Initially, Ito Yuhiko believed that Charlie’s promise to help him live to one hundred was a great gift, but he soon realized that Charlie aimed not just to extend his life but to maintain his current vitality for that century.


    At fifty years old, his health was robust, thanks to Charlie’s previous assistance and the rejuvenation effects of the reshaping pill. If everything went smoothly, living another thirty years shouldn’t pose a problem.


    If he could maintain his health until he turned one hundred, wouldn’t that imply he could live to be one hundred thirty or even longer?!


    The thought sent tremors of excitement through Ito Yuhiko; his arms shook as if electrified, and despite feeling weak, he persisted in humbly bowing to Charlie.


    He understood that Charlie’s generosity transcended material wealth.


    Nanako shared her father’s gratitude, bowing deeply to Charlie as well.


    Charlie didn’t stop them. He recognized that if he didn’t allow the father and daughter to express their gratitude, they might struggle to find peace.


    Meanwhile, Emi Ito and Koichi Tanaka were taken aback but knelt silently behind the father and daughter, joining in their gestures of respect.


    After the four of them bowed three times, Charlie helped the father and daughter to their feet, smiling gently as he remarked, “Alright, let’s eat! I haven’t had a proper meal in a while, after all!”<fn0843> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fn0843>


    Quickly wiping away his tears, Ito Yuhiko responded, “Yes, let’s eat! Mr. Wade, please!”
