The following day arrived.


    Zhang Ermao, also known as Cade, slept inte, well into the afternoon when the sun was already high in the sky.


    Charlie didn’t seem concerned about his whereabouts, so after enjoying avish meal at the hotel around noon, Cade strolled over to Antique Street to resume his stall selling.


    As soon as he set up his booth, Uncle Willie approached him. Noticing Cade’s disheveled appearance from the previous night’s festivities, he eagerly inquired, “Cade, has your master sent you a letter?” Zhang Ermao shook his head.


    With a yawn, he replied, “Not yet. They’ve been trying different strategies to withdraw cash sincest night. Each withdrawal is small, so it might take a little while.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Frustrated, Willie said, “Ermao, I might be leaving Aurous Hill tomorrow night. If I go, our chance to coborate may be lost for good.”


    Zhang Ermao expressed his regret, “Old man, you’re right; tomorrow night is indeed a tight deadline. Why don’t you stick around a bit longer? You could wait just one more day. If you’re feeling bored, you can move to Shangri-La Pce to stay with me. I’ve booked a presidential suite there. I only upy one of the two bedrooms, so you can use any of the three remaining ones.”


    Willie politely declined, “Thank you for the offer, Ermao, but at my age, I don’t have much appreciation for the extravagance of a presidential suite. As I’ve mentioned before, I can only wait until tomorrow night at most. You really should reach out to your previous contact and let him know—if there’s no new product by tomorrow night, we won’t be able to cooperate in the future.”


    Zhang Ermao nodded, “Alright, I’ll follow up and write to you tomorrow.”


    Willie quickly responded, “Then I’ll see you here tomorrow.”


    “Of course!” Zhang Ermao replied without hesitation, thumping his chest and adding, “See you tomorrow!”


    Later that night, Zhang Ermao drove to Yinghuang International for the third consecutive time.


    This marked his third visit in a row.


    As with the previous two nights, he spent money freely and was surrounded by beautiful women.


    Today, however, Zhang Ermao didn’t indulge in much drinking, sensing that his life of luxury might being to a close that very night. Once Master Wade no longer needed to act personally, he would have to return to Tianxiang Mansion to assist Fifth Master Hong in managing his younger brothers and overseeing the businesses under his control.


    As a master, his standing in the world would surpass that of Don Albert’s four heavenly kings, making it impossible for him to spend his days in nightclubs anymore.


    Thus, he cherished thisst exhrating experience immensely.


    That night, Charliey awake in bed, unable to sleep.


    His mind raced with thoughts about what he would do if Willie went straight to Wanliu Vi the following night.


    Should he intercept Willie at an isted spot and attempt to eliminate him, or wait for him to arrive at Wanliu Vi and prepare to ambush his grandparents and family before striking? Initially, Charlie leaned toward the first option.


    This inclination stemmed from his desire to avoid an encounter with his grandparents’ family.<fn48df> Chapters first released on fin?novel</fn48df>


    His reluctance was not only due to wanting to maintain his anonymity, but also because he felt unprepared to meet his grandparents and rtives.


    Reflecting on the past, Charlie recalled how his grandfather had always treated his father poorly, which made him feel that regardless of who was responsible for his parents’ deaths, both his grandfather’s family and the grandfather himself bore significant me.


    This deep-seated resentment was the root of his avoidance of any meeting with his grandfather’s family, fueling his grievances against them.


    Consequently, Charlie initially considered finding a suitable location to confront Willie in a decisive battle.


    If he seeded, he could disappear, shrouded in secrecy; if he failed, he would likely perish at Uncle Willie’s hands, but at least he would find peace in that oue.


    However, Charlie quickly revised this n.


    The reason for this change was the warning Lin Wan’er, also known as ni, had given him.


    This time, the danger felt more imminent. If he didn’t survive the night, he had to ensure that his grandparents and their family understood that Charlie, the one they missed dearly, was still very much alive.
