Upon their return to the hotel, ire and Loreen had just arrived. Loreen was in the room of Charlie Wade and ire, happily chatting with ire. When she noticed Charlie Wade returning, she promptly said, “Charlie Wade, please don’t run around tomorrow afternoon. We’re going to a party.”<fn856a> Find the newest release on fι?dnοvel</fn856a>


    Curious, Charlie Wade asked, “What party?”


    Loreen replied with excitement, “It’s a private gathering hosted by the Mitsui family in Tokyo. Tawanna Sweet will be there too! We’ll have the chance to meet her one-on-one, take some photos, and get autographs. The party is located at the back of the dome, starting at three o’clock and wrapping up by six. After that, we’ll head straight to the concert venue, as the concert officially kicks off at seven.”


    As she spoke, Loreen added, “Opportunities like this are incredibly rare. Tawanna has never epted invites to private parties like this before.”


    With a smile, Charlie Wade inquired, “Why is she giving such preference to the Mitsui family? While they are quite renowned in Japan, they don’tpare to the major tycoons on Wall Street, do they?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Loreen exined, “You might not be aware, but the Mitsui family wields unmatched influence in Japan. Although the Ito family appears to be the top family publicly, they are just the most powerful direct family in Japan. The Ito family isn’t as numerous; there are only a handful of people with the surname Ito. In contrast, the Mitsui family has been established for centuries, permeating various industries in Japan and even globally. Currently, they have at least a dozen rtively independent branches, each managing different sectors, and many of their descendants don’t even carry the Mitsui surname. They can be likened to the Rothschilds of the East, but they operate with much more discretion.”


    Charlie Wade nodded thoughtfully. He had heard about the Mitsui family, but he noticed that they are often viewed more as a vast consortium than a family. Additionally, the Mitsui family has intentionally downyed their familial image, leading many to perceive them as a brand rather than a traditional family.


    At that moment, Loreen recalled something and said mysteriously, “Actually, Tawanna may have her own agenda. Her current boyfriend is a well-known American baseball yer, and baseball is immensely popr in Japan, ranking as the second-most popr sport after football. Tawanna might be looking to leverage this opportunity for her boyfriend to connect with the Mitsui family and expand his presence in the Japanese market.”


    Charlie Wade chuckled and remarked, “You’re really dedicated to following celebrity news! You’ve done quite a bit of research!”


    Loreen smiled back, saying, “Even if I am a fan, I wouldn’t have ess to so much insider information without my good friend. Although she isn’t part of the Mitsui family, her family has been closely tied to the Mitsuis for decades, and she’s a close friend of the eldest daughter. That’s how I managed to get our tickets and learn all these details.”


    She continued, “She even helped secure the invitation letter for tomorrow’s party from the eldestdy of the Mitsui family. Apparently, these invitations are highly sought after in the Japanese upper ss, with some people offering tens of millions of yen for one without sess.”


    Charlie Wade grinned and suggested, “Why not sell my ticket then? I’m not a fan, so it wouldn’t make sense for me to attend. If I could indeed sell it for tens of millions of yen, that would cover all our expenses for this trip to Tokyo.”


    Loreen rolled her eyes and replied, “You’re dreaming! The Mitsui family is incredibly powerful. When people in Japan wake up in the morning, they might be using one of their sanitary ware brands in the bathroom, the paper they use could be from their papermakingpany, and even the tap water for flushing could be supplied by them. Their influence is everywhere! There’s no way they would sell tickets to the public for a family party. Each invitation is personalized, and identities are verified at the entrance. If someone were to resell it, they’d have to find someone who looks exactly like them—otherwise, it’s impossible.”


    ire, who had been listening nearby, chimed in with a smile, “Loreen, you’re exining everything so seriously! Can’t you see he’s just joking with you?”


    Loreen shot Charlie Wade a yful look and huffed, “Who knows what he’s really thinking? What if he genuinely isn’t interested in going?”


    As she said this, she turned to Charlie Wade and added seriously, “Listen up, Charlie Wade. Churan and I are both stunning super beauties. If we don’t have a handsome escort when we attend such events, we might attract unwanted attention. So, you absolutely muste with us tomorrow!”


    Charlie Wade chuckled helplessly, “Alright, alright! I guess I have no choice but to go!”</p“loreen>
