“Not at all,” Ito Nanako said with a serene smile. “Mr. Wade’s future may not include any particr woman. I’m content simply to have been a part of his life, even briefly.”


    Hearing this, Mitsui Xinmei felt a stir of longing. “I really wish I had more opportunities to get to know Mr. Wade better.”<fna3e6> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fna3e6>


    “Thene to China,” Ito Nanako suggested with a bright smile. “Didn’t you say that charlie Wade-kun will be hosting several of Tawana’s concerts? You’re on good terms with Tawana—why not apany her to China? That way, we can meet again.”


    “Really?” Mitsui Xinmei asked. “I’m worried Odosan won’t approve.”


    After a brief pause, she added, “But I’ll ask him and do my best to convince him!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Late into the night, Mitsui Yoshitaka returned to his manor after a visit to Shinobu Hakkai.


    He had gone there to console his father but chose not to reveal the truth about his brother.


    By now, the bodies of the samurai had been dealt with, and the other corpses were being handled by their respective overseers. The immediate crisis was finally under control. Exhausted, he boarded a helicopter back to the manor, eager for a long rest to ease his strained nerves and fatigued body.


    However, as soon as he stepped off the helicopter, Mitsui Xinmei greeted him respectfully. “Odosan, you’re back.”


    Mitsui Yoshitaka nodded, visibly weary. “Xinmei, why haven’t you gone to rest yet? You must be exhausted after everything that happened today.”


    “Yes, Odosan,” Mitsui Xinmei replied. “I am very tired, but there’s something I need to ask you directly.”


    Intrigued, Mitsui Yoshitaka said, “What is it? Let’s talk in the study.”


    “Alright.”


    The two entered a nearby study. After sliding the door shut, Mitsui Yoshitaka turned to her and asked, “Xinmei, what is it you want to ask me?”


    Mitsui Xinmei spoke respectfully. “Odosan, I’d like to apany Tawana’s team to China. I want to meet Nanako and learn more about Mr. Wade.”


    “charlie Wade…” Mitsui Yoshitaka murmured. “The phrase ‘a dragon among men’ from Chinese proverbs must describe someone like him. Odosan is also eager to learn more about his background. If someone like him could be recruited into the Mitsui family, we would have nothing to fear in the future.”


    Shyly, Mitsui Xinmei said, “Odosan, Mr. Wade is already married.”


    Mitsui Yoshitaka shook his head firmly. “That doesn’t matter. What matters is his value. For someone of such immense worth, everything else bes secondary.”


    Sanjing Ryotaka continued, “It’s too early to draw any conclusions, but it’s crucial for you to learn more about him. If Tawana ns to hold 20 concerts, she might need to stay in China for at least three months or even longer. Apanying her would give you plenty of opportunities to observe charlie Wade and understand his situation. I think it’s a good idea—you can go.”


    “That’s wonderful!” Mitsui Xinmei said excitedly. “Thank you, Odosan!”


    Sanjing Ryotaka nodded thoughtfully. “I’ve been reflecting on it. charlie Wade has done a lot for us. My earlier behavior in front of him at the Dome may havee across as too small-minded. It’s wise for you to learn more about him. I also want to see if there’s a way to convey my gratitude sincerely. If his background matches his abilities, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase all the shares of Universal and offer him thepany along with Tawana’s contract as a gesture of goodwill.”
