Chapter 1809

Yahiko sighed before he said apologetically, “Mr. Wade, I hope that you will not hold it against me even if I have offended you in any way in the past!”

Charlie was also very generous and accommodating, and he smiled slightly before he said, “Mr. Ito, you are being too polite. We can just forget about all of our misunderstandings in the past. You don’t need to mention it anymore.”

The subtext of Charlie’s words was actually; since we were going to just forget about our past misunderstanding, you should not mention the four and a half billion dollars anymore.

Although he was not short of money, he did not want to take out money that was already in his own pocket just like that.

It was not that Charlie was interested in cheating Yahiko out of his money, but the main point was that even if he were to take out the money, he would not possibly give him back his money just because of a few words.

At the very least, he would be able to give Nanako this sum of money if she needed it in the future.

However, he would have to wait for Nanako to inherit the Ito family first.

Yahiko was also a very witty and intelligent person. So, when he heard this, he naturally knew what Charlie meant.

Four and a half billion US dollars was indeed a huge sum of money, but he would not try to take the money back from him since Charlie did not want to give it to him anyway.

After all, Charlie had saved his daughter’s life and healed her injuries completely. Charlie was already showing them great kindness and benevolence.

Otherwise, even if his daughter was not in danger, she would not be able to live without the wheelchair or the torture of her illness for the rest of her life.

Thus, Yahiko also consciously chose not to mention the four and a half billion US dollars anymore. At this time, he asked curiously, “Mr. Wade, how did you manage to save Nanako by chance?”

Charlie replied truthfully, “I was originally taking over Kobayashi Pharma’s production line in Osaka. I heard that Miss Nanako was in Kyoto at this time. Since Kyoto is only forty minutes drive away from Kyoto, I decided to come and visit her. I truly did not expect that I would actually run into the ninjas from the Fujibayashi family who were attacking her at that time, and so, I decided to take action against them instead.”

After he was done speaking, Charlie could not help but sigh as he said, “It was also purely a coincidence. If I had arrived a little later, there would be nothing that I could have done, then.”

Yahiko nodded in fear before he exclaimed, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”

After he was done speaking, Yahiko could not restrain his anger, and he said in a cold and angry voice, “The Fujibayashi ninjas are all very loyal to the Takahashi family. I don’t understand why Machi is attacking me! We are all fighting to collaborate and work together with the Schulz family, but even though we have our own share of misunderstandings every now and then, there is no need for him to take my daughter’s life, right?”

Charlie frowned immediately before he asked, “What did you just say? The Schulz family? Which Schulz family?!”

Yahiko explained, “It’s the top and most influential family in Oskia, the Schulz family! They want to engage in the ocean shipping business, and they have taken a fancy to a few ports in Japan. So, they want to cooperate with the Japanese families to work on their shipping business. Both the Ito family and the Takahashi family are on their shortlist.”

After he was done speaking, Yahiko said again, “For both of our families, whichever one of us who gets to secure the collaboration contract with the Schulz family would finally have had the opportunity to surpass the other family to become the top and most influential family in Japan. Therefore, both of us attached great importance to this cooperation. However, I truly would not have expected Machi to do something like this.”

At this time, Charlie suddenly remembered the two Oskians he had rescued when he had been tailing the Iga ninjas.

Were they from the Schulz family?!

As he thought about this, Charlie hurriedly asked again, “Mr. Ito, who did the Schulz family send here to discuss the collaboration and partnership contract with you this time?”

Yahiko replied, “They sent their eldest grandson and granddaughter here today. One of them is called Jaime, and the other is called Sophie.”

Charlie frowned as he asked, “Are the both of them very young? The woman should be in her early twenties, and the man is around twenty-five to twenty-six years old, right?”

“That’s right!” Yahiko said, “Jaime should be about twenty-five to twenty-six years old. Sophie should be about the same age as Nanako, and they should be twenty-two years old.”

As he spoke, Yahiko sighed before he said, “However, who would have expected that the pair of siblings from the Schulz family would actually get kidnapped after coming to Japan? Furthermore, the kidnappers even killed more than a dozen of the subordinates working for the Schulz family! This incident turned the entire Tokyo upside down. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also listed Machi and me as a suspect in this incident!”

As soon as he heard this, Charlie was basically certain that the siblings he had accidentally rescued and released in Kyoto were none other than the eldest grandson and granddaughter of the Schulz family!

As he thought about this, the expression on Charlie’s face suddenly became very ugly.

The Schulz family!
