The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 471-475

Chapter 471

A worried frown creased Jeffrey's brow. He turned to his father, Jordan, and huffed, "Father, why don't we just sell the building and run? If Kenneth attacks us, we're dead!"

Jordan roared, "Bastard! Sell our building?! If we sell it quickly, my billion-dollar empire will only fetch two hundred million!"

Liam interjected, "Dad's right, Jeff. Weaver Pharmaceutical is Dad's life's work; we can't just sell it."

Jeffrey slapped Liam. "Shut up, bastard! What right do you have to speak?"

Liam stumbled back, covering his face. He sulked, then said firmly, "Jeff, even if you slap me, I'll say it. The company is Father's life's work; we can't sell it!"

"I'll fucking kill you!" Jeffrey's face turned crimson. He lunged at Liam, but Jordan, who usually looked down on Liam, intervened.

"Your brother's right! We need to find a solution! You can't just sell everything and run! It's my legacy, my life's work!"

Jordan took a deep breath. "Listen carefully. Whichever of you solves this problem will become chairman of Weaver Pharmaceutical. Failure proves you're unfit to lead my company!"

Jeffrey exploded. "Father! How can this illegitimate bastard inherit your company?!"

Jordan grumbled, "Bastard or not, he's still my son! If you, the eldest, are incapable, you're out!"

Liam, silently observing, breathed a sigh of relief. Years of humiliation in the Weaver family were finally over. He knew, however, that Jordan wouldn't willingly hand over his company to an illegitimate child. His eldest son, Jeffrey, was inexperienced. Jordan needed to incentivize him, to force him to find a solution.

Meanwhile, Charlie Wade entered his room after showering. Claire Wilson, in her nightgown, was lounging in bed, casually kicking her legs while scrolling through Twitter. She was usually stressed from work, so online distractions had become her main relaxation.

Charlie was sitting on his makeshift floor bed when Claire suddenly screamed and threw her phone, which landed on his face.

Ignoring the pain, Charlie asked nervously, "Honey, what's wrong?"

Claire's face twisted in disgust. "Yikes, I just saw a video on Twitter; it's revolting…"

Charlie asked curiously, "What is it? Let me see." He reached for her phone.

Claire squealed again. "Argh, don't look! It's disgusting…"

"How disgusting can it be? You've piqued my interest."

He turned on the screen and was stunned. It was Kian Webb, the man who emotionally manipulated women. His hysterical reaction in the video confirmed Charlie's hypnotherapy had worked.

Chapter 472

It was satisfying to see him unravel. His life was essentially over; he'd be eating shit every hour. He wouldn't ruin another woman's life.

Charlie locked the screen and smiled at Claire. "I've heard of this guy."

Claire asked in shock, "Where?"

"He's a horrible person who psychologically manipulates women, driving them to self-harm and suicide for his pleasure."

Charlie recounted Kian's criminal history.

Claire huffed. "Oh my goodness, what a bastard! Why would he do that to other people's daughters?"

Charlie said, "There are always sleazebags who hurt others for fun. They're the dregs of society. Karma will get them."

Claire nodded, smiling. "Looks like his karma's hit him already!"

Slightly shaken, Claire decided to put away her phone. Stretching, she said, "Ah, I'm sleepy. Charlie, please charge my phone. Thanks. I'll go to sleep."

"Okay," Charlie replied, charging her phone.

In the middle of the night, Charlie felt his phone vibrate under his pillow. It was a message from Albert.

"Master Wade, several Japanese are ambushing Serene World Facility; I think they're after Dr. Simmons!"

Charlie replied, "I think they're after his medicine."

"Damn it!" Albert raged. "Those scumbags are trying to get the miracle potion! Master Wade, a command from you, and I'll have my men capture them, drag them back, chop them up, and feed them to the Tibetan Mastiff!"

"Don't," Charlie grinned. "They're Ichiro Kobayashi's men, the eldest son of Kobayashi Pharma."

To trap Ichiro, Charlie had modified some Terminal Lucidity Pills and given them to Anthony. These pills could bring someone back to life for an hour or more, regardless of how terminally ill they were, even if they were on the verge of death. However, after those hours, they would die instantly.

The pill wasn't poisonous; it was more like a mercy killing, allowing a person to make final arrangements before death. It overdrew all their energy for those two hours. In ancient times, it was used by emperors and generals to make final orders. It became obsolete in modern times, becoming essentially a poison if taken by a healthy person. Charlie hadn't taken it seriously until now. This time, it could be a powerful trap for Ichiro Kobayashi.

Chapter 473

After instructing Albert, Charlie called Isaac. "After Ichiro succeeds tonight, he'll try to flee the country. Set a trap for him in Aurous Hill. Let anyone in his group escape except him!"

Isaac replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I've made the necessary arrangements. I'll intercept Ichiro before he escapes!"

He added, "I'll ensure the medicine Ichiro steals from Anthony never leaves the country!"

"No!" Charlie said quickly. "I want them to take the medicine back to Japan. The medicine should leave the country, but Ichiro shouldn't!"

Isaac responded, "Mr. Wade, I understand! I won't let Ichiro leave easily!"

"Okay!" Charlie smiled. "After capturing Ichiro, find a secluded place for me to meet him and deal with him personally."

"Okay, Mr. Wade!"

Unbeknownst to Ichiro, a trap was set. He sat in his Maybach across from Serene World Facility, his men hidden, ready to attack. His father, Masao Kobayashi, had been bedridden and paralyzed for three years. He'd instructed Ichiro and his brother, Jiro, that whoever contributed most to Kobayashi Pharma would succeed him as chairman.

Jiro was a pharmaceutical expert, having researched medicine for years, creating successful drugs. Ichiro, however, was a finance expert, better suited for sales and real estate, not pharmaceuticals. Only those who truly understood medicine could create and understand the market.

Ichiro decided to attend the Chinese Medicine Exposition in Aurous Hill, hoping to find a good prescription to take back to Japan. He heard about Dr. Simmons, the genius doctor who cured a patient with severe paraplegia, and was thrilled. If he got his hands on the prescription, he could cure his father and massively expand Kobayashi Pharma.

Chapter 474

Ichiro pinned his future on this night. He called his father.

Masao answered, "Ichiro, where have you been? Why haven't you visited?"

Ichiro replied, "Dad! I'm looking for medicine for you in Aurous Hill. I heard about a genius doctor who treated someone with severe paraplegia!"

"Is that true?" Masao asked, surprised. "A doctor who can treat severe paraplegia?"

Ichiro replied, "I asked around, and everyone confirmed it. The doctor treated the patient with half a miracle pill."

"Half a miracle pill?" Masao was excited. For three years, he'd been in agony, paralyzed in bed. He'd lost the ability to enjoy life.

He'd sought various treatments, but there was no cure for his condition. Even with intense physical therapy, standing, let alone walking, was unlikely. Hearing about the doctor, he became hopeful.

Masao exclaimed, "Ichiro, you must get this medicine, even if it costs one hundred million dollars!"

Ichiro explained, "Dad, the doctor won't sell it. I'm going to steal it and send it to Japan tonight!"

He continued, "Father, I heard the doctor has more pills. We can research the ingredients and develop the medicine. Kobayashi Pharma will become the world's top pharmaceutical company!"

"Excellent! Excellent work!" Masao replied. "You deserve to be called my filial son! Get it to me immediately!"

Ichiro replied, "Don't worry, Dad. My private plane is waiting at Aurous Airport. After getting the medicine, I'll leave a few people behind before flying back to Japan immediately."

Masao said, "You'll be in Tokyo in three hours! I can take the pill in under four hours! I'll finally have a chance to stand again!"

Ichiro wept, "Father! This is Amaterasu's blessing! You'll enjoy endless glory, wealth, and a life free from illness!"

"Okay!" Masao replied. "Ichiro, be careful and don't miss your flight. I'll be waiting for your good news in Tokyo!"

Ichiro said, "Dad, you can be confident. I'll definitely make it home with the miracle pill so you can stand on your own two feet again!"

Chapter 475

Ichiro felt ecstatic after hanging up. If he got the miracle pill, he'd become the heir of Kobayashi Pharma. Coming to Aurous Hill was a great deal.

His aide said, "Mr. Kobayashi, it's eleven o'clock. Should we do it now?"

Ichiro nodded, sneering, "Do it!"

The aide used his walkie-talkie, "Do it now!"

Six men stealthily entered Anthony's bedroom in Serene World Facility. Anthony was waiting for them. For safety, he'd had his granddaughter, Xyla, stay at the hotel.

The men entered, one covering Anthony's mouth and pointing a gun at his temple. "Don't yell! Cooperate, and we'll spare your life."

Anthony feigned fear. "You what are you doing?"

"Hand over the miracle pills!" the man replied coldly. "Or I'll shoot!"

Anthony shivered, "Don't shoot! I'll give them to you!"

He reached into his pajamas and retrieved a small wooden box containing four pills.

The man reported to Ichiro via walkie-talkie, "Mr. Kobayashi, we found four miracle pills!"

"Four? That's amazing!" Ichiro replied excitedly. "Hurry and give them to me!"

The man asked, "What about this old man?"

Ichiro responded, "Just knock him out. We just need a one-hour head start, and we'll succeed!"

"Okay!" The man knocked Anthony unconscious. Albert's men were secretly observing. Since the men didn't intend to kill Anthony, he'd only suffer a little.

After succeeding, the men quickly withdrew. One rushed to the Maybach and handed the box to Ichiro.

Ichiro eagerly opened the box, shaking with excitement at the scent of the medicinal herbs!

"Great!" Ichiro replied. "Head to Aurous Airport. We're leaving for Tokyo immediately."

He told the driver, "Drive! Get to the airport as fast as you can!"

He turned to his aide, "Tell the team to prepare for departure immediately. I want the plane to take off without delays. If anyone finds out and tries to stop us, everything's over!"
