The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 481
An hour later, a global express private jet landed at Tokyo Airport and taxied to its private hangar. Masao waited impatiently. As the aircraft entered the hangar, the door opened, and Ichiro's aide emerged, carrying a small wooden box. He rushed toward Masao, who sat in a wheelchair, his son Jiro pushing him with a blank expression.
Jiro was frustrated. He was vying to become heir, relying on his strength to surpass his older brother, who had gone to Aurouss Hill to obtain the "magic pills." If the medicine was as miraculous as rumored, it would not only cure his father's illness but also bring immense profits to Kobayashi Pharma, dwarfing his past achievements.
Ichiro's aide presented the box to Masao, saying, "Chairman! This is the medicine the Vice Chairman secured for you. He instructed me to deliver it immediately upon landing in Tokyo!"
Masao, eager to try it, said, "Give me a pill!"
The aide opened the box, handing Masao a pill. A servant quickly offered a glass of warm water. Masao inhaled the pill's scent, exclaiming, "It's rich and pure, the scent of medicinal herbs! It's invigorating!" He swallowed the pill.
Everyone watched intently, wondering if this medicine could truly cure severe paraplegia. Suddenly, Masao felt warmth spread through his body, a comfortable sensation. He sighed, "It's amazing. I haven't felt this in my legs for years, but they're warm!"
A few minutes later, a surge of strength filled him. He felt twenty years younger! Thrilled, he attempted to stand and, effortlessly, he did.
"Oh my god!" Everyone was astonished, including Jiro. He knew that nerve damage was almost impossible to cure, regardless of wealth. Yet, this medicine had enabled his father, paralyzed for over three years, to stand in under ten minutes! This was extraordinary. The medicine could potentially treat paraplegia, hemiplegia, strokes, and even Parkinson's disease—all nervous system disorders. It was a miracle drug!
Masao moved, initially expecting to stumble, but he walked freely and easily. Elated, he walked faster, even jogging a few steps. He felt twenty years younger! The family doctor examined him, marveling, "This is a medical miracle!"

"A miracle! A miracle even Amaterasu couldn't achieve!" Masao exclaimed.
Just then, Charlie Wade called. "Mr. Kobayashi, how is the medicine's effect?"
Masao, completely convinced, excitedly replied, "Mr. Wade, I accept your terms! I'll buy the license for ten billion dollars!"
Charlie Wade replied, "I'll give you my account number. Transfer the money within twenty minutes, or I'll expose your criminal activities!"
Masao hurriedly agreed. Kobayashi Pharma's total assets barely exceeded ten billion dollars, with over seventy percent borrowed. But this miracle drug meant Kobayashi Pharma would become a world leader.
Minutes later, Charlie Wade received a notification: "Japan's Kobayashi Pharma has transferred ten billion dollars into your account."
Grinning, Charlie Wade said, "Mr. Kobayashi, I wish you and Ichiro the best of luck." He hung up.
Ichiro excitedly asked, "Mr. Wade, now that you have the money, can I go?"
Charlie Wade smirked. "Anxious to leave?"
Ichiro replied, "I want to return to Tokyo to prepare to take over Kobayashi Pharma!"
Charlie Wade chuckled, "Mr. Kobayashi, don't worry. In half an hour, you'll be begging me to take you back."
Ichiro was shocked. "What do you mean? Are you going back on your word?"
Charlie Wade sneered, "I, Charlie Wade, never break my word. Leave if you wish. But if you come crawling back, I'll reconsider helping you."
Ichiro frowned, wanting only to return to Japan. "Mr. Wade, thank you for your compassion. Please send me and my men to the airport. I want the earliest flight!"
Charlie Wade shook his head. "You can leave, but not the five of them."
Ichiro asked, "What do you mean?"
Charlie Wade replied, "These five were not included in our deal. They committed armed robbery in Aurouss Hill. They must face the consequences!"
Ichiro pleaded, "Mr. Wade, there's no need to kill them, is there?"
Charlie Wade said indifferently, "If I don't, other companies will act carelessly in Aurouss Hill. If you continue negotiating, I'll cut your tongue out."
Ichiro's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth. "Okay! Send me to the airport first!"
Charlie Wade instructed Albert, "Take him to the airport. If he begs to return, bring him back, but beat him up first."
"Okay!" Albert responded, "Mr. Kobayashi, please follow me."
Ichiro glared at Charlie Wade. "Mr. Wade, you're a ruthless man. But I'll never return! Goodbye!"
The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 483
Albert drove Ichiro to the airport. Ichiro was thrilled. Despite the ten billion dollar price, his father's paralysis was cured, and Kobayashi Pharma had the miracle drug's formula. He couldn't wait to return to Tokyo to receive his father's praise.
In Tokyo, Masao, fully recovered, was enjoying his renewed youth. He considered finding women and driving, his two passions, but his son's presence made finding women problematic. Driving was his immediate choice.
Jiro, in a weak position, knew his brother's return would make him the hero. He needed to appease his father. "Dad, why not drive my Bentley? It's late, you can speed!"
"Okay!" Masao grinned, getting behind the wheel. Jiro sat beside him. "Dad, I never expected to ride in your car again. I always enjoyed your driving."
Masao nodded, "Jiro, this is good fortune. Amaterasu wouldn't believe I'd have this opportunity! This is my second spring!"
Jiro urged, "Dad, start the car! I can't wait to see you drive again!"
Masao reached for the ignition, but instantly felt rigid, as if exploding. Jiro noticed his father's hand frozen in mid-air. "Dad, are you too excited?"
Masao could only whimper, struggling to breathe. Jiro was horrified as his father's face turned black and purple, his neck and temples bulging.
Jiro panicked. "Dad! What's wrong?"
Masao, gasping, managed to say, "Thisthis medicineis poison" Then, he slumped over, dead, foaming at the mouth.
The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 484
The "miracle drug" had killed Masao. Jiro frantically opened the car door, shouting, "Father has been poisoned! The medicine my brother brought is poison!"
Everyone was shocked. Masao was dead, his expression horrific. The family doctor confirmed poisoning. The Kobayashi family was frozen. The medicine was poison, and they'd lost ten billion dollars and their chairman. Kobayashi Pharma's future was bleak.
Jiro, while grieving, felt a surge of relief. Ichiro could no longer threaten his position. He could even order his brother's death. Killing one's father was a capital crime. Ichiro would be hunted down if he returned to Japan.
Jiro declared, "My brother, Ichiro, poisoned my father! We'll never forgive him!" He announced a five billion yen bounty for Ichiro's death and his temporary takeover of Kobayashi Pharma.
Five billion yen was a substantial sum. Though Kobayashi Pharma had suffered a massive loss, it was still a world-renowned company. Jiro felt it worth spending this to eliminate his brother. This bounty would ensure Ichiro's death and secure Jiro's position.
Ichiro's terrified assistant fled the airport, immediately calling Ichiro: "Your father is dead! Your brother thinks you poisoned him!"
The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 485
Ichiro was devastated. His father was dead? Could the medicine have been poison? He was furious and anxious, wanting to confront Charlie Wade—who'd cheated them out of ten billion and poisoned his father. But Ichiro knew he couldn't defeat Charlie Wade. His father was dead, and the money was gone.
His assistant urged, "Mr. Wade, hide in Aurouss Hill! Japanese gangs will hunt you tomorrow!"
Ichiro, terrified of the five billion yen bounty, remembered Charlie Wade's words. He begged Albert to take him back to Charlie Wade, seeing him as his only chance of survival.
Ichiro pleaded with Albert, "Don Albert! Please take me back to Mr. Wade!"
Albert nodded, pulled over, dragged Ichiro from the car, and began beating him silently, as instructed by Charlie Wade.
After a brutal beating, Ichiro cried out, "Don Albert, what are you doing?"
Albert replied, "Mr. Wade instructed me. If you asked me to bring you back, I was to beat you first!" He continued the beating. Ichiro was woozy but dared not protest. After the beating, Albert dragged Ichiro back into the car and drove to the dog farm.
Ichiro discovered his men had been killed and fed to the dogs. Brought before Charlie Wade, he sobbed, "Mr. Wade, why did you use fake medicine?"
Charlie Wade sneered, "You Japanese fool! When did I ever give you fake medicine?"
