The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 1481

As Charlie Wade exited Thompson First, the bus's automatic doors slowly opened. Cameron Isaac quickly alighted and respectfully addressed Charlie Wade: "Master, I'm ready, awaiting your arrival."

Charlie Wade nodded and boarded the bus. He found it filled with over forty young adults, all appearing fit and strong—clearly trained personnel.

Upon seeing Charlie Wade, they rose and bowed in unison: "Greetings, Master!"

Cameron Isaac immediately added, "Master, these are the men I've trained over many years. They're loyal. You can trust them."

Charlie Wade nodded approvingly. "Please be seated. Tonight's mission demands your best effort. Success is paramount; failure is unacceptable."

The men shouted, "Master, don't worry! We'll give our all!"

Charlie Wade turned to Cameron Isaac. "Tell the driver to proceed swiftly. We need to arrive as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master."

Oracle Pharmaceutical's facility is located in an industrial park on the outskirts of Aurouss Hilll City, twenty to thirty kilometers from the city center. The route largely comprises expressways with heavy traffic, making an ambush there impractical for Jiro Kobayashi. However, a less congested stretch of road leads to the factory after the expressway. This section, with its lighter traffic, presents a more opportune location.

Consequently, both Charlie Wade and Cameron Isaac surmised that Jiro Kobayashi would likely choose this area to act. Charlie Wade immediately contacted Liam, instructing him not to leave Oracle Pharmaceutical and to depart only when they were ready.

Liam readily agreed. He now implicitly followed Charlie Wade's lead. Indeed, ever since Charlie Wade helped him secure Weaver Pharmaceuticals and dispatched his father and half-brother to Golim Mountain, Liam had pledged his allegiance. Charlie Wade's single-handed defeat of the Eight Heavenly Kings on Golim Mountain solidified Liam's unwavering loyalty. Now, Charlie Wade's every word was his guiding principle.

Meanwhile, Jiro Kobayashi sat in his Toyota Alfa luxury sedan, approaching a sharp 90-degree bend on the highway. The curve's blind spot made it ideal for an ambush. Once a vehicle rounds the bend and encounters an obstruction, turning back is impossible. The terrain also makes this spot a favorite for weekend and holiday drunk-driving checkpoints; once a driver rounds the bend and sees the checkpoint, escape is impossible.

Jiro Kobayashi held a pack of Oracle Nova Dias. After experiencing a stomachache yesterday, he'd taken a pack, instantly alleviating his discomfort. This demonstrated Nova Dias's superior efficacy compared to Niranex. Remarkably, even when experiencing slight stomach discomfort, he'd instinctively reached for Nova Dias instead of his own Kobayashi Stomach Powder (Niranex).

Niranex, developed after extensive research of classical Chinese medical texts and countless trials, was a source of immense pride. He considered it his own child. Yet, a single dose of Nova Dias had overshadowed Niranex.

His body clearly couldn't resist Nova Dias's potent effects. If he reacted this way, ordinary consumers would undoubtedly abandon Niranex for Nova Dias. He must obtain Nova Dias's formula.

Feeling a burning sensation, he tore open another pack and swallowed the contents. Excitement, nervousness, and anticipation coursed through him.

"Pour me a glass of whiskey with ice," he told his assistant.

The assistant readily obliged, retrieving a bottle of Japanese Nissan Whiskey from the car's refrigerator.

Kobayashi took a hurried sip. "The Chinese are truly remarkable! I considered Kobayashi's Niranex formula extraordinary. But Oracle Pharmaceutical's discovery of Nova Dias—such a miraculous substance—is truly impressive!"

His assistant remarked, "Chairman, Nova Dias might not be based on traditional Chinese medical texts; they might have developed it independently."

"Impossible!" Kobayashi declared. "The Chinese have largely neglected traditional medicine in recent years. Even Yunnan Baiyao has barely survived. This indicates a decline in Chinese traditional medicine practitioners. Such a potent formula as Nova Dias couldn't have emerged from this decline. Therefore, I'm certain it was discovered in classical medical texts."

"Mr. Kobayashi, your insight is unparalleled!" the assistant flattered.

Kobayashi finished his whiskey, gesturing for a refill. "My father said that Chinese history and culture are an inexhaustible resource. He was right!"

His assistant asked, "Mr. Kobayashi, what's the plan once we acquire the Nova Dias formula?"

Kobayashi sneered. "I've given the order. Once we have the formula, someone will burn down Oracle Pharmaceutical's production facility. Then, I'll make minor adjustments to the formula and quietly replace Kobayashi's Niranex. The medicine will be mine!" A cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

Oracle Pharmaceutical operates three shifts. He knew a fire would kill hundreds of employees. But he didn't care. They were Oracle Pharmaceutical's employees; it was none of his concern. He only wanted the Nova Dias formula.

While Kobayashi believed he'd ensnared Liam, Charlie Wade's net had already secured him. Kobayashi assumed his dozen Japanese masters could easily subdue Liam. He didn't know at least fifty men surrounded them.

Charlie Wade's bus was less than three kilometers away. Liam's location at Oracle Pharmaceutical was approximately three kilometers from the ambush site.

Liam left Oracle Pharmaceutical, entered his car, and drove off as usual.

Kobayashi's informant reported that Liam had left Oracle Pharmaceutical alone, sending Kobayashi's blood boiling.

Ten minutes later, Liam's Mercedes-Benz entered the bend. The wind howled, and the road was deserted.

Kobayashi's plan was simple: stop Liam's car, bind him, take him to a safe location, torture him, and extract the formula. He’d pre-purchased hundreds of Chinese medicinal herbs to immediately replicate and compare the formula with market Nova Dias. Once the formula matched Nova Dias’ efficacy, he'd return to Japan and begin production. His masters would then destroy Oracle Pharmaceutical.

Seeing Liam approach the bend, Kobayashi excitedly left his Toyota Alfa. A dozen masters blocked Liam's path, staging a rear-end collision. Two more cars flanked Liam, blocking all escape routes. Liam would be trapped.

Rounding the bend, Liam saw two parked cars and several people seemingly arguing. He stopped and asked, "What's the matter? An accident? Please move your cars; you're blocking the road."

The men suddenly attacked. Two swiftly apprehended Liam, restraining his arms.

Liam feigned panic. "Who are you? What do you want?"

Kobayashi emerged from the shadows. "Manager Weaver, it's me, Jiro Kobayashi. We have unfinished business."

Liam exclaimed, "Jiro Kobayashi?! What's the meaning of this?!"

Kobayashi smiled. "Simple. Our earlier negotiations failed, so I invited you elsewhere to continue." He ordered, "Take him away!"

Suddenly, a bus approached from the opposite direction.

The bus driver flashed his headlights and honked.

Kobayashi frowned. "Damn it, a bus at this hour?" He instructed his men, "Clear the way quickly, to avoid suspicion."

As his men moved, the bus stopped in front of the staged accident. The driver lowered his window. "What's going on? An accident? You've blocked the whole road!"

A man in black stammered, "Sorry, sorry, moving now!"

The driver cursed, "Hurry up, you idiots!"

The man in black retorted, "Who are you talking to?!"

The driver sneered, "Oh, you're Japanese? This is China! Get out of the way, or I'll kick you back to Japan!"

This Japanese martial arts master, though not as skilled as Yamamoto Kazuki, was angered by the driver's insults. "Damn it! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Kobayashi shouted, "Musashi! Focus on the bigger picture! Move the cars and let the bus pass!"

Musashi gritted his teeth, pointing at the driver. "You're lucky!"

The driver laughed and cursed, "Little featherweights!"

Kobayashi, enraged by this insult to his prestige as president of Kobayashi Corporation and head of the Kobayashi family, pointed at the driver, yelling, "Teach this bastard a lesson!"

Enraged, the black-clad men charged toward the bus. They slammed the door, yelling, "Open up!"

The driver, unfazed, opened the door, cursing, "Bunch of crippled idiots! I'll kill you all!"

The men lunged inside, only to find themselves surrounded by over forty armed men in the darkened bus. Charlie Wade emerged, a playful smile on his face. "Freeze! Hands on your heads, or you'll become human-shaped honeycomb coal!"

The Japanese men, surrounded by gun barrels, were stunned. They'd intended to attack the driver, not become trapped.

The leader yelled, "Ambush! Run!" He realized in despair that the bus door had closed.

Charlie Wade sneered. "You came into my bus and want to run?"

"Misunderstanding!" the man stammered. "Weapologize to the driver. We want to"

Charlie Wade snarled, "Shut up and get on your knees! Or I'll blow your heads off!"

The man trembled, surrendering. The others followed suit.

Kobayashi, unaware of the bus's events, was ordering Liam's capture. Suddenly, numerous black cars surrounded them, completely blocking their escape.

Kobayashi panicked. He saw this was a well-planned ambush.

"Break through!" he yelled.

He knew they were trapped. Escape was their only option, even if it meant sacrificing his men. They tried to protect Kobayashi but were met by the forty armed men from the bus, along with additional black-clad individuals from the surrounding cars—at least one hundred.

Kobayashi's side numbered less than twenty, several already disarmed. He panicked. "Cover my escape! Or we all die!"
