Chapter 1711

Hiroshi Tanaka faced Ito's question and immediately found himself in a dilemma. How should he answer? Could the money be recovered? If not, would he be held responsible? Even Ito Yuhiko would run away from such a difficult question. Seeing Tanaka's silence, Ito's apprehension grew. He blurted out, "You don't think we'll get back 80% of the money, do you?"

Tanaka quickly explained, "It's not that I'm being pessimistic, Mr. Ito. I just don't know. I'd say it's a 50/50 chance of recovery."

"50/50?" Ito Yuhiko exclaimed angrily. "What's the difference between that and not telling me anything?"

Tanaka said hurriedly, "Mr. Ito, there are many uncertainties. I can't reach a conclusion yet, but remember, even in the worst-case scenario, we can still pursue legal action."

"Legal action?" Ito pointed at Tanaka and shouted, "Are you insane? Takahashi Eiji was crippled by Charlie Wade and is now the laughingstock of Japan. If I sue him for the missing ¥450 million, I'll be even more ridiculed!"

Tanaka said awkwardly, "Mr. Ito, this is $4.5 billion USD. We can't just give up because we're afraid of being laughed at. Our family's annual net profit doesn't even come close to that…"

"Yeah…" Ito sighed, "The recent economic downturn has hurt us. Our net profit last year was only over $300 million USD. If things don't improve, we might even lose money this year."

Losses are common for large families and companies. For example, Zotye Automobile lost over $10 billion USD in 2019. Even General Motors, in its 100-year history, suffered a record loss of $38.7 billion USD one year. The current international economic climate is challenging for Ito Takehiko.

However, the medical and health industry offers the broadest prospects. People may not buy cars or houses, but they need medicine. This is why Ito invested in Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals—a decision that has now backfired spectacularly. The $4.5 billion loss was deeply upsetting him.

Seeing Ito's distress, Tanaka Hiroshi hastened to reassure him, "My lord, don't worry. We're not like the Takahashi family. They don't even know who Charlie Wade is, but we do. We know he owns Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals and is in Aurous Hill, China. Even if we have to confront him, we can find him. The Takahashi family can't even do that."

"Yes!" Ito Yuhiko's eyes lit up. "I just want them to keep searching! As long as they can't find Charlie Wade, they'll remain Japan's laughingstock! Hahaha, excellent!"

Ito stood up, lit a cigar, and took a puff. He smiled, "Tanaka, in my name, send a sympathy gift basket—flowers and fruit—to the Takahashi family. A gesture of disgust! Hahaha!"

Chapter 1712

Nanako Ito, in Kyoto, awaited a snowfall that might never come. Her phone vibrated. A notification read: "Takahashi Eiji was beaten in Tokyo, his arms crippled!"

Surprised, she initially dismissed it. But another notification followed: "The mysterious assailant is a master martial artist, a 'god of war!'"

Nanako, a martial arts enthusiast, was immediately captivated. She watched the video—Charlie Wade dispatching Takahashi Eiji's bodyguards with ease. Her shock was palpable. She gasped, dropping her phone. Picking it up, her horror and excitement grew.

"Charlie Wade… it's really Charlie Wade!" she exclaimed. She was completely starstruck. Charlie Wade was her idol, and seeing his elegance, power, and dominance in the video only fueled her admiration.

She watched the video repeatedly. She longed to meet him but hesitated. Knowing that Charlie Wade would face retaliation from the Takahashi family, and that her father also had issues with him, she feared putting him at risk.

She looked to the sky and whispered, "I only hope Charlie Wade leaves Japan safely. Whether or not I see him again is secondary to his well-being. God bless him…"

Chapter 1713

That night, Tokyo's underworld united in an unprecedented search for the man who crippled Takahashi Eiji. Their orders weren't to harm him, but to report his location to the Takahashi family for a $1 million reward. For these low-level gangsters, this was a substantial sum. A large-displacement motorcycle is a symbol of success in their world, but most couldn't afford one.

They searched cautiously, knowing the man's strength. Simultaneously, Takahashi family ninjas, masters of stealth and assassination, joined the hunt. They were skilled in using poisoned weapons and favored surprise attacks. Their mission was to kill Charlie Wade before he left Japan.

Chapter 1714

However, finding Charlie Wade proved difficult. He left no trace. The ninjas relied on Tokyo's surveillance system to locate him. Late that night, Quinton's raw materials arrived in Tokyo and were immediately transported to Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. Liam and Ichiro Kobayashi began production of Nova Dias. Liam also applied to change Niranex's name to Nova Dias. Cameron Isaac picked up Charlie Wade for the production process.

Cameron nervously asked, "Master, why did you fight the Takahashi young master?"

Charlie Wade frowned. "How did you know?"

Cameron explained about the viral video. Charlie was surprised by its rapid spread, even more so given the speed of information spread in China.

Charlie asked to see the video. He was relieved that it was blurry. He had told his wife he was in Japan for feng shui work. He didn't want her to see this video.

Cameron assured him that the Japanese video wouldn't reach China. Charlie wasn't completely convinced and instructed Cameron to contact Stephen Thompson to ensure the video didn't spread to China.

Chapter 1715

Under Liam's supervision, Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals efficiently produced Nova Dias. Charlie inspected the product and confirmed its quality. He instructed Liam to maximize production and begin a large-scale advertising campaign throughout Japan and Asia, announcing the upgraded Nova Dias.

Charlie planned to expand production to Yokohama, Nagoya, and Osaka before the official launch. He warned Ichiro Kobayashi to manage the production lines effectively, threatening to cut his dividends if he failed. Ichiro pledged his loyalty.

As Charlie was leaving, he paused briefly before getting into his car, seemingly sensing something. He quickly dismissed it and left with Cameron and Liam. Four men in black watched from a nearby rooftop.
