The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1726-1730
Chapter 1726
That night, the four ninjas worked in pairs, taking four-hour shifts to ensure adequate rest. They believed their plan was flawless, unaware that Charlie Wade controlled every aspect. Wade's inaction stemmed from his strategic planning; he wasn't avoiding confrontation, but choosing a different approach.
He opted against eliminating the ninjas immediately because he planned to travel to several more cities. Killing them would attract the Takahashi family like unwanted pests, creating unnecessary complications. Instead, he preferred to let them follow, eliminating them individually at opportune moments.
At 8:00 a.m., Wade freshened up, had breakfast, and then boarded Cameron Isaac's waiting motorcade. He sent Paul back to Aurous Hill to avoid delaying his law firm's work. The convoy, carrying Wade, Don Albertt, Liam, Cameron Isaac, Ichiro Kobayashi, and others, departed Tokyo for Yokohama.
Teng Lin Zhengzhe and his brother followed in two commercial vehicles. Initially believing Wade was only seeing Paul off, they were surprised when the convoy headed straight for Yokohama. Zhengzhe immediately informed Takahashi Zhenzhi, who instructed him to continue surveillance without acting rashly.
Meanwhile, Fitz and Zara met formally with Maki Takahashi at the Takahashi family's Ginza property. Takahashi apologized for yesterday's incident involving Eiji.
Fitz, as the eldest son of the Banks family, inquired politely about Eiji's injuries. Takahashi explained that Eiji underwent arm surgery and was in a cast. Fitz offered the Banks family's assistance, emphasizing their commitment to strategic partners. He mentioned his father's concern and the possibility of sending orthopedic specialists from Eastcliff if needed.
Takahashi expressed gratitude and admiration for the Banks family's sincere approach. Fitz then suggested they discuss the details of their cooperation. Takahashi abruptly added a condition: the Banks family must cooperate in eliminating the Ito family. Zara expressed concern about this unexpected demand.

Zara was puzzled by Takahashi's sudden proposal, wondering if he had eavesdropped on her family's video conference the previous night. She considered this plausible, given the location.
Fitz, also suspicious, discreetly signaled Zara, unable to openly discuss their suspicions. Zara calmly asked Takahashi about his motivation for eliminating the Ito family.
Takahashi angrily recounted Ito Yuhiko's insults and mocking phone calls. He emphasized his determination to destroy the Ito family, portraying a convincing performance to mask any suspicion of eavesdropping. He hoped this would position the Takahashi family as natural allies.
Zara, convinced by Takahashi's emotional display, agreed to discuss the cooperation first, mentioning the Ito family issue would be revisited if they reached an agreement. Takahashi expressed his enthusiasm, confident that the Takahashi family was the best choice for the Banks family.
While Takahashi negotiated with Fitz and Zara, Wade and his entourage arrived in Yokohama and proceeded to Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's production base. Quinton's medicinal materials had already arrived. Kobayashi and Liam oversaw the trial production of Nova Dias, which went smoothly, completing the first batch by 4:00 p.m. The group then traveled to Nagoya.
Chapter 1728
Cameron Isaac had booked accommodations in Nagoya. Wade noticed the four ninjas who had been following them had checked into the same hotel. They booked four separate rooms near two elevators and escape stairs, strategically positioned for surveillance.
Wade noticed the ninjas' proximity and planned to test their skills that night. At dinner, Don Albertt and the others dined on eel rice. Later, Don Albertt suggested a group outing, but Wade politely declined, preferring to walk alone. Cameron Isaac and Don Albertt urged him to be cautious but ultimately respected his decision.
Across the street, Teng Lin Zhengzhe instructed his men; one would follow Wade while the others planted a listening device in his room.
Chapter 1729
Wade deliberately left Cameron Isaac and Don Albertt behind to assess the ninjas' capabilities. He correctly surmised they wouldn't send all four to follow him. He preferred to eliminate them individually to maximize their fear and that of Takahashi Machichi.
He noticed only one ninja, Tenglin Quintongtian, was tailing him. Quintongtian, known for his tracking skills, followed Wade at a safe distance. However, once Wade entered a deserted park, he vanished without a trace.
Quintongtian, with highly developed senses, could detect no sign of Wade. He was baffled; Wade’s disappearance was impossible to explain through normal means. He prepared for a possible confrontation.
Chapter 1730
Quintongtian searched for Wade, but after a minute, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He spun around, throwing his shurikens, but missed. He felt another tap on his shoulder and threw two more shurikens, still missing. Wade then mocked Quintongtian's skills.
