Chapter 7001
Meanwhile, Yoshitaka still wasn't aware of how serious things were, but his daughter, Kokomi, had noticed how odd the situation was."Why would the CIA take Tanya away?" She asked. "There's just something strange about this."Yoshitaka simply smiled. "Oh, Kokomi—you just don't know much about politics, do you? Tanya may be a superstar, but she involved herself in things she shouldn't have been involved in and even bet on the wrong horse. Winner takes all, but she's on the losing side, so her punishment was only a matter of time."On top of that, the winner made it clear he wasn't at all pleased with her behavior until now and publicly announced that there would be a probe when he wins. Everyone knows how petty he can get, so it's not that surprising for an official investigation into Tanya. Who knows how much evidence yet unknown to the public he has by now, and once they are revealed, Tanya's career is definitely over."Kokomi pursed her lips in hesitation but still said, "If that's t

Yoshitaka was no fool—he had simply misjudged an earlier decision but stuck with it, and hence, the mistake had snowballed from there.That was also precisely why he wasn't concerned when his daughter had voiced her suspicions, even arguing as if in a knee-jerk reflex.But now, with Kathleen explaining the whole situation, he truly came to his senses and realized how big a blunder he had just made!Her description of what would have been alone left Yoshitaka sweating buckets, as Kathleeen wasn't exaggerating at all. Mitsui Group's reputation would be utterly destroyed if Tanya were truly killed, and he would most probably be forced to resign to appease the outraged citizens.While there was always a sense of hypocrisy in any nation's sense of justice, it was built upon one common denominator: keeping everything under the rug. But should what was beneath the rug be exposed to the public, whoever was found responsible would be reduced to a pariah, abandoned and condemned by everyone els

That was when the Toyota minibus and its entourage returned to Tokyo Dome, and the security personnel at the gates stood in a row, bowing respectfully as the convoy pulled up inside the building.Yoshitaka was trembling even as he watched the so-called CIA convoy return, as traumatized as he was furious.Talk about stepping on his toes, and right in the middle of his turf! To attempt an abduction right in his face?! It wasn't just an insult—it was ignominy!Nonetheless, the minibus soon stopped steadily in front of Yoshitaka and Kathleen, and the door soon opened.Charlie stood inside, beckoning to Tanya and Trevor. "You two. Go."The couple promptly leaped off the minibus without delay, their faces still pale from fear.On their necks was that little hole where the syringes had left a slight bruising after it had been forcibly removed—a gruesome sight.Kokomi exclaimed urgently, "Are you alright, Tanya?!"Seeing her, Tanya ran up and wrapped her arms around Kokomi as she sobbed, "You

It's not as if Yoshitaka had never met any assassins—it was just that no matter how savage they were, they didn't match the deathly presence that Charlie seemed to project.While curious about who Charlie was or how every part of him seemed to scream murder, he wasn't sure why Kathleen was utterly sycophantic of him.Still, with Charlie clearly holding the advantage, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I'm a man of my word.""Alright," Charlie nodded and turned to Peter. "From now on, Mr. Mitsui will be in charge of your safety and welfare. I'm really not that interested in your bosses, so you don't have to tell me—stay alive, and you'd be holding up your end of the deal."Earnestly worshipful toward Charlie just then, Peter quickly nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you!"Charlie then turned back to Yoshitaka. "Like I said, I'm just requesting their protection. You don't get to harass them or coerce them into giving up sensitive information—treat them as guests, understo

Yoshitaka didn't expect Charlie to be so rough and demand that Tanya perform anyway.After all, divas like Tanya had a temper, but forget being unable to sweet-talk her, he was even threatening her?!The woman earned millions per year easily, and while it was a far cry from global bankers, she was just one girl.That meant she didn't have a big family or company to sustain. If necessary, she could just throw her parents a few million for pocket money, but the rest would be hers and hers alone. A life like that couldn't be more delightful—even a canceled concert would just cost a few dozen million in comparison. And if she really didn't feel like it, her compliance was a pipe dream!To no surprise, Tanya was upset with how rough Charlie was being with her.She had been so popular for so long that she was fawned over everywhere—but while even the likes of the world's richest man had to say he was a fan of hers, Charlie was somehow treating her like an employee!She definitely c

First and foremost, Charlie hadn't saved Tanya to do Yoshitaka a favor, so he shouldn't think too highly of himself.Secondly, Charlie didn't care how big a deal he was in Japan. To Charlie, he was nothing.Yoshitaka certainly felt embarrassed as well, as he could see that Charlie thought nothing of him when he didn't even know who Charlie really was.Until now, if anyone ever did Yoshitaka a favor, he just had to tell them he would remember it, and they would be so overjoyed as if they had been granted a favor. That definitely wasn't the case with Charlie, as he was showing his disdain for Yoshitaka in every way.Moreover, he had indeed screwed up big time in front of Charlie and Kathleen when Peter and his gang duped him.Smiling in embarrassment, he nodded, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Wade. I will do my best to correct that and refresh my memory…"Charlie simply ignored him and turned to Tanya, "Putting aside the fact that my wife and I flew hundreds of miles to watch your con

Yoshitaka breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that Tanya was finally agreeing to stick with the concert.He was already worried that the diva would just up and leave, and he was well aware of the temper of divas like her.Push her too far, and she would walk out on her bosses—she was plenty rich and influential anyway, and she could goof off for a while even if she failed to beat the company's lawsuit.On top of that, if she told her fans that she had left the company because they were forcing her to do something against her will, her legions of fans would bring the company to its knees.That was why Yoshitaka wouldn't dare to compel Tanya to do something against her will, and it really surprised him that Charlie just had to play hardball to make her cave.That was when Charlie said, "Since Ms. Sweet will be continuing with the concert, let's not waste time here. Mr. Kennedy, please return to the party with Ms. Sweet, or the other guests will start asking questions. If anyone asks,

Charlie shook his head. "The people who want you dead were actually your allies who want to jump ship by cleaning house and save their own skin now that things have changed. It's the principle of sacrificing your friend when you run into a hungry bear—the bear won't hunt you if it has something else to eat."That's just the way it is when it comes to switching sides. They have all the more reason to want you dead since you might be aware of certain individuals' dirty laundry, even if you weren't actively getting involved in it."Tanya was left speechless, as that definitely was the case—she knew certain things, even witnessed it, but she wasn't an active part of it.And with a new sheriff in town, silencing her was just a matter of self-preservation.Naturally, she couldn't just tell Charlie those things outright, especially since they weren't alone.Fortunately for her, Charlie wasn't interested in what she did, saw, or knew.Instead, he quietly said, "Judging from the current s

Tanya pursed her lips and said gingerly, "M-My family is back home in the States… I miss them, and home feels safe…"Charlie shrugged. "Do you really think home is safe after today? That your family has enough influence to stand against the people who want you dead?"Tanya was once again reminded of Charlie's insight earlier, and she sighed, shaking her head. "A-Alright, I won't go back… I'll just try to offer an olive branch to them like you said, and only head back when they provide assurance of a safe passage…"Charlie nodded approvingly, like a parent would when their child was behaving. "Why not hold a few more concerts after Tokyo? And don't stay at Mr. Mitsui's residence since it won't do if you keep imposing on the old fellow—drop by Oskia instead.""What? Oskia?!" Tanya blurted in surprise."Yes," Charlie replied, nodding. "It's not that far. Just a three-hour flight from Tokyo."Tanya remained bemused. "B-But what am I going to do there?""Oh, that's true—you are a pub

As Charlie finished, Tanya blurted in surprise, "Wait, so you're really serious about holding concerts in Oskia?""Yeah," Charlie nodded calmly. "You've never had a concert in Oskia before, have you? You can use this opportunity to surprise your Oskian fans, which will do wonders for your career. And I can promise you this—you will be safe once you touch down over there, but it's still up to you if you want to go.""Y-Yes, I'll go…" Tanya nodded without hesitation.Under normal circumstances, Tanya might have had other considerations.But this time, deep down, she had no desire to refuse. If anything, it felt as if there were multiple voices in her mind, urging her to agree with Charlie.Seeing that Tanya agreed, Charlie said, "Then, let's go into detail on our agreement, as Mr. Mitsui is here, and he's a shareholder of Universal Music."All of Tanya's performance fees for her Oskian concerts will be paid according to the usual rates. I have no issue with a complete buyout or jus
