Chapter 7005
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
Chapter 7004
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

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

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
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

With that, Peter turned toward the driver. "Turn. Don't wait for them."The driver nodded, quickly slowed down, and took a U-turn at the next junction back to Tokyo Dome.That was when Tanya and Trevor, holding hands but still clearly in shock, moved toward them. Tanya especially had lost her previous pride, watching Charlie with a troubled look as she stammered, "M-Mr. Wade… I'd like to call my family through the embassy. We need asylum after something this bad happened…""No," Charlie replied, impassive. "Going back is just fine.""Why not?" Tanya couldn't help asking. "These people are killers—shouldn't we at least tell the cops about something so serious?!""Nope," Charlie's response remained icy. "Starting now, I call the shots around here. You have no right to make any without my permission.""But—"Before Tanya could keep arguing, Charlie snapped, "No buts. If you refuse, I'm getting off this instant and won't intervene with whatever they do to you. It doesn't matter to me if y
