As soon as he entered the house and saw that his wife Mia's shoes were already at the door, he knew that she had already come back.

So he went straight to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw that his wife Mia had just hung up the phone, with a look of surprise and excitement on her face.

He asked curiously, "Honey, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Mia said excitedly, "It was my best friend Caroline!

Do you remember her?"

Alan nodded and said, "Yes, I do.

She used to study at a university in Pras City and had a close relationship with you.

Is she the daughter of a big family in Neon City?"

Mia said, "That's right.

Caroline's family is quite powerful in Neon City."

Alan smiled and asked, "Is she coming to Pras City to see you?"

Mia said, "She's not just coming to see me. She's coming to work in Pras City!"

Alan asked in confusion, "As the daughter of a big family in Neon City, why doesn't she manage her own family business and instead comes to work in Pras City?"

Mia said, "I'm not really sure. She said she's going to work for the Delaney Group.

But I have no idea why she came all the way here to Delaney."

Alan nodded. Although the Mellon family couldn't compare with the Smith family, it still had some influence in Neon City.

Caroline had no need at all to give up her family's business and come to work at his Delaney Group.

Could it be that this woman had some special purpose for coming to the Delaney Group?

Alan was puzzled, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment.

It seems that we can only wait until Caroline joins the Delaney Group, and then ask Vivian to thoroughly investigate her background.

At this moment, Mia seemed to have thought of something. She slapped her forehead and said,

"By the way, Alan, I've made an appointment for a meeting with the people from the Delaney Group tomorrow and I won't be able to get away.

Can you go to the airport to pick up Caroline for me and arrange a place to give her a welcome dinner by the way?"

Alan agreed, "I'll make arrangements in advance tomorrow."

Mia added, "Oh, and find a nice place. Don't be stingy with money. Take my bank card."

As she spoke, she was about to hand him her wallet.

Alan quickly said, "No need. I have an acquaintance who owns a pretty good restaurant. I can handle the arrangements."

With that, Alan immediately took out his phone and was about to send a text message to Claude at the Ritz-Carlton, asking him to arrange a banquet for him.

But upon careful consideration, he thought that the Ritz-Carlton was supposed to be a surprise for his wife. It would be better to choose another place to entertain Caroline.

So he sent a text message to Mogos instead.

I want to host a banquet to entertain my friends. Please arrange a high-class hotel for me, but not the Ritz-Carlton.

Soon, Mogos replied with a text message: Mr. Alan, don't worry. I own a Western restaurant called Arc de Triomphe.

It's a top restaurant in Pras City that's as famous as the Ritz-Carlton.

Tomorrow, I will definitely arrange the best Diamond Hall and the best banquet for you. I will be waiting for your arrival.

Alan only replied with one word: Hmm.

The next day, Mia spent the whole day at the Delaney Group, busy dealing with matters related to the cooperation.

Alan called Vivian, the vice chairperson of the Delaney Group, to ask her about Caroline's upcoming employment.

Vivian was surprised that Alan knew about this.

Vivian said that Caroline had applied for the position of administrative director, a middle-level management position.

The group thought her resume was good and decided to hire her. She was scheduled to start working in a few days.

So Alan told her to keep an eye on this woman after Caroline joined the company.

If there was any movement, she should report it to him immediately.

After arranging things with Vivian, in the afternoon, Alan went out and took a taxi to the airport, ready to pick up Mia's best friend, Caroline.

When he arrived at the airport by taxi and was about to go to the arrival hall, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class suddenly came to a screeching halt and stopped horizontally in front of him.

Mia's cousin, Carlson, suddenly stuck his head out of the car window and frowned at Alan in confusion.

He asked: Alan, what are you doing here?

I'm here to pick up one of Mia's best friends. What are you guys doing here?

Alan frowned and realized that the people in this Mercedes-Benz G-Class were all acquaintances.

Besides Carlson, there were also Saul and Tasha.

Carlson said contemptuously, "You're talking about Miss Caroline, right?

We'll take care of Miss Caroline. We don't need you. Scram!"

Alan gave a cold snort and said, "If you want to scram, do it yourself."

After saying that, Alan ignored them and directly walked into the arrival hall.

Carlson was so angry that he was about to swear, but Tasha beside him quickly reminded him.

Brother, Miss Caroline will be here soon. Grandma has reminded you to leave a good impression on Miss Caroline!

If you can make her your sister-in-law, your status in our family will be unparalleled. Don't bother with this good-for-nothing for now.

Carlson was suddenly jolted awake and almost forgot the main purpose of coming here today.

In fact, giving a welcome reception to Caroline is secondary.

Leaving a good impression on her and then getting her is the most important thing.

The Mellon family has extraordinary strength in Neon City. If he can get together with her.

Then he will rise rapidly, and the Mill family will become even stronger.

So, he suppressed his dissatisfaction with Alan. The people in the car quickly got out and also rushed to the arrival hall.

At this moment, in the crowd, there appeared a particularly eye-catching, young and beautiful woman.

She had long hair and was wearing a white suit dress, which outlined her exquisite figure.

Although she was wearing sunglasses, her skin was as white as porcelain, her lips were like a flame, and her peerless beauty couldn't be hidden at all.

Looking at her carefully, her beauty was no less than Mia's. They could be said to have their own unique charm.

For a moment, the eyes of the people who came to meet the plane outside the passage all focused on her.

Carlson was completely stunned.

Even Saul, who came to watch the excitement, was amazed by her beauty.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder she's a lady from Neon City. Her temperament is really extraordinary."

At this time, Caroline also saw the crowd and quickly walked over.

She waved to them and said, "Carlson, Tasha, and Alan, long time no see!"

Carlson felt a rush of excitement in his heart and took the lead to say, "Long time no see, Caroline. You've become even more beautiful."

Alan smiled and also said, "Long time no see."

Carlson hurriedly said, "Caroline, we knew you were coming.

I specially reserved a private room in the best hotel in Pras City.

It's to give you a welcome reception. Let's go there now."

Caroline glanced at Alan and said to Carlson apologetically,

"Carlson, I'm really sorry. I've already made an appointment with Mia and Alan in advance. Let's make another appointment some other time.

Anyway, I'm going to stay in Pras City for a long time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

When Carlson heard this, he was furious inside.

On such an important day, this despicable wimp, Alan, was causing trouble for him. It was really abominable.

So, he deliberately said, "Caroline, to welcome you, I've booked the Arc de Triomphe Western Restaurant, which is the best in Pras City. And it's the Golden Hall with a minimum consumption of 200,000 US dollars!"

As he said this, he looked at Alan contemptuously and smiled.

I wonder which restaurant Alan has booked?

If the place is too low-class, won't it be disrespectful to Caroline!"

    Ito Keiko also stood up quickly and knelt down right behind her aunt. "Allen‑kun, please accept my bow of gratitude!" she said sincerely.Allen let out a soft sigh and spoke earnestly, "Please both of you get up. There is really no need for this. By chance, I lent the Ito family some help, but in the end, it is the Ito family’s own good fortune that allowed you to survive this disaster."Only then did Ito Emi and Keiko rise to their feet.Ito Emi turned to Ito Takehiko. "Brother, Mr. Allen is right. Beyond his help, our family has truly met with rare good fortune. We can absorb the market shares left behind by the Takahashi and Matsumoto clans. With the Takahashi family badly weakened, we can push forward our partnership talks with the Bruce family. At this point, the Bruce family will have no other choice but us.""No!" Ito Takehiko replied without the slightest hesitation. "From now on, we will not enter into any form of cooperation with the Bruce family."Ito Emi could not hide her

    Allen told him the truth, "I was originally in Osaka to take over Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s production lines there. I heard Miss Keiko was staying in Kyoto, and since it was only a forty‑minute drive from Osaka to Kyoto, I decided to go visit her. I never expected to arrive just as the Fujibayashi clan’s ninjas were attacking her, so I stepped in."He sighed as he spoke, "It was pure luck. Had I shown up any later, there would have been nothing I could do."Ito Takehiko nodded, filled with lingering fear. "We truly owe everything to you, Mr. Allen."Anger welled up inside him, and he said coldly, "The Fujibayashi ninjas served Takahashi Machi. I cannot for the life of me figure out why he would target me. We were both competing for a partnership with the Bruce family. Even with past frictions and bad blood between us, there was no reason to send assassins after my daughter!"Allen’s brows drew tight at once. "What did you say? The Bruce family? Which Bruce family?!"Ito Takehiko expl

    After the double‑leg amputation, the doctors had put him on a pain pump, so he barely felt any physical agony. Still, constant worry over Ito Keiko, who was far away in Kyoto, kept him from sleeping soundly.He had just dreamed that Keiko had met with misfortune in Kyoto. The nightmare jolted him awake at once, and he intended to tell his younger sister Ito Emi to send people to bring Keiko back to Tokyo without delay.Yet what he had never dreamed of was that when the ward door swung open, his beloved precious daughter Ito Keiko walked in together with his sister Ito Emi."Keiko?!" Ito Takehiko blurted out in shock. "What are you doing here?"Seeing her father lying pale and bloodless on the hospital bed, with thick bandages wrapped around his knees and everything below gone forever, Ito Keiko burst into tears and cried out, "Oto‑san!"She rushed over to the bedside, grabbed Ito Takehiko’s hand, and wept bitterly.It took Ito Takehiko a moment to collect himself. Relieved and deeply

    Sitting in the passenger seat, Ito Keiko stayed tense throughout the whole ride. Even though Ito Takehiko had said over the phone that he was out of danger, Keiko still harbored quiet worries.A little over three hours later, Allen pulled into Tokyo and stopped at the gate of the University of Tokyo Hospital, the top‑rated medical facility in the city.This hospital boasted Japan’s highest global ranking and represented the nation’s pinnacle of medical care.Once the car came to a full stop, Keiko could not wait to push open the door and get out. Before stepping out, however, she turned to Allen and asked, "Allen‑kun, will you come upstairs with me?"Allen looked slightly awkward. "Your father might not want to see me."Keiko said earnestly, "Allen‑kun, you saved my life. No matter how big the misunderstandings or grudges between you two are, I believe Father will no longer hold them against you!"Allen thought for a brief moment and replied, "Very well, I will go with you."His reaso

    Allen couldn’t help laughing and said, “If your dad heard that, he’d probably be furious.”Ito Keiko stuck out her tongue. She was about to speak when her phone suddenly vibrated.She looked confused. “Who would be calling this late? Could the servants have noticed we snuck out?”She quickly pulled out her phone and gasped in surprise. “Oh no, it’s Father!”She never expected her father to call her so late at night.She said nervously to Allen, “Allen‑kun, I need to take this call from my father…”Allen nodded with a smile. “Go ahead.”Keiko quickly answered the phone and asked cautiously, “Father, why are you calling me so late? Is something wrong?”Ito Takehiko’s weak voice came over the line. “Keiko, I’ve had an accident. I’m calling to make sure you’re safe. Is everything all right over in Kyoto?”Keiko asked anxiously, “Father! What happened to you? Are you badly hurt?”Takehiko replied, “Tanaka and I were hunted down by attackers. We barely managed to escape. But I’m afraid they

    Upon hearing those words, Matsumoto Yoshito completely broke down. He lifted his head and shouted hysterically, “Why! Why wipe out my entire Matsumoto clan?! Why push for total extermination?!”The woman let out a cold laugh. “This is the price you pay for provoking the Bruce family!”Tears instantly streamed down Matsumoto Yoshito’s face. Mixed with blood, they made his whole look utterly gruesome.All will to live had deserted him. He mumbled, “Kill me. Kill me right now.”The woman nodded and pulled out a sunflower‑seed‑shaped carving of white jade from her pocket. “Matsumoto Yoshito, before you die, I want you to remember my name. I’m Suzie.”With a flick of her wrist, the jade sunflower seed shot forward at high speed.The next instant, a tiny bloody hole appeared in the center of Matsumoto Yoshito’s forehead. All life drained from his body, and he crashed to the ground, dead.Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.The police chief finally breathed a sigh of reli
