The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 6990

Nanako said, “This platform is very respected in the underground network. They have successfully acted as middlemen and referees for many similar events, so people trust them a lot.”

“There are five of these one billion US dollars in Bitcoin,” she continued. “Some of it will pay the platform’s fees, and they will also fairly investigate to find out who killed Tawana. I believe many killer groups and gangs in Japan have heard about this. With such a huge reward, they will definitely fight hard for it. Even if they die along with Tawana, they can still leave their families a life of wealth and comfort.”

Charlie Wade frowned and said, “This is complicated. The hidden money is so large that it could tempt anyone, even to the point of death.”

“Many desperate people would risk their lives for this money to help their families. Even the bodyguards of the Mitsui family might be tempted to kill Tawana. Honestly, we don’t even know if her boyfriend can resist that temptation,” he added.

Charlie then said, “In this situation, we can’t rely on the US Embassy or the Japanese police for help. If someone there wants that one billion dollars for their family, Tawana’s life would be in serious danger.”

“Compared to that, the Mitsui family might be a bit safer. They probably won’t take the billion dollars seriously, and for the sake of their reputation, they will likely try their best to protect Tawana. But it’s unclear if they have the power to keep her safe,” he explained.

“Yeah…” Nanako said, looking worried.

“That’s why I asked Charlie for help…”

Charlie looked at her and asked, “What do you want me to do?”

Nanako replied, “Charlie, I hope you can keep Xinmei and her family safe. I just talked to Xinmei, and she told me that Tawana has been staying at her house lately, and she’ll be there tonight too. I’m worried that those who want to get their hands on that $1 billion will take risks and target the Mitsui family.”

She continued, “Xinmei is my best friend, and I don’t want her to be in danger. As for Tawana, even though I don’t know her personally, she is a famous singer. If something happens to her at the Mitsui family’s home, it would bring a lot of trouble to them, and that’s why I really hope you can protect her too…”

Nanako looked at Charlie with concern and asked, “Is my request too much?”

Charlie felt a bit awkward for a moment. He understood how tempting that $1 billion was. He thought about how many people might try to get into the Mitsui house tonight to harm Tawana.

Even though he was strong, facing a crowd of enemies alone would be tough. Protecting himself while also trying to save Tawana would be a lot harder. He wasn’t completely confident he could do it.

So, he asked Nanako, “Does Hattori Hanzo know who or which groups this secret flower has contacted?”

Nanako replied, “I asked Hattori Hanzo, and he said he doesn’t know for sure. But he mentioned that the other party had contacted several powerful groups and there’s a lot of competition.”

The situation was tense. The Iga ninjas needed to act quickly. If they could eliminate Tawana first, they would claim the one billion dollars for themselves. But if other groups got to her first, the Iga ninjas would be left with nothing, no matter how much they paid.

Charlie Wade said, “At least I can guarantee that the Iga ninjas won’t betray you. This way, they can still be useful.”

Then Charlie continued, “Here’s the plan: ask Hattori Hanzo to gather his team and head to Tokyo Dome right away. From today on, the Iga ninjas will take orders from me. As for Tawana, she will need to stay at Mitsui’s house for now. If it comes down to it, I’ll go there tonight to keep an eye on things!”
