At this time, Charlie came out to stop the fight. "Dad, Mom, both of you shouldn't be arguing with one another all the time. After all, no matter what it is, we're still a family after all. Don't be so unpleasant and hostile towards one another." s
Elaine said to Jacob, "I won't deal with you today because I’m showing my good son-in-law some respect!" 2
After dinner, Jacob was watching television in the living room while Elaine was cleaning up in the kitchen. At this time, Claire told Charlie, "Husband, I'm feeling a little tired today. I'll go take a shower first to relieve some of my fatigue."
Charlie nodded before he said, "Wife, fill up the bathtub with water. After that, put some bath salts in the tub so that you can soak in the bathtub and have a good bath."
"Okay, then I will go upstairs first." 6
As soon as Claire went upstairs, Isaac called Charlie and said, "Young Master, the dozen or so masters that Jiro had summoned from Japan have already set off."
"Oh?" Charlie hurriedly asked, "Where did they leave from? Where are they heading to?"
Isaac replied, "All of them left from Aurous International Hotel and they’re all heading directly to
The Apothecary Pharmaceutical. Liam has been working overtime at The Apothecary Pharmaceutical every day. I suspect that they’re planning to kidnap Liam.” 9
Charlie replied, "What about your men? Are they fully prepared?"
Isaac replied, "I've already made all the necessary arrangements and dispatched all of my men. There are more than fifty of them in total and they're all fully equipped with pistols. Meanwhile, the Japanese masters do not have any weapons on them at all. Therefore, there is nothing for us to fear. In addition, Don Albert had also arranged for more than a hundred men to stay in ambush at The Apothecary Pharmaceutical and also on the road there. I can assure you that this group of Japanese men would have little chance to make it out alive this time.”
Charlie asked again, "What about Jiro? Where is he?"
Isaac replied, "Jiro has also set off. I guess he wants to deal with Liam on his own this time.”
Charlie replied, "Okay. Why don't you send me the location? I will rush over there immediately.” 8
