The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family -
Chapter 2095
As Reuben watched the helicopters take off in fours, the fleet quickly expanded to nearly twenty helicopters, which made him feel bewildered and shocked!
Unable to comprehend the current situation, he thought to himself, 'What the hell is this?! Are twenty helicopters truly necessary just for a fifteen-kilometer journey?! This is unbelievable!'
'Besides, who is Charlie's friend in Tokyo anyway? Renting twenty helicopters requires a lot of money! Why are they so wasteful?!'
Tokyo citizens were also stunned by the convoy of helicopters howling in the sky at this moment. They all stopped and looked up, wondering if something big had happened or what kind of big shot had visited the city.
Reuben started to feel uneasy and jittery as he couldn't figure out Charlie's motive.
Although he was not close to Charlie, nor were they friends, they could regard each other as acquaintances. If they wanted to meet, they could set a time and venue to meet. Why did Charlie have to do all this?!
At this moment, more and more helicopters took off from the rooftops of high-rise buildings and joined the
convoy.
Soon, the total number of helicopters in the convoy exceeded thirty. 4
Reuben had never experienced such a bizarre fleet before, and it made him feel slightly weirded out and scared! The contempt he had held in his heart earlier had already dispersed. 1
His subconscious mind was telling him that Charlie seemed to be much more powerful than he thought, including his Japanese friend whom he had never met before.
Perhaps this friend of his was a big shot in Tokyo!
More than thirty helicopters circled over downtown Tokyo and finally hovered over a private manor.
At this moment, Reuben found that the thirty or so helicopters around him had turned into a circular formation, surrounding his helicopter in the middle, and his own helicopter was slowly descending. 1 Reuben looked down at the manor covering an enormous land below and asked the beautiful woman in surprise, "Excuse me, where is this?" 4
The woman replied, "This is where our Young Miss lives."
Reuben didn't know where exactly the Ito residence was, so he could not recognize whose family this mansion below belonged to. However, from the look of the location, size of the residence area, and the architectural style, it was clear that this was definitely not the home to an ordinary family.
As the helicopter slowly descended, Reuben's heart started to beat vigorously.
Panicked, he secretly thought, 'If Charlie's Tokyo friend comes from such a powerful and wealthy background, then his or her influence must not be underestimated. If Charlie asks for his friend's help to investigate Jasmine's matter, I will definitely be exposed!' 2
Earlier, Reuben had thought that there was no point for Charlie to come to Japan personally because he was unfamiliar with the surroundings and people here. Without sufficient networks and manpower to help, it would be challenging and complicated to investigate Jasmine's whereabouts or even her death.
In truth, the vast majority of people would share the same problem, where their power and influence would be greatly affected due to their location.
For example, Albert was the king of the underworld in Aurous Hill who held great power locally, but once he was out of Aurous Hill, even to Sudbury, his influence would be greatly reduced. If he came to Tokyo, with his mediocre influence in Aurous Hill, a random mob would still dare to beat him up.
This was because the vast majority of Albert's power was only effective when he was in Aurous Hill, and the further he was away from the city, the less his influence was.
Reuben had initially thought that the same theory could be applied to Charlie. Charlie was very influential and pompous in Aurous Hill because a lot of local big shots and powerful people supported him, but his influence was bound to decline significantly once he had left Aurous Hill. He probably couldn't even get a few assistants to help him in investigating Jasmine's matter. 3
However, from the looks of things, Reuben had finally realized how ignorant he had been.
