The thought of Nanako walking alone on a long road weighed heavily on Charlie’s mind.

He knew he couldn’t let her travel that path alone.

Determined to see her journey through to the end, he stood up, took the wine glass from Yuhiko Ito’s hand, and said firmly, “Mr. Ito, don’t worry.

I promise you that no matter how long the road is, I’ll always be there for Nanako.”

Tears streamed down Yuhiko Ito’s face as he humbly bowed his head.

In that moment, he realized that he need not worry about whether or not Charlie would become his son-in-law. If Nanako and Charlie were on the same path, it didn’t matter whether they were married or not.

With a grateful heart, Yuhiko Ito stood up, looked at Charlie, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Wade, for your success!”

To Yuhiko Ito, entrusting Nanako to Charlie at this moment was like a wedding, where a father entrusted his daughter to the groom.

No matter how long Nanako’s life path might be, he hoped that Charlie would always be by her side, so she wouldn’t have to walk alone.

“As long as Charlie agrees, nothing else matters in the life journey that may last a hundred or two hundred years, or even longer. Married or not, it doesn’t matter if you give away all the Ito family’s property. Money isn’t something you’re born with and you can’t take it with you when you die.”

Nanako wept on the side, realizing that entering the world of martial arts meant changing the direction of her life.

Once she set her sights on this new path, everything she had planned for the past two decades would undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

She was about to embark on a new way of living.

When she saw her father’s tearful eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of hesitation.

She lost her mother as a child and received double the love from her father. But the thought of the long journey of martial arts, and the idea of dedicating herself to it, made her realize that time would fly by like a galloping horse.

Accompanying her father was a rare luxury for her, let alone the Ito Group, which was his lifelong labor of love.

He had entrusted it all to her, so how could she just abandon him and the company?

The thought of it made her choke up.

“Dad… I don’t want martial arts to be my main focus.

I want to spend more time with you, and I want to run the Ito Group well.”

Yuhiko Ito asked her a question in return, “Nanako, do you know why I worked so hard to run the Ito Group even after your mother passed away, even though I already had more money than I could spend?”
