The Charismatic Charlie Wade

In the afternoon, Samuel Evans, flanked by his eldest son, Desmond, and his second son, Marcus, surreptitiously made their way to Eastcliff alongside Keagan.

Jagoan didn’t immediately return to Thompson First residence. Instead, he headed to his neighboring villa and placed a call to Master Vail, the martial arts instructor in charge. He requested that Isaac and Don Albert be summoned to meet him.

Jagoan had been concerned about the possibility of Isaac’s vanishing without a trace.

Jagoan, as the chief steward of the Jagoan family, had a hidden force supporting him. This led Jagoan to suspect that Isaac, as the family’s representative in Aurous Hill and Thompson’s direct subordinate, might have been strategically placed by someone. Fortunately, Isaac was still at Elys-Champs.

Upon seeing Isaac, Jagoan’s apprehension somewhat eased. He couldn’t deny, though, that learning of Jagoan Thompson’s allegiance to another master was disheartening.

On one hand, Jagoan had been his father’s most faithful aide. Although Jagoan couldn’t demand that loyalty to the Jagoan family, Jagoan’s unwavering support over the years had created a minor emotional rift. On the other hand, Jagoan had placed almost absolute trust in Jagoan. After all, the man had safeguarded him for many years.

Jagoan had arrived in Aurous Hill with the assurance of Jagoan’s unwavering support. It was only today that he discovered Jagoan worked for neither the Jagoan family nor himself. How could Jagoan not feel let down?

His greatest fear now was the potential presence of others like Jagoan in his circle. He dreaded the notion that the enigmatic figure might have seeded various spies around him.

Isaac and Don Albert were among the first individuals he’d met after reclaiming his identity as the Young Master of the Jagoan family. They were also two subordinates he held in high regard. If issues arose with them, it would be a significant blow to Jagoan.

Over ten minutes later, Isaac and Don Albert, who were engaged in martial arts practice, jogged their way to Jagoan’s villa.

As they entered, Isaac respectfully remarked, “Young Master, when did you return? Why didn’t you inform us?”

“Yes, Master Jagoan!” Don Albert chimed in swiftly. “You could have let us pick you up from the airport!”

Jagoan smiled faintly, gesturing them to lower their hands. “I’m only here for a day this time, and I’ll be leaving at night. There was no need to inform others.”

Isaac inquired curiously, “Young Master, where are you off to in such a hurry?”

“America,” Jagoan replied casually, before turning to Isaac. “Isaac, what do you know about Butler Thompson?” As he spoke, Jagoan subtly applied some reiki, influencing Isaac to answer truthfully.

“Butler Thompson?” Isaac detected nothing out of the ordinary. He considered for a moment and honestly replied, “Young Master, while Butler Thompson is my immediate superior, there are spokespeople for the Jagoan family in every province and municipality, as well as many overseas. So, I’m just one of hundreds of spokespeople for the Jagoan family. I’ve only interacted with Butler Thompson during the annual work report meetings in the past, so we didn’t have much contact.”

Jagoan nodded in acknowledgment. It appeared Isaac and Jagoan were not in the same boat.
