In the car, Takehiko said to Charlie: “Mr. Wade, Nippon Steel’s Hashimoto, has been taken to the dock by the ninja I sent.”
Charlie nodded in satisfaction: “Thank you, Mr. Ito.”
Takehiko hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade doesn’t have to be so polite, it’s all I should do.”
After driving for forty minutes, the convoy arrived at the huge port of Tokyo.
The entire Port of Tokyo covers a large area, at least several kilometers along the coastline.
Most of the berths are exclusive berths for ultra-large oil tankers and container freighters. These berths are close to the operation area. Not only are there many workers working here, but they are also the worst-hit areas for smuggling, so customs inspections are very strict.
The berth Ito prepared for Charlie and Warnia was actually a relatively simple and small wharf.
This type of terminal can only dock ships under a few thousand tons, and the monitoring is relatively lax.
In fact, smuggling does not start from embarking, because Tokyo Port is still within Japan’s territory and territorial waters, so embarking from here is not illegal.
Boarding from here, as long as you don’t leave the country without authorization, don’t enter the high seas without authorization, it is all reasonable and legal.
At this time, several small and medium-sized yachts were docked at the pier, the largest of which was a luxury cruise ship prepared by Takehiko for Charlie.
The convoy drove directly to the dock and stopped directly at the boarding gate of the yacht. Although Takehiko lost his legs, he was still helped by someone in a wheelchair and got out of the car.
After Charlie and Warnia got off the car, Takehiko said, “Mr. Wade, the crew and the captain are my confidantes, you can rest assured!”
Charlie nodded slightly: “There is Mr. Takehiko, I don’t have to worry.”
Takehiko hurriedly said, “You don’t have to be so polite!”
Charlie looked at the time, and said to the father and daughter Ito Takehiko, “It’s not early, we have to hurry up, so we won’t talk more with them, we will have some time later!”
Takehiko Ito hugged his fists and said respectfully: “Mr. Wade, there will be a period later!”
Nanako said dishearteningly: “Master, there will be a period later!”
Charlie looked at her and smiled slightly and said, “Nanako, please take care!”
