Yahiko and Hiroshi jogged in Central Park for nearly half an hour, but they still hadn’t had enough of running.
If it was not time for the birthday banquet to start, the two of them would have been able to run until midnight in one go.
On the way back, Yahiko was very happy. As he wiped his sweat off with his hands, he said to Hiroshi, “Hiroshi, I haven’t run enough just now. I’ll go for a morning run at six o’clock in the morning tomorrow. I will run three laps around Central Park!”
Hiroshi immediately said respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Ito!”
Nanako could not help but remind him, “Otou-san, you’ve just recovered, so it’d be better for you not to exercise too vigorously.”
Yahiko waved his hand and said seriously, “According to Mr. Wade’s instructions, I cannot go out for a run so casually after returning to Japan, so I should try to walk and run as much as possible in the United States since not many people know me here. After I return to Japan, I still have to pretend to be a disabled person in front of everyone.”
When Nanako heard this, she nodded gently with understanding and did not insist any more.
However, Nanako suddenly thought of something and said expectantly, “Otou-san, since you enjoy the feeling where no one knows you, we might as well stay for a few more days in New York.”
“Okay!” Yahiko agreed without hesitation and said with a smile, “I can only live a life of seclusion after returning to Japan. I feel a little reluctant just thinking about it. It would be great if I can spend a few more days in the United States!”
Nanako was also very happy as she actually wanted to stay in New York for a little longer. After all, Charlie was here, and she would be able to spend more time with him if she stayed.
So, she could not help but ask Charlie, “Charlie-kun, how long are you going to stay in New York?”
Charlie did not know how to respond to Nanako’s question.
In truth, he had basically settled everything that had to be done.
He had already wiped out Martha and most of her accomplices as well as the entire criminal syndicate behind her.
Moreover, Clarissa, who had escaped, was being monitored closely by the people from Ten Thousand Armies. As long as Clarissa was captured, his mother-in-law, Elaine, would be cleared of her suspicion and regain her freedom.
The reason why he had not asked the people from Ten Thousand Armies to capture Clarissa immediately was also because he had wanted to save Merlin first and then heal Yahiko, Hiroshi, and Yashita.
