'By the looks of it, I have to stay as far away from him a s possible, and I will not let him have the chance to return to Wade family!' 4 Meanwhile, at Schulz' residence. 2 Sitting in front of the computer in the study, Sophie was looking over the summary and briefing of information gathered from all over the country.
Since her return from Japan, the image of Charlie kept occupying her mind, no matter if she was awake or asleep. She got all fidgety because of him. 3 However, she did not tell anyone about this, not even her brother or mother.

To quickly replenish Schulz family's significant loss 0 f combat power, her grandfather, Cadfan, decided to search for a new group of martial artists at all costs. She immediately recommended the mysterious man t 0 Cadfan, claiming how he was so powerful that recruiting him would tremendously increase the family's combat power. Overjoyed, Cadfan ordered Sophie to find the man, but she didn't even know where to start. 4 The family's informants inquired about the man locally as well as in Japan, but no one had heard of such a powerful master.
There was a long list in the roster of martial artists, where a list of all the top masters with mastery, origin, and fwas recorded. As Charlie was not part of the circle, he was not known by any of the martial arts practitioners at all. It was even more difficult to figure out any information about him.
Moreover, among the martial artists at this stage, there were almost none who matched the strength and ability described by Sophie. 2 Sdomestic martial artists were as strong as Japanese ninjas and seven outdid them. No one, however, could totally annihilate the entire troupe of ninjas and cout unharmed.
After her fruitless search, Sophie decided to retrieve the entry and exit records from the Japanese customs and filter the possible candidates based on nationality and approximate age group. 1 However, ever since Schulz family committed a massacre in Japan, Japan's homeland security had tightened customs. 1 Schulz family could easily obtain Japan's immigration records back then, but now, they couldn't get their hands on even half of the information by any means.

While she was looking for clues about the mysterious man in Oskia, she was also trying every possible way to break through the layers of Japanese monitoring to get the immigration records as soon as possible. Unfortunately, her efforts were to no avail due to stricter regulations and a tight lip on information on the Japanese side.
Just as she was at a loss, a female friend of hers who was somewhat influential in Japan called. "Sophie, I can't get the Japanese immigration information and records for the tbeing, but I have found an indirect way for you. Whether this method is feasible or not depends on your patience." Sophie quickly replied, "What is it? Spill the beans already! I have all the patience in the world! I will find him even if you askedto find a needle in a haystack!"
The friend laughed. "Here's the thing. Although Japan's homeland security blocks the customs records, they do not seal off the airport video surveillance, neither do they keep a copy of the footage for themselves. They also don't upload them to the customs' servers. I can get you a copy of this surveillance footage, and you may be
