Se connecterAfter thinking about it for a while, Stephen sighed and said, "Since you've taken the trouble to ask, then I shall give you the truth… Ms. Golding's parents were best friends with Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker, and they've mutually decided to betroth Ms. Golding to Master Charlie."And since she was a child, Ms. Golding always considered herself Master Charlie's fiancee. Even though he had gone missing for decades, she still held on to that conviction."Claire was shocked by the answer.But more than that, her heart hurt—not just because Charlie hid his heritage from her, but because she knew for a fact that Charlie and Quinn were reunited! Why else would Charlie bring her along to have dinner with Quinn?! That left Claire even more troubled.To some extent, she could understand why Charlie would hide his heritage from her.But he brought her along to meet another woman, with whom he was engaged to! All while she was still kept in the dark!That part was a bit too much to take.
Stephen smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Mrs. Wade. We're not keeping this from Master Charlie forever—once the dust settles and he exacts his revenge, we will tell him the truth."Claire pursed her lips, nodding after pondering for a long while. "If that's what's best for Charlie, then let's go with that. We will disappear from his world.""May I ask when you intend to do so?" Stephen asked. "I will make all the arrangements."Claire was suddenly hesitant, and thought about it for a long while until she eventually said, "Charlie agreed to spend the New Year's with us in the Maldives. We've been married for years, but we've never gone anywhere together, so I'd rather not miss it. "Also, it's Charlie's birthday on the second day of the second month in the Oskian calendar. I'd like to celebrate it with him… if it's not too much to ask?"Stephen nodded in understanding. "I know where you're coming from, but may I ask what plans you have on that day? Or where you might be? So we can
Stephen smiled wryly. "Far as I know, even ten Master Charlie as he is now won't stand a chance."His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were clear looked Claire straight in the eye and sighed, "Please, Mrs. Wade. That is why I'm asking that you leave Master Charlie for the time being. He never told you anything because he didn't want to get you involved—to protect you. "However, it also puts him under a lot of pressure and distracts him. Surely you remember the time when your mother went missing for a while?"Claire nodded. "Yeah, she was tricked into a pyramid scheme…""That's not actually the case," Stephen smiled, shaking his head. "Your mother stole Master Charlie's debit card, which contained ten billion Oskian dollars that Jeremiah Wade entrusted me to wire into his account. Once your mother managed to find the pin code, she wired all the money to herself."Master Charlie was therefore worried he would be exposed, and lied that it was a fake debit card to cover his tracks. He
Even before Claire could understand what Jeevika was saying, she could see the withering flowers coming to life again.The flowers that had turned ashen brown were suddenly vibrant and colorful again, the dried twigs and petals fresh and alive.Having never seen anything like that before, Claire was left completely dumbfounded.In her mind, life once lost couldn't be regained.So why was Jeevika able to restore life to those flowers?It really shattered everything she was taught for years, or what she thought of this world.But soon, she could even smell the faint fragrant scent of the flowers—it was fresh and natural. It was no sleight of hand—it was definitely nothing short of pure magic!Gaping at Jeevika, she blurted, 'H-How did you do this? How are you capable of such miracles?""Amitabha," Jeevika replied calmly. "But such paltry sticks are insignificant to Master Charlie's power."Claire was even more dumbstruck at that. "You're saying… Charlie can do this too?!""Of
As Claire didn't answer, Stephen continued, "And what if I told you that the enemy's dead soldiers are stationed everywhere across the world, hiding in places that no one would ever think to find? That they are ready to kill—even if it means getting killed in return? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"And what if I told you that the enemy is an endlessly sadistic demon who lived four hundred years strong, whose mystical powers stand above the rest of the world? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"Claire blurted in shock, "T-That's impossible! This is the real world, not some fantasy! No one could live for four hundred years, or wield mystical powers!"Pausing, her expression cooled as it soon occurred to her, and she said solemnly, "You can be frank if you believe that I don't deserve Charlie, or it's Charlie who thinks that. I can leave anytime you need without dragging my feet, so don't you think it's ironic you'd use such excuses to beguil
Claire felt like her world just turned upside down.Never could she have expected that Charlie wasn't just the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, that he was born into such devastating tragedy and conspiracy.The Wades of Eastcliff were already amongst the strongest families in Oskia, while Charlie's own parents were the most famous Oskian prodigies in the world. However, even they couldn't survive against the enemies who lurked in the shadows, and were forced to send Charlie to an orphanage, burying his identity to keep him safe.At that point, one must consider how terrible Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker's enemies were.Knowing that, Claire couldn't care less to nitpick on the many lies Charlie told her, and asked worriedly, "Is that syndicate still after Charlie now?""Yes!" Stephen nodded repeatedly, his tone solemn. "If they know that he's alive, they will hunt him down however they can!"Claire balled her knuckles before she knew it in rage. "How could they bear so much animosit
When Charlie’s voice suddenly rang out, the group of ninjas who were all so well-trained were all startled by his voice!None of them would have expected that they, who were the best at secretly tailing others, would actually be tailed by someone too!Furthermore, before this person spoke up, none of
When Charlie heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, “The character of the Kobayashi family is extremely unreliable. There was not only a precedent where they wanted to steal my magical pill, but there was also a case where Jiro paid a huge sum of money to take the life of his brother. If we
The reason why Charlie came was because he was giving Nanako face. He simply wanted to offer them help if he could.However, since Yahiko’s legs were already amputated and since his life was no longer in danger, there was no need for him to be here anymore. He also did not want to go and meet Yahiko
Before he fell, Hiroshi’s words kept replaying through Yahiko’s mind.As long as he did not fall to the ground with his face or belly down, he would certainly have a chance to survive, then.Thus, he struggled to adjust his body when he was in mid-air, and he landed heavily with his legs hitting the g
