Even though Xion scoffed at Charlie’s performance, it was his outward appearance that caused her to lower her guard a bit. She moved closer and took a seat right beside him. Once settled, Xion spent some time silently observing Charlie. This wasn’t due to any doubts she had about him but rather her instinctive caution. In any new environment, her first action is to gain a deeper understanding of it to gather useful information.<fn3d82> Content originallyes from find~novel</fn3d82>
As she studied Charlie, she noted that he was undeniably handsome and had an appealing look. However, when she caught her own reflection asionally, his direct gaze made her feel slightly ufortable.
Deciding to break the silence, Xion turned to Charlie with a smile and asked, “Mr. Are you Chinese?”
Charlie was taken aback that this female assassin from the Banks Family would initiate a conversation with him. He feigned surprise and replied, “Beauty, how did you figure out I’m Chinese? This isn’t a flight to China.”
Xion smiled subtly and replied earnestly, “There’s a clear distinction between Japanese boys and Chinese boys. For example, Japanese boys typically shave their eyebrows, and their hairstyles and clothing styles differ significantly.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Charlie chuckled and said, “You’re really observant, beauty.”
Xion nodded and inquired, “Which part of China are you from?”
Charlie casually responded, “I’m from the southern region.”
“Oh?” Xion raised an eyebrow and smiled, “The southern region is lovely. There’s a saying, ‘Heaven is above, and Eastcliff is below.’ The soil and water there are quite nourishing.”
Then, Xion asked, “By the way, since you’re from the southern region, you must know the Webb family, right?”
Being a well-informed and seasoned individual, Xion’s first thought upon hearing Charlie mention his southern origin was to assess whether he was lying.
She sensed that if this man was truthful, he could potentially be a valuable ally. In the event of any unforeseen circumstances during their trip, he could serve as a useful shield, enhancing her safety.
Upon hearing Xion reference the Webb family, Charlie understood she was trying to verify his origins. With a smile, he said, “Who doesn’t know the Webb family? The current head is Donald, and he has two sons: Sean and Kian. That Kian is quite notorious; I’ve heard he has some peculiar habits and has to eat poop regrly. Quite remarkable, really.”
Xionughed and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so familiar with the Webb family’s affairs.”
Charlie grinned and said yfully, “Of course! Who wouldn’t know about the Webb family in the southern region?”
Then, lowering his voice, he added, “Let me share something more thrilling!”
Xion nodded, “I’m all ears.”
Charlie gestured for her to lean in and said, “Come closer, and I’ll share it with you.”
Xion frowned slightly and responded in a cool tone, “You can just tell me.”
Charlie feigned innocence, saying, “How can I share such a secret openly in front of everyone? If you want to hear it,e closer. If not, then forget it.”
Xion’s frustration surged as she perceived Charlie’s intentions to take advantage of her, thinking that he might be trying to flirt with her.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
