As Charlie gently held the tweezers, carefully tending to her wound, Xion found her feelings toward this enigmatic man shifting. Despite their previous conflict, her heart softened just a bit.


    Curiosity getting the best of her, Xion turned to Charlie and asked, “Hey… I don’t know your name yet!”


    Charlie offered a faint smile and replied, “Does my name really matter to you?”


    Xion feigned annoyance, retorting, “You cheated mest time! I haven’t let that go yet! So yes, your name is quite significant to me!”


    Charlie nodded in understanding and said, “I cheated you because your actions against the Matsumoto family were a bit excessive. Since you’re Chinese, you must know about your ancestors. Don’t you see how your actions could endanger your own family?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Xion’s expression turned slightly guilty as she exined, “I did what I did, but I was following orders. The family head specificallymanded that the Matsumoto family suffer greatly, so I carried out his wishes and led the charge against them.”


    Charlie probed, “The family head you mentioned, is it Zayne or Lord Banks?”


    Xion replied in a hushed tone, “It’s Zayne…”


    Charlie scoffed, a mixture of disdain and self-mockery in his voice, “Zayne, that old fool, has had such good fortune. I identally saved his son and daughter, Fitz and Zara. And today, I had to rescue his illegitimate daughter while I waspletely drunk!”


    Xion gasped, “Wait, what? You saved Fitz and Zara?!”


    Charlie nodded, looking ufortable as he said, “Yes, I did. I had no idea they were Zayne’s children. Had I known, I wouldn’t have saved them!”


    Intrigued, Xion inquired, “Do you have a deep-seated grudge against him?”


    Charlie met her gaze seriously, dering, “I definitely have an antagonism toward him!”


    He continued, “One day, I will make him kneel before me, begging for forgiveness, and at that moment, I might just take his head. Whether he lives or dies will depend on his own luck!”<fn47a2> Readplete version only at FιndNovel</fn47a2>


    Unbeknownst to Charlie, the death of his parents was intricately linked to Zayne. From the information he had collected, it was clear that Zayne had been a relentless adversary of his father, even forming the infamous Anti-Leaf Alliance.


    However, the extent of Zayne’s involvement in his parents’ deaths remained a mystery. Charlie spected that three parties bore responsibility: the Wade family, the Banks Family, and the European Rothschild family.


    Yet, he had yet to determine which of these parties held the most culpability.


    Xion, taken aback by Charlie’s revtions, cautiously asked, “Could you share what exactly your issue with him is?”


    Charlie replied nonchntly, “You don’t need to pry into those details.”


    Xion nodded, visibly disappointed, and then asked, “So… can you tell me your name?”


    Charlie answered simply, “Myst name is Wade, and my first name is Charlie.”


    Xion murmured to herself, “Wade… Charlie? Could it be…?”


    Suddenly, she looked intently at Charlie and eximed, “Are you part of the Wade family?!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
