James nervously eximed, “What do you mean by this? I don’t understand!”


    As he spoke, James’s mind raced. He realized that the young man standing before him harbored malicious intentions. His immediate concern was how to escape this predicament. The first thought that crossed his mind was to call for help.


    “On this hotel floor, there are at least 40 or 50 of my subordinates, many of whom are skilled fighters. Theirbined strength is formidable, and this young man poses no match for them. Yet, the fact that he could enter my room so quietly indicates he possesses considerable power. Based on what Fitz and Zara described, he has taken down numerous elite Japanese ninjas single-handedly, which underscores his exceptional strength. Even if my subordinates were to confront him together, I fear he could eliminate them before I even manage to call for assistance.”


    With that thought, he promptly abandoned the idea of seeking help.


    “But if I don’t call for help, what should I do next? What if he intends to kill me?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As James struggled with his thoughts, Xion made her entrance. Upon seeing her, James gasped, “Xion, what are you doing here?!”


    Xion regarded him coldly and replied, “What? Are you disappointed to see that I’m still alive?”


    James quickly rified, “Xion, don’t misunderstand me. You are the daughter of my older brother, and you are my niece. How could I wish harm upon you?”


    With gritted teeth, Xion retorted, “James, stop pretending to be the good guy! Your Banks family treated me like expendable fodder and handed me over to the Japanese Self-Defense Force. Isn’t that true?”


    James defended himself, saying, “Xion, that decision was made by your grandfather, not me.”


    Furious, Xion snapped, “He is not my grandfather! He is a cruel and shameless scoundrel. One day, I will take my revenge on him!”


    Observing Xion’s emotional outburst, Charlie interjected coolly, “Xion, you must learn to control your emotions at all times. Otherwise, no matter how talented you may be, achieving mastery will be difficult!”


    For most practitioners, training focuses on physical strength and endurance. With diligent practice, their temperament and emotions typically have little effect on their abilities. However, for someone like Xion, who has trained in internal martial arts from a young age and harnessed internal energy, mental stability is crucial. Apse in control could lead to stagnation, making breakthroughs nearly impossible.


    Taking Charlie’s advice to heart, Xionposed herself and said, “Thank you, Master Wade, for the reminder. I was too impulsive.”


    James then pointed at Charlie, eximing, “Wait… yourst name is Wade?!”


    Charlie nodded, “Yes, myst name is Wade.”<fnd5c7> Find the newest release on Find~Novel</fnd5c7>


    James blurted out, “You’re part of the Wade family?!”


    After muttering to himself, he quickly added, “That’s impossible! I’ve never heard of any masters from the Wade family.”


    As those words left his lips, he looked up at Charlie again. The more he stared, the more familiar the young man appeared. After a moment of intense thought, a face suddenly came to mind, one that shocked him!


    James stared at Charlie and eximed, “Why do you resemble Bruce? What is your connection to him?!”


    Charlie dropped his yful demeanor, replying coldly, “Bruce is my father. I am his son, Charlie!”
