Charlie’s words instilled a deep fear in the man standing before him.


    He couldn’t shake off the memory of the bloodbath from just a few hours earlier, when Charlie single-handedly incapacitated him and his subordinates.


    Such terrifying power was something he had never encountered before.


    What frightened him even more was the fact that he had never witnessed Charlie make a single move!


    Charlie hadn’t even touched them directly.<fn6236> Discover more novels at findnovel</fn6236><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This was the aspect that disappointed him the most.


    Based on his understanding of martial arts masters, even someone from the Dark Realm couldn’t execute such an extraordinary long-range attack!


    The internal strength and qi of a martial arts master typically allow for only limited aerial bullying, with a significant reduction in power over distance.


    Yet Charlie could unleash such lethal force without any physical contact at all; in his view, this strength bordered on the divine!


    He vividly recalled the moment when his dental tes were crushed, and venom flooded his system, only for Charlie to use a mysterious force to extract all the toxins from his body.


    Even now, he could feel the venom still present in his belly, tightly encased by that enigmatic power,pletely isting it from his body.


    At that moment, Charlie appeared to him as a death god brandishing a sickle.


    Overwhelmed by fear, he blurted out a desperate plea, “Sir, please, grant me mercy… kill me…”


    “Do you seek happiness?” Charlie replied with a sneer, his tone casual. “To be honest, the people you intended to kill today are my grandparents’ family. Do you truly believe I would grant you happiness? If you desire joy, then I will ensure you endure suffering—suffering for a lifetime.”


    With a cold re, Charlie continued, “You’re only in your thirties. Even without limbs, you should be able to live for a few more decades. I happen to possess some elixirs that can extend life. Living another sixty or seventy years should be quite feasible for you. Plus, with modern advancements, there are drugs that can magnify pain a hundredfold. Thebination will ensure that each day of your life is filled with new torment!”


    Upon hearing this, the man suddenly smiled, shaking his head in disbelief, “Impossible… Even without your mercy, I will surely die in a few days…”


    Charlie frowned and asked coldly, “What? Do you think you can still take your own life?”


    The man shook his head, offering a wry smile, “I’m like a ghost now; I have no ability tomit suicide.”


    Then, he smiled bitterly and added, “For people like us, we only have seven days to live once we emerge. If we can’t return to life within that time, our skin and muscles will burst, leading to our demise. By then, I’ll rot here, turning into a puddle of flesh and blood. Don’t be too shocked when it gets messy.”


    “Seven days?” Charlie scoffed, stepping closer and cing his hand atop the man’s head.


    In an instant, a surge of spiritual energy flowed into the man’s body from the point between his brows.


    It was at that moment that Charlie realized this individual’s physique was indeed unlike that of ordinary people.


    None of the eight extraordinary meridians were connected, yet his physical strength rivaled that of a five-star warrior, with bones as sturdy as steel.


    Moreover, despite the absence of his limbs, the remaining muscles exuded a powerful vitality, with a heartbeat that was far stronger than average, each pulse akin to a high-pressure pump driving blood forcefully through his veins.
