After Charlie made his statement, both he and Ma Kui were already sweating profusely.


    Struggling to swallow, Ma Kui asked nervously, “Mr. Wade, did you reallye to Mexico all by yourself just to check on us?”


    Charlie responded with a question of his own, “Who said I was alone?”


    Upon hearing this, both Ma Kui and hispanion grew even more anxious.


    Charlie then gestured to Trent, who was standing beside him, and said casually, “Didn’t my brother and Ie together?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Ma Kui was taken aback, standing frozen in ce and trembling uncontrobly.


    Although Charlie had not mentioned Lang’s Red Army, its mere mention filled Ma Kui with dread. He had already gathered information about Trent, leading him to the conclusion that Trent was unaware of the situation.


    However, the fact that Charlie had traveled with Trent and encountered him on the ne suggested that Charlie was well aware of their ns and knew they intended to target Trent. This realization sent chills down Ma Kui’s spine.


    He suddenly understood the saying that high-level hunters often disguise themselves as their prey. It appeared he had unknowingly stumbled into a major trap, not realizing everything was orchestrated by someone else.


    It was almost as if this was the oue someone had been aiming for all along.


    This thought drew a parallel in Ma Kui’s mind to how Africans catch wasps. They use a piece of meat to lure the greedy wasps, only to take it away. Unbeknownst to the hunter, while they focus on the meat, a light feather is attached to them. This feather leads hunters straight to the wasp’s nest, where they eliminate the adult wasps and boil the pupae.


    Ultimately, once the hunters locate the nest, it spells disaster for the entire poption.


    In a moment of desperation, Ma Kui turned to Charlie and asked, “Mr. Wade, do you intend to bring us into your fold?”


    Charlie replied coolly, “Whether or not you join us depends on your capabilities and sincerity. You should call your boss and ask him toe speak with me.”


    After a brief pause for thought, Ma Kui responded respectfully, “Mr. Wade, please wait a moment while I go upstairs to contact our boss.”


    Charlie interjected sharply, “Are you nning to go upstairs after making the call? Just make the call here.”


    Ma Kui quickly rified, “Mr. Wade, you don’t understand. There’s a signal blocker here, so mobile phones won’t work. I need to go upstairs to use thendline.”


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively and urged, “Be quick about it. Go and return swiftly.”


    “Understood!” Ma Kui nodded, giving A Liang a quick signal, and the two rushed out together.<fnff4e> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find~novel</fnff4e>


    Once they reached the ground, A Liang couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked Ma Kui, “Uncle Ma… who is this kid, really?”


    Ma Kui, frustrated, pped A Liang across the face and scolded, “No matter who he is, you brought him here! If he turns out to be trouble, it’ll be a miracle if the boss doesn’t kill you.”


    A Liang, looking crestfallen, replied, “You can’t me me, Uncle Ma… I informed you at the time, and you gave the green light. How can you pin this on me now?”


    Ma Kui shot back coldly, “There’s no time for your excuses. Our top priority is to report the situation to the boss.”


    A Liang pressed on, “Uncle Ma, do you really think this kid is as formidable as he seems? Is his identification legitimate?”
