Just moments ago, he had been in the underground operating room for quite a while. After Xion entered alongside other soldiers from Wanlong Hall, she remained above and never made it down, which meant the two of them missed the chance to meet. It was only now that Charlie discovered Xion had alsoe to Mexico.
As Xion gazed at Charlie with affection, she shyly remarked, “Mr. Wade… Master Abbas mentioned that you have a mission for everyone, requiring the involvement of three-star warriors and above. Fortunately, I have just enough three-star warriors, so I flew over from the country.”
Charlie nodded gently and, with a smile, inquired, “Aren’t you using your real identity this time?”
“No,” Xion replied, turning her back to the other Wanlong Pce soldiers. She yfully stuck out her tongue at Charlie and said, “I’ve changed my identity for this mission.”
“Alright,” Charlie said with a slight smile, handing her the drink in his hand. He added politely, as he had addressed the others earlier, “You’ve all worked hard today!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Xion quickly shook her head, insisting, “It’s not hard at all… It’s Ruoli’s honor to serve you, Mr. Wade!”
With a smile, Charlie replied, “Okay, return to the team, and we’ll chat moreter. You’ll be going back to the United States with me tonight. I still need your assistance.”
Xion felt a bit anxious as she said, “Mr. Wade, that Chinese detective has been tracking me. If I go to the United States now, I hope I won’t cause you any trouble.”
Charlie shook his head and sighed, “Li Yalin is no longer able to pursue you; he had an incident a while back, and since then, the cases he was working on have virtually disappeared. Plus, with your new identity, there shouldn’t be an issue.”
“That’s a relief! As long as I can avoid causing trouble for Mr. Wade, I’m fine with leaving. I’ll follow your orders!” Xion felt reassured, and the thought of returning to the United States with Charlie brought her immense joy.
Her mission here was secondary; the main reason she came was to see Charlie. He upied her thoughts day and night, so she naturally sought any opportunity to be near him.
However, Xion felt a tinge of regret. During this mission, there had been almost no chance to meet Charlie. Now that they had finally encountered each other, it seemed that after the celebration toast, everyone would disperse, and she would likely miss the chance to see him again before heading back to China.
But the current moment felt ideal; after the celebration toast, she could return to the United States with Charlie, which meant more opportunities to be together in the future.<fnca85> Official source is f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fnca85>
With that thought in mind, Xion joyfully returned to the team, holding her ss of wine.
Once all the Wanlong Hall members received their celebration drinks and returned to their ces, Charlie picked up thest two sses and handed one to Abbas.
Abbas respectfully raised his ss and then turned to join the front of the line with the other Wanlong Hall soldiers.
Standing before the crowd, Charlie lifted his ss and proimed loudly, “The performance of all the soldiers today has truly impressed me, Charlie! I never expected you to execute the mission so wlessly, without any fuss, and not a single soldier was injured during this operation! In my eyes, your performance was absolutely perfect! To celebrate this achievement, I’ve prepared these special celebration wines. Let’s raise a ss and drink together!”
Abbas chimed in loudly, “On behalf of my subordinate, Mr. Wade, I would like to share this toast with him!”
Everyone echoed in unison, “On behalf of my subordinate, Mr. Wade, we express our gratitude and are ready to drink this toast with him!”
Charlie nodded in satisfaction and shouted, “Alright! Cheers!”
In response, everyone enthusiastically replied, “Cheers!”
