Today, she has made the choice not to return to Po Qinghui (Benn), nor to continue serving the Lord of Ennd. To her, this individual is exceedingly frightening. Remaining in his presence could result in a fate as dire as Willie’s. Just how strong is he?
Instead of facing such a grim future, she believes it would be wiser to seize the chance to vanish from the world. Once her injuries have healed, she ns to find a secluded ce where she can live quietly for the remainder of her life—two years, to be exact. For her,
enjoying two years of freedom is far more appealing than returning to serve the Lord of Ennd for another two hundred years.
With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth against the excruciating pain and continued to drag herself deeper into the mountains.
Now, let’s rewind three minutes.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
At the Champs Elysees Hot Spring, not far from the hotel where the explosion urred, An’s family has been situated in a half-mountain vi that Don Albert had previously arranged for them.
As they heard a distant thunder, a sense of unease washed over the entire family. An Qishan, the elder, paced restlessly in the room, clearly anxious and unable to stay still.
Noticing the old man’s distress, Don Albert quickly approached to offer some reassurance. “Don’t worry, old man. Master Charlie is incredibly powerful. That thunder you heard must be the sky thunder he summoned. I bet the killer has been reduced to ashes by Master Charlie right now!”
An Qishan murmured skeptically, “You really think Charlie can summon heavenly thunder?!”
“Absolutely!” Don Albert insisted. “Thest time thunder rolled in, the sky was filled with dark clouds, lightning shed, and the thunder crashed down like a god descending upon the earth!”
Everyone in the An family was left speechless, and An Qishan looked visibly shaken. “How could that even be possible…”
Don Albert chuckled lightly, “Oh, old man, there’s nothing impossible about this. The reason you think it’s impossible is due to ack of understanding. Master Charlie exined that summoning the sky thunder is a result of the formation. My personal take on formations is that they’re not too different from atomic energy. Imagine telling a hundred-year-old person that just a small piece of radioactive material can create an atomic bomb capable of destroying a city—they’d think that’s impossible too.”
An Qishan found himself at a loss for words, while the olddy beside him couldn’t hide her concern. “I’m worried about Charlie’s safety, Mr. Albert. Could you arrange for a helicopter to rush over? If Charlie needs help, we should be ready to assist him…”
Don Albert quickly responded, “Olddy, Master Charlie specifically instructed that once you’re picked up, no one should intervene. Just wait here peacefully for his return.”
He added, “To be honest, there are hundreds of warriors at the hot spring hotel down the mountain, all highly skilled. If they can’t assist Master Charlie, we certainly can’t.” The olddy wiped her tears and choked back her words, “I’m just afraid something will happen to Charlie. He’s endured so much over the past twenty years. As his grandmother, I truly don’t want him to be in any danger…”
An Qishan gently patted the olddy’s back, trying tofort her. “You don’t need to worry too much. Charlie is incredibly capable now. He’s no longer in the same league as us. Even if we wanted to help him, we wouldn’t be able to. We should follow his instructions and be patient while we wait!”
Just then, an earth-shattering explosion erupted outside the vi. The force of the st shattered theminated tempered ss! Everyone instinctively crouched down. In the aftermath of the explosion, the olddy suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. Overwhelmed by agony, she cried out, “What just happened?! Is Charlie… is Charlie going to be okay?!”
Don Albert’s heart raced, panic setting in. He had witnessed Charlie summon heavenly thunder with his own eyes.<fnb3c0> The rightful source is find{n}ovel</fnb3c0>
