In that moment, she red at Charlie Wade with bloodshot eyes, unleashing a roar filled with fury: “Charlie Wade, just know that I will haunt you as a ghost if necessary!”


    Suddenly, a powerful p struck her forehead.


    “Pa…”


    The sharp sound of the p resonated throughout the office. Song Ruyu’s smooth, fair forehead bore a stark purple-red mark, contrasting sharply with her beautiful yet icy demeanor, making the scene quite distracting.


    Charlie Wade observed her pained expression, shaking his head as he joked, “Wow, look at this big spender! She’s really willing to throw her money around.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Song Ruyu grimaced, feeling the sting of the pain and questioning her own survival. She stared at her right palm, disbelief washing over her. The moment she looked closer, she was horrified to see that her palm was already swollen. Her once slender and delicate hand now resembled a tender pig’s hoof, the fingers being the only part that remained slender.


    Confusion settled in as she thought in terror: “How could this be… I put in all my strength, why am I still alive?!”


    In the next instant, she attempted to sense the spiritual energy within her again, only to discover that her Dantian and meridians had been sealed, rendering her powerless!


    She stared at Charlie Wade in horror and eximed, “You… You sealed my cultivation?!”


    “Indeed,” Charlie Wade replied calmly. “From this moment on, you’re useless. Here, any Cavalry Guard could easily take you down.”


    Song Ruyu realized the depth of Charlie Wade’s unfathomable strength and suspected he was the mysterious adversary that Po Qinghui had been desperately seeking. Gritting her teeth, she dered, “Then let them avenge the fallen Cavalry Guard! I fear no death! But know this—you won’t survive long. You won’t even need the Lord; the three elders alone can end your life!”


    Charlie Wade chuckled, “Can those three old dogs take me down first? Let’s put that aside. I said, you can’t die just yet! Otherwise, I would have let you beat yourself to death just now! I still find you useful!”


    Nervously, Song Ruyu studied Charlie Wade and questioned, “What do you want?! If I’m not mistaken, you intend to take away all those death warriors and Cavalry Guards next. You can easily seal my cultivation, which means you can also remove the poison from their bodies. They will undoubtedly be grateful and work for you, but let me be clear: I, Song Ruyu, will never submit to you. If you leave me alive, you’re just leaving a ticking time bomb! Those who aspire to greatness must act decisively. I urge you to kill me now to avoid futureplications!”


    Raising an eyebrow, Charlie Wade smirked, “Tsk tsk… Song Ruyu, that name seems quite old-fashioned, but it doesn’t quite suit a young girl like you.”


    “What do you care?!” Song Ruyu snapped, baring her teeth. “What are you talking about? Just kill me already!”


    Charlie Wade mused to himself, “Honestly, this name doesn’t fit your character at all. Jade is the most cherished gem in Chinese culture, representing beauty, warmth, and happiness. But looking at you, do you have anything to do with jade? You remind me more of a yappy Pomeranian. In the vige, there are big and small dogs, pretty and ugly ones, and while you may not be the biggest or the most beautiful, you certainly are the loudest!”


    “You… you’re talking nonsense!” Song Ruyu eximed, taken aback by Charlie Wade’s humiliation. She angrily retorted, “Mr. Charlie, you’d better kill me now, or I will never make peace with you!”


    “Alright,” Charlie Wade nodded with a smile. “To be honest, I’m not fond of keeping dogs. They can be quite a headache when they rely on others and bark incessantly. But now, I suddenly find the idea of training a fierce dog to be obedient and lovable quite fulfilling!”


    Song Ruyu grit her teeth, asserting defiantly, “I! Am! Not! A! Dog!”


    Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Of course, I know you’re not a dog; I just used that as a metaphor. I’d be willing to apologize to any dog I insult!”


    He then shifted his tone, his expression turning serious as he confronted her: “Song Ruyu, right? You are my prisoner now. You are what I say you are. What right do you have to be choosy?!”<fnc> For original chapters go to FιndＮovel</fnc>
