Chapter 7319

Jeremiah recalled her first encounter with Charlie.

He had given her both immense despair and immense hope.

Chang Shengbo’s self-destruction had led her to believe Charlie was surely dead,

But unexpectedly, he had changed his clothes and arrived in a helicopter to find her.

At that moment, Jeremiah thought Charlie had come to eliminate her completely.

However, Charlie not only didn’t harm her in the slightest,

But even treated her with great care.

Faced with such a young, handsome,

And dashing man, whose cultivation far surpassed that of his peers,

It was impossible not to be moved.

As for Ria, Charlie had already captivated this seemingly aloof girl during the massive operation,

That caused the disappearance of thousands.

This also contained a deep underlying logic:

The strong naturally admire the strong more than the weak.

An ordinary person’s admiration for a highly skilled cultivator

Can never compare to that for a cultivator of lower cultivation.

Ria, from a young age, considered herself a chosen one destined to help her family defy fate.

However, after meeting Charlie, she realized what a frog in a well truly meant.

When Charlie first threatened her,

She thought he was a brute, strong but ultimately reckless man who dared to provoke the Warriors Den,

And even attempt to wipe out their entire territory.

But when she witnessed Charlie leading tens of thousands of men and completely outmaneuvering the Warriors Den,

The contrast and shock were indescribable.

Both Jeremiah and Ria were quite confident in front of most women.

In terms of beauty and figure, they were top-tier,

And with their cultivation, they were unparalleled.

Yet, in front of the defenseless Maria,

They always felt a hidden inferiority and helplessness.

So, when they realized that Charlie and Maria had gotten together,

Although they felt envious and disappointed,

They weren’t resentful at all.

They both felt ashamed in front of Maria.

Lost in their thoughts, the two even forgot about the spirit stones in Charlie’s hand.

Seeing them dazed and silent, not reaching out,

Charlie spoke up,

“What’s wrong with you two?”

“Don’t you want the spirit stones?”

The two snapped out of their reverie and,

Seeing the spirit stones in Charlie’s hand,

Were first utterly astonished,

Then looked at each other in panic.

Jeremiah and Ria were both people of good character.

People of good character have their own moral compass.

They don’t want to take advantage of others or owe them too many favors.

Charlie had always taken great care of the two girls,

Not only sharing the hand seals that could generate spiritual energy with them,

But also giving them pills and spirit stones.

Last time, he gave each of them two pills,

Which they treasured, each still keeping one intact.

Not long after, Charlie gave them two more spirit stones,

Which already made them feel quite overwhelmed.

The two girls looked at each other, and it was the slightly older Jeremiah who spoke first,

Gratefully and nervously saying to Charlie,

“Mr. Wade, even Victoria probably didn’t have the chance to touch such high-quality spirit stones.”

“You already gave us two last time.”

“And Ria and I are very grateful.”

“Now… now we are really embarrassed to accept your spirit stones again…”

Charlie smiled and said to the two girls,

“Don’t see spirit stones as a gift,”

“But as an investment. I’m investing in you,”

“Hoping that your cultivation will improve more and more in the future.”

“I also hope that if one day I, Charlie, need your help,”

“You will lend a helping hand.”

“If I don’t have anyone by my side who can deal with the Warriors Den on my behalf,”

“Or even fight them to the death,”

“Then this matter is destined to fail.”
