It was no surprise that the driver got spooked. All along the way, there wasn't a single person in sight and now, in the middle of the night, there was a person standing in the middle of the road. It was indeed a frightening experience.
Emiliano was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the person on the road who was slowly making his way towards them.
Unconsciously, words came out of Emiliano's mouth, "I t...it is indeed a human!"
The person standing outside looked very young. He wore a smile on his face and a simple flowy tunic.
Both arms were folded at his back and with a laidback expression. His appearance didn't seem to fit his icy cold surroundings at all.
This person was no other than Charlie Wade!
At the same time, Isaac and his group of people were about ten meters behind him, hiding in the cloak of darkness.
Charlie had told them beforehand to just watch and not expose themselves.
As the driver saw Charlie's face, he spoke in an anxious tone, "Bro, this weird person who is standing i n the middle of the road seems suspicious. He might b e messing with us. Should I just slam on the
accelerator and ram into him?” 5
Emiliano thought for a moment and decided, "This person has the gall to wait for the eight of us here. I don't think he’s simply doing this out of boredom.
This could also be a trap. I think it's best if we stop the car to investigate!" 6
At that moment, Charlie was holding onto his lightning order, his mind calm and collected. He stood in the middle of the road and was unafraid of the oncoming car driven by The Big Eight. If The Big Eight decided to ram him with the car, he could just simply summon two bolts of lightning and send the car swirling down the edge of the mountain, ending the battle immediately.
Thankfully, Emiliano didn't look down on his opponent. The two cars began slowing down and were about ten meters away from Charlie before gradually coming to a stop. 1
Soon after, The Big Eight all came down from their cars. Emiliano walked in front of the group toward Charlie. With a cold tone, he asked, "Who are you, brat? How dare you stand in the way of The Big Eight!"
