When Rosalie saw Charlie holding the pair of tweezers as he carefully helped her clean her wound, she suddenly began to feel a little fonder of this strange man who had made her feel extremely furious and angry before. 5
So, she looked at Charlie before she asked in a curious voice, "Hey... I don't even know what your name is yet!"
Charlie smiled slightly and said, "Is my name that important to you?”
Rosalie pretended to be annoyed as she said, "I have not settled the score with you yet for cheating me the last time! So, of course it is very important to me!"
Charlie nodded before he said, "Well... the reason why I cheated you was simply because you were indeed a little too much when you killed and exterminated the entire Matsumoto family the last time. You are also an Oskian, so you should understand the culture of our ancestors. In Oskian culture, the concept of family is very highly valued. Don't you know that it is an unforgivable crime for you to implicate and get a person's entire family involved just because of one guilty person?"
Rosalie felt a little ashamed, and she had a guilty conscience as she said, "Although I was the one who carried out that act, I was only acting according to the orders that I had been given. The head of the family
clearly instructed us to make sure that the Matsumoto family paid the most painful price for their actions. Hence, I simply acted according to his instructions and led my men with me to annihilate the entire Matsumoto family.” 3
Charlie asked her, "Is the head of the family you are talking about Sheldon or Cadfan?"
Rosalie replied softly, "It was Sheldon...”
Charlie sneered as he said with a little disdain and self -depreciation, "This old b*stard, Sheldon is very lucky indeed. I accidentally saved his son and daughter, Jaime and Sophie, who are both the heirs of the Schulz family out of pure coincidence. Who would have thought I would save his illegitimate daughter today as well! I am also feeling very frustrated now!"
Rosalie exclaimed, "What did you say? You were the one who saved Jaime and Sophie?!”
Charlie nodded as he replied in dissatisfaction, "That’s right. I was the one who saved that pair of siblings. However, I did not know that they were Sheldon's children at that time. If I knew about their identity, I certainly would not have saved them at all!”
Rosalie could not help but ask, "Do you have any deep hatred or grudges against him?"
