Charlie’s words made Carvalho feel extremely stunned as though he had been struck by lightning!
Just now, Charlie had simply used his finger to turn Mason into a lifeless person, and this had already shocked Carvalho completely.
The strength that Charlie had shown just now was already far beyond his abilities.
Now that Charlie was saying that he knew all about Carvalho's background and the fact that he had met u p with Falco last night, all this made Carvalho feel even more nervous! i
He stared at Charlie with an extremely nervous look i n his eyes as he spoke up and asked, "Who are you?"
Charlie sneered. "My name is Charlie Wade." 3
Carvalho blurted out, "I do not know you. So, why did you secretly investigate and tail me, even stealing the compass that has been passed down in my family?"
Charlie questioned him in return, "You're a Feng Shui master who is already over a hundred years old. Since you've already settled down in the United States for so many years, why didn't you just retire properly when you are already so old? Why did you come to Oskia? Also, why are you getting involved with a sinful beast like Falco Xanthos? Aren't you afraid that you will ruin the Mason family's reputation that has been established for nearly a thousand years?!"
Carvalho had an embarrassed look on his face as he stammered, "I... I... I am not involved with Falco Xanthos! I've never once stained my hands with anyone's blood either!"
Charlie asked again, "Then why did you go to Mount Phoenix Cemetery to meet up with him last night? In addition, haven't you seen the security guard that died at the Mount Phoenix Cemetery before? Do you have anything to do with his death?"
Carvalho blurted out, "The reason I went and met him i s because he wanted to discuss something with me. I d o not want to become enemies with this person. So, I naturally had to go and see him. As for the security guard, he was already dead when I arrived. I had nothing to do with his death!"
Charlie looked at Carvalho and asked, "What exactly did he want to discuss with you?"
Carvalho replied coldly, "That is a private matter between me and him. It has nothing to do with you!"
Charlie sneered and said, "Master Mason, reasonably speaking, a person who is already as old as you are should not be so stubborn and obstinate. I do not want to use any tricks on you because you are already old. However, if you insist on taking advantage of your seniority, I will not hold back anymore!"
Carvalho felt a little flustered, but he put on a brave front and said, "You’re really a very unreasonable person! I have no grievances or grudges with you. So, why would anyone that I've met or discussed anything with have anything to do with you at all?"
Charlie said a little impatiently, "You don't need to be s o finicky. I can tell you clearly that if you refuse to tell me everything about Falco Xanthos clearly, and if you refuse to tell me about his specific movements, don't blame me for not showing any respect for my elder!"
Carvalho snorted. "You're not a law enforcement officer. So, I naturally will not tell you anything!”
"You will not tell me?" Charlie snorted coldly as he said in a stern voice, "Since you've already met him yesterday, you should also know that his native parasitic worm feeds on human brains. If we do not catch him as soon as possible, he might kill and take even more innocent lives. If you refuse to tell me the specific details, you're only protecting and abetting his actions! You'll have a unshirkable responsibility toward every subsequent person that Falco Xanthos kills next!" 9
