When Sheldon heard Charlie’s questioning, Sheldon could not help but smile wryly and say, "I'm well aware of your ability, Mr. Wade..."
After saying that, he looked at Zayne, who was beside him, and he said, “Isn’t this one of the Four War Kings from Ten Thousand Armies? It is said that his strength is only second to Porter, but he could not even fight against you at all, Mr. Wade. So, I'm afraid that Porter will also be completely helpless in front of you..."
Charlie smiled faintly and looked at Zayne, who was aside, as he asked him again, "Zayne Carter, how strong is your lord?"
Zayne said respectfully, "My lord is an eight-star martial artist, and his strength is much higher as compared to me." 2
Charlie nodded and asked again, "Then, who do you think is stronger between the both of us?"
Zayne said without thinking, "You are definitely stronger... Although I am not as strong as the lord, at the very least, I can compete with my lord head-on for dozens of rounds, but I have no power to fight in front of you at all..."
All this time, Zayne’s consciousness had been sealed b y Charlie and so, what he said or did most of the time
was not sincerely coming from him.
But this time, his own consciousness and his body were surprisingly completely in sync.
Although he did not know exactly what divine ability Charlie had used to seal off his consciousness completely, Zayne knew that Charlie's method was definitely a realm higher as compared to that of martial arts.
The gap was as insurmountable as the gap between a cold weapon and a hot weapon. 3
When Charlie heard what Zayne had said, he nodded and smiled as he said, "It must not have been easy for him to become an eight-star martial artist. Porter Waldron must have suffered and endured a lot of hardships over the past twenty years in order to achieve this cultivation level, right?” 2
Zayne nodded and said, "My lord is a rare martial arts genius to begin with, but with the founder’s guidance, the lord's starting point was much higher as compared to most martial artists. Moreover, my lord is determined to avenge his parents, and in order to achieve this goal, he had been practicing hard during the winter and summer, and he would always be training eighteen hours a day for twenty years to gain the strength that he possesses today.”
Charlie laughed indifferently and said, "He endured twenty years of suffering and hardships, only to carry his parents' coffins to die. Thinking about it, he really has quite a tragic fate."
After saying that, Charlie looked at Sheldon and smiled as he said, "Mr. Schulz, you can rest well tonight. You have to wake up early to go and meet this nephew of yours tomorrow. So, I will not bother you anymore." 2
