After that, he asked hurriedly, "Maybe he went to the restroom?”
Kathleen could not conceal her flustered self. "But I can’t reach his phone at all... He... There's never a time when I can't reach him at all. He’s always cautious and discreet in his work. He would never disappear without informing me, so... He might be in trouble."
Charlie casually suggested, "What if he accidentally dropped his phone in the restroom?”
Kathleen was slightly stunned at this. She immediately shook her head and refuted, "That can't b e... With his skills, he won’t make such a low-level mistake!"
To Kathleen, a six-star martial artist could react quickly. They were faster and stronger than an ordinary human. There was no way Julian would do something as silly as dropping his phone in the restroom.
Charlie noticed her anxiousness. He approached her and tried to calm her.
He said firmly, "Your driver seemed very reliable.
Judging by his postures, he's probably a trained martial artist. A man like him won't get into trouble. Besides, Aurous Hill is a safe place. A grown man like him will be fine. You shouldn't worry too much!”
Kathleen found no relief from Charlie's comfort. She knew very well at heart that Julian was an impossibly strong six-star martial artist. Realistically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone stronger than Julian in the whole of Oskia. It was practically impossible for anything to happen to him.
A man she thought was invincible had inexplicably disappeared. That alone alarmed her. She felt threatened by an invisible menace. The danger was powerful and terrifyingly close, yet untouchable.
Charlie, on the other hand, had gotten addicted to acting. He even went so far as to run to the kitchen to interview the staff. He knocked on the kitchen door and waited for it to open. As soon as the door swung open, he asked the cooks inside, "Did any of you see the man standing in the yard earlier?”
The cook shook his head and said, "No, Master Wade. I didn't go out at all..."
Charlie then asked, "How about the young man who greeted us at the door when we arrived earlier?”
