The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5467

Charlie was taken aback and couldn't help but tease, "Isn't this a little late for a rebellious phase?"

Maria chuckled and said, "Perhaps, but you see, even extreme sports enthusiasts climb skyscrapers with their bare hands. They know the risk of falling and getting seriously hurt or even killed, but they still do it. It's the thrill of adventure and the sense of achievement after conquering something so daunting. When most people look at skyscrapers, they admire them from below. But for me, seeing a skyscraper triggers the desire to conquer it with my own hands, without relying on anything else. The sense of accomplishment from doing that can keep them happy for a long time."

Charlie pondered for a moment and then said, "I advise you to be cautious and sensible. If this decision goes wrong, there might not be a chance to correct it."

Maria lowered her head briefly before lifting it again with determination. "I know myself. I don't have the power to kill Morgana in this life. If I manage not to get killed by her, that's already a great success. But even if I can't kill her, I have the opportunity today to defy her with my actions. Didn't she dream of catching me? Well, she'll never imagine that I'll be right under her nose at this very moment. If I succeed, then I win one in the cat-and-mouse game we've been playing all these years. And when she's gone, she won't be able to claim victory over me. I'll win to the very end! One day in the future, I'll make sure she knows that I, Maria, wasn't just running and fleeing from her all my life. I dared to stand up to her and laugh in her face, no matter how powerful she was. I, Maria, would still triumph over her!"

Charlie saw the excitement and eagerness in Maria's eyes and began to understand her true feelings. She had been evading Morgana for over 300 years, running and hiding like no one else in the world. In this life, she might not have the strength to seek revenge, but she could make a statement with her incredible courage, slapping Morgana in the face right under her nose.
