Although Maria had stopped trying to persuade Charlie, her concern for his safety lingered. Unlike before, when she could analyze risks and opportunities from an objective standpoint, her feelings had changed, Charlie had become the singular person she cared about, and she found herself in love with him.
At this moment, her only wish was for Charlie to remain safe, and the question of revenge felt trivial in comparison. She didn’t want Charlie to take any risks at all. However, since he was resolute in his decision, she felt powerless as a woman to deter him and chose to keep her anxieties to herself.
Charlie noticed her unease and flashed a reassuring smile. “Miss Clark, you shouldn’t worry too much. Given the current situation, even if I come face to face with that elder, I might not be at a disadvantage.”
Maria looked at him, surprised. “Why do you say that, Young Master?”
Charlie responded, “Consider this... He previously used psychological suggestion to control nearly a hundred members of a Japanese scientific expedition, which must have drained his reiki. Now, wandering alone in Antarctica, he has to constantly expend reiki just to maintain himself. After being chased by the U.S. military, his reiki consumption must have been significant. I suspect his reserves are low, so even if I can’t overpower him, I should be able to outrun him.”
