Charlie spoke up at this time, "Master Lennard, you have also heard it for yourself. This person is extremely timid, and he has no sense of responsibility at all. I naturally cannot let him go just like that. I'll spare his life if he helps me catch Falco Xanthos, but i f he continues being so slow-witted and stubborn and i s going to allow Falco Xanthos to continue terrorizing and harming people, I'll have to kill him!" 3
Carvalho became anxious, and he blurted out, "You're such a young man, but you're so cruel! I've already been friends with Chandler for so many years! So, don't you have any feelings at all?!"
As soon as Chandler heard this, he immediately said," Carvalho, don't try to sow discord here. I'm not asking Young Master Wade to give you a way out for my sake!”
Carvalho had originally planned to make use of Chandler so that he could ask for Charlie’s leniency. However, he would not have expected Chandler to draw such a clear line with him. So, he felt very indignant as he said, "Chandler! Aren't you just taking this opportunity to hit a person who is already down? Don’t you think that you have no sense of righteousness at all?!"
Chandler’s tone became somewhat cold as he said, "
It’s not that I’m not righteous, but I owe Young Master Wade a huge favor that I might not even be able to ever repay him for in my lifetime. So, how could I possibly have the audacity to ask Young Master Wade to do anything for my sake?"
Carvalho was shocked.
He never would have expected Chandler's words to carry so much weight.
'How can a senior like Chandler, who is over a hundred years old, actually owe this young man in front of him such a huge favor that he could never repay? This is simply too ridiculous, right?'
As Carvalho thought about this, he suddenly thought o f the good opportunity that Chandler had encountered before this, and he could not help but ask, "Chandler, could it be that your good opportunity is actually related to this person?!’’ 3
Chandler fell silent at once.
There were some things that he could not say.
This was because Chandler was not willing to go against Charlie's wishes and reveal Charlie's identity t o the public.
He had originally thought of coming to Oskia to seek that good opportunity, but Oskia was huge, and it would be extremely difficult for Carvalho to be able to find it on his own.
Still, this matter had always been lingering in his mind, and it had already become the most important wish that he wanted to realize in his heart.
The reason why he had come to Aurous Hill this time was also because he had found out that there was an element of the good opportunity that he was seeking mixed in his divination. So, that was the reason why h e had decided to specially make this trip and come all the way here from the United States. 4
However, he never would have expected that the good opportunity that he had been constantly dreaming of would actually be this young man in front of him!
Carvalho instantly felt very remorseful, and he could not help but think to himself, ‘If I had known that this would be the case, even if I were to get beaten to death, I would not have offended this true god!' 2
As he thought about this, Carvalho's legs went soft immediately as he knelt to the ground with a thump. His face was covered in tears as he said, "Young Master Wade, I'm truly sorry. I’m old and muddled. Please do not hold this against me!" 3
