When Charlie had help, he would also have to take care of the other party, which was far less handy compared to him being alone.
What’s more, Charlie planned to infiltrate the enemy’s base on this trip to Mexico by himself. He was going to pretend to be weak and fragile despite actually being powerful, and with Kathleen around, he was bound to have to practice extreme caution.
Kathleen had initially not known what exactly Charlie planned to do in Mexico. When she heard that Charlie was going to take the place of the potential victim and sneak into the opponent’s death trap, she knew that she would not bring any positive effect aside from holding Charlie back if she followed him.
So, she could only give up resentfully.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the airport, Charlie said to Kathleen, “You have a special status, so don’t get out of the car.”
Kathleen hurriedly said, “Pay attention to your safety then, Mr. Wade!”
Charlie nodded gently, and after saying goodbye to her, he pushed the car door open and got out of the car.
Charlie then took a small suitcase out from the car trunk and walked into the airport without looking back.
This suitcase contained some daily clothes that he had just bought yesterday.
Charlie himself did not know what was awaiting him in Mexico, but he wanted to pretend to be a person who was defenseless against danger and was going out of town. So, he naturally had to bring some personal belongings with him.
After going to the counter to redeem his boarding pass, Charlie went through the security check alone and arrived at the designated boarding gate early.
Since he had bought an economy-class flight ticket this time, he could only find a vacant seat at the boarding gate. He waited for the target to appear as he waited to board the plane.
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged Oskian man in his forties hurried over.
Charlie recognized him at a glance. He was Brienne’s son, Hugo Lidstone.
Like Charlie, Hugo had also brought a twenty-inch suitcase with him, but compared to Charlie, he had another extra big shoulder bag.
Hugo, who was in his forties, looked a little older. His hair had not only turned gray, but his face also looked even more wrinkled compared to his peers.
It could be seen from Hugo’s state that he should be at the lowest point of his life. He looked despondent but also somewhat sad and reluctant at the same time.
