Master Vail was momentarily thrown off balance, uncertain of his next move.

Charlie’s voice cut through the tense silence like a knife.

“What’s the matter? Are you afraid to face a little challenge? You call yourself a master of heaven, yet you cower at such a trivial matter?”

Master Vail scowled, his face darkening with anger.

“How dare you suggest that I, Master Vail, could be afraid?”

But then he changed the subject, sneering arrogantly.

“You almost had the old man fooled, didn’t you? Dr.

Simmons willingly challenged me yesterday and conceded defeat.

Logically, he should hand over this clinic to me.

But now he’s hiding like a coward, refusing to show his face.

You’re just a slick kid trying to stir up trouble.

I’ve already won, so why bother betting with me again? What’s the point?”

Charlie smiled slyly, looking the old man in the eye.

“Hey there, old guy.

One of us wants to keep up, but I’m not talking about you.

I recorded the entire challenge just now with my camera.

Are you really going to back down? Because I won’t hesitate to post these videos online, especially on overseas networks…”

“A clinic is just a drop in the bucket, only worth a few million.

So what if I give it to you? As long as you’re not afraid of embarrassment and losing more than you gain, you can take this clinic.”

Turning to Xyla, he asked, “Did you get it all on camera, Xyla?”

Xyla nodded vigorously.

“Master Wade, I recorded everything!”

As she spoke, Xyla slung her black leather bag off her shoulder and opened it up.

From inside, she pulled out several action cameras and glanced back at the bag.

Upon closer inspection, there were four or five small, circular holes dotting the bag’s surface, likely meant for the camera lenses.

It was just that the cameras and the bag were both black, and Master Vail had been too distracted to notice them before.

Now he realized that he had unwittingly walked into a trap set by this clever kid.

If he agreed to another competition, then all of these women would surely catch him in the act, their ages impossible to determine.

It would be proof that he had cheated yesterday and his reputation would be destroyed.

But if he refused to compete, then the kid would simply upload the video online and ruin him anyway.
