Dr. Simmons heard his granddaughter’s panicked voice and ignored Charlie’s command to stay behind.

He rushed out to see what was happening and was stunned to find Charlie and Master Vail frozen in a moment of confrontation.

Master Vail’s face contorted with rage as he aimed a powerful punch at Charlie’s face. However, Charlie remained unfazed, calmly extending his right hand and blocking Master Vail’s fist with a single finger.

The grandfather and granddaughter duo were stunned at Charlie’s display of power, unable to believe what they were witnessing.

Master Vail’s expression went from murderous and ferocious to bewildered, panicked, and horrified.

He couldn’t believe how easily Charlie blocked his punch with just one finger; a middle finger.

The gesture of raising the middle finger is a universal body language that means “f*ck you!” or “you are an idiot!”, and Master Vail was humiliated that he fell for it.

Despite his ever-changing expressions, the only thing he couldn’t regain was his previous arrogance.

As Charlie’s smile became more playful, Master Vail’s heart grew more fearful.

Master Vail swallowed nervously, his throat dry with tension.

He muttered under his breath, “How is this possible… How is this possible… I am an eight-star warrior…”

Suddenly, he raised his head and stared at Charlie with a look of fear.

“You… Who are you?” he asked.

Charlie smiled slyly.

“In the past, when people asked me that question, I would usually tell them, ‘I’m someone you can’t afford to know.'”

Master Vail’s voice trembled as he asked, “And what about now?”

Charlie sneered at Master Vail, his voice dripping with disdain.

“You still can’t afford me now, even if you ask nicely.”

As Master Vail realized that he had been outsmarted by Charlie once again, he was no longer angry, only afraid.

He had come to the frightening realization that Charlie’s strength far surpassed his own, to the point where they were not even in the same league.

As the saying goes, ‘a gnat may shake a tree’, and Master Vail understood this all too well at that moment.

Master Vail recoiled in fear like a child who has been caught red-handed, begging for mercy.

“I don’t know…” he stammered, “I offended Master Wade… I hope you will be merciful…”
