The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Charlie's words made Nanako realize that she had never been a qualified martial artist.

She had won a world championship, and she had been crowned as one of the top young martial artists in the world, yet, she didn't understand the basic principle of martial arts and the soul within it. 4

Seeing her crying profusely and her body trembling, Charlie couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'm sorry, I was too harsh with my words just now, but I was hoping that you would understand what the true soul of martial arts is!" 6

Nanako raised her head, her big red eyes staring at Charlie. Then, she bent her legs and knelt on the floor as she said in a sobbing voice, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Wade. I'm ready to listen to your guidance! Instead of offering his hand to help her up, Charlie said with a serious expression, "The soul of the martial art is not the physical strength, but the strength of the heart!" 5

"If you are strong from within, you will still live up to the spirit of martial arts even if you are disabled. Your mentor is the best example. Although he is defiant and arrogant, he can at least bear the consequences of failure. From this point of view, he is much stronger than you!" s

Nanako responded, her eyes as gloomy as the night, "My mentor even tried to kill himself by biting off his tongue today. I believe that if he could move his hands, he would have chosen to commit hara-kiri..." Charlie nodded. "This proves that he is weak physically, but he is very strong on the inside. In terms of the soul of martial arts, he has lived up to his reputation as a martial artist, but you..." Charlie paused to size her up before saying seriously," As of now, you are not suitable for practicing martial arts. Let me give you a piece of advice. After this competition, go back to Japan and study hard. After graduating from university, you can consider taking a postgraduate exam to further your studies or get married and start your family as soon as possible, living an ordinary life." 6

With red eyes, Nanako blurted earnestly, "But... but I truly don't want to give up martial arts!"
