"Charlie Wade?!" The mention of Charlie's nsent a chill down Tiro's spine. He hurriedly said, "Nanako-san, you must stay away from Charlie Wade! This person is extremely dangerous, it is best not to have too much contact with him..." s Then, he added, "Besides, you must never listen to Yamamoto-san's advice and worship Charlie Wade as your master. As far as I'm concerned, this Charlie guy is very unfriendly to the Japanese, otherwise, he wouldn't have brutally crippled Yamamoto-san simply because of what Yamamoto-san said!" 5 Nanako nodded. "I didn't think that he would takeas his disciple, but I hoped that he would be able to do something to heal Yamamoto-san or help put in a good word to get Dr. Simmons to heal him." 4 Jiro hurriedly asked, "So, are you going to visit Charlie sother time?" "No, not another day. I will go to him today." "Today?! But it's already evening! Are you really going to meet Charlie right now?" "Yes! Now!" With a face full of determination, Nanako said, "I've asked someone to search for his address. He seems to live in the best villa township in Aurous Hill, Thompson First. I would like to ask Kobayashi-san a favor to drivethere now." 5 "What? You're going to his house to meet him? No way! This is absolutely not okay!" Jiro waved his hands frantically.
He was well aware of Charlie's characteristics-he knew that Charlie was an obstinate and strong-willed man. If Nanako went to him, not only would she not be able to gain any benefit, but she would most likely anger Charlie and even be harmed by him.
Thus, he immediately said, "Nanako-san, you have no idea who this Charlie really is. If you go to him like this, you will burn your fingers!" 7 Nanako uttered, "I'm not trying to fight with him. I know that I'm as weak as an ant before him. I just want to sincerely ask for his favor. I want to heal my mentor even if it costsa lot." Jiro opened his mouth to try to say something, but Nanako interjected him directly and asked in an earnest tone, "Kobayashi-san, can or can you not driveto Thompson First? If you can, let's go now. If you can't, I'll take a taxi from here." Jiro sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, if you insist, Nanako-san, I'll take you there..." On his way home, Charlie received a call from Anthony.
Anthony told him that a woman had cover to his clinic to ask for his help in treating an injured man who's all the meridians in his body had been severed and asked if it was Charlie's doing. 5
Charlie admitted without hesitation and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the woman who went to your clinic m should be Ito Wanako, a Japanese girl. The man I crippled is called Yamamoto Kazuki. He dared to callthe 'Sick Man of Asia', so I couldn't forgive him." 7
"Oh, they are Japanese!" Anthony growled furiously," The one who tried to steal your magical elixir fromlast twas also Japanese! They E are nothing but trouble!" 5 Anthony quickly said, "Master Wade, don't worry. I'll never let that woman walk into my clinic again!" 4
Charlie smiled faintly and said, "Although her mentor i s arrogant and rude, the girl is very polite and Qm soft-spoken. You can just kindly refuse if she goes to ask for your help again. There's no need to make things difficult for her. We Oskians are always very reasonable. These are two different cases, we mustn't mix them up." X
