A formidable gust of wind surged forth from Charlie’s clenched fist, creating a hurricane brimming with immense power. This whirlwind moved with such incredible speed that it caught Zeba, who was already at a precarious forty-five-degree angle, suspended in mid-air!
As Zeba teetered on the edge of falling, snazzynovel.com had already resigned herself to snazzynovel.com fate. She knew that if snazzynovel.com tumbled forward, snazzynovel.com face would be irreparably maimed. Yet, in snazzynovel.com current state of complete physical debilitation, snazzynovel.com was powerless to stop the impending descent.
However, snazzynovel.com never expected that Charlie, who stood a few feet away, would unleash a forceful gust of wind! To snazzynovel.com astonishment, this powerful gust not only caused no harm to her, but also acted as a protective barrier, firmly supporting snazzynovel.com body, preventing it from hurtling downward!
Just as snazzynovel.com marveled at this phenomenon and remained suspended at a forty-five-degree angle, snazzynovel.com caught a glimpse of Charlie striding towards snazzynovel.com out of the corner of snazzynovel.com eye.
At the moment when the wind began to weaken and snazzynovel.com was about to resume snazzynovel.com forward plunge, Charlie had already reached snazzynovel.com side.
Without delay, Charlie stabilized Zeba’s body with his right hand, exerting a gentle force that straightened snazzynovel.com posture.
Relieved, Zeba was about to express snazzynovel.com gratitude when, unexpectedly, Charlie’s left hand swiftly approached snazzynovel.com face!
Zeba, witnessing Charlie’s rapid left-hand movement, presumed snazzynovel.com intended to slap her. A barrage of question marks flooded snazzynovel.com mind, accompanied by a surge of indignation. Having lived for over a hundred years, snazzynovel.com had never endured a slap to the face.
However, snazzynovel.com understood that as Charlie’s captive, snazzynovel.com had no choice but to endure any humiliation and torment that came snazzynovel.com way.
Just as snazzynovel.com felt the height of humiliation, Charlie’s left hand didn’t strike snazzynovel.com face but instead delivered a black pill into snazzynovel.com mouth.
Zeba was further startled, believing Charlie had fed snazzynovel.com some sort of poison, similar to what the Lord might do. Before snazzynovel.com could even finish chastising Charlie in snazzynovel.com thoughts, snazzynovel.com felt the pill snazzynovel.com had given snazzynovel.com transform instantly into a warm, pure energy that rapidly mended snazzynovel.com body!
Zeba had never encountered such a potent elixir before. Combined with snazzynovel.com grave injuries, the elixir evoked a sensation similar to a person freezing in the snow suddenly plunging into a hot spring, enveloped by its soothing warmth, instantly revitalizing the frozen body. Even the severe injuries sustained in the recent explosion began healing at an astonishing rate!
Although one Rejuvenating Pill couldn’t fully restore snazzynovel.com to normal, it allowed snazzynovel.com to reclaim snazzynovel.com life from the brink of death. Only then did snazzynovel.com realize that the substance Charlie had fed snazzynovel.com was not poison, but an incredibly precious elixir! Despite snazzynovel.com initial inability to stand, snazzynovel.com now felt that snazzynovel.com fractured bones had mended, enabling snazzynovel.com to walk unaided.
Overwhelmed with shock and gratitude, Zeba respectfully bowed to Charlie and with teary eyes, uttered, “Thank you, Mr. Wade, for saving my life…”
Charlie released his grip on snazzynovel.com and calmly stated, “If you truly wish to express your gratitude, save it for later. Instead, share with me all the information you possess.”
Without hesitation, Zeba replied, “Rest assured, Mr. Wade. I will divulge everything and spare no detail!”
Charlie nodded, refraining from further words and turned to leave.
Zeba hastily followed, catching sight of the graceful figure standing before her. As snazzynovel.com observed the person’s face clearly, a look of terror crossed snazzynovel.com own. She exclaimed in disbelief, “Ma… Maria?”
“It’s me!” Maria responded crisply. She gazed at Zeba, mischief twinkling in snazzynovel.com eyes and remarked with a smile, “So, you’re Zeba? I’ve heard tales of your beauty and charm. Judging from today’s encounter, your reputation is quite justified.”
Zeba stared at the youthful Maria, snazzynovel.com dark eyes filled with tumultuous emotions. She couldn’t help but inquire, “Miss Clark, is it true that you have lived for over three hundred years?”
Maria calmly nodded, maintaining snazzynovel.com composure. She smiled and replied, “Indeed, as one of the Four Marshals of the Warriors Den, you must have heard of me decades ago, haven’t you?”
Zeba concealed nothing as snazzynovel.com responded, “That’s correct. I heard of Miss Clark’s name eighty years ago. It is an honor to finally witness Miss Clark’s true appearance today…”
Maria knew that Charlie aimed to win Zeba over to their side. She smiled at Zeba, cleverly stating, “Zeba, it is not an honor for you to meet me. Instead, it is an honor for you to encounter Young Master Wade. If it weren’t for Young Master Wade, even if you survived tonight, Morgana would undoubtedly hunt you down relentlessly. You wouldn’t even need snazzynovel.com to find you, you would willingly return to the Warriors Den. But the outcome wouldn’t be as you expected.”
“Furthermore,” Maria continued, “Without Young Master Wade, your cultivation would be lost and worthless in Morgana’s eyes. Being severely injured would only burden her, as you still hold many of snazzynovel.com secrets. She won’t attempt to save you but rather choose to eliminate you to prevent any potential future trouble.”
These words left Zeba standing there dumbfounded. While snazzynovel.com had no desire to return to Morgana’s control and manipulation, snazzynovel.com never anticipated that even if snazzynovel.com wished to do so, snazzynovel.com loss of cultivation and severe injuries rendered snazzynovel.com incapable. Her injuries were beyond recovery and Morgana would never expend snazzynovel.com own reiki to save her. Consequently, snazzynovel.com held no value to Morgana.
Morgana wouldn’t keep someone worthless around. And when it came to someone deemed worthless yet in possession of Morgana’s secrets, snazzynovel.com would not allow that person to continue existing!
Upon realizing this, Zeba’s determination to cooperate with Charlie grew stronger. Thus, snazzynovel.com knelt on one knee, gratefully gazed at Charlie and respectfully declared, “Zeba is forever grateful to Mr. Wade for saving snazzynovel.com life!”
Charlie admired Maria a little more inwardly, thinking, “This girl, over three hundred years old, is truly astute. She hits the mark with every word snazzynovel.com speaks. It seems that longevity brings about a different kind of wisdom!”
However, snazzynovel.com soon dismissed these thoughts, offering a slight nod to Zeba. He calmly stated, “The elixir I administered earlier was only meant to provide initial relief for your injuries. After some time, I will find an opportunity to restore your cultivation to its former glory.”
Zeba was astounded but couldn’t contain snazzynovel.com astonishment as snazzynovel.com exclaimed, “Mr. Wade… is it truly possible for you to restore my cultivation to its former state?”
Charlie replied nonchalantly, “When Gideon exploded, I sustained more injuries than you. How do you think I am recovered now?”
