Read Hero of Hearts Chapter 7473

Although Maria Lin didn’t try to persuade Charlie anymore, she was still a bit worried about his safety.

Unlike before, when she might have considered the risks and opportunities of the matter objectively, Charlie had now become the only person she cared about, and she had even fallen in love with him. Right now, she didn’t want Charlie to take any risks.

For Charlie’s safety, whether he would take revenge or not was not important; he just hoped that Charlie would be safe and sound.

However, since Charlie had already made up his mind, she felt that as a woman, she could not stop a man’s decision under any circumstances, so she could only keep her worries to herself.

Charlie noticed Lin’s concern and smiled, “Miss Lin, there’s no need to worry too much. In fact, given the current situation, even if I meet that elder, I probably won’t be in a favorable position.”

Maria Lin asked in surprise, “Why do you say that, young master?”

Charlie laughed and said, “Think about it, previously he used psychological suggestions to control nearly a hundred members of the Japanese scientific expedition, which consumed a lot of spiritual energy.”

“Furthermore, he’s now wandering alone in Antarctica, and he needs to consume spiritual energy to sustain himself. He’s also been chased like a dog by the US military, which consumes even more spiritual energy.”

“So I guess his current spiritual energy reserves are definitely insufficient. If things really come to a head, even if I can’t defeat him, I should be able to escape from him.”

Maria Lin thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and agreed, saying, “What you said makes sense, young master. He has been in Antarctica for so long and has consumed his spiritual energy, but you have replenished his spiritual energy to the maximum by using the Great Sun Tathagata Hand Seal. This is indeed a great benefit.”

Charlie laughed and said, “And don’t forget, I still have pills. If we really have to fight, as long as he can’t kill me in one hit, I can fight him in a war of attrition. Maybe I can even kill him in the end.”

Maria Lin immediately advised him, “Young master, you must not be too optimistic. The three elders of the Shattered Qing Society are second only to Victoria in terms of cultivation, and their combat power should not be underestimated.”

“Although I have not yet attained enlightenment, my father once said that on the path of cultivation, every advancement in realm results in a manifold increase in power.”

“As the saying goes, even a hungry camel is greater than a horse. Young master, please, please don’t be greedy in battle.”

“Okay!” Charlie knew that once there was a difference in cultivation level, it would be like heaven and earth. He said this only to appease Maria Lin.

However, there was one thing Charlie didn’t say.

This means that if you actually encounter the other party, it will be a fight to the death. Even if you’re willing to surrender, the other party won’t let it go. They’ll wreak havoc in Antarctica and find you to kill you.

So what will happen to Maria Lin? What will happen to Jeremiah Yun and Song Ruyu?

After all, even if he couldn’t find me and Maria Lin, he would still tell Victoria the news, and that’s when my identity would most likely be exposed.

Therefore, Charlie was ready to fight to the death if he met the other party on the narrow road.
