Charlie's casual and light-hearted words scared Aivan to the point where he turned pale in fright. He could not help but blurt out, "How is that possible?! My father has a superb metaphysics level, and he has never met anyone who could be his rival in the industry for so many years! What's more, I've never heard of anyone who could summon a heavenly thunderbolt. This is simply nonsense! Do you think this is a Hollywood movie? Do you think you would be able to use a hammer to summon a heavenly thunderbolt down to earth?!"
Charlie smiled and said, "That’s the truth. There is nothing I can do if you don't believe me."
Having said that, Charlie then said again," Oh, by the way, I really have quite some fate with Mystery Court. I not only met your father, Jack, but I also met your master, Falco Xanthos!”
"What?!" Aivan asked with a horrified expression, "You’ve met Master Xanthos?!”
"That's right." Charlie smiled and said, "He also came to Aurous Hill some time ago. As far as I know, he seems to have died in Aurous Hill as well."
"Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!" Aivan said coldly, "Master Xanthos has spectacular strength and extraordinary black magic skills. Even my father and I were afraid of his great skills and strength. There is no way anyone in this world could possibly kill him! Don’t lie here to confuse the public and slander my father and master's prestige!"
Charlie shrugged. “You're truly a boring person. I thought that you were too pitiful because I saw that you do not seem to know of your father’s whereabouts. So, I was kind enough to tell you the truth, but you do not believe me, and you’re even saying that I'm falsely slandering your father. Don't you think that you're treating my goodwill as ill intent?”
Aivan said sternly, "Kid, don’t try to be so slick in front of me. I know what you mean. You’re simply trying to show off in front of Miss Fox, but you're mistaken because you shouldn't have spoken badly of my father and master in front of me!"
Charlie smiled helplessly and said, "You're really ignorant. I was being kind, and I pitied you because I saw that you’re an orphan. However, you're still baring your teeth at me. In that case, you can pretend that I did not say anything. You can just wait for a few more years with peace of mind and see if your father will come out of seclusion to be reunited with you, then."
Having said that, Charlie then said to Kathleen who was next to him, "Miss Fox, why don't we go and wait inside the villa first?"
