Nanako hurriedly put her hands on the floor, bowed her head, and said, "Mr. Wade, I apologize to you and the Oskian people on behalf of all the Japanese who have hurt the Oskian people. I'm sorry! I will do my best to pay off Japan's debt for the rest of my life!" Charlie waved his hand. "Never mind. This debt may never be settled, but I'm grateful for your effort." 5 Then, he reached out to help Nanako up to her feet and said, "You still have two upcoming matches, hurry back and prepare well. I, as Aurora's coach, am looking forward to seeing the two of you meet in the finals. So, in the next semifinals match, you must perform well. Succeed to the finals to meet Aurora there." 9 Nanako said unwaveringly, "Please rest assured, Mr. Wade. I will do my best and meet Aurora in the finals!" "Good." Charlie nodded. "See you in the final, then." With that, Charlie got back into his BMW and drove it into his Thompson First villa.

She stood still in the splace for about ten minutes. 4 At this very moment, deep inside her heart, an intense admiration for Charlie suddenly emerged. 5 A man like Charlie was the true martial arts master.

At this exact moment, her admiration and worship for Charlie multiplied by several folds like a nuclear bomb that had exploded inside her. It had an extremely powerful effect on her mind and soul, so much so that her mind was filled with Charlie's image, and she couldn't shake it off. 9 Charlie's resounding and stern reprimand echoed in her ears. It was like true enlightenment to her. 5 Jiro had waited for a long toutside the Thompson First gate when he finally saw the disheveled Nanako slowly approaching him.
He hurriedly got out of the car and asked, "Nanako-san, did you see Charlie?" Nanako nodded and said in a somewhat absentminded tone, "Yes, I did..."
Jiro asked again, "How was it? Did he agree to go out of his way to save Yamamoto san?"
Nanako shook her head and muttered softly, almost as if she was talking to herself, "No. I was wrong. I ΟΠ overthought this matter. I shouldn't have given up the soul of a martial artist to beg him to save Coach... My coach, he is a qualified martial artist, and a qualified martial artist must have the courage to face his own destiny..." 7
"And I... Since I want to be a qualified martial artist, I also need to have the ve courage to face the fate of others X
