While Charlie was treating Quinn, Nanako had just watched her mentor, Kazuki, fall asleep with her own eyes. She turned wearily to Hiroshi and said, “Tanaka-san, please stay here and take care of my master for me. I must get some rest. Otherwise, it’s unlikely that I will make it to the semifinals, let alone defeat Aurora.”For Nanako, although Kazuki strongly advised her to go and worship Charlie as her master, she was not prepared to do so. In her opinion, her mentor was injured to this extent by Charlie with a single palm strike. No matter who was right or wrong in this matter, she couldn’t abandon her mentor at this moment and go to worship Charlie as her master.Moreover, deep down inside, she felt that Charlie would most likely not take her as his disciple, mainly because Charlie was wealthy, and he strongly despised the Japanese. She didn’t know what kind of leverage she had to impress him.Therefore, she had decided to fight this match to the best of her ability, and then,
In a luxurious Mercedes-Benz sedan, Jiro was behind the wheels with the quiet Nanako by his side as they left the hospital.As soon as he drove the car out of the hospital gates, Nanako couldn’t help but ask, “Kobayashi-san, who exactly is this miracle doctor you mentioned? Could you please tell me now?”Jiro nodded. “Nanako-san, the doctor’s name is Anthony Simmons. He is a renowned doctor in traditional Chinese medicine throughout Oskia. He was the one who cured the paraplegic patient some time ago, the kind of disability that was judged to be impossible to cure in medical history.”Nanako had always been very healthy and fit, so she had never paid attention to what was going on in the medical world, and certainly, she knew nothing about Anthony.However, she was intrigued as soon as Jiro mentioned him, and her heart suddenly swelled with great anticipation.Hence, she hurriedly pursued, “Kobayashi-san, may I ask where I can meet this miracle doctor?”Jiro lamented with a sigh,
With a puzzled look on her face, Nanako asked, “Kobayashi-san, do you have any problem with this Dr. Simmons?”“Oh, no, no.” Jiro hurriedly waved his hand and said seriously, “I’ve never met Dr. Simmons before. By the way, frankly speaking, before my brother passed away, he once offended the doctor, so I’m afraid he holds a grudge against our family. In order not to affect his decision when you ask him to treat Yamamoto-san, it’ll be better if you don’t say my name. You can call me Tanaka-san.”“Alright, then.” Nanako nodded. She took the lead, stepped through the door, knocked, and asked, “Excuse me, is Dr. Simmons in?”The staff was surprised to see such a gorgeous and elegant woman standing at the door. He said politely, “Hello, I’m sorry but the clinic is closed now, and Dr. Simmons will not attend to any more patients for today. Please come back tomorrow if you need his service.”Nanako hurriedly said, “Please tell Dr. Simmons that there is a patient who urgently needs his hel
Nanako didn’t expect that Charlie Wade would be Master Wade in Dr. Simmons’s eyes or even the True Dragon.Japan had a lot of mythical legends about dragons. After all, the Japanese civilization was originally passed over from Oskia, so the similarities of the two civilizations were very significant.In Japanese culture, dragons were regarded as the most divine creatures that shared almost the same status as gods.However, it was beyond her imagination that this old divine doctor would honor such a young man as the True Dragon on earth.Of course, she couldn’t have known that the influence Charlie brought to Anthony had overturned Anthony’s decades-long perceptions.In Anthony’s opinion, the medical skills that Charlie had displayed as well as the unbelievable medicine refinery skills were simply unique and extraordinary in the world.Not to mention, he himself had benefited greatly from Charlie. A healing magical elixir and the Rejuvenating Pill had opened a new chapter in his l
“Charlie Wade?!”The mention of Charlie’s name sent a chill down Jiro’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…”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!”Nanako nodded. “I didn’t think that he would take me as 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.”Jiro hurriedly asked, “So, are you going to visit Charlie some other 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
It was true that Charlie was very disgusted with Yamamoto Kazuki, but to be fair, he had a good impression of Nanako.Although Nanako had been practicing martial arts for many years, she was a very gentle woman to the core and could be considered a sensible girl which was very rare in the martial art circle.Upon hearing that, Anthony immediately said, “Okay, Master Wade, I understand. Don’t worry, if she comes over again, I’ll do my due diligence in hospitality.”“Good, that would be wise,” Charlie replied. “Okay, Mr. Simmons, I’m almost home, talk to you later.”“Okay, Master Wade.”After ending Anthony’s call, Charlie drove the car into the villa area of Thompson First.He gradually slowed down as he was about to arrive at his house when suddenly, a shadow flashed out from one side and blocked his car.Charlie hurriedly stepped on the brakes to stop the car. He looked up to find the person blocking the front of his car was none other than Nanako!He was puzzled.‘What is th
Nanako frowned and said, “Mr. Wade, please clarify your statement!”Charlie uttered, “First of all, if you walk on the path of the world of martial arts, you should first cultivate your mind, your body, and then the arts.”“In other words, the importance of the mind in pursuing this journey is greater than the physical strength and the type of martial arts.”“It doesn’t matter whether you practice combat, kickboxing, karate, taekwondo, Wing Chun, or Tai Chi. This is not important. What matters is your heart!”Nanako asked, puzzled, “My heart? What’s wrong with my heart?”Charlie snorted and chided in a condescending tone, “Your heart is full of petty benevolence. It is filled with artifice; it is narrow-minded; it does not admit defeat; most importantly, it lacks wolfishness!”“Wolfish?!” Nanako’s face twisted into a tightened grimace as she exclaimed, “What do you mean? What is wolfishness?”Charlie uttered, “The so-called wolfishness is a wolf nature. It describes the toughnes
Charlie’s words made Nanako realize that she had never been a qualified martial artist.She had won a world championship, and she had been crowned as one of the top young martial artists in the world, yet, she didn’t understand the basic principle of martial arts and the soul within it.Seeing her crying profusely and her body trembling, Charlie couldn’t help but sigh and said, “I’m sorry, I was too harsh with my words just now, but I was hoping that you would understand what the true soul of martial arts is!”Nanako raised her head, her big red eyes staring at Charlie. Then, she bent her legs and knelt on the floor as she said in a sobbing voice, “Please enlighten me, Mr. Wade. I’m ready to listen to your guidance!”Instead of offering his hand to help her up, Charlie said with a serious expression, “The soul of the martial art is not the physical strength, but the strength of the heart!”“If you are strong from within, you will still live up to the spirit of martial arts even if
