Emmett exclaimed, “This... This is too unreal, right? They are people who live together daily, so how could they not know Charlie’s true identity?!”
Vera said faintly, “In fact, they made a mistake just like you.”
Emmett hurriedly asked, “What mistake is it? Miss, I hope that you can explain it to me...”
Vera said seriously, “All of you instinctively do not want to think of Charlie as strong and powerful. You constantly feel that he can’t be that powerful, that he couldn’t have conquered Ten Thousand Armies, the life and death of the Schulz family, and that he couldn’t possibly control the Ito family as well as those Japanese families. You think that it’s impossible for him to have done all those incredible things by himself. You wouldn’t have known of Charlie’s true identity if I hadn’t gone to Eastcliff to find you. You probably wouldn’t have seen through his true identity even if you spent day and night with him, then.”
Having said that, Vera added, “But I’m different from you. I’ve witnessed Charlie’s true strength, and I also know how great this strength is, so I’m willing to believe that he is that great and powerful. I think that he is able to conquer Ten Thousand Armies and those big and powerful families just based on this strong point of view. Therefore, I instinctively want to believe that all of the impressive things you mentioned were Charlie’s doing.”
Emmett pondered for a moment and then nodded lightly as he said, “Miss, what you’ve said is very true... I was influenced by my own subjective perception of objective judgment. If I subjectively believe that something is false, my objective logical thinking will also acquiesce to the correctness of my subjective perception. I won’t be able to make any further corrections, then.”
Emmett hurriedly said, “Miss, I can contact Jeremiah Wade and be honest with him if you have this intention. I think I should be able to get Charlie to meet you.”
Vera thought for a moment and then waved her hand as she said, “Forget it. It’s still not the right time. After all, I’ve already put on a show in front of him, so if I show up now, it will definitely trigger his vigilance, and I may even make him defensive of me. He may see me as an enemy, and once he is wary of me, he is bound to be constantly on guard against me even if he is willing to cooperate with me in the future. I don’t want a comrade who is always on guard against me. I want a comrade who can cooperate with me on the basis of mutual trust so that we can join hands to fight against the Qing Eliminating Society.
With that said, Vera suddenly let out a long sigh and said emotionally, “I’m really looking forward to the start of school! I’ll get to know Claudia first in September, meet Charlie through Claudia in October, let Charlie drop his guard against me in November, then confess my true identity and origin to him step by step to give him a little more time to digest the truth and accept it. In that case, we can then join hands to discuss how we should deal with the Qing Eliminating Society in December!”
