The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5878

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain where Quiant Monastery was located, Charlie still hadn't decided to abandon the journey. Leaving like this would indeed leave him feeling dissatisfied.

However, Vera's analysis made sense as well. If someone went through the trouble to warn them, it would be too arrogant of them to insist on going forward against the person’s advice. The thought of being arrogant suddenly dawned on Charlie, and he realized that his current strength was far from enough when facing the unknown.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed and admitted, “That abbess is probably right. My strength is even inferior to Fleur's. I shouldn't be overly confident. Besides, she knows our information and movements, which means she's not an ordinary person.”

As he spoke, Charlie looked at Vera and said seriously, “Miss Lavor, you are smarter than me, you think deeper than I do and see even more clearly than I do. Since you are also advising me to stop, I will listen to you and return to Aurous Hill after we eat.”

Vera, who was extremely nervous, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Charlie would stubbornly refuse to listen to anyone’s advice and stick to his goals no matter what others said. Now that Charlie had agreed to turn back, she felt relieved.

So, like a girl with high emotional intelligence coaxing her immature boyfriend, she hooked her arm around his and said with a smile, “Young Master, although we are only stopping here today, it's not forever. We just need to stop here for now, go back, rest well, and prepare thoroughly. When a better opportunity arises, we can try again. Experts often say it's a strategic retreat.”

Charlie couldn't help feeling inevitably depressed as he said, “A retreat is a retreat. There's no such thing as a strategic retreat.”

Vera smiled as she looked at him and asked, “Young Master, have you ever climbed Mount Everest or K2?”
