One Year (Part VII)

[Charles POV]

A week has passed since my date with Rose. Constance, Courtney, and Reina were the only three I needed to speak with. I had tried to speak with the three of them, but they all wanted to lock themselves off.

Currently, I'm on Earth checking Clyde's progress. He was one of the defensive mechanisms that I had in mind.

His talent was surprising. He had reached the top and was on the fourth rank, surpassing Gram.

A month ago, Constance had surpassed Gram in ranking. I wonder how confident he is now that Clyde has also done so. I wouldn't be surprised if it shattered.

"Charles..."

Clyde had a wary expression after seeing me. Our first two meetings weren't on friendly terms, and all of them resulted in Clyde being harmed.

"What do you want?"

"I was interested to see how far you have progressed."

Clyde wasn't hard to find when you had him marked. He had an irritated face when he heard what I said. He knew I wasn't here just to talk.
