Chapter 1780

Sophie hurriedly asked, “Benefactor! I was wondering if you could lend me your cell phone? I want to call home but I’ve already lost my cell phone…”

Sophie was telling him that she wanted to use his cell phone to call home, but in fact, she was actually trying to make use of this opportunity to get Charlie’s phone number.

It was the information age now. As long as she could get hold of the other party’s phone number, then Sophie would be able to easily find out the other party’s identity and all the information about him then.

If this was the case, then she would be able to find her benefactor after returning home.

Charlie could see right through the other party’s tricks and he sneered as he said, “I’m sorry but my cell phone is my personal belonging so I can’t simply lend it to you.”

After he was done speaking, Charlie reached out his hand and took out a cell phone from one of the ninjas’ bodies before he threw it directly at Sophie. “Here. Use this and call your family instead. Tell them your location and ask them to send someone here to pick both of you up as soon as possible.”

Sophie was stunned and she did not reach out her hand to receive the cell phone from Charlie, so the cell phone fell directly onto her lap. Sophie was extremely disappointed but she could not show it. So, she simply picked up the cell phone and said gratefully, “Thank you, benefactor!”

After that, Charlie continued rifling through the ninja’s body and he found a very thin wallet. Aside from the person’s identification card, there were only five pieces of ten thousand yen bills inside the wallet.

Using the current exchange rate, ten thousand yen could be exchanged for about six hundred dollars. Although fifty thousand yen was not much, it would be sufficient for them to find a place to stay as they waited for a few hours for their family to pick them up.

Otherwise, the fifty thousand yen would also be sufficient for both of them to take the train back to Tokyo too.

So, Charlie handed the money over to Sophie before he said, “You can take this money and quickly leave with your brother then.”

Sophie could not help but hesitate a little deep inside.

She really did not want to leave just like this.

This was because she still did not know Charlie’s identity and she was afraid that she would never be able to see Charlie again.

At this moment, she really wanted to tell Charlie her own identity so he would be able to look for her if he encountered any difficulties after returning to Oskia.

However, Sophie could not bring herself to say those words even when they were already at the tip of her lips.

This was because she knew very well in her heart that someone like Charlie, who had such a tough and unruly temperament, would never attach any importance to her status or identity at all. If she told him that she was the granddaughter of the Schulz family, then it might even work against her instead.

He might misunderstand her instead and think that she was deliberately telling him about her identity and status so that she could place pressure on him. If that was the case, then he would certainly have even more negative feelings for her then.

He might even choose to intentionally avoid her when they were back in Oskia because he would not want to have any sorts of interactions or encounters with her.

If that was the case, she would only be outsmarting herself by revealing her identity to him now.

So, Sophie stood up before she bowed deeply in front of Charlie before she said sincerely, “Thank you for saving our lives, benefactor. If we have the chance to meet each other again in future, I will certainly repay you for your kindness today!”

Jaime also bowed at the side as he said, “Thank you, benefactor!”

Charlie waved his hand before he said, “Alright then, you can leave now. I still have some important business to get to after this. I have no time to continue this formality with you anymore.”

Jaime felt a little awkward and embarrassed and he nodded again before he said, “Sorry for causing a delay in your important business, benefactor…”

Sophie bit her lower lip slightly as she looked at Charlie. She felt like saying something but she decided not to say anything anymore in the end.

As Sophie and Jaime were walking down the wooden staircase from the second-floor side by side, they suddenly turned around and looked at Charlie before they cupped one fist in their other hand and said reluctantly, “Benefactor, we will see you again then when there is a chance in the future!”

Charlie did not even lift his hand as he simply replied coldly, “We will not meet each other again.”
