When Sophie heard this, she could not help but raise her head to look at Charlie.
She realized that Charlie seemed to have been very cautious and perceptive in estimating all of her grandfather's schemes. Charlie had said that her grandfather would most certainly cand beg for her help, and unexpectedly, her grandfather was indeed acting just as Charlie had predicted. 1 However, Sophie did not know exactly how her grandfather had made Charlie angry, nor did she know that her grandfather had sent a master in witchcraft to cto Aurous Hill to try and assassinate Charlie. So, Sophie did not immediately agree to his request. Instead, she spoke up and asked, "Grandpa, you said that there are smisunderstandings between you and my benefactor. Can you tellexactly what the misunderstanding is first? Even if I were to agree to your request, I'll only be able to find an entry point to communicate with my benefactor after understanding the situation clearly." 3 Cadfan hesitated for a moment before he sighed a few times and said, "Sigh... In truth, it is not a misunderstanding. The main point is that I was muddled for a moment. I hired a metaphysics master from England and sent him to Aurous Hill to uncover your benefactor's whereabouts." 2 As he spoke, Cadfan then made up an excuse for himself again as he said, "Actually, I did not want to hurt your benefactor at all. I simply wanted to find him so that I could talk to him face to face. However, it seems as though the metaphysics master that I hired might have used too much force and gone overboard. He killed an innocent person in Aurous Hill, and he also tried to kill your benefactor, but this was all his own idea. I think that your benefactor does not know about this, and your benefactor thinks that I was the one who sent the metaphysics master there to kill him. So, your benefactor is a little mad at me..." 3 Sophie was instantly dumbfounded.
She truly did not expect that her grandfather would have actually cup with such a petty move! 3 Moreover, this time, his petty move was not directed a t her, but at her benefactor instead! This instantly made her very furious and enraged, and she blurted out, "Why did you send someone to assassinate my benefactor?!" When Cadfan saw that Sophie was no longer addressing him as 'Grandpa' when she spoke to him now, he realized that she must be very angry. So, he hurriedly intention at all. It was that velexplained, "This was not my who did not know any better, and he was the one who insisted on parading his superiority to prove that he was better than others..." Sophie questioned him in return, "Do you honestly think that I will believe you? You could even bring yourself to kill my mother and I, then let alone my benefactor?!" Cadfan knew that his sophistry was already pointless at this time. So, he could only say helplessly, "Sophie, there is no significance in us talking about this anymore now. I can guarantee that I'll never make the smistake again. I hope that you will be willing to talk to your benefactor and ask him for mercy on my behalf..." 2 Although Sophie was very angry and frustrated, when she remembered what Charlie had said, her tone eased a little as she said, "I'm currently having a discussion with Ito Yahiko at Shangri-La. I'm not really clear about the situation with my benefactor now. However, I'll try my best to intercede with my benefactor on your behalf after I'm done with my discussion with Mr. Ito." After she was done speaking, Sophie warned in a serious tone, "Grandpa, I have to tell you clearly that my benefactor has already saved my life twice. He has also saved my mother and my elder brother's lives. He has been very kind to me, and in my heart, he is even more important toas compared to you!" 3 Although Cadfan was very dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything else at this time.
He knew that Sophie was speaking from the bottom of her heart, and it had already been a long tsince he was no longer the grandfather F that used to dote on her, but he could be considered more like her enemy now. Therefore, he was not that surprised when Sophie said these words. 3
However, he was actually surprised at Sophie's clear-cut attitude. It seemed as though hisgranddaughter's method of getting things done had beceven more simple and brutal now. 2
Although he was very dissatisfied, Cadfan was relieved to hear Sophie say that she would be willing to X
