"You!"
"Let go of the first lieutenant!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
As the most elite soldiers of the army, their usual training tasks were extremely onerous. They did not have much time to look at their phones.
Therefore, even though they had arrived at the Palmeira nursing home, no one knew the identity of the arrogant skinny monkey in front of them.
If they knew that Charlot had mastered the legendary magic, even the proud Alger would not be so arrogant.
Looking at the angry faces of the soldiers, who did not dare to approach him, Charlot sneered.
Then, he turned his gaze to Alger. Under his terrified and indignant gaze, he took two steps forward.
"Your name is Alger?"
"Who are you? What... what is this ?"
Although Alger felt a fatal threat from the ice spear at his throat, his voice was still calm.
The youngest lieutenant definitely deserved his reputation!
"I'm asking you a question. If you don't want to die, answer honestly!"
Charlot said coldly, "You attacked me first. Even if I kill you, no one can say anything!"
"... Yes, my name is Alger."
Facing the unreasonable Charlot, Alger felt suppressed for a long time and could only answer.
The ice spear was less than two centimeters away from his throat. The extremely low temperature had already made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Then, can you tell me why you surrounded these old people? What laws did they break?"
Charlot looked at the group of old people who had quieted down after his arrival, and the anger in his heart did not diminish.
In his opinion, no matter who he was, after grasping a powerful power, the act of using the power in his hands to target the weak was the most trashy act!
Alger pursed his lips, and his palm was clenched into a fist as he replied coldly.
"It was my superior who asked me to surround the nursing home. These old people... did not break any laws!"
"Then why did you let these soldiers surround them?" Charlot snapped!
"Because they crashed into our soldiers' formation and affected our military affairs!" Alger looked righteous and didn't feel that what he did was wrong at all.
"Military affairs?!
Charlot was so angry that he almost laughed.
What kind of f*cking military affairs could be affected by these weak old people?
At this moment, Charlot really had the urge to stab the ice spear directly into Alger's throat!
However, he also knew that it was not a problem to punish this first lieutenant slightly. If he really killed someone, it would be a big matter.
Not only this was not beneficial to the previous country which had helped him in promoting magic, it would also scare these old people in front of him.
"First Lieutenant Alger, I want to make a deal with you, how about it?"
After being angered to the extreme, Charlot's voice actually calmed down. He spoke indifferently with his gaze landing directly on Alger.
"... What deal?"
His life was in the hands of the other party. Even if Alger wasn't willing, he didn't dare to say anything else.
He could feel that once this ice spear moved three centimeters forward, he would not only have difficulty in breathing, but he would be unable to breathe.
"Get your soldiers out of the nursing home and carry out their actual mission. As for you, can you use your most sincere attitude and tone to apologize to these old people who have been trapped by you for so long for no reason?"
"What kind of deal is this?!"
"Isn't it worth it to use it to trade for your life?"
Charlot's gaze was solemn as he said faintly, "Or do you plan to use your own throat to test how sharp my ice spear is?"
Alger was silent for a moment.
At this point, he also knew that there was a jinx on him.
The order given to him by the commander was to surround the nursing home. He was the one who had led the soldiers in without permission. This was already considered a violation of the order.
If he continued to stubbornly resist, just as Charlot had said, even if he died, it would be for nothing!
As for the ice spear that was flying through the air in front of him...
Alger was still unable to understand. What was this? Magic?
He had some guesses in his heart. Probably, the reason why he and the others were summoned was because of this calm-looking man in front of him.
"I'm willing to accept it, but first, put down this... ice spear!"
"Are you f*cking qualified to negotiate with me?"
Charlot shouted loudly and roared again.
"Immediately! Get your soldiers to retreat!"
"Then! Immediately! Apologize to them!"
Helpless and extremely aggrieved, Alger could only endure Charlot's angry curses and wave his hand to get all the soldiers to retreat from the nursing home.
Then, under the threat of the ice spear, he turned around and bowed deeply to all the elderly people who were trapped.
"I'm sorry. It's our fault. Please forgive us!"
In front of them, the elderly who were either sitting or standing were all honored. They looked at Charlotte with admiration!
"Xiao Xia, good job!"
"We should punish these rude soldiers!"
"We support you!"
"We have nothing to do with this. These soldiers are coming for you!"
Hearing the voice of the concern from the old people, Charlot felt warm in his heart.
Then, he looked at Alger, who was standing up straight, with a cold snort he withdrew his ice spear.
"First Lieutenant Alger, I hope you will remember today's lesson and not repeat the same mistake!"
"The weapons of the strong should be aimed at the stronger ones, not these unarmed old people!"
Alger recovered his throat, which was extremely uncomfortable from the cold of the ice spear, and looked at Charlot calmly.
"Mr. Charlot, I admit defeat this time. We will meet again."
"It might be possible after you are promoted to a general. Now, you can leave." Charlot's voice was cold and calm.
This was really not him bragging!
At the very least, in the current world, he was the only one who had grasped the source of magic.
Moving on, if the country or other officials came to negotiate with him, they would at least have to be at the rank of a general or above.
Alger took a deep look at the calm Charlot again, turned around and left.
There were only Charlot, number one, and a bunch of old people left on the spot.
After Alger left, Charlot relaxed and smiled again.
"Hey, Old John, you're not scared, were you?" Charlot joked with a smile.
In front of the old people, Old John, whose face was full of wrinkles but looked robust, laughed out loud. He walked over and patted Charlot's shoulder.
"Xiao Xia, I used to shake hands with the governor, how could such a small scene scare me!"
"Alright, I hope you won't have nightmares tonight." Charlot smiled.
Subsequently, all the old people gathered around and Old John continued.
"When I go back, I will call all the old men who have never learned magic over. Xiao Xia, the body cleansing spell that you taught us is so useful!"
"I now feel that my arm doesn't hurt anymore and my legs are strong. I even eat an extra bowl of rice for dinner!"
"You should teach these old guys as well. Although we learned it before, we're not qualified to teach others!"
"It's just the simplest magic..."Charlot smiled and reacted.
Old John did this as he wanted him to leave a better impression in the hearts of all the old people.
The so-called "drinking water and thinking about the source" was nothing more than this.
