Sure enough.

Jaime instantly became nervous, and he tensed up as soon as he heard these words.

He knew that Sophie and his mother had been saved by their benefactor this time.

He also knew that this benefactor of theirs had a mysterious identity and incredible strength.

In the past, there were two top masters in the Schulz family. One of them was Henderson, and the other was Holden.

Henderson was infinitely close to breaking through his third meridian.

As for Holden, he was even more powerful, and he was one of the very few people who could break through his third meridian. However, even with Holden's strength, he would simply be on equal grounds with a Jonin amongst the Japanese ninjas.

Yet, his benefactor could easily kill several ninjas, one of which was a Jonin, in Japan back then!

Based on this situation, it seemed as though his benefactor's strength was at least two to three times stronger as compared to Holden. 6

Moreover, that was under a circumstance where he had not suffered any damage or injuries to himself at all.

This kind of strength was simply unheard of in the domestic martial arts field.

Not to mention a three-star martial artist, even a four-star martial artist might not be on par with him.

What made Jaime feel even more worried was the fact that he did not know what kind of relationship Sophie had with their benefactor or whether there was any substantial progress or not.

He also realized that Sophie seemed to be hiding a certain amount of information regarding the matter where her benefactor had saved her this time. If there was indeed a love affair between Sophie and her benefactor, it would all be over. With her benefactor's help, even if Sophie could not bring the Schulz family down, she could take Lord Schulz's life easily!

Moreover, Sophie had already said that she would only marry her benefactor in her lifetime. She would never look up to any other men. So, perhaps something was really going on between the both of them! 'This is really bad...' Jaime was panicking in his heart.

He secretly thought to himself, 'I should have already thought of the fact that our benefactor might be interested in Sophie...' 4 'Otherwise, he would not have come all the way to Aurous Hill to save Sophie again after already saving her once in Kyoto!'

'This is seriously bad...'

As he thought about this, Jaime asked tentatively," Sophie, do you know our benefactor's specific identity? Could it be that the both of you are in a relationship?"

Sophie was silent for a moment before she said seriously, "Brother, there are some things that I've already promised that I would not tell anyone else, and I cannot tell you about it either. I hope that you can understand."

Sophie was not exaggerating when she said these words.

She had indeed promised Charlie that she would not tell the public anything about his identity as well as the specific details of how he had rescued her.

However, Sophie was very smart in the sense that she was deliberately being very vague.

A statement stating 'some things' would immediately give the listener a lot of room for reverie. Jaime also could not help but start overthinking things. 6
