Chapter - 5299

"Martial arts?" Nanako asked in amazement. "Mr. Wade, are you referring to Chinese martial arts?"

Concerned about her foreign background, she added softly, "I'm not from China, after all. Will it be okay for me to learn?"

Charlie waved his hand and spoke earnestly. "Chinese martial arts have already taken root and flourished worldwide. Many overseas schools recruit foreign disciples, and Dragon Temple has many foreign members. You have nothing to worry about. If you're interested, I can arrange for you to participate."

Excitedly, Nanako asked, "What kind of training is it? Will Mr. Wade personally train us?"

Charlie smiled and shook his head. "I don't have the expertise to train you. The former head of a North American martial arts school will be leading the training, which will start with core principles and will be very beginner-friendly for those not familiar with it."

Feeling a bit uncertain, Nanako admitted, "Mr. Wade, I've been practicing Japanese martial arts and Sanda fighting. According to Mr. Yamamoto, a Japanese martial art is a foreigner's kung fu. Chinese martial arts is an internal kung fu, and I've never been exposed to it before. I'm afraid I might have a difficult time learning it."

Charlie reassured her with a smile. "Don't worry. With me here, it's impossible for you not to learn."

From Charlie's perspective, Nanako, Aurora, Don Albert, and Isaac were all new to martial arts, but Nanako was the most promising of the group. Having practiced martial arts and Sanda for many years and taken the Rejuvenation Pill, she had already built a strong physical foundation. With the right guidance, she could learn the mental method of the Mystic Harmony Sect quickly.

Nanako was thrilled with the idea and eagerly agreed. "If that's what Mr. Wade thinks, then I'll work hard and not let you down!"

Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "Mr. Wade, do you know how long this training will last?"

"Don't worry," Charlie reassured her. "If you miss any sessions, you can always come back and make it up later."

Nanako's joy only grew. "That's fantastic! There's nothing particularly pressing with the family lately. Professional managers and executive teams handle everything, and there's even a third-party team to oversee and audit. The company's operations and financial status are reported to me once a week, no matter where I am. So, I can stay in Aurous Hill for a while longer without needing to return there myself."

Continuing her train of thought, Nanako added, "Actually, Odo-san doesn't really want to return to Japan. He's quite well-known there, and if he goes back, he'll have to keep a low profile to avoid revealing that his legs have healed. But here in Aurous Hill, he doesn't have such a heavy psychological burden. He only needs to dress up slightly and wear a cap when going out, and he won't be recognized by others. It's much easier for him."

Charlie nodded in satisfaction. "That's good to hear."
