Female Novel
Chapter 5580
Peter’s fervent enthusiasm left Charlie utterly stunned and amazed.
Little did he know that his father had meticulously orchestrated and planned every detail for him.
In that moment, Peter’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he continued, “Ever since the tragedy with yourparents, I’ve been anticipating the day you’d be caught in a dragon’s embrace and soar to the heavens.That wait lasted twenty long years!”
Nearly five years prior, Master Exeor ventured to Eastcliff. Master Exeor set forth from the United Statesand I was in the U.S. too. When the Wade family’s private plane took off from Los Angeles, I stood justoutside the airport runway fence, watching the plane disappear into the sky. In that instant, I knew theday of your dragon’s ascent wasn’t far off!
After Mr. Exeor reached Eastcliff, it took years of dedicated effort to break your predicament in the WadeMountains. The night I heard the news, I stayed awake, flew to China with the ‘Apocalyptic Book,’assumed the identity of ‘Felix Cole’ to secure the Vintage Deluxe manager position, and patiently waitedfor the opportune moment for you to acquire the ‘Apocalyptic Book!’
Charlie never anticipated that all these events would be so intricately connected.
Lost in thought, he questioned, “Uncle Cole, Master Exeor mentioned that I ended up in the DragonShoal because I got married and settled down in Aurous Hill. But my father was killed long before that.How did he plan all this before I turned eight?”
With a somber expression, Peter explained, “Young Master, Master Exeor is a Feng Shui Master. He onlydiscovered your presence in the Dragon’s Shoal after arriving in Eastcliff. At that time, he couldn’tdetermine how long you had been ensnared in the shoal.”
Peter continued, “Master Exeor deduced that you were trapped after marriage, coincidentally, when Ifound him. Actually, your father knew you were in the shoal not because of divine knowledge, but
because when you left Eastcliff with your parents at eight, you were already in the ‘Dragon’s Bank.'”
Jagoan was taken aback, “I was already in the ‘Dragon’s Bank’ at eight?”
“Indeed,” Peter affirmed, “Your family’s departure from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill was a desperate move.Your family’s fate shifted dramatically. From prosperity, it spiraled into a sharp decline. Since then, you’vebeen trapped until Master Exeor broke the situation for you.”
A sudden realization dawned upon Jagoan. He had misunderstood the timeline of Orion Exeor.
Four or five years ago, Master Exeor was invited to Eastcliff by his grandfather, coinciding with the timeof his marriage to Jagoan. Mr. Exeor thought the Jagoan family had just become trapped in LongquanShoal, but in reality, they had been ensnared for over a decade.
Jagoan remembered something crucial and queried Peter, “Uncle Cole, do you know what a DivineDragon is? I keep hearing the term, but I’m unsure of its meaning…”
Peter gazed at Jagoan seriously and stated, “Young Master, the ascending dragon pattern is a uniquedestiny required for the dragon’s path. Historical records suggest that only those with the ascendingdragon destiny pattern can enter the dragon’s path. Your father was a dragon like you, but he could onlyopen the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic Book,’ unable to unlock the ‘Apocalyptic Book.’ The ‘Preface’ statesthat only a Divine Dragon’s life can unlock the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ and embark on the path of dragonascension.”
Perplexed, Jagoan questioned, “My father couldn’t open the ‘Apocalyptic Book,’ yet I, as an orphanridiculed in Aurous Hill, can?”
Peter fixed Jagoan with a serious look and declared, “Young Master, you’re not just a dragon, you’re agenuine Divine Dragon!”
Puzzled, Charlie asked, “Why?”
Peter spoke deliberately, “Young Master, you’re not born with the destiny of a Divine Dragon, it’s a fatemolded day by day. Like the saying, a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix begets a phoenix. Yourfather was a dragon with the highest destiny. To ascend as a dragon, the two dragons must merge intoone.”
With tears in his eyes, Peter added, “Young Master, the reason you’re an ascending dragon is that yourfather separated his destiny and bestowed it upon you. Your father’s dragon, combined with your own,blesses you. Only when you’re adorned with dragon qualities can you be like a dragon!”novelbin
Overwhelmed, Jagoan asked, “Uncle Cole, what did you just say?”
Tears streaming down, Peter explained, “Your father knew he couldn’t match Warriors Den or the BritishJagoan as a dragon. He’d inevitably be killed, along with your mother and you. So, he chose to die,leaving you a chance for survival. He separated his destiny to ensure you could break free from theDragon Trapped Shoal after ascending to the Dragon Rank.”
Jagoan, deeply moved, couldn’t fathom the cruelty behind his journey to obtain the ‘Apocalyptic Book.’
His heart weighed heavy as memories of that fateful year played like a rapid slideshow in his mind,parents, relatives and Aurous Hill flashing before his eyes.
At that moment, Peter maintained a solemn demeanor. “Young Master, after your father parted ways withhis destiny, he took you and your mother to Aurous Hill. He accepted the inevitability of his death,knowing he couldn’t hide without any protection. His death was a sacrifice to secure Warriors Den’swithdrawal and provide you with a chance to grow safely. So, even before your parents left Aurous Hill,you were already destined to be a dragon.”
Jagoan recalled Maria’s words and murmured, “No wonder Maria said my father should be a dragon,otherwise, Gideon wouldn’t have killed him. He separated his dragon destiny and gave it to me.”
Peter revealed, “Your destiny wasn’t obtained by chance, you’re the only one in the world capable offreeing the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ from its container. I orchestrated the events at Vintage Deluxe soeverything felt natural to you and went unnoticed by those who cared.”
Silently listening, Jagoan couldn’t contain the tears any longer. After a prolonged silence, he asked,“Uncle Cole, is it painful to strip away one’s destiny?”
Peter, looking at the ceiling with misty eyes, replied in a choked voice, “Separating one’s destiny is themost agonizing experience I’ve witnessed in my life.”
