Chapter 5581
In that moment, Charlie lost control of his emotions. He bowed his head, covered his face and cried outloud!
In his youth, Charlie’s parents were brutally taken from him. For years afterward, the weight of solitudeand the burden of living alone haunted him. Were it not for the unwavering care and guidance from Mrs.Lewis over the past decade, Charlie might have succumbed to despair, veering toward a distorted path,or worse, ending his own life.
The discovery of the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ granted him the ability to unravel the hidden details of hisparents’ demise. Learning that his father orchestrated his safe upbringing in the orphanage intensifiedCharlie’s sense of shame.
But the revelation that the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ was his father’s bequest and that the destiny he unlockedwas, in fact, his father’s self-sacrifice, overwhelmed him with shame.
Adding to Charlie’s torment were the recent words of Peter. Cole described the act of stripping awayone’s fate as the cruelest thing he had ever witnessed.
As Charlie collapsed in tears, Peter placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. With relief, he said,“Young Master, don’t burden yourself with guilt. This was your father’s deliberate choice. He understoodthat without sacrificing his life for you, both he and you would face inevitable death. Through thissacrifice, though powerless, he provided you a chance to survive and defeat the Warriors Den.”
Peter continued, “Your father’s decision now appears correct. With the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ in yourpossession, given time, you’ll surely be able to vanquish Morgana and avenge your parents.”
Jagoan, still sobbing, nodded solemnly. At this moment, he realized the depth of his father’s trust in him.The destruction of the Warriors Den and the defeat of Morgana were imprinted in his very bones sincechildhood.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Jagoan turned to Peter and asked, “Uncle Cole, were you there when myfather bestowed his destiny upon me?”
Peter nodded “Yes, your father asked me to rush from the United States to witness the process. Hefeared something might go wrong during the destiny-stripping and he wanted me to take the jade pot,containing the ‘Apocalyptic Book,’ back to the United States. It wasn’t until Master Exeor resolved yourpredicament that I brought it back to China.”
After a moment of hesitation, Jagoan inquired, “Can you tell me how the destiny is separated? Ordescribe the scene you witnessed?”novelbin
Peter shook his head “Young Master, I’m not an expert and I haven’t grasped the contents of the‘Apocalyptic Book Preface.’ I won’t burden you with those details today or in the future. Look ahead andmove forward, dwelling on the past will only haunt you.”
Jagoan whispered, “I just want to know what my father went through back then. What did heexperience?”
Understandingly, Peter responded, “I empathize with your curiosity, but dwelling on the past can becomean inner demon. Even for me, recalling those years is an unbearable burden. I ask for your forgivenessin not divulging those details.”
Jagoan, after a long pause, reluctantly nodded.
Changing the subject, Peter advised, “Young Master, I’ve hidden the Four Treasures of the Study in asecure location. Once you leave, retrieve it promptly and bring it back to China.”
Jagoan asked, “Uncle Cole, where did you hide the Four Treasures of the Study?”
Peter smiled, “It’s hidden outside the Cole family’s manor in New Jersey, near New York. In the base ofthe male lion statue at the entrance, there’s a concealed compartment holding the treasure. To open it,you just need a small crane or forklift to lift the male lion’s body, revealing the hidden compartment.”
Jagoan, surprised, questioned, “Such a crucial item has always been at your doorstep?”
Peter nodded, explaining, “The Rothschild family has searched our properties countless times, but theynever suspected the stone lions at the entrance. My manor’s sixteen hidden compartments haveremained untouched. The U.S., being sparsely populated, ensures secrecy. Hiding it here guaranteesmaximum safety.”
Jagoan marveled at Peter’s audacity. Putting such a vital item at an unguarded entrance requiredimmense courage.
Peter cautioned Jagoan, “Young Master, despite months passing, the Rothschild family may still bewatching. With your strength, though, I believe they haven’t discovered anything.”
Jagoan assured, “Don’t worry, Uncle Cole. I’ll bring the Treasure back to China promptly. After returning itto China intact, we’ll release the news and force the Rothschild family to abandon their pursuit.”
Adding a final touch, Jagoan declared, “I won’t settle for them just giving up, I’ll tarnish their reputation.I’ll find a way to make them personally release you and grant you freedom!”
