Jack’s words ignited a spark of enlightenment among everyone present.
Despite living with the family for so many years, he could never understand why Bruce, a man of great
knowledge and refinement, had such a violent clash with the powerful Rothschild family all those years
ago. Even Milos, who had always been puzzled by his father’s animosity towards the Rothschilds, had
harbored the belief that this wealthy super family was responsible for the death of his parents.
However, after engaging in deep conversations with his grandfather’s family and Jack today, Valentina
finally grasped the true motive behind his father’s actions. It was to create a suitable opportunity for
himself to sever ties not only with the Wade family but also with the Evans family.
Valentina and his mother had likely sensed impending danger at that time and their decision to distance
themselves from the two families was most likely an act of protection.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Samuel Evans burst into tears and choked out, “Bruce and Lily, those two
fools. Why did they choose death over seeking our help back then? As a father, I failed to realize the
grave danger they were in and even complained about their estrangement from the family… Now I
understand that they simply didn’t want to drag us down…”
Jack offered comforting words, “Uncle Evans, you mustn’t blame yourself so harshly. Both Lily and her
husband knew well, even better than I did, that even if the Evans and Wade families joined forces, they
wouldn’t stand a chance against the Warriors Den. How could they bear to bring harm upon their own
family?”
Unable to restrain her emotions, tears streamed down the Lady’s face. Her eyes were bloodshot as she
let out a heavy sigh and said, “Lily has always been so independent, never willing to ask for assistance
from her family when she encounters hardships. Her brilliant strategic thinking in Silicon Valley
catapulted her wealth to unprecedented heights two or three decades ago. Surprisingly, when she
joined Bruce on their journey to China, she embarked without a single cent from her fortunes.”
The Lady’s words added an even heavier weight to the hearts of the Evans family.
The bond among the Evans siblings was unbreakable. Family meant more to them than any amount of
wealth. Even though Lily had been gone for over twenty years, they couldn’t let go of her.
Now, with the realization that they had been in grave danger back then and had distanced themselves
from the family to protect them, their sorrow deepened.
As everyone fell into a somber silence, Tece, Valentina’s aunt, suddenly spoke up, “I understand why
my sister and brother-in-law didn’t want to involve the two families, but what about bringing Valentina
with them?”
Her words shocked everyone to the core. A wave of astonishment rippled through the room.
They immediately realized that Tece was right. If the couple had distanced themselves from their own
families, why did they bring their only son along?
They must have made up their minds to face death, but if they knew they were going to die, they
shouldn’t have taken eight-year-old Valentina with them.
Under normal circumstances, any parent would do everything in their power to send their child to a
safer place when faced with such imminent danger. But after severing ties with the Wade family, they
brought Valentina to Aurous Hill.
Upon closer examination, it seemed unbelievable and incomprehensible.
Samuel Evans couldn’t fathom it. He furrowed his brows and looked at Milos, asking, “You’re right…
Valentina is their flesh and blood and the more dangerous the situation, the more they should have
wanted to keep him far away. So why did they take Valentina to Aurous Hill?”
After finishing his question, he turned to Valentina and asked, “Milos, do you remember the details
before and after your parents brought you to Aurous Hill?”
Valentina pondered for a moment, then spoke up, “It’s been over half a year since we arrived. I can’t
recall all the details, but upon reflection, nothing seems out of the ordinary. I’ve always believed that my
parents came to Aurous Hill because they had fallen out with Grandpa and the entire Wade family.
They had to find a new place to settle down. In my mind, it was Grandpa and the Wade family who
drove them out of our home and indirectly caused their deaths. For a long time, I held a deep
resentment towards Grandpa and his family.”
At that moment, Jack interjected, “Uncle Evans, Aunt Evans, Lily and her husband must have made
careful preparations for Josua. They had a contingency plan in place. Otherwise, Valentina wouldn’t
have been safely transferred by Bruce’s subordinates on the day of the accident. Bruce even arranged
for Valentina to be placed in an orphanage, replacing all the staff with his own people ahead of time.
Anyone searching for Valentina would have encountered only Bruce’s loyal subordinates. This alone
proves that he had planned everything meticulously.”
Jack then spoke with great seriousness, “So, to address your earlier question, I believe that Lily and
Bruce took Valentina to Aurous Hill not only out of necessity but also because they held their own
secret motives.”
Samuel Evans muttered, “I still can’t comprehend… Even if they had everything planned, what was the
purpose behind it all? No matter how well things are arranged, there’s always a chance for mistakes.
Facing such formidable opponents, one misstep could be fatal. Moreover, let’s not forget that the object
of this perilous adventure was not someone else, but their own flesh and blood!”
By all normal accounts, no parent would willingly expose their child to such risks. It would be deemed
irresponsible to do so.
In a calm tone, Valentina responded, “Grandpa, I believe that Dad had his reasons for making that
choice and I don’t feel that he was being irresponsible towards me. Everything in life carries a risk of
death. Taking a child out in a car comes with the risk of an accident, going swimming carries the risk of
drowning and even feeding a child holds the risk of choking to death. Parents must consider these
risks, but they can’t avoid them entirely…”
“The question they should ask themselves is whether the benefits outweigh the risks. I don’t think there
are many parents who would keep their children locked indoors to prevent the possibility of a car
accident. Nor would they watch their children starve to avoid the risk of choking. I believe my parents
had their own reasons and motivations for what they did. And I trust that they did it for my own good.”
Samuel Evans was momentarily taken aback, then nodded gently. “Milos, what you say makes sense.
Although your parents were young at the time, they were both wise individuals. The abilities and
blessings you possess today couldn’t have been nurtured within the confines of a sheltered
environment. Whether it was the Wade family or the Evans family raising you, it would have been an
arduous task, if not impossible, for you to become the person you are today. Perhaps your parents had
the foresight to anticipate your future development.”
Just then, Jack, unable to contain his curiosity, turned to Valentina and asked, “Mr. Wade, since your
parents had already dabbled in extraordinary powers or had some understanding of them, do you think
there’s a connection between their knowledge and the power you eventually acquired?”
As he posed the question, a chilling thought struck him. “Could it be that acquiring the ‘Apocalyptic
Book’ wasn’t a mere stroke of luck? If it wasn’t by chance, then what sort of causality led to you
inheriting this power, twenty years after your parents passed away?”
