Julian Davis spoke slowly and deliberately, “The reason I wanted to pursue a career as a host is to
uncover the whereabouts of my parents.
I mentioned to you before that when I was six years old, my parents placed me in the care of the Elms
family.
However, their current location is unknown.”
Charlie inquired, “So, you hope that by becoming a well-known host, they’ll have a chance to see you?”
Julian’s eyes blazed with a fervent intensity as he replied, “Yes.
To be honest, I always believed they might have had an accident, and that’s why they never came back
to search for me.”
With a heavy sigh, Julian continued, “It wasn’t until twenty years ago, just a few days before your
father’s accident, that he sent me a message.
He informed me that there was a high probability my parents were still alive.”
Charlie furrowed his brows, perplexed.
“My dad? How could he have known about your parents?”
Julian didn’t answer the question but instead gazed at Charlie with a stern expression.
“Charlie, you know your parents.
Why did they return to China back then?”
Charlie pondered for a moment before responding, “I heard that it was my dad who wanted to come
back to China to restore the glory of the Wade family.
As for my mother, she probably followed him out of loyalty as his wife.”
Julian chuckled, “See, that was your father’s brilliance.
If he didn’t want others to see through his true intentions, no one in this world could have.”
Charlie’s eyebrows furrowed, “Uncle Davis, what do you mean exactly? Are you saying my parents had
other secrets when they returned to China?”
With a mysterious smile, Julian replied, “To everyone, Bruce and Lily were genius businesspeople, a
godly couple in the finance industry…”
“But in reality, your father had a great interest in martial arts and traditional culture, even those that
were dismissed by senior intellectuals as superstition and metaphysics.
Although I only dabbled in martial arts as a youth, growing up in a family like the Elms made it easy to
connect with your father, despite the age difference…”
“Despite lacking natural talent in martial arts, he was always studying its roots and underlying logic, as
was your mother.
They even went to great lengths, using vast resources of manpower, materials, and finances, to
investigate the origins of martial arts and metaphysics around the world.”
Charlie furrowed his brows and let out a sigh.
“I don’t seem to have any relevant impressions of my father…”
Julian flashed a reassuring smile.
“Don’t worry, my friend.
Your father was a scholar who delved into the mysteries of martial arts and metaphysics using scientific
methods.
His aim wasn’t to become a warrior himself, but rather to unravel the laws behind martial arts, much
like how Newton discovered the laws of gravity…”
“He used to discuss with me at length about what true chi was and how warriors could harness the
power of meridians and dantian to boost their physical prowess and strength.”
Charlie’s expression was one of confusion mixed with skepticism.
“Scientific methods to decipher the core of martial arts and metaphysics?” he repeated incredulously.
“Can these things really be explained scientifically? It’s like the Rejuvenation Pill that’s said to bring
people back to life and prolong their years, is there a scientific method to research that too?”
“I may be good at martial arts, and I may have a deep understanding of aura, but I don’t know what the
underlying logic is.
How could my father, who wasn’t even a warrior, study something so complex?”
Suddenly, a realization dawned on Julian, and he spoke up with a wry smile, “Oh, Charlie, there’s
something else you should know about your mother.
Despite her seemingly reserved demeanor, she was actually even more passionate about these things
than your father, perhaps even fanatical…”
“In fact, she had a team dedicated to studying this kind of knowledge, and as early as the 1990s, she
leveraged her connections and background in the United States to establish a state-of-the-art
supercomputing center…”
“There were only a handful of countries in the world that could boast such a technological marvel.
Some used their supercomputers to predict global climate patterns, simulate nuclear tests, calculate
planetary orbits and distances within the solar system, and explore the mysteries of the universe’s
birth…”
“But your mother was using the most advanced supercomputer on the planet at the time to uncover the
hidden logic behind the Changes gossip and Feng Shui secrets.”
Charlie’s jaw dropped in shock.
He had never imagined that his mother had such a mysterious and enigmatic side to her.
Suddenly, a thought struck Julian, and he exclaimed, “Oh, I almost forgot! Your mother even took your
father on dozens of martial arts-related archaeological expeditions throughout China before and after
they got married.”
“Archaeology?” Charlie was taken aback.
“I never knew they were involved in any archaeological work.”
Julian chuckled.
“Well, they wouldn’t have let you in on it, my friend.
Their ‘archaeology’, to put it mildly, was never officially sanctioned by the government.
To put it more bluntly, it was tomb raiding…”
“Can you even imagine?” Julian continued, a hint of excitement in his voice.
“These two top-tier rich kids who usually hobnob with Wall Street and Eastcliff’s elite would transform
into night-time adventurers, just like the Mojin school captain from the novels we used to read.”
Charlie shook his head in disbelief.
“This is all so confusing,” he muttered.
“I always thought my parents were solely focused on their business endeavors.
I can’t seem to recall anything related to tomb raiding from my childhood memories…”
Julian leaned in, his voice lowered to a conspiratorial whisper.
“Your parents were incredibly shrewd individuals, my friend.
They never revealed their true intentions to anyone, except for me, that is…”
“Now, let’s get back to the topic of your parents’ return to China.
The truth is, they made the decision to leave the United States and come back to China to pursue their
goals.
It wasn’t what the public believed, your father wished to resurrect the Wade family name, and your
mother wanted to follow her heart…”
“In actuality, they hadn’t planned to return to China at first, or at least not with such urgency.
But one day, your father contacted me and revealed that he had made a groundbreaking discovery in
the States.
He needed to come back to China as soon as possible to verify its authenticity…”
“When I pressed him for more details, he was evasive, but he did mention that if his plans came to
fruition, he would finally resolve the doubts that had been plaguing him for years.”
Charlie’s mind was reeling.
This new information shattered his previously-held beliefs about his parents.
Just a few hours ago, he had given a heartfelt speech at their wedding, thinking he knew them inside
out.
Now, Julian had revealed a hidden side to his parents that he had never even glimpsed before.
After a few minutes of heavy silence, Charlie turned to Julian with a probing look.
“Uncle Davis, before my father’s accident, did he say anything else to you besides mentioning that your
parents might still be alive?”
Julian’s face turned grave as he spoke.
“Your father also told me that he and your mother had fled Eastcliff because your mother had angered
a very powerful and ancient organization.
This group has been around for at least three to four centuries and possesses a strength and history
that far surpasses anyone’s imagination of what a secretive organization could be.”
Charlie’s eyes widened in shock.
“Are you talking about the Warriors Den?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Julian was taken aback for a moment.
“You know about the Warriors Den too?” he said in surprise, noting the stunned expression on Charlie’s
face.
Charlie nodded slowly.
“To be honest, I’ve had some dealings with them, but nothing too significant…”
Julian looked at Charlie in disbelief.
“How did you manage to get in touch with the Warriors Den?” he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Charlie didn’t hesitate to share the truth.
“It was all by chance, really.
The Warriors Den had planned to assassinate my grandparents in the States, but I ended up capturing
one of their operatives as a prisoner.
From there, I was able to follow the trail and gather more information about the organization.”
Julian’s eyes widened in surprise after hearing at this.
“Twenty years have passed, and yet the Warriors Den is still after your mother’s family?” he exclaimed
incredulously.
Charlie gave a wry smile.
“It’s actually my third aunt, who married my uncle.
Nobody could have predicted that she would end up becoming a member of the Warriors Den, even
after all these years.”
“What?” Julian was taken aback “But why would the Warriors Den hide in Evan’s household for two
decades? Your parents are no longer alive, so what’s the point of their continued invasion of the Evans
family?”
