Twenty years had passed, and Jasmine found himself having dinner with his grandparents and their
extended family for the first time. However, he hadn’t eaten anything yet, and his mind was racing.
He hadn’t disclosed to his grandparents and Jack that he had obtained the “Apocalyptic Book.” So far,
only Maria knew about it. He had chosen to confide in her not only because she had revealed her own
secret of nearly four centuries of life, but also because he felt an inexplicable connection with her. They
were kindred spirits, confidants.
At this moment, Jasmine longed to see Maria as soon as possible.
He believed that he could only reveal the truth about the dragon’s fate, the “Preface to the Apocalyptic
Book,” and the “Apocalyptic Book” to Maria. Even if she didn’t possess any knowledge of the secret,
Jasmine felt that she was an excellent person to confide in, someone he could trust with the doubts in
his heart.
Though he had never expressed it, ever since he had shared his deepest secret with Maria in her
secluded courtyard, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart.
Despite having met only a few times, he already considered Maria his most reliable ally.
At that moment, the elderly Samuel Evans seemed to sense Jasmine’s unease and quickly changed
the topic. He said, “Jordan, I’ve introduced you to your uncle earlier, and now I’ll introduce you to the
remaining two family members—your other uncle and aunt.”
He pointed to Marcus and continued, “Jordan, this is your second uncle, Marcus. He is responsible for
the Evans family’s international business.” Jasmine smiled and greeted him, “Hello, Second Uncle.”
Marcus stepped forward and embraced Jasmine warmly. He said, “Jordan, from now on, the Evans
family is your own. If you ever need the resources and support of the Evans family, just ask!”
Jasmine nodded in acknowledgment, and then Samuel Evans introduced Martel, saying, “Jordan, this
is your third uncle, Martel.”
Jasmine greeted his third uncle with respect, saying, “Hello, Third Uncle.”
Martel approached Jasmine gently and embraced him, unable to hide a sigh. “Jordan, I will always be
grateful to you for what happened in New York. If it weren’t for you, I would have been blinded by self-
doubt and might have destroyed the entire Evans family…”
Jasmine patted Martel’s arm reassuringly and replied earnestly, “Uncle Martel, don’t blame yourself.
You were the biggest victim in that situation. You suffered the most. If it weren’t for you, my parents,
siblings, and I might have lost our lives. So, please don’t burden yourself with guilt.”
Martel let out a long sigh upon hearing Jasmine’s words. He had been deceived by his own wife for
over a decade—a wife who had become an assassin targeting him and his loved ones. He was
undoubtedly the most injured party in the entire incident.
Sensing his uncle’s melancholy, Jasmine comforted him, “Uncle, what happened to you was not your
fault. You were the primary victim of Amelia’s actions. Don’t blame yourself.”
Samuel Evans didn’t dwell on the matter and instead introduced Jasmine’s aunt, saying, “Jordan, this is
your aunt, Tece. The last time you went to the United States with your mother, she was just a young
girl. She was the one your mother loved the most.” Jasmine greeted his aunt politely, “Hello, Auntie.”
Tece’s eyes welled up with tears as she approached Jordan, hugging him tightly. She choked back her
sobs and said, “Auntie has been waiting for this day for so many years, finally hoping for our family’s
Jasmine to return. Our Jasmine has grown up and achieved great things. Your parents would be so
proud…”
Being the youngest in the Evans family, Tece had always been the most cherished. Raised by her older
sister, she was like a half-mother to her. Moreover, her three elder brothers doted on her. Although Lily
was the eldest and held a special place in their parents’ hearts, she received an abundance of love and
attention from her siblings.
Tece never took her favored position for granted. She was the most caring daughter and sister in the
family. From an early age, she had been greatly influenced by her sister, and their bond had been the
closest. Even though her sister had passed away twenty years ago, and she was now older than her
sister had been, the image of her dear sister remained alive in her heart.
Seeing Jasmine triggered memories of the love and attention she had received from her sister. An
overwhelming sense of sadness washed over her.
Samuel Evans glanced at Jack and said with anger, “Jordan, I won’t introduce that scoundrel Jack to
you. He knew about your true identity before any of us did.” Samuel Evans was slightly resentful that
Jack had kept Jasmine’s identity a secret.
Jack, understanding Samuel Evans’s complaint, responded helplessly, “Uncle Evans, Mr. Wade is my
savior. Without him, I would either be buried in the ground or frozen in a liquid nitrogen tank. Mr. Wade
explicitly asked me not to reveal his identity. Can you blame me for respecting my savior’s wishes?”
Samuel Evans rolled his eyes and retorted, “I’m not really blaming you, kid. I know you did the right
thing. I’m just a little unhappy. Don’t I have the right to be unhappy?”
Jack nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, yes… Uncle Evans, I didn’t say anything. During our previous
conversations, I discreetly hinted at the high possibility of finding Jasmine in Aurous Hill and even
analyzed the orphanage for you. The suspicions were significant…”
Samuel Evans interrupted him, annoyed. “You may have analyzed it for us, but you did it too late. If you
had mentioned it half an hour earlier, Jasmine would have walked in himself!”
Jack smiled awkwardly, scratching his head, and muttered, “Oh, I didn’t expect…”
Samuel Evans waved his hand dismissively. “Alright, I won’t hold it against you any longer. I know you
did your best. Your uncle isn’t angry with you.” Clearing his throat, he continued, “Since Jasmine is
back and everyone in the Evans family is gathered here today, I have an announcement to make in
front of all of you.”
Everyone turned their attention to the old man, eager to hear what he had to say.
Samuel Evans declared, “From today onward, 60% of the Evans Family assets in various sectors will
be given to Rowan.” He added, “I don’t need your opinions. Let me provide three reasons for my
decision. First, at least half of our current assets were earned by Jasmine’s mother. Second, Jasmine
has been away from home for so many years, and our Evans family owes him. Lastly, Jasmine has
saved the Evans family twice and has shown great kindness towards us. Do you all understand?”
Jasmine’s three uncles and aunt echoed in unison, “Dad, we have no objection!”
At that moment, Jasmine spoke up, “Grandpa, the Evans family’s wealth belongs to the Evans family,
not to me. I cannot accept it.”
Samuel Evans waved his hand dismissively and said, “Jordan, grandpa isn’t being polite to you. Money
isn’t important to the Evans family. The 60% is just a number; it won’t affect your life. However, you
need to confront the Warriors Den and enhance your overall strength. Remember, the Warriors Den
isn’t your sole enemy; they are the common enemy of our family. The wealth of the Evans family can
be used to its fullest potential in your hands.”
Jasmine smiled and responded, “Grandpa, I appreciate your kindness, but I genuinely don’t need the
money. Furthermore, money isn’t very effective against the Warriors Den.”
With that, Jasmine pulled out two Rejuvenation Pills from his pocket and calmly stated, “Look at these
two Rejuvenation Pills. Each one can be sold for one to two hundred billion, or even two to three
hundred billion dollars. If I ever need money, I can privately trade them with a few wealthy individuals
and accumulate a substantial fortune.”
Desmond stared at the Rejuvenation Pills, somewhat embarrassed. “Oh, these are the Rejuvenation
Pills I failed to acquire for over 300 billion dollars…”
Jasmine smiled and confirmed, “Exactly.” He then handed the two pills to his grandparents and said,
“Grandpa and Grandma, these two pills are a small gift from your grandson. Please accept them.
You’re both getting older and suffer from various ailments. These pills can extend your lives by at least
twenty years.”
Jasmine’s grandparents instinctively stepped back, and his grandmother protested, “Jordan, these pills
are incredibly valuable. You can exchange them for an immense amount of money. It’s a waste to give
them to us.”
Samuel nodded in agreement, “Jordan, you previously gave a pill to save your grandpa’s life. How
could grandpa accept it again? Moreover, since I came to Aurous Hill, my health has improved
significantly. Even my Alzheimer’s disease has lessened, and your grandma is also in good health. This
time, let’s not waste the pills on the two of us.”
Jasmine smiled faintly and replied, “You mentioned that your health has improved since coming to
Aurous Hill. Did it improve during the few days you stayed at Willow Estates?”
Grandpa Samuel confirmed, “Yes, it was after staying at Willow Estates that our health noticeably
improved. It wasn’t just me; your grandmother and uncle also experienced improvements. I heard that
your grandmother consulted a Fengshui master for the villa, and though I was skeptical at first, I’m now
convinced.”
Jasmine nonchalantly stated, “Willow Estates’s ability to enhance your health has nothing to do with
Fengshui. Fengshui can alter a person’s fortune and energy, but it doesn’t have an immediate effect
like this.”
Samuel Evans asked, surprised, “Then how does it work?”
Jasmine shrugged and smiled, “When Master Vail visited the villa to assess the Fengshui, I went along.
Knowing about your health issues and grandma’s aging, I left a formation and a Rejuvenation Pill there.
The logic is simple—the formation can’t control the medicinal properties of the Rejuvenation Pill. I
designed it to release the medicine slowly within the villa, allowing the occupants to absorb its
benefits.”
The Evans family was dumbfounded, and the old man exclaimed, “Jasmine… you… you left a
Rejuvenation Pill worth 300 billion dollars in that house?!”
