As Stephen Thompson reminisced about the past, tears streamed down his face.


    Charlie’s heart ached upon hearing Stephen’s sorrowful cries.


    Even though many years had gone by, the pain and resentment still surged within Charlie as he reflected on the tragic fate of his parents, who had not died by mere ident but by cruel design.


    The burden of parental loss is one that no son can easily bear!


    Without needing Stephen Thompson to express this resentment, Charlie was determined to seek retribution!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    To do anything less would be a disservice to his very existence!


    With a steady voice, he dered, “Steward Thompson, there’s no need to worry. I swear to God that I will avenge my parents! Every single person involved in their murder will pay for their actions!”


    “That’s good to hear!” Stephen Thompson replied, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes, but he quickly added, “However, Master, you must exercise caution. There are many details to uncover, and I urge you to think this through carefully. Don’t expose yourself too soon…”


    “I understand, don’t worry about me,” Charlie reassured him.


    Then, Charlie paused before asking, “There’s something else I need to know, and I hope you’ll be honest with me.”


    “Of course, Master, just ask away!” Stephen Thompson replied eagerly.


    After a moment of contemtion, Charlie inquired, “Did you y a role in arranging my wife, ire?”<fnb9d0> Th?s chapter is updated by FindN0vel</fnb9d0>


    Stephen Thompson quickly responded, “I assure you, I had no involvement in that. I do know your wife’s grandfather, but I never anticipated that he would arrange to meet you at your construction site, hoping you would marry his granddaughter. At that time, I could see she wasn’t your equal, but I chose not to interfere because my priority was your safety and allowing you to live your life freely.”


    Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.


    He was aware that his upbringing in the orphanage had been orchestrated by Stephen Thompson, so he had feared that meeting ire was also part of some n.


    Therefore, he said to Stephen Thompson, “Let’s put a pin in this for now. I have an appointment tonight. Please help me organize the information you’ve gathered these past few days, and we’ll discuss it in person when I have the chance.”


    “Of course, Master!”


    After ending the call, Charlie realized that tears had unconsciously trickled down his cheeks. Only today did he learn that more than a decade ago, his parents had been brutally murdered.


    He also discovered that the orphanage he had lived in was entirely set up by Stephen Thompson to keep his identity hidden.


    The world around him felt dramatically altered, as if everything had be unfamiliar. Thest time he felt this way was when he stumbled upon the Apocalyptic Book, and before that, it was when he was eight years old and learned of his parents’ death.


    Lost in his thoughts, he received a call from Liam, who asked, “Master Wade, when will you arrive? Should Ie pick you up?”


    “No need,” Charlie replied. “I’m going to pick up my wife now, then I’ll head over. Please wait for me.” With that, he hung up and hopped onto his small electric bike, heading towards ire’s studio.
