Cynthia Wade felt a deep sense of injustice, yet there was little she could do about it. She simply remarked, “Dad, don’t forget to send a ne before you go to sleep…”<fn2982> Th?s chapter is updated by findnovel</fn2982>
Lord Wade replied wearily, “You don’t need to bother me with something as trivial as arranging a ne. Just call Stephen Thompson, and he can handle it.”
Hearing this, Cynthia felt even more wronged. “I know I could just go through Stephen Thompson for something like this. But the reason I approached Dad directly was to evoke some sympathy. I thought it might alter his perception of Charlie. Plus, given the grievances I faced in Aurous Hill, I figured he might offer me somepensation. But it seems I don’t hold much value in his eyes…” she pondered. Though she was dissatisfied, she didn’t want to push her luck with her father at that moment.
Just as she was about to wish her father goodnight and end the video call, thendline next to his bed rang unexpectedly. This particr line was reserved for emergencies; it was only used for significant matters when Lord Wade was resting. Sensing the urgency, he put the video call aside and answered the phone, asking, “What’s going on?”
On the other end, Stephen Thompson urgently reported, “Master! We just received news that James, the second son of the Banks Family, has gone missing in Aurous Hill tonight!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“What?!” Lord Wade, who had been tired just moments ago, shot up in excitement. “James is missing in Aurous Hill?! Is that true?!”
“Yes, it’s true! The Banks Family has mobilized arge number of people to Aurous Hill overnight to search for James!” Stephen Thompson confirmed.
Lord Wade’s excitement grew immensely. He chuckled, “Fantastic! One son has gone to Australia, and now another is missing in Aurous Hill. The old man has lost two sons! His power is significantly weakened!” He then sighed, “James must have fallen victim to Charlie! There’s no one else with that kind of strength or courage in Aurous Hill!”
“Master, we don’t have conclusive evidence yet, but it has to be Young Master Wade,” Stephen Thompson replied cautiously.
Lord Wade confidently asserted, “It has to be him! There’s no one else capable of this!”
He continued, “Charlie Wade has the audacity to take on the second son of the Banks Family! He’s like a fearless young calf confronting a tiger!”
On the line, Stephen Thompson responded seriously, “Master, Charlie Wade is the son of Bruce! It has been said that Bruce carries the destiny of a real dragon. Since Charlie is Bruce’s son, he isn’t just a fearless calf; he’s… he’s a dragon!”
Lord Wadeughed heartily, “Yes, indeed! He is Bruce’s son! Just like his father, he’s one of a kind!”
With growing excitement, Lord Wade eximed, “With Charlie around, the Wade family is on the brink of a tremendous rise! It’s just a matter of time!”
Cynthia Wade, still on the call, was taken aback by her father’s exuberance. At that moment, she had no energy to feel disappointed; she was entirely stunned by Charlie’s actions. Fear gripped her as she thought, “Charlie… has he lost his mind?! He dares to go after James Banks?! That’s the second son of the Banks Family! How could he show such tant disregard for James? What could I possibly do to make him pay for the humiliation he caused me?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
