Chapter 1959
"The man who rescued Jaime Schulz?"
Jeremiah asked in surprise. "Is this the same mysterious man we talked about the other day?"
"Yes!" Clayton nodded. "Rumor has it that when Sophie and Jaime were kidnapped in Japan, they were rescued by this mysterious man."
Jeremiah quizzed again as his curiosity increased." The mysterious man rescued the siblings in Japan, and Schulz family is looking for him here. Are you saying that this man is an Oskian?"
Clayton nodded slowly in response. "Highly likely, yes. Why else would Schulz family look for the man appearing in Japan here in Oskia?" 2
Jeremiah grinned delightfully and said, "Whoever this mysterious man is, one thing's for sure, his ability is beyond anyone’s imagination!"
"Yes!" Clayton agreed. "He could kill so many Iga ninjas and rescue both siblings at the same time, which meant his power is absolutely extraordinary!"
Jeremiah blurted, "If our Wade family can have such a talent under our wings, we have nothing to fear about i n the future." 5
He then continued. "Clayton, tell your men to closely monitor Schulz's family's investigation and progress.
Do everything you can to find this man before Schulz family does. If you can't get ahead of them, at least do your best to recruit him into our family!"
Clayton nodded. "Yes, Father!"
Meanwhile, Carmen, who hadn't spoken a word, had a very peculiar expression plastered on her face.
Suddenly, all the things that Charlie had told her started flashing across her mind. Could he be the mysterious man Schulz family was looking for?! 3
She felt chills running down her spine at the thought o fit.
If Charlie was really the mysterious man, all the more the reason why she could not let him return to Wade family! 3
Charlie was able to secure an extremely high status among the Wades due to his bloodline and marriage contract with Quinn Golding.
If he turned out to be this powerful, mysterious man, his status in the family would inevitably be rock solid. By then, he would definitely kick her out of the family!
Just as Carmen was lost in her conjectures, Jeremiah turned toward the phone once he was done instructing Clayton. Upon realizing Carmen’s odd expression, he asked, "Carmen, what’s the matter?"
Carmen snapped out of her thoughts and quickly replied, "Oh, nothing, Father. I was just thinking about something." 1
Jeremiah nodded. "Okay, then. Carmen, rest early. Hang in there for a couple more days in Aurous Hill. I'll give you a grand welcome home party when you're hack." 2
Carmen smiled, and she replied thankfully, "Thank you, Father!"
After the call ended, Carmen shuddered in fear and regretted her decision to come to Aurous Hill.
She never thought that Charlie would be such a tough nut to crack, and never in her wildest dream did she imagine that this nephew of hers was such an eccentric yet powerful master! 3
If she had known this, she would not have come even i f someone held her at gunpoint. 3
Before she came, she did not consider Charlie as an enemy. She simply felt that Charlie was just a descendant who wandered in the outside world, and let him return to the family was a generous gift from the family. This kind of person could only be the family’s pawn and would not pose any threat to her. 3
However, after coming to Aurous Hill, she realized that her nephew, whom she hadn't seen for more than a decade, was as tough as her brother!
Carmen mumbled to herself: 'It would’ve been better if Charlie was like his father, who was only dauntless and indomitable intellectually, but no, Charlie is different. He is fearless, intellectually, and physically.'
