The Charismatic Charlie Wade

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.
