The Evans family knew that their ‘Benefactor’ was the same person as the ‘Benefactor’ of the Joules family. However, when Desmond learned that the mysterious figure behind it all was, in fact, his long-lost nephew, missing for twenty years, it felt almost too incredible to believe.

Viola couldn’t keep the secret any longer and spoke nonchalantly, “During the Rejuvenation Pill auction, Mr. Joules planned to purchase a pill, but unexpectedly, his son schemed to seize the power. I had some friendship with Miss Joules, so I helped her and her grandfather.”

Desmond nodded thoughtfully and sighed, “Truly unexpected… My own nephew possesses such extraordinary abilities, what a treasure he is!”

Jack, who had remained silent all this while, finally spoke, “Desmond, let’s not forget that Mr. Wade once brought me back to life.”

“Yes, Yes,” Desmond replied, snapping back to the conversation. “It’s astonishing! I used to hear my brother-in-law talk about these extraordinary matters and I must admit, I was a little dismissive. I always thought of him as a scholar, a young financial talent who dabbled in strange pursuits. But now, it seems he had already glimpsed the mysteries of the world. No wonder he was so resolute…”

Viola couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, did my father study the inheritance of cultivation and destiny?”

Desmond nodded, saying, “When your parents were in the United States, they began their exploration. At that time, I didn’t believe it, foolishly.”

Viola eagerly inquired, “Uncle, could you tell me more about it? Why did my father delve into these things?”
