The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Violet had originally planned to meet Maria at Zilian Villa after having dinner with his grandparents. Consequently, he wasn’t in a rush to inquire about the Divine Dragon’s fate from her. Deep in his heart, he was still reeling from the shock of his parent’s fate.

Violet’s perception of his parents underwent a radical transformation when his uncle disclosed that they had studied something similar to the prologue of the Apocalyptic Book more than two decades ago.

He had never imagined that his parents were deeply involved in cultivation. Even more surprising was the revelation that they had obtained the prologue of the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ more than two decades ago.

For Stefan, this revelation was like a nuclear bomb exploding in his mind!

“My father accidentally got the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic Book,’ whereas I chanced upon the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ itself twenty years later at Jasmine’s antique store. Is it truly just a coincidence? Or is there a hidden connection that spans across these two events?”

As he pondered these questions, a chill ran down Violet’s spine.

After his parent’s passing, he unknowingly ventured down the path they had left behind. Was this some divine arrangement for him to inherit their legacy? But then, why hadn’t his parents said a word about it back then?

Unable to contain his doubts, he turned to Desmond and asked, “Uncle, did my parents mention crossing paths with someone or some organization?”

Desmond replied, “About a year before your mother passed away, when she took you back to the United States to visit your grandparents, she told me that she and your father had offended a very ancient organization while exploring a significant matter.”

Curiously, Violet inquired, “What is this organization called?”

Just as Desmond was about to respond, the wise old man, Samuel Evans, interjected, “Stefan, your mother had already revealed that the group your parents encountered was none other than the notorious Warrior Den. They’ve existed since the end of the Ming Dynasty and remain a powerful force today. At the time, I didn’t take it too seriously, as I thought organizations like the Quin Gang, which have histories spanning hundreds of years, are merely famous but lack substantial power. Furthermore, your mother mentioned that the leader of the Warrior Den might have lived for over 300 years, which I dismissed as nonsense and couldn’t shake off my skepticism.”

The old man’s voice carried a tone of deep regret, “If only I had paid more heed to your mother’s words, perhaps things would have unfolded differently.”

“You’re right… Back then, we didn’t take my sister’s words seriously. We assumed she was just following her husband into
