In a state of utmost desperation, he felt compelled to explain with sincere urgency, “Miss Moore, I must confess something to
you. Some time ago, a devastating catastrophe befell my beloved Evans Family. However, from the shadows emerged a
mysterious benefactor, extending a helping hand during our darkest hour. This enigmatic figure not only saved a dear friend of
mine from the clutches of death but also assisted us in ways that surpassed our understanding. That is why I have come here, to
ascertain whether this savior and the gentleman you mentioned are one and the same. Miss Moore, I implore you, you must
have some means of contacting this gentleman. I am not asking for his contact information to be revealed, but I beseech you to
help me confirm our suspicions.”
Jasmine’s lips curved into a subtle smile as she nodded, her gaze shifting towards Desmond.
With an air of nonchalance, she continued, her words flowing effortlessly, “Mr. Evans is referring to the peril that befell the Evans
Family and Inspector Jack Lee in New York, where they were miraculously rescued, correct?”
Desmond’s expression contorted into one of horror!
The incident that had befallen the Evans Family remained shrouded in secrecy, unknown to the outside world. To this day, no
outsiders possessed knowledge of what transpired. Yet, when he broached the subject moments ago, he had not disclosed any
concrete details, nor had he mentioned New York or Jack Lee.
Astonishingly, Jasmine not only accurately pinpointed the location as New York but also named Jack Lee himself. It was evident
that she possessed intimate knowledge of the events that unfolded in New York on that fateful day
Alarmed, he hastily inquired, “Miss Moore, how did you come to know about this?”
Jasmine responded nonchalantly, her voice carrying a hint of indifference, “Because he reached out to me two days ago, stating
that if the Evans Family were to seek me out, he had a message to deliver.”
Desmond’s excitement grew palpable as he pressed her for more information, his voice quivering with anticipation, “What did he
say?”
Jasmine replied, “He said what happened in New York was merely a small thing, so you need not dwell on it...”
Desmond’s eyes widened, his voice trembling with overwhelming exhilaration, “It’s him! It must be him! This is truly remarkable!
Incredible!”
With great delight shining in his eyes, he pressed on, unable to contain his curiosity any longer. “Miss Moore, may I inquire about
what else your benefactor mentioned?”
Jasmine shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. “That’s all. He knows you want to verify this matter, so it can be
considered a resolution to your doubts. Are you satisfied now?”
Desmond’s voice quivered with raw emotion, his every word a testament to his heartfelt gratitude. “The Evans Family, we’ve
always stood alone, without any allies to lean on. To make matters worse, I foolishly let slip some words at the auction. But
instead of scolding me, he came to our rescue, saving not just me, but over a dozen members of my family—the Evans—while
also rescuing my dear friend Jack. I’m at a loss for words. I can never truly repay such an extraordinary act of kindness...”
Jasmine’s eyes sparkled with sincerity as she spoke with unwavering earnestness. “Mr. Evans, there’s no need for you to worry.
When you sow seeds of goodness, your future becomes secure. The universe rewards those who are worthy of salvation.”
With deep respect, Desmond clasped his hands together in a gesture of profound appreciation. “Miss Moore, if you have the
chance, please convey the deepest gratitude of the Evans Family to our
benevolent savior! Moreover, there is another matter that the Evans Family humbly wishes to present before him. I implore you,
Miss Moore, to act as our messenger. If he consents, we, the Evans Family, are prepared to bestow upon him half of our
ancestral fortune!”
Jasmine leaned in closer, her curiosity piqued. “Pray tell, Mr. Evans, what is this request of yours?”
Desmond pressed on, his voice laden with urgency, capturing the attention of all present. “There is a nephew in the Evans family,
who disappeared without a trace two decades ago. His name is Jagoan Wade, a twenty-eight-year-old man, the sole child of my
sister, Lily Evans, and her husband, Bruce Wade. We’ve been tirelessly searching for him for twenty long years, but he remains a
ghost. If we can locate Jagoan, the Evans Family is prepared to make a staggering sacrifice, half of our entire wealth!”
Jasmine stood there, dumbfounded, her mind racing with astonishment. She could never have fathomed that the Evans Family
would go to such lengths, going so far as to offer up half of their immense fortune in their relentless pursuit of Jagoan.
Yet, Desmond and the Evans Family harbored no illusions about the gravity of their proposition.
Before Desmond’s arrival, the family had come to a unanimous decision during a solemn gathering. Aware of the bleak
circumstances that loomed over them, they acknowledged that as long as Aurous Hills provided temporary refuge from the
Warriors Den, they would seek solace within its protective walls. But deep down, they knew the writing on the wall, recognizing
the inevitable fate that awaited them.
The chasm between the two factions, their strengths and resources, was an insurmountable barrier, leaving the Evans Family
devoid of any glimmer of hope for triumph.
In the eyes of the Evans Family, the enigmatic savior who had miraculously rescued over a dozen members in the heart of New
York held the key to their very survival. They yearned to confirm whether
this mysterious benefactor possessed the fabled Rejuvenation Pill, an elixir that not only promised their family’s continued
existence but also held a glimmer of hope for the ailing patriarch’s debilitating condition.
This person, they believed, wielded the power to shape the destiny of the entire Evans Family.
Furthermore, their benefactor possessed extraordinary capabilities. If they were willing to aid in the search for Jagoan, it was a
task well within their means. Thus, with the assurance of safety, complete healing for the elderly patriarch, and the revelation of
Jagoan’s whereabouts, the Evans Family saw no qualms in offering up half of their wealth. It would be akin to achieving three
monumental goals with a single masterstroke.
After a brief moment, Jasmine shook off her initial shock and responded with unwavering determination, her voice infused with
resolve. “Well, if Mr. Evans insists, I will do everything in my power to find the right opportunity to convey this message.”
Desmond rose from his seat, his fists clenched tightly, as he spoke earnestly, “Thank you, Miss Moore! Miss Moore, there is
another matter for which I seek your invaluable assistance!”
Jasmine nodded, her eyes locked onto Desmond with unwavering determination. “Go ahead, Mr. Evans. If it’s within my power,
I’ll gladly lend a hand.”
With a grave expression, Desmond leaned forward, his voice filled with trust as he revealed a secret. “I won’t hide it from you,
Ms. Moore. The Evans Family has made a resolute decision to establish deep roots in Aurous Hill. As part of this grand plan, we
are currently preparing to build a new business empire right here. It’s a long-term vision that involves gradually shifting more than
half of our operations from the United States to Aurous Hill. However, this process will unfold over several years. The first step is
acquiring a substantial plot of land in Aurous Hill and constructing an office center that rivals the grandeur of Apple’s
headquarters in California.”
