El General Todopoderoso de Dragón

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.”
Desmond sighed, “You’re right... Back then, we didn’t take my sister’s words seriously. We assumed she was just following her
husband into something eccentric and didn’t think her words could turn out to be true.”
Violet observed the deep remorse on the old man’s face and felt some of his earlier grievances dissipate. He consoled him,
“Grandpa, there’s no need to blame yourself. Even with the combined strength of the Evans family, confronting the Warrior Den
could have resulted in disaster over 20 years ago. The Warriors Den’s power exceeds your imagination and they could have
easily dealt with the Evans family.”
The old man sighed, acknowledging, “I experienced their strength firsthand during my last visit to New York. I never would have
thought that they had secretly inserted an undercover agent into our midst for such an extended period, orchestrating events
such as weddings and births in such a calculated manner that it would arouse no suspicion whatsoever. When I think about it
now, it sends shivers down my spine. Who spends that much time planning a conspiracy? Moreover, they already have eyes and
ears everywhere, making it difficult for us to remain hidden while they’ve been planning all this time.”
Violet added seriously, “I don’t understand either. With their strength, they could have easily wiped out the Evans family by
sending one or two real Masters. But they haven’t taken action in over two decades. I can’t fathom why they suddenly chose to
attack the Evans family recently.”
His second uncle, Marcus, chimed in, “Perhaps the Evans family possesses something they desire? Something they’ve been
seeking all this time?”
The old man inquired, “What could that be?”
Marcus shook his head, “Dad, I don’t know what it could be. I’m just throwing out possibilities to see if they resonate with
anyone.”
Samuel Evans paused, his brows furrowing in deep thought.
After a moment of reflection, he spoke with a sense of intrigue, “As my condition worsened, the details of what happened after
your sister’s death eluded me. However, the days leading up to that moment have started to resurface in my memory with
increasing clarity. I carefully recollected everything, from when your sister followed your brother-in-law to China until the year she
passed away, every single detail. In those years, your sister mostly resided in China, but she would return with Violet to visit us
during the holidays. During this time, your sister never mentioned anything strange nor entrusted us with anything. It was only

during her final visit to the United States, one year before her death, that she revealed information about the Warrior Den. But
she didn’t leave us anything.... I can’t understand why the Warrior Den has been observing us for two decades. What are they
looking for?”
Violet’s third uncle, Martel, had been quiet for a while before voicing his doubts, “Dad, could it be that they believed my sister left
something for us, but after two decades, they finally realized she hadn’t left them anything valuable, so they became enraged
and wanted to kill us?”
After contemplating for a moment, Samuel Evans replied, “Your theory does make sense. However, I don’t think they’d be that
foolish. They are incredibly powerful and spending twenty years just to
confirm such a trivial matter seems illogical. There must be a motive behind their investment of time and energy.”
Martel nodded in agreement, “Dad, what you say is true...”
Samuel Evans then turned to Jack, the renowned detective and asked, “Jack, what’s your take on this matter?”
Jack shared his insights, “Based on my years of experience in solving crimes, a major case like this would require significant
preparation time. Uncle Evans, your analogy earlier about someone staring at an ant for twenty years just to pass the time is
highly unlikely. If someone spends twenty years studying ants, they must be doing so to find a way to exterminate them
completely. Hence, I agree with you that there must be a significant motive behind the Warrior Den’s actions.”
Jack continued, “As for why they’re acting now, I believe there are two possibilities. First, they’ve planned to execute their real
purpose at this moment. Second, external factors may have forced them to take action prematurely.”
Deep in thought, Violet asked Desmond, “Uncle, have you read the Apocalyptic Book Preface?”
Desmond shook his head, admitting, “I was never interested in such matters, so I paid no attention.”
Violet inquired further, “Do you have any idea where this book went?”
Desmond replied, “I don’t know. After your parents studied that book, they returned to China and I have no idea where it went.”
Violet nodded, realizing that his parent’s departure from the United States was not as he had assumed. Previously, he had
thought that his father’s decision to return to Eastcliff was due to pressure from his grandfather. However, it appeared that his
parents had stumbled upon the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic

Book’ in the United States, which compelled them to embark on a journey back to China to delve into the depths of the
‘Apocalyptic Book’.
The secret of longevity that Gideon mentioned before his death might be related to the clues found in the ‘Preface to the
Apocalyptic Book’.
As this realization dawned upon him, Violet suddenly recalled a crucial detail. Turning to Samuel Evans, he inquired, “By the
way, Grandpa, before my parents left Eastcliff for Aurous Hill, they had some disputes with the Rothschild family, right? Do you
know anything about it?”
Samuel Evans confirmed, “Yes, your father did have some issues with the Rothschild family back then. According to rumors, the
Rothschild family wanted to establish a foothold in China and expand their interests there. They were openly and covertly
competing with several prominent Chinese families. Your father rallied these families together and declared war on the
Rothschild family. After several confrontations, the Rothschild family eventually withdrew from China, but they held a grudge
against your father.”
Violet frowned, saying, “You mentioned the widely rumored version. But what was the actual situation?”
Samuel Evans sighed and said, “The actual situation is quite complex. From what I know, the Rothschild family didn’t initially
intend to target those prominent Chinese families. They had been seeking joint ventures and even showed favor to your father.
However...”
He hesitated before continuing, “Your father accused them of financial intrusion right from the start, amassing considerable
resources to strike them a heavy blow. Later, the head of the Rothschild family’s Asia-Pacific division visited him in Eastcliff, but
your father refused to negotiate and struck him instead. The head of the division returned to the United States with a red face
and the Rothschild family lodged a complaint against your father.”
Violet was taken aback, blurting out, “It doesn’t sound like my father’s style to resort to violence when negotiations don’t go well.”
Samuel Evans nodded, “You’re right. It wasn’t like your father to resort to physical aggression. But he indeed slapped the other
person.”
Violet was even more puzzled, muttering, “In my memory, my dad was always a gentleman. Why would he get into a physical
altercation?”
Everyone present was equally bewildered.

Samuel Evans continued, “At that time, the head of the Rothschild family’s Asia-Pacific division and the person in charge of the
complaint called me. I couldn’t understand why your father acted that way.”
Jack chimed in, “Uncle Evans, can you recall the year when Bruce slapped the head of the Rothschild family’s Asia-Pacific
division?”
Samuel Evans thought for a moment and replied, “It was a few months before their accident. After that incident, Bruce was
kicked out of the Wade family.”
Jack theorized, “Perhaps he did it intentionally to provoke the Rothschild family, creating a reason for himself to be expelled from
the Wade family. He might have sensed the danger and wanted to sever ties with them.”
