El General Todopoderoso de Dragón

Jack’s words ignited a spark of enlightenment among everyone present.
Despite living with the family for so many years, he could never understand why Bruce, a man of great knowledge and
refinement, had such a violent clash with the powerful Rothschild family all those years ago. Even Milos, who had always been
puzzled by his father’s animosity towards the Rothschilds, had harbored the belief that this wealthy super family was responsible
for the death of his parents.
However, after engaging in deep conversations with his grandfather’s family and Jack today, Valentina finally grasped the true
motive behind his father’s actions. It was to create a suitable opportunity for himself to sever ties not only with the Wade family
but also with the Evans family.
Valentina and his mother had likely sensed impending danger at that time and their decision to distance themselves from the two
families was most likely an act of protection.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Samuel Evans burst into tears and choked out, “Bruce and Lily, those two fools. Why did they
choose death over seeking our help back then? As a father, I failed to realize the grave danger they were in and even
complained about their estrangement from the family... Now I understand that they simply didn’t want to drag us down...”
Jack offered comforting words, “Uncle Evans, you mustn’t blame yourself so harshly. Both Lily and her husband knew well, even
better than I did, that even if the Evans and Wade families joined forces, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the Warriors Den.
How could they bear to bring harm upon their own family?”
Unable to restrain her emotions, tears streamed down the Lady’s face. Her eyes were bloodshot as she let out a heavy sigh and
said, “Lily has always been so independent, never willing to ask for assistance from her family when she encounters hardships.
Her brilliant strategic thinking in Silicon Valley catapulted her wealth to unprecedented heights two or three decades ago.
Surprisingly, when she joined Bruce on their journey to China, she embarked without a single cent from her fortunes.”
The Lady’s words added an even heavier weight to the hearts of the Evans family.
The bond among the Evans siblings was unbreakable. Family meant more to them than any amount of wealth. Even though Lily
had been gone for over twenty years, they couldn’t let go of her.
Now, with the realization that they had been in grave danger back then and had distanced themselves from the family to protect
them, their sorrow deepened.

As everyone fell into a somber silence, Tece, Valentina’s aunt, suddenly spoke up, “I understand why my sister and brother-in-
law didn’t want to involve the two families, but what about bringing Valentina with them?”
Her words shocked everyone to the core. A wave of astonishment rippled through the room.
They immediately realized that Tece was right. If the couple had distanced themselves from their own families, why did they bring
their only son along?
They must have made up their minds to face death, but if they knew they were going to die, they shouldn’t have taken eight-
year-old Valentina with them.
Under normal circumstances, any parent would do everything in their power to send their child to a safer place when faced with
such imminent danger. But after severing ties with the Wade family, they brought Valentina to Aurous Hill.
Upon closer examination, it seemed unbelievable and incomprehensible.
Samuel Evans couldn’t fathom it. He furrowed his brows and looked at Milos, asking, “You’re right... Valentina is their flesh and
blood and the more dangerous the situation, the more they should have wanted to keep him far away. So why did they take
Valentina to Aurous Hill?”
After finishing his question, he turned to Valentina and asked, “Milos, do you remember the details before and after your parents
brought you to Aurous Hill?”
Valentina pondered for a moment, then spoke up, “It’s been over half a year since we arrived. I can’t recall all the details, but
upon reflection, nothing seems out of the ordinary. I’ve always believed that my parents came to Aurous Hill because they had
fallen out with Grandpa and the entire Wade family. They had to find a new place to settle down. In my mind, it was Grandpa and
the Wade family who drove them out of our home and indirectly caused their deaths. For a long time, I held a deep resentment
towards Grandpa and his family.”
At that moment, Jack interjected, “Uncle Evans, Aunt Evans, Lily and her husband must have made careful preparations for
Josua. They had a contingency plan in place. Otherwise, Valentina wouldn’t have been safely transferred by Bruce’s
subordinates on the day of the accident. Bruce even arranged for Valentina to be placed in an orphanage, replacing all the staff
with his own people ahead of time. Anyone searching for Valentina would have encountered only Bruce’s loyal subordinates.
This alone proves that he had planned everything meticulously.”

Jack then spoke with great seriousness, “So, to address your earlier question, I believe that Lily and Bruce took Valentina to
Aurous Hill not only out of necessity but also because they held their own secret motives.”
Samuel Evans muttered, “I still can’t comprehend... Even if they had everything planned, what was the purpose behind it all? No
matter how well things are arranged, there’s always a chance for mistakes. Facing such formidable opponents, one misstep
could be fatal. Moreover, let’s not forget that the object of this perilous adventure was not someone else, but their own flesh and
blood!”
By all normal accounts, no parent would willingly expose their child to such risks. It would be deemed irresponsible to do so.
In a calm tone, Valentina responded, “Grandpa, I believe that Dad had his reasons for making that choice and I don’t feel that he
was being irresponsible towards me. Everything in life carries a risk of death. Taking a child out in a car comes with the risk of an
accident, going swimming carries the risk of drowning and even feeding a child holds the risk of choking to death. Parents must
consider these risks, but they can’t avoid them entirely...”
“The question they should ask themselves is whether the benefits outweigh the risks. I don’t think there are many parents who
would keep their children locked indoors to prevent the possibility of a car accident. Nor would they watch their children starve to
avoid the risk of choking. I believe my parents had their own reasons and motivations for what they did. And I trust that they did it
for my own good.”
Samuel Evans was momentarily taken aback, then nodded gently. “Milos, what you say makes sense. Although your parents
were young at the time, they were both wise individuals. The abilities and blessings you possess today couldn’t have been
nurtured within the confines of a sheltered environment. Whether it was the Wade family or the Evans family raising you, it would
have been an arduous task, if not impossible, for you to become the person you are today. Perhaps your parents had the
foresight to anticipate your future development.”
Just then, Jack, unable to contain his curiosity, turned to Valentina and asked, “Mr. Wade, since your parents had already
dabbled in extraordinary powers or had some understanding of them, do you think there’s a connection between their knowledge
and the power you eventually acquired?”
As he posed the question, a chilling thought struck him. “Could it be that acquiring the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ wasn’t a mere stroke of
luck? If it wasn’t by chance, then what sort of causality led to you inheriting this power, twenty years after your parents passed
away?”
