The Charismatic Charlie Wade

In that moment, Charlie lost control of his emotions. He bowed his head, covered his face and cried out loud!
In his youth, Charlie’s parents were brutally taken from him. For years afterward, the weight of solitude and the burden of living
alone haunted him. Were it not for the unwavering care and guidance from Mrs. Lewis over the past decade, Charlie might have
succumbed to despair, veering toward a distorted path, or worse, ending his own life.
The discovery of the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ granted him the ability to unravel the hidden details of his parents’ demise. Learning that
his father orchestrated his safe upbringing in the orphanage intensified Charlie’s sense of shame.
But the revelation that the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ was his father’s bequest and that the destiny he unlocked was, in fact, his father’s
self-sacrifice, overwhelmed him with shame.
Adding to Charlie’s torment were the recent words of Peter. Cole described the act of stripping away one’s fate as the cruelest
thing he had ever witnessed.
As Charlie collapsed in tears, Peter placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. With relief, he said, “Young Master, don’t burden
yourself with guilt. This was your father’s deliberate choice. He understood that without sacrificing his life for you, both he and
you would face inevitable death. Through this sacrifice, though powerless, he provided you a chance to survive and defeat the
Warriors Den.”
Peter continued, “Your father’s decision now appears correct. With the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ in your possession, given time, you’ll
surely be able to vanquish Morgana and avenge your parents.”
Jagoan, still sobbing, nodded solemnly. At this moment, he realized the depth of his father’s trust in him. The destruction of the
Warriors Den and the defeat of Morgana were imprinted in his very bones since childhood.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Jagoan turned to Peter and asked, “Uncle Cole, were you there when my father bestowed his
destiny upon me?”
Peter nodded “Yes, your father asked me to rush from the United States to witness the process. He feared something might go
wrong during the destiny-stripping and he wanted me to take the jade pot, containing the ‘Apocalyptic Book,’ back to the United
States. It wasn’t until Master Exeor resolved your predicament that I brought it back to China.”
After a moment of hesitation, Jagoan inquired, “Can you tell me how the destiny is separated? Or describe the scene you
witnessed?”

Peter shook his head “Young Master, I’m not an expert and I haven’t grasped the contents of the ‘Apocalyptic Book Preface.’ I
won’t burden you with those details today or in the future. Look ahead and move forward, dwelling on the past will only haunt
you.”
Jagoan whispered, “I just want to know what my father went through back then. What did he experience?”
Understandingly, Peter responded, “I empathize with your curiosity, but dwelling on the past can become an inner demon. Even
for me, recalling those years is an unbearable burden. I ask for your forgiveness in not divulging those details.”
Jagoan, after a long pause, reluctantly nodded.
Changing the subject, Peter advised, “Young Master, I’ve hidden the Four Treasures of the Study in a secure location. Once you
leave, retrieve it promptly and bring it back to China.”
Jagoan asked, “Uncle Cole, where did you hide the Four Treasures of the Study?”
Peter smiled, “It’s hidden outside the Cole family’s manor in New Jersey, near New York. In the base of the male lion statue at
the entrance, there’s a concealed compartment holding the treasure. To open it, you just need a small crane or forklift to lift the
male lion’s body, revealing the hidden compartment.”
Jagoan, surprised, questioned, “Such a crucial item has always been at your doorstep?”
Peter nodded, explaining, “The Rothschild family has searched our properties countless times, but they never suspected the
stone lions at the entrance. My manor’s sixteen hidden compartments have remained untouched. The U.S., being sparsely
populated, ensures secrecy. Hiding it here guarantees maximum safety.”
Jagoan marveled at Peter’s audacity. Putting such a vital item at an unguarded entrance required immense courage.
Peter cautioned Jagoan, “Young Master, despite months passing, the Rothschild family may still be watching. With your strength,
though, I believe they haven’t discovered anything.”
Jagoan assured, “Don’t worry, Uncle Cole. I’ll bring the Treasure back to China promptly. After returning it to China intact, we’ll
release the news and force the Rothschild family to abandon their pursuit.”
Adding a final touch, Jagoan declared, “I won’t settle for them just giving up, I’ll tarnish their reputation. I’ll find a way to make
them personally release you and grant you freedom!”
