Eliam did not answer Charlie’s question, but he looked at Charlie and said very seriously, “Charlie, do you know why your parents returned to Oskia back then?”
Charlie said, “I heard that it was my father who wanted to come back to revitalize the Wade family. As for my mother, she probably accompanied my father back to Oskia because she was fulfilling her obligations as a wife after marrying him.”
Eliam smiled and said, “Look, this is your father’s brilliance. If he doesn’t want others to see through his true purpose, no one in this world would be able to see through him.”
Charlie frowned and asked, “Uncle Eliam, what do you mean? According to what you’ve said, you mean that my parents actually had a hidden agenda when they returned to Oskia back then?”
Eliam smiled mysteriously and said to Charlie, “Curtis and Ashley are a pair of geniuses in the business field, and in everyone’s eyes, they are the perfect couple in the financial industry. In fact, from the time I met your father, he’s a person who was very interested in martial arts and traditional Oskian culture. He was also very interested in superstitions as well as metaphysics that are spurned by the high-level intellectuals.”
“As for me, I happened to have practiced a little bit of martial arts when I was a child, and I also grew up in the Harker family, which is also a martial arts family. Although I’ve neglected my martial arts cultivation for many years, I still have some knowledge of it, so even though there’s an age gap between your father and I, we could still get along with each other very well.”
“Although your father had no talent in martial arts himself, he had been researching the roots and underlying logic of martial arts. The same goes for your mother. They even spent a lot of manpower, resources, and money to investigate the origins of martial arts and metaphysics all around the world.”
Charlie frowned and said, “It seems as if I’ve never had such an impression of my father…”
