Chapter 1924

Orrin, in the late stages of pancreatic cancer, unexpectedly recovered. It was as if a decade had been reversed. Eastcliff's upper class clamored to know the reason behind his miraculous recovery. Their investigations, however, yielded nothing.

Then, Charlie Wade's startling revelation prompted Cynthia's horrified question: "This has something to do with you?!"

Charlie Wade coldly snorted: "Has something to do with me? I, Charlie Wade, did it!"

Even Donald was stunned speechless.

The Webb family mourned the Eight Great Heavenly Kings' deaths, unaware of the cause. Now, Donald finally understood. The Heavenly Kings had all perished at Charlie Wade's hands. He silently agonized: "How powerful is this Charlie Wade?!"

Cynthia was equally shocked. Donald was unaware of Charlie Wade's actions in Japan, but Cynthia was. Three major Japanese families were decimated almost overnight; one completely destroyed, another half-destroyed, leaving only the Ito family, whose patriarch, Ito Yuhiko, lost his legs. A powerful master, responsible for the slaughter of countless ninjas and the rescue of Zara and Fitz, stood behind it all. Could it be Charlie Wade?!

Charlie Wade gestured toward Donald, asking Cynthia, "Do you know Donald's son, Kian? He was in Aurous Hill recently, forced to eat excrement hourly, like some kind of demon?"

Donald's face went pale. Cynthia was equally shocked.

Although the Webb family held little renown in Eastcliff, Kian, Donald's second son, was infamous. His exploits were widely circulated on short-video platforms, making him a national sensation. Top experts from various prominent families analyzed his condition, concluding that he was subject to powerful psychological manipulation.

Cynthia thought: "Could Charlie Wade have done that too?!"

Donald had completely collapsed. He choked out, suppressing his anger: "Master Wade! My youngest son has always been well-behaved! He simply studied peacefully in Aurous Hill and did nothing wrong. Why did you harm him so?!"

Charlie Wade glared at Donald, delivered a stinging slap, and thundered: "Your son is a depraved monster who takes pleasure in exploiting and ruining girls!"

"He not only manipulates them but uses psychological coercion to force them to commit suicide!"

"Such animalistic behavior demands punishment!"

"And you have the audacity to claim your beastly son is well-behaved and innocent?!"

"Who gave you the courage?!"
