The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Jagoan was aware that Angela’s presence in Aurous Hill University was likely connected to him, but he had to

maintain his façade of ignorance.

He instinctively responded, “While this university may not be on par with Hong Kong University, it still holds a good

reputation overall.”

Angela nodded in agreement, glancing at him as she stammered, “Y-Yes, I think so too…”

Just as Maria began to regain her composure, rubbing her temples, she noticed Angela’s interaction with Jagoan.

Curiosity evident in her voice, she asked, “Sister Angela, do you know this gentleman?”

Angela hastily replied, “Yes… We’re friends.”

Maria expressed her surprise, exclaiming, “What a coincidence!”

Angela nodded slightly, her tone somewhat awkward, “Yes… It’s a coincidence.”

Maria turned her attention to Jagoan, addressing him, “Hello, my name is Cathy Clark. May I know your name?”

Jagoan responded casually, “My name is Jagoan Wade…”

With a smile, Maria greeted him, “Hello, Jagoan…”

Jagoan smiled politely in response, though inwardly he couldn’t help but think, “It seems that Maria probably

doesn’t remember me.”

However, now that Angela was present, he knew he couldn’t continue questioning Maria.

Instead, he suggested, “Oh, by the way, my family is waiting for me. Let’s plan a convenient time for a meal. I’ll

treat you both.”

Angela, feeling a bit embarrassed after being exposed, quickly agreed, “I’m available in the evening.”

“In that case…” Jagoan was silent for a while before inquired, “What time do you finish work?”

Angela responded, “Around six o’clock.”

“Great,” Jagoan confirmed, nodding. “I’ll pick you up at six?”

Despite feeling a bit flustered, Angela nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll be waiting at the entrance. We can call and

meet up.”

Knowing that he couldn’t continue his investigation with Angela present, Jagoan excused himself, saying, “Alright,

you two continue talking. I need to get going.”

After bidding farewell to Angela, Jagoan’s first priority was to call Isaac.

While Isaac was still at Elys-Champ Hot Springs, pondering over how to achieve internal peeping, his concentration

was disrupted by Jagoan’s call. Calmly excusing himself from the training ground, he retreated to an empty room

before answering.

With a respectful tone, he greeted, “Master!”

Jagoan wasted no time and went straight to the point. “Mr. Cameron, I need you to investigate the entry records of

a Malaysian tycoon named Larry Cole. Once you have that information, look into the background of everyone who

entered the country with him.”

Isaac promptly replied, “Certainly, Young Master. Give me a moment, I will assign someone to investigate.”

A few minutes later, Isaac sent a comprehensive report to Jagoan. It included the date of Larry’s entry into the

country, as well as the details of all the individuals who accompanied him from Malaysia and completed the entry

formalities in Aurous Hill.

Among the listed names was Cathy Clark. Furthermore, they had been in the country for a considerable period of

time. It appeared that Maria had told the truth. She had indeed come to Aurous Hill with Larry.

In addition, Larry had already established a business and a solid foundation in Aurous Hill. It was evident that the

university had received his patronage. Maria’s plan to live a secluded life in the city while attending university, as

arranged by Larry, seemed entirely logical.

Jagoan’s growing conviction that Maria had not lied to him eased his concerns to a great extent. Moreover, he had

used a more potent surge of aura to implant a psychological suggestion in Maria today. With his formidable aura

overpowering her lack of it, he was confident that Maria had no chance of resisting his suggestion. As a result,

Jagoan’s doubts about Maria had dwindled to a mere ten or twenty percent.

Yet, despite his belief that Maria was unaware of his true identity, Jagoan couldn’t help but furrowed his brow.

Although he was inclined to see Maria’s arrival in Aurous Hill as a mere coincidence, a faint worry lingered within

him. The last time he had encountered Maria, the Warriors Den had been relentlessly pursuing her.

Now that she was here in Aurous Hill, if the Warriors Den obtained any clues regarding her whereabouts, they

would undoubtedly learn from their past mistakes and send their most formidable experts to capture her.

Furthermore, with his grandparents also present in Aurous Hill, their family became another crucial target for the

Warriors Den.

Looking at the situation from this perspective, both of the Warriors Den’s primary objectives were now in Aurous

Hill, greatly increasing the likelihood of the organization making a move on the city.

As the meeting of the Warriors Den progressed, with most members remaining silent and only three marshals

remaining, Jagoan couldn’t shake off his worry that one of the marshals might come to Aurous Hill in the near

future.

Back in Cyprus, he could rely on Jagoan to set up an ambush, armed with near-defense guns to thwart the

marshal’s advance. But in Aurous Hill, he lacked the resources and opportunity to execute a similar plan. If the

marshals of the Warriors Den truly arrived in Aurous Hill, and not just for Maria, but also to harm his grandparents

and their family, Jagoan couldn’t be certain if he had the strength to protect them.

What’s more, the situation was further complicated by the absence of an early warning system in Aurous Hill. If the

enemy did come, Jagoan would have difficulty knowing in advance, making it harder for him to stay a step ahead.

These thoughts weighed heavily on Jagoan’s mind, burdening him with a sense of urgency he had never

experienced before. The weight of impending danger bore down on him, leaving him feeling helpless and uncertain

about how to proceed.

For lunch, Jagoan found no appetite, unable to focus on food.

After dinner, once he had dropped off Claudia, Lisa, and Mrs. Lewis, he drove to the riverside and parked the car in

a vacant space. Sitting by the riverside, he spent the entire afternoon lost in contemplation.

The encounter with Maria earlier had ignited a newfound urgency within Jagoan. It was a sensation of an impending

enemy, a foreboding presence closing in. Yet, he remained devoid of a clear strategy to

confront this imminent threat.

***

At 6 pm, Jagoan drove to the university, ready to meet Angela.

Although Angela arrived at the school by car, she left it parked on campus and had applied some special makeup

before leaving. She seemed a bit cautious due to their unexpected encounter earlier in the day.

As they met, Jagoan asked, “Miss Angela, what kind of cuisine would you prefer for dinner tonight?”

Angela replied, “Something light would be great. Since coming to Aurous Hill, the food has always been spicy and

salty. I’m not used to it…”

Jagoan pondered for a moment, then casually suggested, “If you prefer lighter options, how about trying Hong

Kong-style cuisine?”

Without hesitation, Angela agreed, saying, “Sure, I’ll trust your recommendation.”

With that, Jagoan drove Angela to the entrance of a Japanese grocery store. As they stepped inside, the sound of

the bell hanging on the door resonated with a gentle tinkling, causing Jagoan to momentarily pause.

In that moment, facing the current situation, a solution unexpectedly dawned on him.
