The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Initially, Gideon assumed that Nathalia’s raised middle finger was a deliberate provocation. However, when his eyes

fell upon the ring, his pupils contracted in an instant. Though he had never laid eyes on this ring before, he had

heard the British Lord describe it in vivid detail. The Lord had spoken of a bronze-colored ring, radiating a delicate

sheen, devoid of any ornate embellishments. Its width measured about two centimeters, equivalent to

approximately 0.66 inches, a size fitting for an average adult male.

All these characteristics aligned perfectly with the ring adorning Nathalia’s hand.

Moreover, the mention of Maria Clark and her ring by Jack had been entirely voluntary. This led Gideon to conclude

that the ring before him was indeed the coveted treasure the British Lord had fervently pursued.

According to the British Lord, this ring concealed a profound mystery. Unraveling its secrets would not only enhance

one’s cultivation, but grant eternal life as well. As for how to unlock this enigma, only the hero of the entire world

might possess such knowledge, with even Maria Clark herself potentially unaware.

The British Lord had reiterated countless times that whoever obtained this ring would be hailed as the paramount

hero of the Warriors Den. The Lord would generously impart his lifelong wisdom and teachings without reservation,

bestowing upon them the opportunity to delve into the mysteries contained within the ring.

Hence, for Gideon, whether it meant eliminating Bruce’s son or personally delivering Maria Clark to the Lord, none

of these actions held as much significance as reclaiming the ring.

With this in mind, Gideon wasted no time in declaring, “Boy! Hand over the ring and I can grant you and your

ancestors a painless journey on the path of death. This is the greatest act of kindness I can bestow upon you!”

Albert, however, retorted, “Old dog, if you truthfully reveal the exact details of the Warriors Den, I might consider

sparing you. That, my friend, is the greatest kindness I can offer you!”

Gideon’s face darkened and he bellowed, “Boy, you’re asking for death!”

In an instant, he summoned a wooden sword, skillfully manipulating it to unleash a swift strike aimed directly at

Morten.

Aware of Gideon’s formidable strength, Nathalia realized that engaging in a life-or-death battle within the villa would

endanger everyone present. The aftermath of a single spell could reduce them all to ashes.

Swiftly stepping back to evade the invisible blade, Nathalia addressed Gideon, “If you desire the ring, follow me

outside to a secluded location. If you win, you can claim both my life and the ring as your own. However, should you

lose, rest assured that your head will no longer remain intact!”

Observing that Nathalia’s agility made it nearly impossible to strike him with his sword, Gideon temporarily

retracted his blade and scoffed, “Boy, do you think we’re playing a game of cat and mouse? Let me make one thing

clear, if you don’t obediently hand over the ring, I will commence by killing your grandparents and their entire

lineage!”

Nathalia’s brow furrowed slightly, caught off guard by Gideon’s refusal to be deceived. Scanning his surroundings,

he spoke with an icy edge to his voice, “After my parent’s tragic demise, do you know who accompanied me on this

grief-stricken journey? Besides the person I despise the most, can you guess which two groups of people followed

him?”

Perplexed, Gideon inquired, “Which two groups are you referring to?”

Nathalia’s tone turned somber as he replied, “One of them belongs to my paternal grandfather’s family.”

Fixing his gaze upon his tearful grandfather, he continued, his voice dripping with coldness, “The other belongs to

my maternal grandfather’s family. Yes, my grandparent’s families!”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Evan’s expression grew desolate, his face marred by shame and regret.

At that moment, Gideon disdainfully remarked, “Boy, don’t play games with me here. They are your close relatives.

How could you harbor hatred towards them?”

Nathalia retorted with a frigid tone, “Close relatives, you say? Do you know where I’ve spent the past twenty years

since losing my parents?”

Gideon furrowed his brow and queried, “Where have you been, then?”

At this pivotal moment, the Evans family fixed their gaze upon Albert, eager to uncover the truth of his past twenty

years. What had transpired? Where had he been?

Nathalia pointed resolutely at the ground and exclaimed, “For the past twenty years, I have been here, in Aurous

Hill! This city has been my home for two decades!”

“How is that even possible?” Gideon furrowed his brow and questioned, “After your parent’s demise, not only were

they searching for you, but we were as well. We scoured every corner of Aurous Hill, yet we found no trace of your

existence!”

Nathalia replied with a knowing smile, “You couldn’t find me because my father had already made arrangements

for me. After the incident, I was placed in an orphanage, completely isolated from the outside world.”

The Evans family, too, was filled with astonishment upon hearing this revelation. Although they had entertained

suspicions regarding the orphanage just moments ago, they found it difficult to fathom that Nathalia had resided in

Aurous Hill all this time without venturing beyond its borders.

Gideon stood there momentarily stunned, unable to contain his sigh. “Bruce Wade, you truly possess the cunning

and wisdom of a dragon and a phoenix among men. Even the British Lord never anticipated this turn of events…

But let me make it clear to you, no matter what the significance of it may be, I want that ring on your hand.

Surrender the ring and I can grant you a fleeting moment of happiness!”

Nathalia paid him no mind, responding with a gentle smile, “Under the protection of kind-hearted people, I have

lived a content life in Aurous Hill for twenty years. No matter how arduous or wearisome it became, I never sought

solace from either the Wade family or the Evans family. Do you know why?”

Curiosity etched across his face, Gideon asked, “Why?”

Nathalia replied with an air of indifference, “It’s because I harbor an unyielding hatred toward them! Even now, I

cannot forgive them for betraying and abandoning my parents.”

Gideon inquired, “If you hate them so much, why do you continue to save them again and again?”

Nathalia wore a smile as he spoke, “Saving them was merely a coincidence. That day in New York, you must be

aware that it was Stefanie’s concert. The entire Evans family attended the event, providing you with the perfect

opportunity.”

Gideon narrowed his eyes, studying Nathalia intently. Though he hadn’t been directly involved in the incident, he

was well-informed about the details. It was the informant planted by the Warriors Den within the Evans family who

suddenly leaked the news of their collective action. Seizing the moment, the British Lord dispatched his assassins to

the concert venue, intent on eliminating them. Yet, no news surfaced regarding the dispatched assassins.

Nathalia continued, “Stefanie hails from Eastcliff. Her father, Orrin, was a sworn brother to my father. Hence, a

betrothal was arranged between Stefanie and me during our youth. Technically speaking, she is the fiance my

parents had arranged for me before their tragic demise. The reason I appeared at the

concert that day was to show support for Stefanie. Coincidentally, I happened to be seated next to the Evans family.

I didn’t disclose my true intention of saving them, but instead posed as one seeking to capture the assassins. After

all, if it hadn’t been for those assassins, how would I have acquired specific information about the Warriors Den?”

Nathalia added, “As for today, to be frank, my primary purpose for coming here is not to save lives, but to end

yours.”

Gideon’s eyes turned icy. “You think you can kill me?”

With a smile playing on his lips, Nathalia replied, “Not only will I kill you, but I will also eliminate the remaining two

Marshals of the Warriors Den. Then, I will reduce that despicable British Lord to nothing but shattered remains! You,

my friend, are merely a stepping stone on my path to revenge!”

Gideon sneered maliciously, “If that’s the case, I’ll wait until after I’ve dealt with your grandparent’s family and then

we can resume our competition.”

Nathalia sneered back and retorted, “If you dare to come, come now. If you hesitate, I’ll be on my way.”

With a mischievous smile, Nathalia added, “Oh, by the way, I’ve made a mental note of your appearance today. If

you ever wish to find me again, I’m afraid it won’t be as simple as you might think! Or perhaps, in the future, I’ll be

the one to find you! The choice is yours!”

Having said that, Nathalia swiftly turned around, soaring away at a tremendous speed without a single glance back.

He wasn’t relying on whether Gideon would blindly give chase, but rather, he possessed absolute certainty that

Gideon would immediately pursue him without a moment’s hesitation!

His confidence stemmed from the fact that during their previous encounter, Nathalia deliberately showcased his

lightning-fast agility while evading Gideon’s sword. He believed that Gideon understood

that catching up with him would prove to be no easy feat. If Gideon wasted not even half a second and mustered all

his strength, there might still be a 50% chance of catching up. However, even a mere distraction of a single second

would render it utterly impossible to close the gap.

Furthermore, Nathalia wasn’t an easy target to eliminate, for he had many lives to take. Even if the Evans family

posed no threat, activating the magical weapon to unleash lightning would require time. It would take at least ten

seconds to activate enough lightning and claim a single life. Thus, Nathalia knew he had to choose his targets

wisely.

As expected, the outcome unfolded exactly as Nathalia had anticipated!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Gideon dashed forward, his pursuit unyielding and resolute.

To him, the lives of the Evans family paled in comparison to the allure of that ring. It mattered little what fate

awaited the Evans family, he believed they were backed into a corner. With Nathalia hunted down and the ring

secured, their escape would be futile.

Furthermore, with no one left to shield them, the Evans family would be at his mercy. Once Nathalia met his

demise, he could eliminate him once more and eradicate every member of the Evans family.

By doing so, he would not only obtain the coveted ring but also fulfill all three tasks bestowed upon him by the Lord

in one fell swoop.

Yet, the thought of letting Nathalia slip away presented an unbearable loss. It would not only expose his own identity

but also squander an exceptional opportunity to obtain the ring.

There was no need for him to ponder whether to give chase or strategize on diverting the tiger from the mountain.

He knew that pursuing Nathalia with unwavering determination was his sole choice.
