The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

The thunderous explosion reverberated through the sky, jolting the entire city of Aurous Hill from its slumber. In an

instant, the blast spread far and wide, shattering the tranquility of the night.

Within the valley where the explosion occurred, the once lush vegetation was decimated, leaving behind a hollow

void that stretched hundreds of meters in radius. It was as if nature itself had been consumed by the destructive

force.

Gideon, who stood at the epicenter of the explosion, had been obliterated entirely. Not a trace of his existence

remained—no remnants, no residue. The notion of a soul departing from the body and finding a new lease on life

was nothing but a ruse, a deceitful ploy to lure them into an honorable death.

In his final moments, Gideon discovered a truth he never could have fathomed. The formation left by the British

Lord in their Soul Palace thirty years ago wasn’t a sanctuary for the soul, but rather a potent self-destructive array

—a weapon of mass annihilation.

What he had perceived as a glimmer of hope for rebirth turned out to be nothing more than a means to perish

alongside his enemies.

Just as the explosion shook the earth, Joe, who stood mere meters away from Gideon, vanished without a trace. All

that remained on the ground were tattered shreds of his clothing and minuscule fragments, reduced to the size of

fingernails. These fragments were once part of Amber’s Soul Piercing Blade.

Even his Thunderbolt, crafted from lightning-struck wood, had been reduced to a charred mass of black ash by the

cataclysmic blast.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the scorched circle, a severely injured woman struggled to crawl forward. She was

Zeba.

Although Zeba had managed to escape the devastating impact of the explosion, her condition was far from

promising. Overwhelmed by the shockwave, she had been sent hurtling through the air, her body battered and

broken. Her meridians were severed, bones shattered, and internal organs grievously wounded. While she clung to

life, her survival remained uncertain.

Enduring excruciating pain, Zeba crawled onward, panting heavily, her curses flowing uncontrollably in hushed

tones. “Damn that Lord… after all these years… deceiving us,” she muttered. “After unlocking the Soul Palace, how

could… how could there be such a fantastical notion as the death of the body and the rebirth of the soul? It’s all a

lie… a terrible lie! That despicable scoundrel… he… he turned the four of us… into mere human bombs… to

detonate when we face a life-or-death crisis… We were led to believe that in the face of mortal danger, we could

leave behind a trace of our souls, seize new bodies, and reclaim our lives… but it was all a sham…”

“The true purpose of that bastard was to ensure that, in dire circumstances, we would open the Soul Palace,

sacrificing ourselves alongside our enemies… this scheme is diabolically brilliant… For… the enemy capable of

driving us to the brink of destruction would undoubtedly pose an immense threat to that bastard and the entire

Warriors Den…”

“And with this manipulation of the Soul Palace, he could ensure that the four of us would perish alongside our

enemies without hesitation, utilizing death as the ultimate solution to all hidden perils… It’s utterly sinister!”

Her mind filled with these thoughts, Zeba couldn’t help but murmur, “For many years, the four of us served you

faithfully… yet you never regarded us as human beings. What difference is there?”

Gritting her teeth, she pushed through the agony, determined to crawl farther into the mountain’s depths.

…

Let’s rewind time by three minutes.

The Elys-Champ Spa Hotel, not far from the explosion site.

The Evans family had been relocated to a mid-level villa by Don Albert as a precautionary measure. Thunder roared

in the distance, stirring worry and anxiety among the entire family. Samuel Evans, the elderly patriarch, paced

restlessly in the room, unable to find a moment’s respite.

Observing his distress, Don Albert stepped forward to offer comfort. “Worry not, old man. Master Wade possesses

immeasurable power. The thunder you heard must be his summoned celestial lightning. It’s highly likely that the

assailant has been reduced to ashes by Master Wade’s might!”

Samuel Evans muttered incredulously, “You mean Amber can summon thunder?!”

“Indeed!” Don Albert nodded enthusiastically, his expression awash with fascination. “I’ve had the privilege of

witnessing Master Wade’s celestial lightning a few times. When the thunder descends, the sky becomes cloaked in

dark clouds, lightning crackles through the firmament, and the earth trembles beneath the weight of thunderous

booms. It’s as if a god has descended upon us—a spectacle of unmatched grandeur!”

The Evans family, dumbfounded by this revelation, was left speechless. Samuel Evans, in particular, wore a look of

disbelief. “How can this be possible…”

Chuckling knowingly, Don Albert continued, “Ah, old man, your skepticism arises from a lack of understanding. The

art of summoning celestial thunder is intricately tied to formations. From my perspective, formations are akin to

atomic energy. Imagine telling someone from a bygone era that a small piece of radioactive material could level an

entire city with an atomic bomb—they would find it inconceivable.”

Samuel Evans struggled to comprehend Don Albert’s explanation, but the elderly lady beside him couldn’t conceal

her worry. Through tear-filled eyes, she pleaded, “I’m concerned for Amber’s safety, Don Albert. Could you arrange

a helicopter to rush over there, just in case he requires assistance? We could offer our support…”

Don Albert hastily responded, “Dear lady, Master Wade has explicitly instructed that once you were safely

evacuated, no one should interfere. We must wait here patiently for his return.”

With that said, he added, “To be honest, there are hundreds of formidable warriors stationed at the hot spring hotel

near the mountain’s base. Even they wouldn’t be able to aid Master Wade, let alone us.”

Tears welling in her eyes, she sobbed, “I fear something untoward might befall Amber once again. These past

twenty years have been far too arduous for him. As his grandmother, I can’t bear the thought of him in harm’s

way…”

Samuel Evans gently patted her back, comforting her, “Worry not, my dear. Amber has become a force to be

reckoned with, far surpassing our own capabilities. Even if we wished to help him, we would be of little use. Let us

heed Amber’s instructions and wait here patiently!”

As soon as his words trailed off, an earth-shattering explosion shattered the tranquility outside the villa, causing the

laminated tempered glass to disintegrate in an instant.

Instinctively, everyone dropped to the ground. In the aftermath of the explosion, the elderly lady felt an

excruciating pain in her chest and tearfully inquired, “What just happened? Is Amber… Is Amber safe?”

Don Albert’s heart skipped a beat, panic seizing him. He had personally witnessed Amber summon celestial

thunder, and he knew that the colossal blast they had just experienced was not the product of celestial lightning.

Without hesitation, he shouted, “I’ll go check!”

With those words, he rushed out the door in a frenzy, leaping into the awaiting helicopter parked in the courtyard.

Addressing the anxious pilot, he urgently pleaded, “Hurry, take off!”

At that moment, a figure darted toward them. It was Jack, who quickly climbed aboard the helicopter. He blurted

out, “Don Albert, I’ll accompany you!”

Don Albert, his mind racing, replied, “Inspector Lee, Master Wade instructed me to ensure the safety of you and the

Evans family. It’s best for you to remain here!”

Jack shook his head resolutely. “Don’t forget, Don Albert, I am a police officer. When it comes to investigating a

crime scene, no one is more proficient than I am.”

After a brief pause, Don Albert relented, saying, “Very well, Inspector Lee. You can join me.”

Turning to the pilot, he urged, “Take off!”

The helicopter revved its engines, ascending into the night sky with Don Albert and Jack aboard, hurtling toward

Willow Estates.

As they approached the skies above the villa, Don Albert spotted a peculiar circular void in the distance, illuminated

by the moon’s gentle glow.

Pointing in its direction, he instructed the pilot, “Quickly, fly there!”

The pilot skillfully maneuvered the helicopter toward the enigmatic valley at great speed. As they drew nearer, Don

Albert and Jack beheld a desolate sight—a scorched earth stretching out from the circular void, with surrounding

vegetation cascading outward.

Drawing from the intensity of the previous explosion, the pair deduced that the circular void resulted from that

cataclysmic event, its epicenter lying at the heart of the circle.

An ominous premonition gripped Don Albert’s heart as he anxiously commanded the pilot, “Descend!”

Jack interjected, “It might be better to avoid landing directly at the center. We don’t want the helicopter’s strong

gusts of wind to obliterate any potential clues on the ground.”

Nodding in agreement, Don Albert signaled the pilot, “Land on the edge instead.”

The pilot skillfully maneuvered the helicopter, setting it down on the outskirts of the circular void.

Jack silently prayed that they wouldn’t disturb any vital evidence pertaining to the explosion’s origin. Unfortunately,

fate had a different plan. The spot chosen by Don Albert coincided with the area where Zeba had crawled away

from the incident. The helicopter’s gusts of wind swiftly erased any traces left by her passage.

Filled with anxiety, Don Albert hastily disembarked from the helicopter before it had even come to a full stop. Jack

followed suit, leaping onto the hardened ground beside him.

They swiftly made their way toward the explosion’s epicenter, where Don Albert’s eyes widened in horror. The

ground at the center had been scorched and cracked, a testament to the searing heat unleashed by the blast.

On the ground, a human-shaped silhouette, blackened and imprinted onto the scorched earth, caught Don Albert’s

attention. Whether it was the residual mark of a body or a consequence of the explosion, he couldn’t discern.

In a daze, Don Albert noticed a few glimmering fragments strewn across the ground. Picking them up, he realized

they were shell fragments or other remnants. And then it hit him—these fragments bore a striking resemblance to

the giant clam Amber had once acquired through a highly publicized auction in Aurous Hill. It had fetched a

staggering sum, generating quite a stir in the city.

An overwhelming sense of despair engulfed Don Albert as he connected the dots. Jack, witnessing the change in his

demeanor, anxiously inquired, “What are those?”

In a bewildered state, Don Albert replied, “These… these must belong to Master Wade…”
