The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

“Morgana Mirren?” Viola’s eyes widened in astonishment. “The hero who shattered one of the great dynasties of

that era is a woman?”

“Yes,” Maria confirmed with a determined expression, her teeth gritted. “Not only is she a woman, but she is also

the most formidable individual in the world, a woman!”

Surprised, Viola asked, “But isn’t she your father’s younger brother’s sister? Hasn’t she lived for three or four

hundred years?”

Maria pondered for a moment and replied, “Morgana Mirren is one year younger than my father and twenty years

older than me. She is now four hundred years old.”

“Then she must have also taken the Eternal Green Pill?” Viola speculated.

“Of course,” Maria said, her voice filled with emotion. “The Eternal Green Pill was the shared treasure of my father

and Morgana. Originally, there was one pill and one set of cultivation techniques left for each of them. They were

meant to carry on the fight against the Warriors Den. My father kept them safe, hoping that one day, when the

opportunity arose, I could obtain the pills and exercises he left behind. It is said that there is a secret within them

that grants a thousand years of life. Morgana, severely injuring my father, desired to take away his ring and the

Eternal Green Pill. In a critical moment, the ring was sent to me by my father, along with his life-saving pill made

from his own blood…”

Maria paused, sighing deeply, before composing herself. “I suppose it’s better to start from the establishment of

the Warriors Den and explain everything in detail. Otherwise, it might be difficult for you to comprehend.”

Nodding eagerly, Viola replied, “Please, do tell me.”

Taking a sip of tea, Maria spoke eloquently, her words flowing smoothly. “My father, Lucius Clark, was born in the

year 1622 in the Gregorian calendar. Our ancestors initially served as officials in Old Aurous Hill, later relocating to

Eastcliff alongside the Emperor and his family…”

“However, during the late Ming Dynasty, when the eunuchs held power and turmoil plagued the land, the Clark

family’s status gradually declined. By the time my father reached adulthood and married my mother, we had lost

our family’s official position. There was a chance to revive the family business, but with an enemy army’s invasion,

my father joined the resistance, adopting the name Lucius Clark and co-founding the Warriors Den with Cedric

Mirren. They pledged to drive the Manchus out of our land. Despite being distantly related to the traitor William

Saint, my father felt no kinship with him. He was determined to fight against the Warriors Den and restore the Ming

Dynasty.”

“From then on, my father and mother traveled together, battling the opposing army. When I was born, my mother’s

health had already deteriorated due to the hardships. She passed away when I was less than a month old. Given

the intense war at the frontlines, my father sent me to my grandmother’s house in the southern province. I grew up

there.”

“In 1650, as the opposing army advanced south to attack Hillcrest, the Southern Ming army retreated and the

Warriors Den, fighting alongside the Southern Ming, suffered heavy losses. My father’s dear friend, Cedric Mirren,

died in the battle in Hillcrest that year.”

“Cedric entrusted his younger sister, Morgana, to my father before her death. However, at that time, my father and

others were cornered by the enemy with nowhere to run. Forced to find refuge, my father took Morgana to hide in

the Shiwan Mountain. They faced countless perils there, nearly losing their lives. Fortunately, they were saved by a

hermit monk residing in the mountains.”

“The monk, a Chinese like us, witnessed my father and Morgana being pursued by the Tartar soldiers and felt

compassion for their plight. He took them in as disciples and they stayed in the mountains,

cultivating their skills. In the year 1658 in the Gregorian calendar, the enemy army launched a multi- pronged

attack on the southern and southwest provinces…”

“However, their abilities were limited and facing a formidable enemy, along with the assistance of traitors like Will

Saint, who aided the enemy in oppressing the people, the Southern Ming suffered a major defeat in the southern

province the following year, the tragic event later known as the Southern Ming tragedy…”

“In the years that followed, my father and Morgana rallied righteous individuals who were determined to fight

against the enemy and restore the Ming Dynasty. In 1662, the traitor William Saint killed the Emperor in the

southern province. It was a devastating blow. The enemy seized control of all territories, leaving my father and

Morgana with no choice but to plan their escape to Taiwan, where they would join forces with others to continue the

fight against the Tartar armies.”

“However, upon returning to the Shiwan Mountain, in 1663, their Master sensed his impending demise. He made

arrangements for his own funeral and presented two Eternal Green Pills to my father and Morgana, hoping that one

day they could reclaim our land. My father and Morgana were devastated by the Emperor’s death and the loss of

their territories. In desperation, they decided to return to Shiwan Mountain, find their Master and continue

cultivating in seclusion for a few more years to avoid attention and strengthen their abilities.”

“However, in the second year of their return, 1663 in the Gregorian calendar, their Master, foreseeing his own

demise, arranged his funeral. He also entrusted my father and Morgana Mirren with the secret prescription for the

Millenium Return Pill. Then, he handed them the ring you hold in your hand. It was Morgana’s attempt to claim the

ring that led to the sudden attack on my father…”

“When my father was critically injured, the ring whisked him away to the southern province from Shiwan Mountain

and it was only after tricking me into consuming the Eternal Green Pill that he revealed everything to me.”

Viola was utterly stunned. No wonder the man on the spiritual throne was called Lucius Clark. He was a true

national hero who had never forgotten his original intentions for family and country. He stood firm against the

temptation of five hundred years of longevity. Such a character could only be described as a saint.

Realizing this, Viola couldn’t help but ask Maria, “So, Morgana Mirren knows that you have taken the Eternal Green

Pill and has been relentlessly pursuing you. Is it because of this ring?”

Maria nodded, her eyes filled with determination. “Yes, Morgana desires this ring above all else. Their Master once

informed my father that no matter how many Eternal Green Pills one consumes, it can only extend life up to five

hundred years. However, the Millenium Return Pill can prolong one’s lifespan to a thousand years! And the

prescription for that pill is likely hidden within this ring.”

Viola’s eyes widened in amazement. “So, there truly exists a pill in this world that can grant people thousands of

years of life?”

Maria smiled knowingly. “It does indeed. Let me tell you something fascinating. The Master was born in the first

year of Linde during the Tang Dynasty, precisely in the year 664 in the Gregorian calendar. And his death occurred

in 1663, exactly a thousand years later, with no additional years. He lived a full millennium!”

“The first year of Linde…” Viola muttered to himself, furrowing his brows. “Why does that year sound so familiar?”

With a gentle smile, Maria replied, “Perhaps you were exceptionally knowledgeable about history during your school

days?”

Viola shook his head, a realization dawning upon him. “No… The first year of Linde I feel like I’ve recently come

across that time point.”

Suddenly, it struck him, and he asked excitedly, “Miss Clark, do you think… that Master’s name was Morvel Bazin?”
