Chapter 5445

Violet had originally planned to meet Maria at Zilian Villa after having dinner with his grandparents.
Consequently, he wasn’t in a rush to inquire about the Divine Dragon’s fate from her. Deep in his heart,
he was still reeling from the shock of his parent’s fate.

Violet’s perception of his parents underwent a radical transformation when his uncle disclosed that they
had studied something similar to the prologue of the Apocalyptic Book more than two decades ago.

He had never imagined that his parents were deeply involved in cultivation. Even more surprising was
the revelation that they had obtained the prologue of the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ more than two decades
ago.

For Stefan, this revelation was like a nuclear bomb exploding in his mind!

“My father accidentally got the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic Book,’ whereas I chanced upon the
‘Apocalyptic Book’ itself twenty years later at Jasmine’s antique store. Is it truly just a coincidence? Or
is there a hidden connection that spans across these two events?”

As he pondered these questions, a chill ran down Violet’s spine.

After his parent’s passing, he unknowingly ventured down the path they had left behind. Was this some
divine arrangement for him to inherit their legacy? But then, why hadn’t his parents said a word about it
back then?

Unable to contain his doubts, he turned to Desmond and asked, “Uncle, did my parents mention
crossing paths with someone or some organization?”

Desmond replied, “About a year before your mother passed away, when she took you back to the
United States to visit your grandparents, she told me that she and your father had offended a very
ancient organization while exploring a significant matter.”



Curiously, Violet inquired, “What is this organization called?”

Just as Desmond was about to respond, the wise old man, Samuel Evans, interjected, “Stefan, your
mother had already revealed that the group your parents encountered was none other than the
notorious Warrior Den. They’ve existed since the end of the Ming Dynasty and remain a powerful force
today. At the time, I didn’t take it too seriously, as I thought organizations like the Quin Gang, which
have histories spanning hundreds of years, are merely famous but lack substantial power. Furthermore,
your mother mentioned that the leader of the Warrior Den might have lived for over 300 years, which I
dismissed as nonsense and couldn’t shake off my skepticism.”

The old man’s voice carried a tone of deep regret, “If only I had paid more heed to your mother’s
words, perhaps things would have unfolded differently.”

Desmond sighed, “You’re right… Back then, we didn’t take my sister’s words seriously. We assumed
she was just following her husband into something eccentric and didn’t think her words could turn out to
be true.”

Violet observed the deep remorse on the old man’s face and felt some of his earlier grievances
dissipate. He consoled him, “Grandpa, there’s no need to blame yourself. Even with the combined
strength of the Evans family, confronting the Warrior Den could have resulted in disaster over 20 years
ago. The Warriors Den’s power exceeds your imagination and they could have easily dealt with the
Evans family.”

The old man sighed, acknowledging, “I experienced their strength firsthand during my last visit to New
York. I never would have thought that they had secretly inserted an undercover agent into our midst for
such an extended period, orchestrating events such as weddings and births in such a calculated
manner that it would arouse no suspicion whatsoever. When I think about it now, it sends shivers down
my spine. Who spends that much time planning a conspiracy? Moreover, they already have eyes and
ears everywhere, making it difficult for us to remain hidden while they’ve been planning all this time.”



Violet added seriously, “I don’t understand either. With their strength, they could have easily wiped out
the Evans family by sending one or two real Masters. But they haven’t taken action in over two
decades. I can’t fathom why they suddenly chose to attack the Evans family recently.”

His second uncle, Marcus, chimed in, “Perhaps the Evans family possesses something they desire?
Something they’ve been seeking all this time?”

The old man inquired, “What could that be?”

Marcus shook his head, “Dad, I don’t know what it could be. I’m just throwing out possibilities to see if
they resonate with anyone.”

Samuel Evans paused, his brows furrowing in deep thought.

After a moment of reflection, he spoke with a sense of intrigue, “As my condition worsened, the details
of what happened after your sister’s death eluded me. However, the days leading up to that moment
have started to resurface in my memory with increasing clarity. I carefully recollected everything, from
when your sister followed your brother-in-law to China until the year she passed away, every single
detail. In those years, your sister mostly resided in China, but she would return with Violet to visit us
during the holidays. During this time, your sister never mentioned anything strange nor entrusted us
with anything. It was only during her final visit to the United States, one year before her death, that she
revealed information about the Warrior Den. But she didn’t leave us anything…. I can’t understand why
the Warrior Den has been observing us for two decades. What are they looking for?”

Violet’s third uncle, Martel, had been quiet for a while before voicing his doubts, “Dad, could it be that
they believed my sister left something for us, but after two decades, they finally realized she hadn’t left
them anything valuable, so they became enraged and wanted to kill us?”

After contemplating for a moment, Samuel Evans replied, “Your theory does make sense. However, I
don’t think they’d be that foolish. They are incredibly powerful and spending twenty years just to



confirm such a trivial matter seems illogical. There must be a motive behind their investment of time
and energy.”

Martel nodded in agreement, “Dad, what you say is true…”

Samuel Evans then turned to Jack, the renowned detective and asked, “Jack, what’s your take on this
matter?”

Jack shared his insights, “Based on my years of experience in solving crimes, a major case like this
would require significant preparation time. Uncle Evans, your analogy earlier about someone staring at
an ant for twenty years just to pass the time is highly unlikely. If someone spends twenty years studying
ants, they must be doing so to find a way to exterminate them completely. Hence, I agree with you that
there must be a significant motive behind the Warrior Den’s actions.”

Jack continued, “As for why they’re acting now, I believe there are two possibilities. First, they’ve
planned to execute their real purpose at this moment. Second, external factors may have forced them
to take action prematurely.”

Deep in thought, Violet asked Desmond, “Uncle, have you read the Apocalyptic Book Preface?”

Desmond shook his head, admitting, “I was never interested in such matters, so I paid no attention.”

Violet inquired further, “Do you have any idea where this book went?”

Desmond replied, “I don’t know. After your parents studied that book, they returned to China and I have
no idea where it went.”

Violet nodded, realizing that his parent’s departure from the United States was not as he had assumed.
Previously, he had thought that his father’s decision to return to Eastcliff was due to pressure from his
grandfather. However, it appeared that his parents had stumbled upon the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic



Book’ in the United States, which compelled them to embark on a journey back to China to delve into
the depths of the ‘Apocalyptic Book’.

The secret of longevity that Gideon mentioned before his death might be related to the clues found in
the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic Book’.

As this realization dawned upon him, Violet suddenly recalled a crucial detail. Turning to Samuel
Evans, he inquired, “By the way, Grandpa, before my parents left Eastcliff for Aurous Hill, they had
some disputes with the Rothschild family, right? Do you know anything about it?”

Samuel Evans confirmed, “Yes, your father did have some issues with the Rothschild family back then.
According to rumors, the Rothschild family wanted to establish a foothold in China and expand their
interests there. They were openly and covertly competing with several prominent Chinese families.
Your father rallied these families together and declared war on the Rothschild family. After several
confrontations, the Rothschild family eventually withdrew from China, but they held a grudge against
your father.”

Violet frowned, saying, “You mentioned the widely rumored version. But what was the actual situation?”

Samuel Evans sighed and said, “The actual situation is quite complex. From what I know, the
Rothschild family didn’t initially intend to target those prominent Chinese families. They had been
seeking joint ventures and even showed favor to your father. However…”

He hesitated before continuing, “Your father accused them of financial intrusion right from the start,
amassing considerable resources to strike them a heavy blow. Later, the head of the Rothschild
family’s Asia-Pacific division visited him in Eastcliff, but your father refused to negotiate and struck him
instead. The head of the division returned to the United States with a red face and the Rothschild family
lodged a complaint against your father.”



Violet was taken aback, blurting out, “It doesn’t sound like my father’s style to resort to violence when
negotiations don’t go well.”

Samuel Evans nodded, “You’re right. It wasn’t like your father to resort to physical aggression. But he
indeed slapped the other person.”

Violet was even more puzzled, muttering, “In my memory, my dad was always a gentleman. Why would
he get into a physical altercation?”

Everyone present was equally bewildered.

Samuel Evans continued, “At that time, the head of the Rothschild family’s Asia-Pacific division and the
person in charge of the complaint called me. I couldn’t understand why your father acted that way.”

Jack chimed in, “Uncle Evans, can you recall the year when Bruce slapped the head of the Rothschild
family’s Asia-Pacific division?”

Samuel Evans thought for a moment and replied, “It was a few months before their accident. After that
incident, Bruce was kicked out of the Wade family.”

Jack theorized, “Perhaps he did it intentionally to provoke the Rothschild family, creating a reason for
himself to be expelled from the Wade family. He might have sensed the danger and wanted to sever
ties with them.”
