The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5737

The preface is usually introductory content before the main text. So, Charlie felt that if the book his father received back then was really called ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic Book’, perhaps it was indeed the preface to the Apocalyptic Book!

With this in mind, he quickly asked, “Uncle, after my dad got this book, what were some of the statements or actions that you couldn't understand or left a deep impression on you?”

Christian thought for a moment and said, “There were too many behaviors of your dad that I couldn't understand. He searched for ancient books and materials everywhere and even went on field trips with your mom several times, sometimes for several months. But at that time, I thought your dad's mind was a bit strange, so I didn't pay much attention to what he was actually doing.”

At this point, Christian suddenly remembered something and blurted out, “Oh, I remember your dad mentioning more than once to your mom about how people's fates are related to the dragon and phoenix, and he talked about ascending as a dragon being the highest honor, and that only those with a dragon's fate are truly able to ascend to the heavens, or something strange like that.”

Charlie said with a solemn expression, “My dad was probably talking about people's destiny—the fate of the dragon, and the fate of the phoenix.”

“Perhaps.” Christian frowned and said, “He didn't mention those two much, but he often talked about the fate of the dragon, almost as if he were researching a topic for his doctoral dissertation. He was mumbling about it all the time, and your mom was really into it too, almost as though they were brainwashed.”

Charlie hurriedly asked, “Uncle, do you remember any other details?”

When Charlie recalled how Mr. Chardon had killed his parents, Charlie speculated that his parents must have accidentally obtained some incredible treasure or cultivation method, which had attracted Fleur’s attention, ultimately angering Fleur which eventually led to their deaths in Aurous Hill.

At this thought, Charlie suddenly thought of Vera.

Vera might not know about the secret to longevity, but she definitely understood things like destiny. After all, she had lived for over three hundred years, and her knowledge of the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams surpassed anyone else's. Even Chandler couldn't compare to her, so she might know what the fate of the ascending dragon really meant!
