Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

“Chu Tianfan's a God among men! If my deductions are correct, he must have left a trump card behind before attacking the Chu Sect. After all, he'd have needed to protect his friends and family in Jiangdong,” Bill said solemnly, his deep voice resonating across the secret chamber. “Take them with you to Jiangdong. I'm sure you'll be safe and sound there!”

Upon hearing that, Michael froze.

“W-What about you, Dad? It's a grave offense to release the Four Supremes, and there's no way the Chu Sect will let you off the hook once they find out about it. Why don't you leave with us?” he advised.

Alas, his father shook his head. “I can't leave yet, especially not when our family's businesses, properties, and centuries-old legacy are all here. Even though I've secretly transferred most of our assets to China in the past years, we still have family members living here. We can't possibly leave them behind to fend for themselves.”

After a pause, Bill added, “In any case, don't worry about it. Once you're gone, I'll secretly arrange to transfer them out, and we can then reunite in Jiangdong. Okay, that's all for now. Run along and start packing. I'll check on your sister one last time.”

As he had already made up his mind, he swiftly urged his son to make the preparations for the escape.

With that, only Bill and Angie remained in the secret chamber.

As Bill sat quietly by his daughter's bed and stared at her beautiful, serene sleeping face, memories began flooding back.

He recalled that when Angie was born, she did not wail at the top of her lungs like other babies. Instead, she merely tugged at his beard and laughed.

Later, as she got older, she gradually showed signs of extraordinary abilities, to the point where her peers considered her a freak.

Left with no other choice, Bill decided to keep her home and away from the rest of the world.

Oddly enough, though, Angie never seemed to mind that arrangement. Even when she was alone, she could still play to her heart's content, and if no one chatted with her, she would turn to the bugs and animals for company.

The more Bill recalled the past, the more it made him teary-eyed.

“Angie, it's all my fault. I'm a useless father. It's bad enough that I haven't given you a good childhood or a happy life, but I've made it worse by letting you get hurt...” he murmured, eyes closed as tears rolled down his cheeks.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

Immediately after, the door was flung open, and Michael, who had left earlier, came rushing into the room frantically.
