Chapter 572: Master Tam is Trapped by His Disciple Again

Master Tam's expression grew serious as he spoke.

"Unexpectedly, those family heads acted like they were insane, accusing my father of spouting nonsense and sensationalizing, saying that it was all because my father was too greedy and so on. The following week, our family suffered an unprecedented attack. Finally, one night, every member of my family disappeared without a trace."

Master Tam paused, the pain of that past evident on his face, though it quickly vanished.

Perhaps the years had slowly dissolved his original pain, but suddenly mentioning it again still caused him immense heartache.

After about a minute, Master Tam continued, "That night, I wasn't home. I was out drinking with Ian, your grandfather. When I returned, the house reeked of blood, but there was no sign of their bodies, or even my newborn baby sister. Something felt wrong, so I hid."

"Sure enough, by the next day, all traces of the Solomon family had been wiped clean. No one but your grandfather sought me out, but I couldn't show myself. This matter was extraordinary, and I couldn't involve your grandfather. Not long after, the ancient lineage of our family was divided amongst those family heads who had consulted my father. Since then, no one has mentioned the Solomon family again."

Having finished, Master Tam drank the rest of his carrot juice and handed the empty cup to Jared, "Refill."

Jared took the cup as instructed, refilled it with carrot juice, and handed it back, remaining silent throughout.

After pouring the juice, he focused on grilling meat, serving some to Tina and Master Tam.

"Girl, Linden is a descendant of one of those families' external relatives from back then, you should know this. The Shaw family also prospered because of our family's ancient lineage, making them beneficiaries of the events back then. Now, if they are seeking me, they must have another purpose, but don't worry, girl, he isn't one of those who pursued me back then."

Hearing this, Tina felt relieved.

Since Linden wasn't one of those who had chased Master Tam back then, his search for Master Tam must have a different purpose. "Master, will you meet with him?" Tina asked.

Master Tam waved his hand, "There are still many things I need to investigate. I can't meet him now. You go ahead and handle the finances, and when the time comes, I will naturally meet him. It won't delay your chance to make money." Master Tam's expression lightened as he joyfully ate the grilled meat.

He knew his disciple all too well.

Such a little money-grubber.
