Chapter 235 Ask Adolf
Naturally, Charles didn't ask any more questions. He was still thinking about what Alan had just said. His mother had once been
the leader of the assassins of the Lance Watson clan. He could imagine what kind of torture she had gone through to gain such a
high position even though he didn't experience it personally.
Just because of such imagination, Charles hated the Lance Watson clan. Or to be more precise, he wanted to completely
destroy the family, letting them disappear. However, it didn't seem to be able to ease the anger in his heart.
It was his mommy, the one he had always wanted to protect. He didn't expect that she would be treated in this way. Now,
Charles seemed to have understood where the darkness in his mommy's heart came from, and he also seemed to have
understood the cold aura that she had from time to time.
"If you want to be in a high position, the first thing you need to learn is to control your emotions. You shouldn't expose your
feelings to others. It's the first step to be on the top." Only when making others unable to guess what you are thinking would, you
can seize the opportunity.
He hoped that his son could have a carefree childhood. If it was possible, he also hoped that Charles wouldn't care about so
many things. Besides, Brian had the strength to let his son live such a life, but it was a pity that his son had gone on a path that
he could no longer stop him. Since then, he would support him to go further.
Charles stared at his father with burning eyes. Although he didn't know what his father was thinking, he knew that what Brian
said was for the good of him. He wanted to teach him how to move on, just as Brian was unpredictable in front of others. He had
to grow up gradually.
On the other hand, Charles knew his daddy well. He knew that his daddy was just like his mommy. Brian would only hide his
emotions in face of the strangers and enemies. He always wholeheartedly treated those he cared.
"Daddy, when did you know that my mom is related to the Lance Watson clan?" Charles was curious about it.
"When we were investigating the Locke family," Brian said, hugging Charles up.
"The Locke family is supported by Lance Watson," Charles was pretty sure about that now.
Brian nodded. A meaningful light flashed across Charles' eyes, and he seemed to think of something. He remembered that when
he asked Moore to investigate his mother, Brian indeed saw the file in front of him, which meant that his father already knew who
was behind the Locke family at that time, or earlier.
Now, it occurred to him that Brian had told him not to make any rash act at that time, and that the members of the Locke clan
were more complicated than he had imagined. Now, it seemed that Brian was reminding him to guard against the Lance Watson
clan. Thinking of this, Charles squinted his eyes.
"Daddy, how do you know that?" It should not be his mother who told him this. The Heavenly Shadow intelligence network
couldn't figure it out, but how did Brian know?
"I guessed it," Brian said with a soothing smile.
This answer was not convincing. Charles looked at Brian intently but did not ask any more. But Charles had sensed that his
father had a powerful force behind him, which he did not know exactly, but he was sure that this force was comparable to the
Heavenly Shadow.
With a smile, Brian stroked Charles' head. He knew that his son was so clever. Charles was able to guess a lot of things through
a few simple details, and he liked his smart son very much.
"Your mommy doesn't want you to know about it."
"Okay, I know. I won't say too much in front of my mom." Charles knew Emily's worries. That was why he concealed his identity
for a long time.
"Your mother will confess everything to you when it's appropriate. After all, you are part of her heart."
"Mr. Yun, why did you say that? Are you jealous?" Charles suddenly changed his mood and teased Brian.
"What do you think?" Brian raised his eyebrows.
"Well, it's useless. After all, I am much better at pleasing mommy."
"Oh, you mean I can act cute. That's a good idea. Why didn't I think of it?" Brian said seriously.
"No. That's my patent. I give you half of my mommy. You are not allowed to compete with me for the other half." Angrily replied
Charles.
Brian smiled and gave Charles a punch. "She is my wife. If you want, you can find one yourself."
"Humph, she was my mommy before she found you." Charles argued. After all, he couldn't lose the status.
Brian smiled and stopped arguing with him. After all, facts speak louder than words. He didn't have to argue with him.
Charles proudly announced his victory, not knowing that it was given to him by Brian. But it didn't matter because Charles was
his son. It was nice to be like this.
"I'm going to find Adolf. What do you want to do?" Brian looked at Charles and said.
The smile on Charles' face disappeared. "Do you want to ask Adolf about the things when mommy fought against Alan years
ago?" he asked.
The moment Alan saw Emily and Emily didn't answer Alan's question, the people had already known that Alan had been killed by
the fire of Emily at that time. And Adolf had seen that scene.
Alan just said that Emily pointed the muzzle of the gun at him and he also knew why she aimed the gun at him. But why would
Emily take action with Adolf? It seemed that only Adolf would tell him about it. Besides, Brian could see that Adolf treated Emily
as his friend. It couldn't be ignored by Brian.
For Charles' question, Brian only answered with one simple "Yes." Then Brian turned around to leave.
"I will go with you," Charles replied. Charles' eyes were full of irrefutable persistence, and Brian never refuted many decisions
made by Charles.
In fact, Emily wanted to protect Charles, but that was not what Brian wanted. He wanted to help Charles to go on, so that
Charles could learn to take control of the whole situation. In this way, Charles would know what he should do to keep the whole
thing under control. So Brian would not hide anything from Charles.
The moment Brian knew that Charles was the master of the Heavenly Shadow, he had decided to treat him like this. What's
more, from James's words, Brian knew that James wouldn't let Charles give up the identity as his successor easily, neither would
Charles. Therefore, the only thing Brian chose was to respect his decision.
Adolf had already known that Brian would come. After all, he had told him before, so it was reasonable for him to come. But he
didn't expected that Charles would come with him. Even though he was a little surprised and admiring of Charles, he still couldn't
see trough Charles.
"He is my son. He has the right to know everything." Brian said indifferently.
Said Adolf, looking at Charles, who was quite determined and didn't seem to be a kid at all. Thinking of the murderous aura
emanated from Charles when he shot, Adolf didn't say anything more, because he believed in this seventh year old kid, just like
he had trusted Emily for no reason.
"You should be here to ask me about her past." Said Adolf blandly. He had a strong feeling of attachment to her, but it was not
about the affection, but more about the memories.
Adolf didn't know what Brian and Charles heard from Alan. It was needless for him to care about since he remembered that
Emily had fought side by side with him.
"I met her by accident. Her appearance was not like this at that time, and she didn't even have this name." Said Adolf slowly.
He indeed met Emily unexpectedly. They were chasing Alan and the criminal gang. Alan was so cunning that they failed to
capture them in that several years. Finally, they found some clues and wanted to take the chance to arrest all of them.
At that time, they met Emily in the middle of their actions. At that time, Emily's face was not changed. Her cold face was not as
expressive as it was now. At that time, she was like a piece of ice, threatening the people who were close to her to be frozen. But
now she was like a flame, which could make people feel warm.
The only thing that didn't change was that, no matter in the past or in the present, people are either frozen or burned to ashes
once being close to her. The ferocity in her bone didn't seem to disappear with time, but it's sharpened more shocking.
When Adolf met Emily, she was alone with lots of wounds. At the sight of Adolf, she only said ironically, "Flying Leopard, Russia,
for Alan?"
The words left them astonished. Her cold and arrogant manner was so deeply engraved in Adolf's mind that he could still
remember her unyielding sight. The cold and arrogant eyes seemed to have ignored everything in the world, even the color of
the world. Everything had turned into deathly silence in her eyes.
Then she said, "Do you want to kill Alan? Let me help you."
