"No." Janus shook his head and said, "My ancestral home is in Dothmain in Grochex Province. My father escaped and came to Hong Kong during the war and so, I was also born in Hong Kong. After that, my father relied on our ancestral goose roasting skills to make a living in Hong Kong before getting rooted in Hong Kong. After that, my family gradually became affluent, and they sent me to Europe and the United States to study."
Charlie asked curiously, "How did you meet my father, then?"
Janus said, "I met your father when we were both hiking in the United States. We were both students at that time, and we just happened to run into each other when we were hiking during the holidays. In addition, our itineraries were almost the same and so, we went together and became friends after that. Since then, we would often talk together eloquently and pinpoint the current wrongs. We got along very well!"
Having said that, Janus paused for a moment and then said, "However, since our schools were far away from each other, we did not see much of each other after that although we often wrote to each other via letters and also communicated on the phone.”
"Later on, your father went back to Oskia with your mother, and he left me his contact information when he left. He was hoping that I could go to Eastcliff to find him after my graduation, but I missed my family and so, I went back to Hong Kong."
Charlie nodded gently when he heard this.
He actually wanted to know why Janus was later given a pursuit order by the rich and powerful man in Hong Kong.
However, he decided that such questions were generally very sensitive and not suitable to be asked face-to-face. Thus, he gave up on this thought and smiled as he said, "So, you actually met my father because of a hiking trip."
Janus nodded and smiled. After that, he looked at Charlie before he laughed and asked, "Young Master Wade, do you want to know why there was a pursuit order for me in Hong Kong?"
Having said that, Janus then changed the subject and said in a self-deprecating manner, "However, I never would have expected that even if he was a playboy, my first girlfriend was also his true love..."
"At that time, as soon as I had finished that sentence, he asked his subordinates to arrest me immediately and beat me up. After that, he pointed a pistol at my head and forcefully asked whether I had cuckolded him...”
With that being said, Janus sighed helplessly and said, "I, Janus Campbell, have always been a righteous man all my life. So, how could I possibly have made a cuckold out of others? I only confessed my feelings to my first girlfriend and asked her if she was willing to leave that person t o be with me instead. I had only told the truth to Mr. Long after I d gotten her approval. Moreover, I only tried my best to help him make money because I felt guilty and hoped that he could grant us our wish..."
Quinn, who was aside, asked nervously," And then? What did he say?"
