The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 6051

"But why?" Charlie asked, bewildered. "How could my father, who was much better than me, not have the fate of the ascending dragon? Why me? An orphan who lost his parents at the age of eight and a loser who was a laughingstock in Aurous Hill! Why? I don't get it..."

With a long sigh, Raymond lamented with a tearful hint, "Oh, Mr. Wade... You have no idea what the fate of the ascending dragon means. It isn't a fate that people are born with, but a fate that is changed artificially. Your father had the fate of the dragon, and your highest destiny is a dragon. To become an ascending dragon, you need the combination of two dragons..."

As he spoke of this, Raymond choked up, tears flooding his eyes, "The reason you have the fate of the ascending dragon is because your father took away his destiny and gave it to you!

"That combines with your own fate of the dragon, and you eventually acquired the fate of the ascending dragon!"

"What? W-What did you just say?!"

Charlie's heart skipped a beat. He was so astounded his mind went blank.

Unconsciously breaking down slightly, he asked incomprehensibly, "D-Dad... W-Why did he give me his fate of the dragon?!"

Raymond explained dejectedly, "Because he knew that he couldn't defeat the Qing Eliminating Society and British Lord even though he had the fate of the dragon. The British Lord would definitely kill him, your mother, and you. He knew that he would die eventually, so he gave up his destiny for you and made all the arrangements, hoping that you would one day reach the fate of the ascending dragon, obtain the Apocalyptic Book, and defeat the British Lord! He would sacrifice himself to let you live over everything else!"

Tears began to flood Charlie's eyes and roll down his cheeks.

He had never expected such a devastating backstory of his acquisition of the Apocalyptic Book and his rise to fame!

"That day in the VIP room at Vintage Deluxe, when I opened the box of the vase, it began to vibrate. I asked your father-in-law to take it out. He probably didn't expect the vase to vibrate, so he panicked and dropped it to the floor..."

"So, it's not that you got the Apocalyptic Book by chance, but you are the only one in the world who can make the book break out of the vase! I arranged for this to happen in Vintage Deluxe so that it would seem natural to you and would not raise suspicion..."

Charlie listened silently, tears streaming down his cheeks. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Is it painful to strip one’s fate?"

Raymond looked up at the ceiling. The mist in his eyes had condensed into tears, and the light he saw became blurry and mottled.

After a long while, he murmured, "To strip oneself of one's own fate... is the most painful thing I've ever seen in my life..."
