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.
