The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5666

“In the following two years, my father and Fleur recruited some determined patriots who aimed to restore our country. They continuously engaged in battles with the Qing army, but due to their limited strength, they couldn't alter the Qing army's gradual unification.”

“In the year 1662, the notorious traitor, Sanguine, killed the king in Yorkshire Hill. My father was filled with sorrow and was extremely aggrieved. He joined forces with Fleur and led the righteous men from the Qing Eliminating Society to assassinate Sanguine. Unfortunately, their mission failed.”

“My father and Fleur were pursued by tens of thousands of troops from the Qing army, and with the inland regions already under the Qing army’s control, they decided to flee to Taiwan to seek refuge there in order to continue resisting the Qing army. Unexpectedly, shortly after their departure, news arrived that the Taiwan leader had suddenly passed away. With no other options, they returned to Mount Tason, seeking their master to cultivate in seclusion for a few more years. This would allow them to lay low and enhance their strength.”

“However, in the second year after returning to Mount Tason, that is, in the year 1663, their master felt that his end was near. He arranged his affairs, bequeathing to my father and Fleur two Eternal Pills, hoping that one day they could reclaim our country.”

At this point, Vera sighed, expressing an expression that was a mixture of anger and sorrow. When Charlie saw her silence, he tentatively asked, “Did Fleur, who fought alongside your father for many years, really want to kill him for just a pill?”

Vera pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, “Not exactly. In fact, Fleur has always loved my father deeply. However, my father never reciprocated those feelings and kept her at a distance as he held onto the memories of my mother.”

“After receiving the Eternal Pills from their master and after their master passed away, Fleur took one of the pills and proposed that my father abandon the plan to resist the Qing army. Instead, they could live peacefully in Mount Tason as immortal companions for five hundred years. However, my father refused and scolded her for forgetting the national enmity and betraying her deceased brother, which eventually led to their dispute.”

“My father was unwilling to forsake me and live alone for five hundred years, and he refused to give up the dream of restoring our country. He made three points clear to Fleur. Firstly, he would never remarry; secondly, he would pass the Eternal Pill to me; and thirdly, he would fight the Qing army to the end.”

“Fleur may have felt greatly humiliated. When she realized that my father was unwilling to stay with her, she suddenly attacked my father and attempted to take the Eternal Pill and the ring left by their master from my father. In the midst of the conflict, my father was severely injured, and the ring transported him from Mount Tason to Yorkshire Hill in an instant, where he revealed the entire story to me, after tricking me into consuming the Eternal Pill.”

Charlie was extremely shocked. The man, Elijah Lavor, who was named on the spirit tablet, turned out to be a true national hero, unwavering in his dedication to his country even in the face of five hundred years of longevity. Such a person could be called a saint.

Vera smiled faintly and stated, “Yes. My father’s master really lived for a thousand years. He was born in the year 664 and passed away in the year 1663, which is precisely one thousand years.”

Charlie was puzzled and mumbled, “Why does that year seem to sound so familiar?”

Vera smiled and said, “Perhaps you excelled in history during your school days?”

“No…” Charlie furrowed his brows, shook his head slightly, and said, “I seem to have heard someone mentioning the year 664 recently.”

Charlie then suddenly remembered something and asked eagerly, “Miss Lavor, is the master that you’re talking about named Marcius Stark?”
