Initially, he thought that Vera might have been living in remote places to avoid being hunted after being on the run for so many years. However, he never expected that she had always been at the forefront of the world.
Surprisingly, even during her fugitive journey, she thought about contributing to Oskia, aligning well with Elijah’s ideals. She was truly just like her father.
Vera continued her story and said, “When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I established contact with the Oskia Revival Association through some previous connections. However, just as I was preparing to meet with them, I fell into an ambush by assassins from the Qing Eliminating Society. I only managed to narrowly escape at the time.”
Charlie asked, “Was there a leak of information at that time?”
Vera nodded and expressed her sentiments, “Yes. I didn't know at that time that Fleur’s people had already infiltrated the Oskia Revival Association.”
After saying that, Vera added, “After surviving that life-threatening encounter, I realized that Fleur had already begun to infiltrate and set up networks from Asia to various parts of the world. So, I went to South America, which was relatively backward at the time.”
“Before the eve of the First World War, I heard about the king’s abdication and was so excited that I went three days without sleeping. I took the risk and returned to Oskia. After living in Eastcliff for a period of time, I traveled to the north until Japan launched the September 18th incident.”
“During my world travels over the years and through various fortuitous encounters, I earned considerable wealth and accumulated industries worldwide. So, for these children who passed the tests, when they reached adulthood, I would give them wealth and opportunities. I might even entrust some businesses to them. Over time, they blossomed like flowers everywhere.”
Charlie exclaimed, “Are they all your adopted sons and daughters?”
“Not really,” Vera shook her head. “I didn't want to be too sentimental when they passed away. Therefore, I always maintained clear boundaries with them. From a young age, I had them address me as Miss Vera. Some of them started calling me Miss Vera as soon as they could speak. Even when they reached the age where they were about to die, they still continued to call me Miss Vera.”
