The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5740

Christian shook his head and said, “I wasn't interested in those things at all, so I didn't pay attention to it.”

Charlie asked again, “Do you know where this book went later?”

Christian continued shaking his head. “I don’t know… After your parents studied that book, they went to Oskia for some reason. As for where the book went exactly, I'm not very clear about that as well.”

Charlie nodded. It seemed that his parents' departure from the United States to Oskia wasn't as he had previously thought.

Previously, Charlie remembered his grandfather being relatively cold toward his father, so he had always thought that his parents returned to Eastcliff because of various pressures from his grandfather, laying the groundwork for their future murder. Now, it seemed that they had accidentally obtained the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book while in the United States, and after researching this book, they had decided to return to Oskia. Their true motive for returning to Oskia should have been to explore the mysteries of the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book.

The secret to longevity mentioned by Mr. Chardon before his death might be related to the clues revealed by the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book.

As Charlie thought of this, he suddenly remembered a detail. So, he asked Keith, “Grandpa, before my parents left Eastcliff for Aurous Hill, they had a lot of unpleasantness with the Wades supposedly because of some conflicts with the Rothschild family. Have you heard about this?”

Keith said, “Yes. Your dad did have some conflicts with the Rothschild family back then. According to the popular version, the Rothschild family wanted to establish a foothold in Oskia and expand their interests there. So, they had been openly or secretly competing with various major families in Oskia. Your dad then gathered many families and declared war on the Rothschild family. After a few rounds of fighting with the Rothschild family, they withdrew from Oskia, but they still held a grudge against your dad.”

Charlie frowned, “You said that's the popular version. What's the actual situation?”
