Charlie hadn't done much research on the study of destiny.
In the Apocalyptic Book, there was a wealth of miscellaneous knowledge, but it notably lacked explanations about destiny. He used to think that destiny might be like India's caste system, where a high destiny equated to a high caste, meaning a person of high caste only had a high social status, but they didn't inherently possess great strength. People of high caste could still get sick, age, and face various accidents just like anyone else. However, Vera's words suggested that destiny was far more complex than he had imagined.
So, he asked Vera, “If my father had the fate of the dragon, would he not have been killed by Mr. Chardon?”
Vera asserted confidently, “That’s right! The power of destiny lies in their absolute hierarchy. As long as a person with the fate of the dragon doesn't seek death, how could Mr. Chardon, who merely had the fate of the tiger, kill someone with the fate of the dragon? Young Master, you have the fate of the dragon, so even though your fate includes a calamity like Mr. Chardon, your destiny will arrange for you to meet me in advance, for me to give you the ring in advance, and for me to help you escape the calamity in advance. That's the real power of destiny.”
Charlie murmured, “If that's the case, my father probably didn’t have the fate of the dragon. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed by Mr. Chardon.”
As he thought of this, Charlie's expression turned puzzled again. “There's one thing I don't understand. Miss Lavor, it took you many years to comprehend the existence of the fate of the ascending dragon. My father was only in his twenties back then. How did he know about the fate of the ascending dragon, then?”
Vera shook her head. “I can't say for sure. Perhaps your father's book contained records about the fate of the ascending dragon.”
Charlie nodded lightly. It seemed that this explanation was the only plausible one. He recalled Vera's explanation that the fate of the ascending dragon wasn't innate, which left him even more confused. If such a top-tier destiny wasn't innate, then how could it be achieved after birth?
Charlie felt completely lost and could not seem to make sense of anything.
