Lulu was still a college student when Curtis had died, so Zekeiah had never met Curtis.
However, the Qing Eliminating Society had been grooming him for Lulu since his college days.
At that time, there were more than twenty young male scholars who were groomed just like he was. Most of them were of pure Oskian descent, and a small number were of mixed Oskian and foreign descent.
Some mongrels or mixed blood were chosen because the society wasn't sure what Lulu's preference for a partner would be like after she grew up, so they selected these charming scholars and trained them rigorously.
Lulu had no idea that the outstanding boys around her who had excellent grades, extremely rich knowledge, and gentlemanly manners that far surpassed ordinary peers, were almost all scholars of the Qing Eliminating Society.
The purpose of the society was clear-cut.
Someone among these high-quality men who surrounded Lulu would be able to win her heart and get his place in the Acker family.
And Zekeiah was the ultimate winner.
Zekeiah knew all the information about the Acker family members in the early years.
Even though he had never met Curtis, he had seen all the information about him, including videos and photos.
However, Curtis had been gone for years, and he had not reviewed the documents after marrying Lulu, so he had forgotten Curtis's appearance.
Nevertheless, he had diligently studied and memorized this information for more than a decade, so he felt that Charlie looked familiar, almost as if they had met before.
Noticing Zekeiah's skeptical look, Charlie chuckled. "Oh? Do I look familiar to you?"
With that, he pretended to reach for his phone, but instead, he took out his gun, pointed it at Charlie's forehead, and sneered with a fearsome grimace, "Charlie, huh? Why are you here?! You know that I'm your uncle-in-law, but you're still playing tricks on me. So, you knew who I was all along, huh?"
Seeing his murderous glare and that he had completely removed his disguise, Charlie smiled. "You're just a scholar of the society. You look charming and glamorous, but you're just a dog with a slightly longer leash, and you need to take antidotes regularly, right?"
"Fuck!" Zekeiah narrowed his eyes. He glared at Charlie and gritted his teeth. "So, you know everything, huh?! I'll kill you right now and go to the Lord to claim the reward!"
"I know much more than you think," Charlie said lightly.
After a pause, he added, "By the way, I advise you to put down the gun, because it is of no use to me."
"Do you know that I killed three of the four earls?"
