Although Gavin had been in Europe all these years, he did not give up on the investigation about what had happened that year.
Especially after the death of the Old Master of the Kim family.
Even though the Old Master, on his deathbed, did not allow him to have a hand in what had happened.
However, he didn't want to live like this, muddled and wronged.
When he first arrived in Holland, he had suffered a lot before he was able to explore a new world for the Kim family.
At that time, he didn't have the time and energy, as well as the ability to investigate what had happened back then.
It was only after the Old Master passed away that he began his investigations.
Only then, did he found out that it was indeed impossible for the Kim family to be capable of confronting.
It was just like an egg hurling against a stone, which was their heading to the doom.
Even if the Kim family enjoyed a position of eminence in Birmingham at that time.
There were also the ones with a more exalted position.
After that, Gavin told himself to forget what had happened previously.
He would swallow the grievance on his own.
So he kept Lucas from coming back to Birmingham.
This time, were it not for Jane's issues with the Youngren Family, Gavin wouldn't have allowed them to come back. However, he wanted to satisfy his daughter's wish.
It was originally supposed that the economic landscape of Birmingham had changed drastically as decades had passed.
So it was beyond their expectations that every move of the Kim family would still be noticed and watched.
At Jane's question about who the enemy of the Kim family was, Gavin did not know how to answer for a while.
He didn't want to keep the children worried about the Kim family.
So Gavin only said, "It's all over now. We don't need to waste any more time on this. I just want you to return to Holland and lead a peaceful life."
Hearing this, Jane and Lucas took a look at each other.
They all knew that their father was getting more and more restless and trapped.
Especially after finding his daughter Jane, he wanted to keep her in an ivory tower, rid of the disturbance of the outside world. His biggest wish was for her to live safe and sound.
However, Jane was not in such a character.
If she hadn't suffered so much, she might be willing to live a stable and plentiful
life as a rich lady.
But now she had gone through so many things.
She could never live a carefree life again.
She also wanted to do something for the Kim family, especially for her own mother, who was involved partly because of the issues of the Kim family.
Jane just wanted to find justice.
How could those people decide the fate of others so easily?
She was unable to swallow it.
So was Lucas.
Now the Kim family had been divided into two factions.
Gavin was of the conservatives, while Jane and Lucas were both radicals.
Both of the children advocated taking the initiative to attack so that they could preserve everything of the Kim family.
Yet Gavin was afraid that the two children would be too rash to maintain their peaceful life.
Just like how he used to be back then.
History seemed to be a cycle, turning back.
Gavin was wavering.
Jane said, "Father, having been on the plane for so long, you'd better take a rest first. We'll discuss what to do tomorrow."
