The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Eliam did not answer Charlie's question, but he looked at Charlie and said very seriously, "Charlie, do you know why your parents returned to Oskia back then?"

Charlie said, "I heard that it was my father who wanted to come back to revitalize the Wade family. As for my mother, she probably accompanied my father back to Oskia because she was fulfilling her obligations as a wife after marrying him."

Eliam smiled and said, "Look, this is your father's brilliance. If he doesn't want others to see through his true purpose, no one in this world would be able to see through him."

Charlie frowned and asked, "Uncle Eliam, what do you mean? According to what you've said, you mean that my parents actually had a hidden agenda when they returned to Oskia back then?"

Eliam smiled mysteriously and said to Charlie, "Curtis and Ashley are a pair of geniuses in the business field, and in everyone's eyes, they are the perfect couple in the financial industry. In fact, from the time I met your father, he's a person who was very interested in martial arts and traditional Oskian culture. He was also very interested in superstitions as well as metaphysics that are spurned by the high- level intellectuals."

"As for me, I happened to have practiced a little bit of martial arts when I was a child, and I also grew up in the Harker family, which is also a martial arts family. Although I've neglected my martial arts cultivation for many years, I still have some knowledge of it, so even though there's an age gap between your father and I, we could still get along with each other very well."

"Although your father had no talent in martial arts himself, he had been researching the roots and underlying logic of martial arts. The same goes for your mother. They even spent a lot of manpower, resources, and money to investigate the origins of martial arts and metaphysics all around the world."

Charlie frowned and said, "It seems as if I've never had such an impression of my father..."

Eliam laughed and said, "You can understand your father as a scholar who is trying to use scientific methods to crack the core of martial arts and metaphysics. His goal was not to practice martial arts but to decipher the law of martial arts just like Newton deciphered the law of gravity. He would often discuss what essential qi is with me and why martial artists can use meridians and their elixir field to circulate their essential qi which would play a role in improving their strength and their physical fitness."

"Use scientific methods to decipher the core of martial arts and metaphysics?" Charlie looked confused and could not help but wonder, 'Can this kind of thing really be explained scientifically? Is there a scientific method that can be used to study why the Rejuvenating Pill can bring people back to life and prolong their lifespan? I have a good understanding of martial arts and Reiki, but I don't know what the underlying logic is. Dad was not even a martial artist, so how could he study what the underlying logic behind it was?'noveldrama

Eliam then thought of something and said, "By the way, Charlie, even though your mother seems quiet, she is actually more interested in these things, and she was even more fanatical than your father. What's more, your father might even have been influenced by her."

As Eliam spoke of this, he said to Charlie, "Your mother even has a special team that specializes in this kind of knowledge. She even used her connections and background in the United States to set up a supercomputer computing center as early as the 1990s. At the time, there was only a handful of countries that were using such supercomputers to predict global climate, stimulate nuclear test data, calculate the orbits and distances of the planets in the solar system, and explore the mysteries of the birth of the universe, but your mother was using the world's top supercomputer to deduce the underlying logic of the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams."

Charlie was dumbfounded when he heard this. He never dreamt that his mother would have such a mysterious side.

Eliam thought of something and added, "Oh, by the way, your mother even took your father to participate in at least dozens of martial arts-related archaeological projects in various parts of Oskia before and after their marriage."

"Archaeology?" Before Charlie could be surprised by his mother's interest in the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, he subconsciously said, "I've never heard of them engaging in archaeology..."

Eliam laughed and said, "They naturally would not let you know because their archaeology is not officially approved. To put it nicely, it's archaeology, but to put it bluntly, it's tomb raiding."

After saying that, Eliam asked him, "Can you imagine that? Two top rich heirs who are usually super elites who go in and out of Wall Street or Eastcliff's Central Business District but will put on their stealthy clothing at night to become looters at night..."
