Chapter 698: Chapter 326: The Mystery of Gao Shu’s Origins 3

"However, the City Lord often came to see this girl and personally taught her many things. Until the Third War broke out, which lasted for three years. During these three years, the City Lord was busy and never came to see her once."

"Then came the Vermilion Bird Gate Incident. As an ordinary cook from the City Lord’s Mansion, Lv Zhao’s people did not make things difficult for me. They even thought this was my daughter, gave me some money, and sent me off, so I left openly with the City Lord’s only surviving orphan."

"I didn’t know she was the City Lord’s daughter until Wan Kai came to find me."

Gao Xin covered his face, "So it’s as simple as this?"

Not to mention Lv Zhao was unaware, even Wan Kai himself did not know. It was a matter of last resort to entrust the orphan.

No wonder Tangren City never had any action to search for the Gao family’s orphans, because from their perspective, Gao Long had no other descendants.

Wan Kai said that on the day of the incident, he found out Gao Long had a daughter.

The cook Xue also only knew it was Gao Long’s daughter when Wan Kai came to him.

In that case, as long as Lv Zhao wasn’t the "kill even the cook beside the former City Lord" type of ruthless person, the cook Xue, a mere Wolf Level, could naturally leave.

It can only be said that Gao Long hid it so well that no one knew where Gao Shu came from.

So much so that now, there is a surviving Gao family orphan, allowing Wan Kai to support her in seeking revenge.

But the problem arises, wasn’t Gao Long wary of everyone? He even kept it from both Wan Kai and Lv Zhao.

Three burrows for a sly rabbit? Prepared for his own downfall from the start, leaving a backup plan?

But it doesn’t add up. If external enemies were involved, even the cook from the City Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t be spared. Since Gao Shu was always raised in the City Lord’s Mansion, the only way to survive would be an internal coup.

If he was wary of a coup, how could Lv Zhao have succeeded so easily? It indicates that Gao Long did not guard against Lv Zhao from the start.

It’s strange, too strange.

Gao Xin frowned; the only explanation he could think of was... Gao Shu’s mother’s identity was extremely sensitive.

The former City Lord did not hide Gao Shu’s identity to keep a backup plan.

He hid Gao Shu for other reasons, which allowed her to escape the coup purely by coincidence...

Gao Xin was speechless, "Could it be this way?" This could even explain the last-minute entrustment to Wan Kai, akin to a makeshift plan.

After all, if there was to be a backup plan, there would need to be a force capable of overturning the situation.

The result was a last-minute notification to Wan Kai, who risked his life to escape and find a Wolf Level cook with no other external hidden powers to rely on. Just the two of them, how would they manage revenge?

"...So her mother must be someone Gao Long could never mention... maybe like Tangren City’s most hated enemy or something," Gao Xin speculated.

Then he looked at Wan Kai: "Is there such a person?"

Wan Kai pondered, "I can’t think of anyone, the strongest woman on the island isn’t it Milan? But she’s not our enemy. If they had a love child, what would there be to hide?"

"Could it be that Gao Xin’s mother was Caesar’s woman? Huh? Sixteen years ago, wasn’t Shelly still alive?"

Gao Xin was taken aback: "Shelly?"

Wan Kai said: "She was Caesar’s beloved woman. Because she wanted to escape, Caesar, after establishing a considerable power, led all the strong ones to launch an expedition against the Navy."

Gao Xin was dumbfounded, "Wow, an expedition against the Navy?"

Wan Kai chuckled: "At that time, none of us truly understood the Navy’s might, neither did he. He just felt invincible and wanted to gather his forces to break out and establish his own kingdom outside."

"As expected, they faced a crushing defeat. Caesar’s lover died because of it, and Caesar himself went mad."

Gao Xin tilted his head: "Mad?"

Wan Kai recounted: "How should I put it, early on, Caesar was still alright. Though arrogant, he had a great spirit, otherwise, how could he rally so many to follow him?"

"And Shelly was very kind, so back then, Caesar never indiscriminately killed the innocent, it was like having a sheath to hold him back."

"But once Shelly died, he nearly lost his mind, fell into a self-destructive breakdown for a while, and only after consuming Fulu Particles did he regain himself, although with a drastic change in personality."

"Moreover, he was incredibly doting on his son. Let’s put it this way, his reputation as a tyrant is largely due to his overindulgence of his and Shelly’s only son."

"The Fourth National War was launched for his son. That guy is the real lunatic, called ’Scorched Earth Leon.’

"Because wherever he went, it could become scorched earth. If you see him, you must run, and run stealthily without drawing his attention."

Gao Xin furrowed his brows: "Scorched Earth Leon, I think I’ve heard of him."

"Right, at the Tiger King Conference, when people talked about Haley’s status, they mentioned that Haley could beat Leon and not die."

Wan Kai nodded emphatically: "That’s right, Leon is a pure killer, indulged by Caesar, he kills whoever he wants."

"The fourth national war was because Leon went too far. He slaughtered an entire village in the Death Hills just because he didn’t like the color green."

"This incident enraged the followers of the Milan Order, leading to a great battle in the Death Hills, where the Milan Order’s people were entirely wiped out."

"This was the fuse for the fourth national war."

"Caesar, in many aspects, can be reasonable, but when it comes to his son, he turns into an irrational tyrant."

Gao Xin was stunned; the reasons for war on the island were too absurd.

The third national war was for the Demon Blade, the fourth because his son disliked the color green?

"Is this Ashen Leon really that strong?" Gao Xin asked heavily.

Unexpectedly, Wan Kai sneered: "Strong my ass, he’s just a Wolf Level."

"What? Wolf Level?" Gao Xin couldn’t believe it would be so low.

Wan Kai shook his head: "But he can still run rampant because he is always protected by a Quasi-Dragon King."

"At all times? A Quasi-Dragon King?" Gao Xin was shocked, finally understanding why Caesar’s indulgence of his son was said to be outrageous.

"Seriously, this Quasi-Dragon King is even willing to protect a Wolf Level?"

Wan Kai explained: "Iron Heart Sauron, one of the West Coast Four Heavenly Kings of Evil Dragon Castle, and also Shelly’s brother."

"After Shelly’s death, he became a man devoid of emotions and humanity, also a junkie."

"Every day, he only does two things: protecting Leon and ingesting Fulu Particles."

Gao Xin rolled his eyes, anyone crazy is a real threat.

Shelly’s death created three madmen.

In a way, it’s also legendary.

If Gao Long was involved with Shelly, it indeed couldn’t be publicized, lest it cause huge trouble.

"So you think Gao Shu she..."

Wan Kai shook his head directly: "What do you mean by ’I think’? You were the one asking me about any significant opposing woman... "

"But as for her, it’s impossible. Although Gao Shu was born while Shelly was still alive, Caesar was with her all the time, where would a love child come from? A test-tube baby maybe?"

Gao Xin said: "It’s not entirely impossible."

Wan Kai laughed angrily: "It’s truly impossible, it’s too far-fetched, I’d rather believe she was born to Milan."

Gao Xin was about to say something more.

However, Gao Shu snorted: "All right, stop guessing. I have no feelings for Gao Long, nor have I ever seen my mother. Besides wanting to know who she is, I have nothing else I seek."

"In my eyes, Uncle Xue is my real father. I want revenge, but not for myself, it’s for Brother Kai."

"Brother Kai was harmed by Lv Zhao of Tangren City, I must avenge him!"

For the first time, Gao Shu formally expressed her attitude towards revenge; she indeed wanted revenge, but it was for Brother Kai.

Her life was half Uncle Xue, half Uncle Xue and Wan Kai, she barely had any memories of Tangren City.

Gao Xin said: "I promised, I will shoulder your hatred."

"But before that, I must figure out all the causes and effects. We will only punish the main culprits, not oppose all of Tangren City, as I still have friends there."

Wan Kai smiled: "Naturally, Tangren City is also my home, and I have many brothers and friends there."

"I was born in Tangren City, and I will die a ghost of Tangren City."

Uncle Xue nodded too, he also held feelings for Tangren City.

In fact, from the previous interactions Gao Xin had with Ling Sha and Wei Lan, it was clear their hatred targets were only a few individuals.

Gao Xin nodded, now that the three have spoken openly, with a unified pace, there’s no problem.

He also didn’t want to be enemies with Ling Sha or Wei Lan.
