Chapter 1713: The origin
"Naylani Pierson, the one who raised me in the first life, and the one I tried to end along with me in this lifetime. She’s not part of the triplets, but she did alter her face under the orders of one of them."
Charles had already mentioned it before.
In this world, there were people—forces—carrying power that one couldn’t imagine. Power, wealth, and influence that even a government might know about, but not challenge. He said these forces could change a country’s fate with a word.
And Zoren vouched for that.
According to Zoren’s memories, he had stumbled upon this information during his investigation into Penny’s case. Not just the forces that weren’t known to the world, but rather, a story of what could happen if one of these forces split apart.
Just like what happened to the Zorken Family.
The Zorken Family was primarily responsible for covering the western region of the globe. They mostly operated in silence, supporting governments or neglecting them for their own reasons. Either way, they were powerful enough to manipulate every country’s economy and more.
The Zorken Family was also one of the most powerful forces among others.
Until...
Years ago, the head of the family had become obsessed with the research of life. Mainly, the creation of life. Quite blasphemous, but he had a reason for it. He and his wife couldn’t conceive a child. And with no heir, the Zorken Family would be in a difficult position.
