As for the others, Jiang Chen had not informed them.
On this day, the sea was calm and tranquil. Jiang Chen sat atop the island, a faint aura of Spiritual Energy enveloping him. He began to cultivate using the Heavenly Transformation Great Dao Technique, entering a state of deep meditation.
Meanwhile, in a mansion in the United States, Jon Delson resided. He was not American; the Delson Family hailed from Europe. However, due to his unique circumstances, he had been pushed out to the United States years ago and had acquired U.S. citizenship. He did not abandon his original nationality, making him a dual citizen. With such a status, many countries recognized multiple nationalities.
Jon Delson's primary reason for returning to the United States was to assist his master, Jiang Chen, in searching for divine artifacts. Additionally, there was another important matter at hand: he was burdened by the resentment of the Undying Dragon Clan. Over the years, he had been ostracized by members of the Delson Family, treated like a pariah. Now that he had regained his normalcy, he needed to return to the Delson Family to restore his identity and have his relatives remove their prejudices.
In the vast mansion, Jon Delson's family had prepared dinner and were waiting anxiously. The rules of a large family were quite strict. Although Jon had been away from the Delson Family for many years, he still took pride in the blood that flowed through his veins and insisted that his descendants adhere to the family's traditions.
Jon Delson's lineage now spanned four generations. He had five sons; his wife had passed away years ago, and he had not remarried due to his age and declining health. Besides his five sons, he also had six grandsons and four granddaughters, some of whom were already married with children.
Earlier, an unexpected call from the elderly patriarch shocked everyone—he announced he would be returning home today. This news startled the entire family; they knew that he lived on an island in seclusion and rarely allowed anyone to visit him. Moreover, everyone was aware that his health was failing rapidly. The sudden announcement of his return raised concerns among them.
Though no reason was given, the household quickly became busy. As the eldest son, Jon Delson’s firstborn, John Delson, hurriedly called all family members to ensure they returned before dinner. John feared that their father’s condition might be critical and that he wanted to see everyone one last time.
Upon hearing that their grandfather was coming back, everyone set aside their work and studies to rush home. They shared John’s sentiments—this unexpected return likely meant their grandfather was unwell and wanted to settle some matters before possibly saying goodbye.
In the grand hall, an oppressive atmosphere lingered; it felt as if they were attending a memorial service rather than a family gathering.
As dusk approached, Jon Delson finally arrived home. His car had just pulled up at the villa when his grandchildren rushed out to greet him with solemn expressions filled with sorrow. From inside the car, Jon observed this scene through the glass with confusion; after being away for so long, shouldn’t they be happy to see him?
The car door opened, and a blonde-haired girl resembling a porcelain doll dashed forward and embraced Jon tightly.
“Grandpa, please don’t be unwell,” she said anxiously.
This girl was Jon Delson’s youngest granddaughter named Alice Delson. She was about to graduate from college this year and was exceptionally bright and charming, which endeared her greatly to her grandfather.
