"My master was very poor and had never been abroad, but he always yearned for China. He often told me how wonderful China was and that he must visit China in the future. The name Liu Tao was also given to me by my master."
So, Liu Tao doesn't seem to be the son of the Eller family at all? He's just an ordinary person with Eller family blood.
By the way, Eller seemed to call Bowen uncle, which means that Liu Tao’s grandfather and Bowen are brothers?
"I was found by the Eller family later."
Liu Tao shrugged: "No matter what, the Ayler family is going to train a successor, but... the latest generation of the Ayler family is too useless and cannot be trained. In the end, the Ayler family came to me again.
I've experienced hardship and grew up in poverty, so I have a strong character. Furthermore, I'm a direct descendant of the Eller family, so my deformity was largely unnoticeable as I grew older."
Shen Cheng nodded.
At least in Shen Cheng's eyes, if Liu Tao didn't tell him that he had a deformity, Shen Cheng really wouldn't be able to tell.
"I didn't plan to return to the Eller family at first, but my master and I were at our most impoverished at the time, and my master was also ill. It was difficult for him to even get out of bed, so I needed to take care of him."
At this point, Liu Tao sighed: "So I told the people of the Ayler family that I can return to the Ayler family, but you have to take good care of my master, arrange the most comfortable room for him, and a large amount of assets.
The people of the Eler family readily agreed, so I followed him back to the Eler family, cut off contact with the outside world, and practiced day and night to cultivate the cultivation and abilities of a young master of a big family. The person in charge of teaching me was my uncle, Bowen.
I have a good talent—at least much better than the useless Eller family of that generation. Furthermore, the Eller family discovered my special abilities, which made them overjoyed. So, they began training me as the official successor of the family, constantly giving me all kinds of expensive clothes and luxury cars, and constantly instilling in me the idea that money is supreme. Perhaps in their eyes, I am just a poor boy who has never seen the world, and these things can easily make me lose my mind and unable to leave the Eller family's decadent life. But unfortunately, all I want is to quickly complete my training and then go see my master.
After hearing what Liu Tao said, Shen Cheng probably guessed what was going on, but he didn't interrupt Liu Tao.
"Two years later, I successfully transformed from a poor boy into a gentle and elegant young man from a wealthy family. I was completely transformed. The only things that remained unchanged were my love for magic and my longing for my master."
Liu Tao's expression grew increasingly grim. "When I asked the Ayler family about my master's life, they were hesitant and wouldn't answer. I went to where my master and I used to live, but he wasn't there. I went to look for someone he knew, and they told me that after the Ayler family took me away, they never looked after him again. Their residence and assets didn't even exist. With no one to take care of him, he didn't even make it through the cold winter."
Chen Cheng: "... Bowen, doesn't he know about this?"
Liu Tao shook his head. "My uncle was also cut off from the outside world when he was training me. He had no idea about this. If he knew, he would definitely help..."
This is precisely the reason why Liu Tao only recognizes Bowen as his relative in the entire Eller family.
Unity? Yes, the Eller family is indeed very united, but they will not even look at people who have nothing to do with them. No matter what oaths they make, they will forget them as soon as they turn around.
"After recognizing the faces of the Eller family, I found time to secretly leave the Eller family a few years later. I transferred several times and even stowed away on a ship, just to reach the place that my master longed for most and use the name that my master gave me."
"Hua Guo, Liu Tao." Shen Cheng continued.
Liu Tao nodded.
"Boss, I'm telling you this, firstly to tell you not to get too close to the Eller family, because they could stab you at any time. Secondly, I don't want you to be caught in the middle of my Eller family's affairs and act unaware of them, thus creating a barrier between you and me."
"How is that possible?"
Chen Cheng smiled and patted Liu Tao's shoulder: "I don't care whether you are the eldest son of the Eller family or not. Now you are our Chinese special investigator, Liu Tao."
A smile also appeared on Liu Tao's face: "Thank you, Boss, this is the greatest recognition for me."
The two men walked out of the room arm in arm. Liu Tao left first because he still had some gang matters to deal with.
Bowen stood there, watching Liu Tao walk away, then sighed: "Finn... you've already understood the matter between Liu Tao and the Eller family, right?"
Shen Cheng nodded without saying anything more.
"I admit that this is indeed our Eller family's problem, but from the Eller family's perspective, I still don't want you to be too prejudiced against the Eller family because of this. At least towards you, our Eller family is absolutely sincere."
"I hope so."
Shen Cheng responded casually and left.
Bowen followed Shen Cheng silently.
The situation had stabilized at this time, and there had been no unusual movements on the Spade side. Shen Cheng personally led his men to advance the front line again and occupied a new stronghold.
The distance to the core area of Spade is very close...
Chen Cheng has found time to look through Fran's memories. Spade's base is not fixed, so it is difficult to determine Spade's specific location.
Otherwise, the current Shen Cheng would definitely choose to go straight to Huanglong and take down Hei Spade directly.
As for the prince that Fran mentioned... in Fran's memory, all she could see was the back of a blonde woman.
After gaining a foothold in the new stronghold, Shen Cheng planned to wait for the awakened ones from the Eller family to arrive before continuing to advance, because if he went further, the chance of encountering vampires would greatly increase.
Chen Cheng himself was not too afraid of the vampires. After all, this was not China. At worst, he could just run away.
However, as the boss of the Four Colors, Shen Cheng has to be responsible for the members of his gang and cannot easily take risks with their lives.
They were willing to obey Shen Cheng's orders, not because they had the will of a cannon fodder, but because they had complete trust in Shen Cheng.
In a room on the second floor of the new base, Chen Cheng and several key members of Sise continued to discuss the next strategy, ensuring that every step was steady and solid.
Suddenly, Bowen, who was standing aside, suddenly widened his eyes!
