Chapter 4127
When Charlie heard this, he no longer knew what to say.
It sounded as if Janus had given up so much for love, but in the end, it had turned out to be all for nothing.
It could even be said that he had lost both his wife and his army.
Moreover, he was originally an elite amongst elites back in Hong Kong. His father was even willing to make sacrifices for him. Therefore, his original life was with unlimited prospects.
However, he not only had to give up everything that he had in the end, but he had also offended a rich and powerful man whom he could not afford to mess with. It was so much so that he was unable to return to Hong Kong or even live in the United States with a reasonable and legal identity.
An elite class who was at the top of society could only smuggle himself into the United States and be nestled in the dilapidated Oskiatown for more than twenty years alongside many Oskians who were working in Oskiatown illegally.
It would not be too much to say that his life had been ruined by his own decision.
As he thought of this, Charlie could not help but ask him, "Uncle Janus, have you ever regretted these things?"
Janus shook his head and smiled slightly as he said, "There is nothing to regret.
People have to be responsible for their own decisions. I really wanted to go all the way to the end with her, but I was overwhelmed by love at that time and failed to analyze the feasibility of this matter objectively and in-depth from multiple angles."
As Janus spoke, he smiled and said," People often say that heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beauty. Not to mention that I was not at all heroic at that time, but I was also young and frivolous. I always felt that love between two parties was the most important, but I failed to understand that a person would make very different decisions at different times and in different positions..."
"Some women who have been locked up in a cage for a long time will develop a yearning for nature, and they feel that it would be perfect if they could dive headfirst into nature."
"However, in actual fact, most of them do not really yearn for nature. If you let them eat too much and live too comfortably before letting them fly into nature, where they would be subjected to the wind, rain, sun, winter snow, cold, and hunger, most of them would begin to miss the old cage."
"At that time, the cage would no longer be a cage, but it would be a palace that they look up to."
As Janus spoke of this, he tapped on the desk and shook his head as he smiled wryly and said, "Unlike her, I really yearn for nature and so, it was only normal for us to part ways."
After smiling wryly for a moment,
Janus picked up the glass of wine, took a small sip, and waved his hand as he laughed and said, "But love is something that requires such reckless and desperate courage to have a soul. If everything is

calculated ten steps forward and backward before the most favorable choice is made, it would not be love but business instead. I still hope that something like love can be simpler."
Charlie was filled with a little more admiration for Janus when he heard of his open-mindedness.
After that, he asked, "Have you ever thought about returning to Hong Kong"
Janus laughed and said, "I thought about it, but Mr. Long refused to let me go back. He had originally not given up on killing me, and the offer of thirty million Hong Kong dollars

that he put out for my life was still n place even after the both of them got married. At that time, there were even people who intended to come to the United States to find my whereabouts. Mr. Golding even went to Hong Kong to talk to him once on my behalf. What Mr. Long meant is that I have become the only pillar of shame in his life. He said that he can stop hunting me down out of respect for Mr. Golding, but I also had to have some self-awareness and never return to Hong Kong in this life."
Charlie could not help but frown and say coldly, "Mr. Long is being a little too demanding."
Janus laughed and said, "It's understandable. After all, my actions really embarrassed him in Hong Kong, and for rich people, reputation is more important than anything else."
Charlie nodded slightly. He wanted to tell Janus that he could definitely help him take care of that rich man named Mr. Long if he wanted to go back.
Charlie even felt like telling Janus that he would definitely make sure that it would be impossible for anyone to get back at Janus or make a move on Janus if he was willing to cooperate with him and help him in the future.
However, Charlie thought for a moment, and he felt that it would seem too purposeful if he took the initiative to say this when this was his first meeting with Janus
Moreover, he lacked an understanding of Janus and so, he figured he might as well get acquainted with him first before slowly figuring it out.
At this time, Janus also took the
initiative to fill up the wine glass for Charlie and himself as he smiled and said, "Young Master Wade, don't just talk about me. Why don't we talk about you as well? You have been missing for so many years, and many people, including myself, have been worried about your safety. I have been unable to even take care of myself and so, I couldn't afford to look for you everywhere like Mr. Golding did..."
Charlie smiled gratefully and then told Janus about his general experiences over the years.
When Janus learned that Charlie was now the head of the Wade family, he was thrilled beyond words, and he was filled with admiration and praise as he exclaimed, "Young Master Wade, since you have already become the head of the Wade family, I believe that Master
Curtis's spirit: n heaven will definitely be very pleased!'
