Shaun now had the body of Rong Bailun, who was a Chinese man in his 40s.
There was no way Harvey could father a Chinese son. Moreover, this fellow looked even older than him.
Shaun hurriedly said, "Dad, you're really my father. I'm Shaun! I'm not lying to you! I traveled back in time 40 years from the future!"
"40 years from the future? Time travel?"
Harvey was dumbfounded. He was from 1978 and had never seen a time-travel show nor even read a time-travel novel. He was very unfamiliar with the concept.
But it was a good thing that Harvey had experienced some magical things in his life. He didn't think it was too far-fetched, unlike if he was an ordinary middle-aged man from a rural town.
He knew that there were many magical things in this world.
Harvey said, "You're too good at bullshitting. Even if you really came from 40 years later, my son is Caucasian. It's impossible for him to turn into a Chinese, right?"
Shaun said, "Dad, give me some time. I'll explain it to you. It's like this..."
With that, Shaun told his father everything that had happened over the years. Including how he had switched minds with Rong Bailun and how he had come to this era through a time machine.
He told Harvey about Jordan being a Deity.
For an entire hour, Harvey listened until his head hurt. The shock in his heart was incomparable.
"This body belongs to Rong Bailun? You switched minds with him? Jordan and Rong Huangde traveled back in time with you just to uncover the secrets of our Handley family? Oh my god, is this world that crazy? How can so many magical things happen?" Harvey said in disbelief.
Shaun said, "Dad, I know it's very difficult for you to believe all of this, but I'm really not lying to you. I have photos of me living with Mom in Switzerland. Look."
He took out some photos from his pocket. They were photos of him and his mother when they were alive.
Shaun turned on the flashlight, allowing Harvey to see clearly. When Harvey looked at the photos, he was surprised to see Shaun and his mother in them.
"This man looks like me when I was young! Also, is this woman really my wife after she grows old? She looks so similar!"
Shaun was still a baby in 1978. It was difficult to imagine what he would look like after he grew up.
On the other hand, Harvey's wife was already an adult in 1978 and the foundation of her appearance was already set. Even after 40 years into the future, one would still be able to tell it was her under all those wrinkles.
Therefore, Harvey was certain that the old lady in the photo was his wife!
"Are you really Shaun?"
Finally, Harvey began to believe Shaun after seeing the photos.
Shaun nodded. "Dad, I'm really Shaun. Mom taught me the nursery rhyme and told me the story of you and Uncle. I remember everything! I came here to ask you to help me! As long as you and Uncle help me kill Jordan and Rong Huangde, I will become the master of the world when I return to the present!
"Don't you want your son to rule the world in the future?"
Of course, Harvey hoped that his son would be so successful.
