At that time, Lota had just been born, so she didn't know the exact situation. She only knew that the demon Shaun controlled their family. She didn't realize that as a secret family, it was impossible for someone like Shaun to get close to the Schmids.
Shaun would need someone from another secret family to introduce him to them so that he could gain their trust.
Unexpectedly, this person was Jordan's uncle Randall!
Jordan could tell that Lota was very angry. Anyone would be very angry about this. However, Jordan didn't want Lota and Randall to become enemies. After all, they were his family.
So Jordan comforted Lota. "Lota, I believe Uncle didn't know Shaun's motive at that time. He was coerced by Shaun. Moreover, you know how devious Shaun is. Even without my uncle, he would just find someone else to infiltrate your family."
Randall also spoke up. "Jordan is right. I wasn't the only one he knew. He was also friends with the second generation of the Haus family."
Lota kept silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, since Jordan has spoken up for you, I won't blame you."
Randall nodded at Lota. "Thank you."
He then continued. "After that, I was no longer useful to Shaun. Therefore, he asked his wife, Clara, to kill me. Fortunately, I was always on guard against Shaun and his wife. I had a friend who was always secretly protecting me. After Clara thought that she had killed me and left, my friend appeared in time and saved me from the gates of hell.
"From then on, I went into hiding. I was disheartened and no longer had any ambition. I left the family matters to my elder brother. I didn't want to do anything. I just want to be a hermit in the mountains and spend the rest of my life there..."
Hearing this, Jordan's heart ached for Randall.
Jordan said, "Uncle, my father told me himself that his heart ached when he found out that you were dead. He also said that he regretted fighting with you. He said that he couldn't compare to you and that you would have definitely managed the family better than he did. You really should have returned to the family back then. We're family, after all."
Jordan had experienced fighting with Jesse for the position of head of the family. He knew very well that even brothers would fight to the death for status.
However, this did not mean that one of them was a bad person or that they did not care about their relationship.
Randall was touched. "He... really said that?"
Jordan nodded sincerely.
Randall sighed and drank a glass of wine. He continued. "Perhaps this is fate! If I had returned to the family back then, I wouldn't have discovered the secret of the Immortal Lake! I wouldn't have established the powerful Mutant Tribe today! Jordan, do you still remember that I brought you to the Immortal Lake at Mount Denali when you were very young?"
Jordan nodded. "I remember."
Randall smiled. "You are a Deity now and have the ability to predict the future because I brought you to the Immortal Lake back then! Jordan, you're also a member of our Mutant Tribe!"
Jordan was stunned. Randall attributed his Deity ability to the Immortal Lake?
Actually, this was a good explanation. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person like Jordan predict the future?
However, he went to Immortal Lake more than 10 years ago. Why did Jordan not have the ability to predict the future over the past ten years?
Moreover, Jordan did not recall entering the lake at all.
