?Chapter 868:


    Being an understanding elder who trusted Jason’s judgment and knowing that Jason had always been level-headed and would never do anything to hurt the family, Ruben decided not to push for more information. He made a casual gesture with his hand, signaling that the topic was closed.


    “Very well, I honor your choice. Since you were six, you’ve undergone relentless training with one sacred purpose—shielding this family from harm. You’ve sacrificed too much already. Now, you seek to live for yourself without the mask, and I give you my blessing for that journey. Go forth,” Ruben dered.


    Jason bowed his head deeply in gratitude. “Thank you, Grandpa.”


    Those words hung in the air as Jason turned and left Ruben’s chambers, his footsteps carrying him toward the staircase.


    Below, the gathering had yet to disperse. The younger Evans n remained clustered together, their voices weaving through animated discussions about Lh. Taylor, who had earlier endured Ruben’s sharp rebuke before retreating upstairs, had now descended to rejoin the buzzingmotion.


    As Jason appeared on the stairs, silence fell abruptly, and every face turned toward him in stunned bewilderment.


    Jason had not revealed his true features for two decades, and now, dressed in pristine garments without his legendary mask, none of the younger Evans family members could ce him.


    “Heavens, who is this magnificent stranger?”


    “No one entered from outside, and he descended from above, so he must belong to our Evans bloodline.”


    “If he’s family, why have I neverid eyes on him before?”


    “Neither have I. What mystery is this?”<fn253e> Readplete version only at Find~Novel</fn253e>


    The younger generation couldn’t identify Jason, but Bertram and Irene, as his parents, recognized their son instantly. They stood frozen, equally shocked at seeing him bare his true face to the world.

    Irene sprang to her feet, her finger trembling as she pointed at Jason’s features. “Ja… YOU…?”


    She faltered, uncertain whether to speak his name aloud, terrified that he might have simply forgotten his mask momentarily and that calling attention to his identity would shatter his carefully guarded secret.


    Bertram rose in equal astonishment, his gaze locked on Jason’s unveiled countenance.


    Jason remained perfectlyposed, letting his gaze drift across each family member’s face before offering Irene a gentle smile. “Mom, from this moment on, I won’t be wearing the mask again.”


    The younger Evans family members’ eyes widened in pure amazement. That voice unmistakably belonged to Jason! With the distinctive tone of him calling Irene “Mom,” this mysterious figure could only be Jason himself.


    The younger Evans members erupted into excited chatter.


    “Oh my gosh, Jason has abandoned his mask forever? What sparked this sudden transformation?”


    “That’s not even the crucial point. The real point is that Jason has a face capable ofunching a thousand ships into battle!”


    “Sweet mercy. I always thought Cole’s features were the pinnacle of masculine beauty, but I never imagined Jason’s face would be equally breathtaking. Fortune smiles upon our family!”
