Zade isn’t exactly a common surname, but there’s more than one Zade in the world—just like there’s more than one Yang besides Jill Young. But the moment Jill Young heard this dashing young man say his name here in the memory world, she was instantly, absolutely, and positively convinced—this guy was none other than the legendary Zade Senior!
It was a gut feeling, a judgment that made no sense, but Jill Young was dead certain—this was the guy who fathered a whole mess of troublemaking kids for her, banished Jonathan Black without a second thought, masterminded the rise of the Zade Family into the most powerful family on Earth, built a super-conglomerate with unfathomable influence, and… the man who got Aunt Joan Morrow killed. The stuff of legends—no doubt about it, it’s him!
After all this time, after such a long wait just hearing the name and never seeing the man—finally, she’s met him!
No exaggeration: from the moment Eternal Night Holdings Group’s Hong Kong Division was founded, Zade Senior became their number one enemy. At least half the plans, strategies, and schemes Jill Young cooked up for Eternal Night Holdings Group were aimed at dealing with Zade Senior. Elevating him to the same level of importance as global chaos shows just how much the founder of Eternal Night Holdings Group cared about this guy.
His daily whereabouts, residences, number of body doubles, medical records, and physical condition—this kind of high-level intel is totally out of reach for Eternal Night Holdings Group, even with all their spy power.
Jill Young was mentally prepared for this. After all, even the whole United States spent years failing to track down a single Taliban leader. Eternal Night Holdings Group’s intelligence network isn’t even in the same league as the US military, and Zade Senior is on a whole other plane compared to her own side. Even the Chosen Ones’ mysterious powers can’t bridge that gap. Otherwise, Jill would’ve just stormed in and grabbed the old geezer herself—way easier than all this fuss over the Heart of Tiberius.
Forget about high-level intel, what about the basics? Zade Senior’s a super tycoon, famous all across America—he can’t possibly live in a total vacuum, right?
But here’s the creepy part: no matter how hard they search or dig for intel, Jill Young’s side knows absolutely nothing about Zade Senior! Not his age, not his looks, not even his full name—Eternal Night Holdings Group couldn’t find a single scrap of info! Even his own sons, Jonathan Black and Donald Zade, barely have any impression of him.
In this age of information, in this era of social media, that’s just plain terrifying.
Zade Senior obviously isn’t some phantom—he’s got to interact with people. Take Professor Orlando, for example, he’s met the guy. But whatever tricks Zade Senior used, Orlando only remembers making a deal with someone like that. As for the details? He can’t recall a single thing. It’s like that chunk of memory got pixelated by some freaky force.
