CHAPTER 664 LEO’S ORIGIN (II)
Douglas said and his gaze suddenly fell on the golden identity badge in Leo's hand.
Leo and Lydia also looked at the badge in surprise, and suddenly, Lydia's heart pounded nervously.
For an absurd thought had suddenly formed in her mind.
"From the Pompeii imperial family?"
Leo himself was surprised for a moment.
Then, in his mind, he thought about Douglas's reaction earlier, and it was indeed too much.
In order to reclaim the identity badge in his hands, not only was he willing to pay three times the price
for it, but he was also willing to invest more in L Group!
If it were just a badge from Leo, it would not have reached this level.
However, if it is the identity badge of the Pompeii imperial family, it is very necessary.
"How do you know?"
Leo asked with a gaze as he surveyed Douglas.
Douglas pulled out his identity badge: "There is a difference between the identity badge of the Cohen
Clan and the Imperial Clan of Pompeii."
Leo took a closer look and could really see the difference.
The identity badge of the Pompeii imperial family is a little more dazzling.
"So you just want to have it back."
Leo asked.
Douglas nodded, "Yes, I have reversed myself and should not have sold this badge in the first place
rashly."
Leo wanted to laugh as he listened.
Previously, at the Hopkins auction, he auctioned off this identity badge for 1.5 billion, and at the time,
many people laughed at him for being stupid and having too much money.
Now that Douglas has personally uncovered the true source of this badge, he's simply making a killing!
"But what does this have to do with my birthright?"
Soon, Leo asked another question.
Douglas fell into silence, as if hesitating whether to say anything or not.
But looking at Leo's slightly glazed look, he intended to say it anyway.
"Do you believe in fate?"
Douglas looked at Leo and suddenly asked such a vague question.
Even Lydia froze.
She raised her eyebrows and was about to speak out.
Leo, however, spoke out with a calm expression, "I believe it."
"Two people who are determined by fate will eventually run into each other, even if they are separated
for a long time."
At this moment, Leo's expression was incomparably serious.
Lydia opened her mouth, but kept it shut.
Having been well educated since childhood, she is an atheist, not to mention a believer in such
absurdities as fate.
But there were some things that she couldn't really argue with.
Five years ago, she lost her virginity to Leo, but five years later, she became the wife of Leo.
Fate has bound the two of them together so tightly that even if they are separated for five years, they
will eventually come together.

"I believe it too."
Douglas sighed and said, "Regarding this identity badge, I have looked up the information and it
existed in my Cohen Clan more than twenty years ago, only at that time, I was not the head of the
Cohen Clan yet, I was just a very mediocre member of the younger generation of the Cohen Clan."
"Something happened then, the Maiden of the Pompeii imperial family came to my Cohen Clan and
handed over an identity badge, and it just so happened that I was the one who opened the door to the
Maiden that day, and she asked me to give the badge to the head of the Cohen Clan and spoke a
prophecy."
"Prophecy?"
Leo was astonished.
Douglas nodded: "Yes, the maidens who came out of Pompeii imperial family were all capable of
divination and prophecy. She told the then head of the family to keep this badge well, and if fate was
right, someday in the future, this badge would once again return to the hands of the owner to whom it
belonged, and this badge would see his master become the King and rule over the world."
"Not a single person believed it at the time, when it happened that a powerful person from the Pompeii
imperial family came and shot down that Maiden, everyone thought that Maiden was talking nonsense,
and no one took it to heart, and the head of the family at the time casually put the badge in the utility
room and forgot about it over time."
After hearing what Douglas said, Leo could not calm his heart for a long time and subconsciously
looked down at this identity badge.
He was truly amazed by that prophecy.
As for Lydia, she had long since been dumbfounded.
"And then what?"
Returning to his senses, Leo pursued the question.
"Then, because the servant rediscovered the badge and everyone had forgotten what had happened
over twenty years ago, the badge was auctioned off."
"Everyone thought it would be the three giants of Hopkins who would auction off this badge, but as it
turned out, it was you who did it."
Speaking of this, Douglas's eyes changed as he looked at Leo, "By now, you should also sense that
things are not right, yes?"
Leo did not say anything, just looked at the identity badge incredulously.
The comparison of this event with the prophecy of more than twenty years ago is simply fascinating to
contemplate.
"You mean that I am the owner of this badge?"
Leo said.
Douglas shook his head, "I'm not sure, but one thing is for sure, this identity badge is not ordinary, no
matter what the price paid, this badge must be recovered."
In other words, if everything is really as Leo says it is, then this badge is, indeed, the key to uncovering
Leo's origins.
Douglas paused and his face finally became sincere, "Leo, my Cohen Clan has no intention of being
your enemy, and I can even apologize on behalf of my grandson for offending you, but this identity
badge, no matter what, must be sold to me!"
"Because this badge doesn't belong to you, but to the Pompeii imperial family, and it needs to wait for
its true owner."
After a long silence, Leo asked, "Did the maiden who gave the badge say anything else, such as what
characteristics the owner of this badge had?"
For according to William, when he was adopted as a child, he had a beautiful handwriting written on his
left and right palms.
This was precisely why William named him 'Leo'.
It is not difficult to see from this that it must have been his mother who wrote those two words.
She must have something to hide ......
However, Douglas shook his head, "It's been over twenty years since this happened, there's no one
who remembers it long ago, it's sincere enough that I can remember this, sell me the badge now!"
After saying that, a touch of anger vaguely appeared on Douglas's face.
He had said so much and even told the secret of the Cohen family, if Leo still didn't sell him the badge,
then he would really be mad.
Leo was silent for a long time and put the identity badge back into his pocket.
"I'm sorry, but since you said that this badge would be the key to unlocking my life, it's priceless and I
can't sell it to you."
"You ......"
Douglas was furious, and at the same time, he wanted to slap himself, why did he say such things?
Leo picked him up directly and threw him to those Leo's bodyguards with an indifferent expression,
"For the sake of you telling me where this badge came from, I won't hurt you, leave in peace."
Douglas's face was unpleasant, he was completely enraged.
However, the bodyguards took him anyway.
It was as if a wild beast was dormant in Leo's body, and he had to get away before he became angry.
After Douglas left, Leo was silent for the whole afternoon.
Even when Emilia came back from school and ran over to play with Leo, Leo was perfunctory.
More often than not, it is Leo who stands alone on the balcony, looking up at the stars in the sky.
The pale moonlight spilled down, and Leo's face was expressionless, but deep in his eyes, there was a
faint touch of sorrow.
Suddenly, there was a soft body behind him, hugging him gently from behind.
Leo turned around to see that Lydia had changed into her home clothes and was gently hugging him.
"Still thinking about your parents?"
Lydia looked up and asked.
Leo laughed and did not say anything.
"I sent Emilia to bed."
When Lydia finished, she gently rested her head on Leo's broad back.
"Tigers don't eat their children, and I'm sure your parents aren't the kind of people who would abandon
you."
When Lydia said this, Leo was in a slightly better mood and smiled lightly.
He also showed his heart as he casually sat down on the side and looked at the bright moon in the sky
and said, "In fact, sometimes I envy you and Marie, no matter how fractious your parents are, they
ultimately care about you, I don't even know what my parents are called or what they look like."
"But I don't hate them because they gave me life and brought me into this world and I just want to ask
them why they abandoned me, that's all."
Leo's tone was flat, but Lydia heard a faint sense of loss.
Lydia didn't let Leo say any more and shook her head, "Honey, whatever you want to do, I will support
you."
She knew very well what his parents meant to this man.
He was just born and had a life unlike any other.
He has no father and no mother, and his life as a foster child has left him so confined that even a sip of
water or a mouthful of food has to be taken with trepidation.
Caroline's mother, Rebecca, did not treat him well and often cursed him, which he could only suffer in
silence.
However, he remained grateful and chose to become the live-in son-in-law for the betterment of the
family.
He has no very strong backers and has to rely on himself.
Leo's eyes became solemn: "You're right, since the parents don't come to the children, then the
children will come to the parents, the truth will always come out."
It is the code of conduct of Leo to repay revenge when there is revenge, to repay grievances when
there is grudge and to repay kindness when there is grace.
Lydia said softly, "We have a common goal, that is Valenham, you to find your parents, I to make
achievement."
"All things, I'll face them with you."
"I will accompany you to meet your parents, and if they are heartless, you cannot be unjust, for they
have given you life, and you need not grieve, for you have us."
Lydia's words have enlightened Leo.
He grabbed Lydia's hand and nodded, "Okay."
A text message came from Sharon.
"The old Commander of Wyverns has invited us to be his guests at the Valenham Holmes Clan in three
days' time."
