Nancy was indifferent and waved at Linda to calm down before turning to Micheal.

"Young Master Micheal, I wasn't aware of the significance of these knots to The Thompson family. Now that I am, I won't show the book to anyone else or teach the knotting techniques. You can rest assured on that point."

"That's good."

Micheal relaxed and waved his hand, "In that case, I'll take my leave. I need to think about how to explain this situation to my family elders. So, I'll excuse myself for now."

As soon as his figure disappeared, Charlie tightened his grip on Nancy's hand, "Nan, you need to be cautious about Micheal and anyone associated with him in the future."

"Huh?"

Nancy asked in surprise, "Why?"

Charlie's brows furrowed, and his expression turned grave, "This Micheal is no simple character, and The Thompson family is even more complicated!"

"Ah?"

Not just Nancy, but Linda was also startled.

"Mr. Firth, do you know Micheal?"

Charlie shook his head, "I don't know him personally, but when he showed up at the piano exchange meeting and deliberately approached Nan, I had him investigated, and the results were quite shocking!"

"Ah-ha?"

Nancy laughed curiously, "What do you mean? Is The Thompson family some sort of hidden, powerful clan?"

"Something like that."

Charlie didn't want to share everything he found with so many people around, so he only mentioned some less critical details.

"The Thompson family moved abroad decades ago, but it's not just about being in RYELAND. From what I've found, first and second-tier cities in Europe and America have business connections to The Thompson family. What's more frightening is that they aren't just one family but a conglomerate of many families. You could say that many families are associated with The Thompson family, growing together. Their power and influence are immense!"

Nancy immediately understood and covered her mouth in surprise, "Are you saying that many Henrianans overseas could be linked to The Thompson family?"

"Yes!"

Charlie exhaled deeply, realizing the gravity of dealing with such a family.

"For instance, during our trip to Taurus, if something serious had happened to that old man, we probably wouldn't have been able to leave Taurus. We would have faced their pursuit, and even if we tried to flee to another city or country, The Thompson family's reach would have made escape nearly impossible."

"My goodness!"

Linda's heart raced with fear, "Thank goodness the old man was alright, or else we..."

Charlie gave a wry smile, his deep eyes fixated on Nancy, "Do you remember feeling anxious back then, deciding to leave the training camp immediately? Was that just a coincidence?"

Nancy suddenly realized something, her amber eyes reflecting disbelief, "Husband, are you suggesting that my uneasiness wasn't unfounded?"

"It's likely,"

Charlie pressed his lips together, "We might have already been targeted by The Thompson family. Your intuition made us leave swiftly before they could act, catching them off guard. That's how we managed to escape from Taurus in time."
