The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

After Charlie and the Wade family had finished briefly paying their respects to their ancestors, Charlie arrived at Shangri-La with his grandfather, Jeremiah, and his youngest aunt, Charlotte. As they were preparing to host the banquet for all Charlie's friends and relatives who had come up to Mount Wintry today, the public who had been paying close attention to the situation on Mount Wintry had already received the news. They learned that the Wade family had finally compromised with Ten Thousand Armies, and none of the people who did not know the inside story doubted the authenticity of the news.

After all, no matter how powerful these wealthy families were, they could not possibly be able to defeat Ten Thousand Armies. This was the basic consensus of everyone.

What was more, the lord of Ten Thousand Armies had a deep hatred and grudge against the Wade family and would definitely not forgive the Wade family members.

As for the Wade family's collateral family members who had fled overnight, all of them felt incomparably grateful deep in their hearts after receiving the news.

They were grateful that they had reacted quickly and fled fast enough, thus avoiding the catastrophe.

However, aside from feeling grateful that they had escaped a catastrophe, they were all also extremely worried about their future.

These collateral families were all dependent on the Wade family for survival, and the main source of income for many of these collateral families was the business that the Wade family had rewarded to them.

After all, each collateral family branched out from the main family itself. This was just like how Jeremiah's younger brother, James, had had to consciously leave the Wade family and go out to stand on his own after Jeremiah had become the head of the family.

Jeremiah naturally could not ignore and completely disregard his younger brother out of compensation or out of family affection. On the contrary, he would give him as many resources as he possibly could so that James would not have the idea of fighting Jeremiah for the position as the head of the family, and at the same time, it was also so that these distant relatives of theirs could rush and come to the Wade family's aid when there was a need.

The reasoning behind this was just like how the crown prince would arrange for his other brothers to be the vassal kings after he had ascended to the throne in ancient times.

For these collateral families, as soon as they lost the Wade family, who was their biggest support, their own future development would also be greatly affected.

Nevertheless, before they could even catch their breaths, Ten Thousand Armies then released the news to the public, asking for all the Wade family's collateral family members whose names were on the list of names for the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony to kneel and gather at the foot of Mount Wintry before eight o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Ten Thousand Armies would conduct a worldwide hunt for those who failed to arrive by that time!

As soon as this news was released, these collateral families were even more surprised and horrified.

Everyone did not expect that Ten Thousand Armies would not be satisfied after conquering the Wade family. They actually wouldn't even let the Wade family's collateral families off! The Wade family's collateral families also felt extremely desperate.

The feeling of surviving a huge catastrophe did not last long, and it was immediately replaced with despair like that of a monk who had been unable to run away from the temple.

The list of names for the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony had long recorded their names, identity, and information in great detail.

For example, the person's name, age, which generation the person was from, where the person's family is, who the person's parents are, who the person's grandfather was, and which branch of the

Wade family's branch the person originated from had to be written clearly with a brush dipped in cinnabar.

This was because this big-name list would be burnt for the ancestors to see after the ancestor worship ceremony and so, no one would dare to fool around when it came to this list.

Now that this name list had already

fallen into the hands of Ten

Thousand Armies, this would be the

same as everyone's life being firmly grasped by Ten Thousand Armies. Even if they wanted to run, there was no way for them to run.

These people knew of Ten Thousand Armies' strength very well. It would be extremely easy

if

Ten Thousand Armies wanted toet

assassinate them. So, no one dared to disobey Ten Thousand Armies' command.

Therefore, these people could only bite the bullet and rush back apprehensively.

James' son and grandson also received the news through the satellite network on the private plane back to Canada.

Ten minutes after receiving the news, the plane made a U-turn directly at a height of ten thousand meters and turned around to return to Eastcliff.

Meanwhile, Charlie had already filled his wine glass and thanked all his friends and relatives who were present one by one at the banquet hall in Shangri-La.

His friends and relatives, including Yule, his father's best friend when he was still alive, were all looking at Charlie as if they were looking at God now. The first person to whom Charlie offered a toast to was Yule.

In Charlie's eyes, Yule was most worthy of his respect, and Yule was also an elder who had treated him the best.

Therefore, Charlie felt extremely grateful because Yule's family of three had come up to Mount Wintry today.

Yule was also very excited to the

point that he could not hide his excitement for a long time, and he could not calm down as he said to Charlie, "Charlie, now that you have already taken Ten Thousand Armies under your command, the strength of the Wade family is already the first amongst many families in the country! If we look around the world, your Wade family could at least be amongst the top ten families!"
