The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

would not have left our hometown for Aurous Hill, and you would not have met with the murderous disaster,

then..."

Charlie was filled with emotions as he gazed at his parents’ photos. He could not help but say softly, "Dad, | am

the head of the Wade family now. If Grandpa had passed on the position as the head of the Wade family to you

earlier back then, | think that you and Mom "Dad, Mom, please rest assured that as your son, | will definitely find

out the identity of the murderer who killed the both of you back then and avenge your deaths!"

As Charlie spoke of this, he looked at his father's handsface in the portrait, and he choked up as he said,

"Dad... | know that you have always wanted to develop the Wade family and bring the Wade family forward so

that the Wade family can stand on top of the world. Now, | have decided to carry your banner, and one day, | will

definitely make sure that the Wade family will becthe top family in this world!"

After saying that, Charlie looked at his mother's portrait again, and he was ashamed as he said, " Mom... All of

them advised and persuadedto go and meet with my grandparents. | believe that you would also wantto

go and see them. However, it's just that I've really had very little interactions with my grandfather and

grandmother before this, and now

that you're no longer here, | really do not know how to face both of them. So, this matter might not be possible

for the tbeing. | hope that you can forgive _-n

me...

After that, Charlie subsequently leaned forward and grovelled three times in front of his parents’ tombstone.

Immediately after that, he then said, "Dad, Mom, I'll keep the both of you company a little longer today. | may

have to return to Aurous Hill tomorrow. | am not ready to disclose my identity for now, and it would not be

appropriate forto stay in Eastcliff for a long time. However, | will make sure to make tto cand see

the both of you more often in the future..."

After saying that, Charlie then said, "When | formally disclose my identity to the world in the future, I will

definitely bring your daughter-in-law here together withso that the both of you can take a look at your son's

other half. That way, the both of you will also be more at ease."

At this point, Charlie already felt very melancholic in his heart as his tears quietly slipped down.

Over the next few hours, Charlie did not say anything else but instead, he silently knelt in front of his parents’

grave for a long twithout saying a word.

The members of the Wade family could only see his back from below. No one knew that this man who had just

subdued Ten Thousand Armies and completely changed the pattern of the Northern Europe royal family based on

his own power and ability had already burst into tears in front of his parents’ grave.

A few hours later, most of the members of the Wade family's collateral families had already grovelled all the way

up to the archway on the mountain.

When they saw that there was also a group of the core members of the Wade family kneeling, all of them were a

little dumbfounded.

Before they could even figure out why the core members of the Wade family were also kneeling on the ground,

all of them were already berated by the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies to kneel again.

As more and more people cup, the archway on Mount Wintry was almost full with people kneeling.

At this time, it was also getting late, and the golden sunset spread over the entire Mount Wintry, making the

white marble tombstones on Mount Wintry look particularly eye-catching.

The setting sun on the horizon reflected on Charlie's back, and everyone watched him intently as they waited for

his next instruction.

It was just the figure of his back kneeling there, motionless for several hours, making him look like a sculpture.

Just as the sunset was reflecting and making the clouds look fiery red in the sky, Charlie slowly stood up. He

turned around and saw the members of the Wade family who were kneeling and so, he slowly walked down from

the tomb.

The core members as well as the members of the

Wade family's collateral families were all looking at him. The vast majority of them were all acting very

apprehensively aside from Jeremiah and Charlotte who had a look of anticipation on their faces.

Charlie cand stood before the

crowd. After looking around, he said coldly, "From today onward, the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony

will be changed from

once every twelve years to be net

held once a year! The rituals can be simplified, but everyone will have to cup to Mount Wintry in person on

the day of the Tomb Sweeping Festival. No one is allowed to be absent!"

"In addition, all the members of the Wade family's collateral families must cto Eastcliff once every. three

months for a debriefing

meeting to report the business net

situation over the past three months in detail to the head of the family. No exceptions! Do you understand me?!"

In Charlie's opinion, these members of the Wade family's collateral families were all vassal kings who

only cover to pay their respects to the Wade family once every twelve years. This frequency was indeed too

low, and it was also because of this that they did not have any loyalty to the Wade family at all. This was also the

reason why the Wade family had no actual control over them.

However, all of this had to be changed completely

from now on.

The reason why Charlie was asking them to cfor the ancestor worship ceremony every year and give a

report once every three months was so that he could strengthen the core Wade family's control over them.

If the Wade family was to be compared to a feudal dynasty, what Charlie was doing now was to strengthen the

centralized power and to weaken the local decentralization. He wanted to hold all of these vassal kings who were

scattered everywhere firmly in his hands!
