The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3324

Jeremiah also believed that Porter was not just talking big since he had already waited twenty years for this day to come.

However, the conditions raised by Porter were indeed too harsh.

This was not a choice between life or death. Instead, this was a choice between prolonging one's feeble existence or an unhurried death.

If Jeremiah were to accept Porter's conditions, the members of the Wade family would definitely be able to preserve their lives.

However, all the dignity of the Wade family would then cease to exist.

And as long as the members of the Wade family were still alive, they would end up being the laughingstock of others, and they would also be mocked and ridiculed even after their deaths.

So, as a result, Jeremiah was at a loss because he was being forced to make the most difficult decision in his life.

He suddenly did not know what to do.

As for the members of the Wade family behind him, all of them were also shocked and terrified at this time.

The vast majority of the Wade family did not have any real strength of character at all. They only had money and status to back them up and so, they had always existed in the depths of their own sense of superiority. Therefore, when they were faced with the threat of death at this moment, they only wanted to live.

Whether they would be losing their image or reputation or not didn't matter to them as long as they could survive.

If things really could not work out, they would simply leave Oskia with the rest of their remaining assets and head to a place where no one knew them so that they could then live the rest of their lives in peace.

It would definitely be better for them this way as compared to dying in vain under the assassination of Ten Thousand Armies.

However, Jeremiah could not accept such a condition. 2

At this moment, Hunter looked at Jeremiah and questioned him coldly, "So, old man, have you made your decision yet? Do you agree to disagree with the conditions raised by our lord?!"

Jeremiah was placed under tremendous pressure and he slowly spoke up, "Young man, please report back to your lord and tell him that these conditions are really too harsh to the Wade family. Even if I am really willing to give up Mount Wintry to him, there are so many of the Wade family's ancestors' coffins up on Mount Wintry, and we will also need some time to

settle them down..."

As he spoke, Jeremiah paused for a moment and said seriously, "Furthermore, Curtis is my son, and as his father, I absolutely cannot leave my son's coffin in the hands of others. Besides that, I've already let him down once when he was alive, so I cannot let him down again now that he is dead!"

When Charlie heard the old man's words, he glanced at Jeremiah again. 3

Charlie had to admit that he was truly surprised because Jeremiah had actually dared to say such a sentence at this time. In addition, this also made Charlie somewhat have a change of attitude toward Jeremiah.

At this moment, Jeremiah

continued, "Also, in order to express our family's most sincere apology toward the Waldron family, I am willing to bring all the members of the Wade family to pay their respect to Leonardo and his wife after moving their coffins up to Mount Wintry. However, it is absolutely impossible for me to accept it if you expect old people like us to put on mourning clothes for his parents' burial!"

"Finally, I cannot accept the condition where I will have to give him half of my family's assets!"

"As I've said just now, I am willing to take out ten billion Oskian dollars as compensation to your lord, and if he is not satisfied, I am willing to convert the Oskian dollars to US dollars instead. However, that is already the maximum limit that I can accept!" 2

Hunter really did not expect that Jeremiah would show resistance toward every condition proposed by their lord. So, he had a sinister look on his face as he asked, "Old man, do you think that I came over here to negotiate with you today? I simply came here to convey our lord's instructions to you! You do not have any right to bargain!"

When Jeremiah heard these words,

he had the expression on his face as

if he was sacrificing himself

fervently to the cause as he said coldly, "If there is no room for bargaining, there is nothing for us to talk about anymore. If your lord is not afraid of triggering a public outrage, he can come and kill me at the Wade family old mansion, then. Anyway, I am already old, and it

would not be a shame for me to die now." 2

Charlie's uncle, Clayton, was anxious when he heard this. He said in a low voice, "Dad! You cannot be so impulsive! Ten Thousand Armies is extremely strong, and all of them are top masters. They can kill us even without blinking an eye... Even the chief bodyguard could not withstand one blow from them, not to mention ordinary people like us... You might already be old, but Felix, Hugh, and the others are all still young!" 4

Jeremiah stared at him and asked coldly, "What, then? As the eldest son of the Wade family, are you expecting me to agree to their conditions?!" 6
