spot,

then.

They intended to change into their mourning clothes and turn their backs to switch allegiance directly on the spot in case Lord Wade truly refused to submit and admit defeat when the time came. They would also agree to all of Ten Thousand Armies' requirements on the In any case, their lives were the most important.

Jeremiah did not have any confidence in his heart either. He could only gather everyone so that they could head up to Mount Wintry first while he placed all of his hopes on Charlie.

***

At 6.20 am, Charlie got into Stephen's car. The three members of the Golding family were seated in another car driven by Yule himself as they headed up to Mount Wintry together with Charlie. 2

As he drove, Stephen said to Charlie, "Young Master, last night, Young Master Felix and Young Master Hugh, as well as your fourth uncle and eldest aunt, secretly slipped out of the house. My men followed them all the way and found out that they were buying varying quantities of mourning clothes from different places."

Charlie sneered and spoke up as he said, "Good! After I deal with Porter, I will discipline and punish all these

unworthy sons, daughters, and grandchildren of the Wade family properly!"

Stephen then said again, "Young Master, there is another matter. It is related to the members of the Wade family's collateral family who were at Shangri-La hotel. They have been fleeing one after the other since the afternoon yesterday, and almost all of them have basically run away by now." 3

Charlie nodded gently and said indifferently, "This is all expected. It's okay. I will settle this score with them after I take over the Wade family."

As he spoke, Charlie then asked again, "By the way, Mr. Thompson, do these members of the Wade family's collateral family have any business connections with the Wade family?" 3

"Of course." Stephen hurriedly said, "Most of their businesses are related to Wade Organization. Most of them are suppliers and distributors below us, and at least half of their profits come directly from Wade Organization."

Charlie nodded in satisfaction and said, "It would be much easier, then. In this society nowadays, there are not many people who still care about family honor. So, we have to have the upper hand on their interests in order to make sure that they will submit obediently."

6.45 am.

The early morning after the rain was a little chilly.

Charlie rode in Stephen's car as they drove through the gate of Mount Wintry.

At this time, there were more than thirty middle-aged men whose hair was already a little gray outside the gate. They were all dressed uniformly in black suits as they stood in three rows in the middle of the road.

Out of these thirty men, the oldest seemed to look more than sixty years old, and the youngest seemed to be about forty years old.

They looked extremely solemn and awe-inspiring, and at the same time, they had a look on their faces that made it seem as though they were facing death without flinching.

When Stephen's car came to the front, these thirty men immediately moved to the sides to make way for a passage.

Charlie suddenly realized that one of the men amongst the thirty men outside was actually the dean of the original Aurous Hill Welfare Institute! 2

This dean was Mr. Caito, and he was

also one of Stephen's men. Mr. Caito had been transferred to the orphanage as the dean not long after Charlie had just gotten into the orphanage. He had only left his position as the dean some. time ago after working in that position for nearly twenty years.

After recognizing Mr. Caito, Charlie then asked Stephen, "Mr. Thompson, these men were all my father's subordinates back then, right?" Stephen nodded. "That's right. All of them."

Charlie hurriedly said, "Stop the car quickly."

Stephen stopped the car immediately.

Charlie had already pushed the car door open and walked out even before Stephen could come down to open the car door for him.

When the group of men outside saw that it was Charlie who had come, they were all immediately very surprised and excited. Many of them were already in tears. "Young Master! You're back!"

"Young Master! It's really you..."

"Young Master!" 3

All the people were a little emotional for a while.

Unlike Mr. Caito, who had been the dean of the orphanage, the others had not seen Charlie for so many years.

Although they knew that Charlie had

been living in Aurous Hill all this

time, all of them had not seen him because they had been adhering to the principle of not abruptly disturbing Charlie's life.

However, Charlie really looked so much like his father, Curtis.

Therefore, everyone recognized him immediately as soon as Charlie got out of the car.

When Charlie saw that all of these elders had flushed red eyes, he felt that there was a layer of mist clouding his eyes as well.

After that, he looked at the crowd,

knelt on one knee, and wrapped one

of his hands around his fist as he

said in a loud and serious voice, "Uncles, all of you have worked hard all these years! Please accept my deep respect for all of you!
