The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family -
Chapter 3510
No one would have expected that Charlie would change the ancestor worship ceremony which was held once every twelve years directly to once a year. After all, even though the ancestor worship ceremony was significant, it was also a laborious and costly event in itself.
So, there was an older member of the Wade family's collateral family amongst the crowd who spoke up and said, "Charlie... The ancestor worship ceremony being held once every twelve years was a rule set by our ancestors. If you were to change it to once every year, it would be too frequent, right? I personally think that it might not be a good thing for us to disturb our ancestors' peace too frequently! It would be a great disrespect to our ancestors if they are displeased!"
Charlie looked at him and said coldly, "It's precisely because it used to be held once every twelve years which is the reason why all of you with the last name Wade has long forgotten about your ancestors! All of you fled Eastcliff overnight when people said that they were going to dig up your ancestors' graves! Is that how you respect your ancestors?"
The old man's face suddenly flushed red, and he hurriedly shut his mouth.
When Charlie saw that the old man was not speaking, he questioned him, "Why aren't you saying anything?
Weren't you very good at speaking just now?"
After saying that, Charlie pointed at the Wade family's ancestral grave behind him and asked in a cold voice," Come. Come in front of our ancestors and explain properly about how exactly you showed respect to them?"
The old man was ashamed, and he said, "I... I was wrong..."
Charlie said coldly, "Don't tell me! Come out and tell it to our ancestors yourself!"
The old man could only walk out from the crowd and face more than a hundred of the Wade family's ancestors' graves as he said with great shame, "To the ancestors of the Wade family who are above, I, your unworthy grandson, Wilbur Wade, was wrong! I hope that you can forgive me!"
Charlie snorted coldly. He ignored
the old man and then continued addressing the more than seven hundred members of the Wade family's collateral families in front of him as he said sternly, "Don't think thatm bullying you as the head of the Wade family just because I'm
making demands of you when you
are members of the Wade family's collateral families!"
After saying that, Charlie pointed at Clayton, Caleb, Felix, Hugh, and the others who were kneeling on one side as he said coldly, "Open your eyes properly and take a good look at those people who are kneeling around you! All of them are the core members of the Wade family! My own eldest uncle, aunt, and also my cousins, who have made mistakes, also have to kneel here for three
days and three nights!"
As soon as these words came out, Clayton and the other core members of the Wade family lowered their heads in shame one after the other. The seven hundred or so members of the Wade family's collateral families who were aside were all dumbfounded! It was only then that they realized that Charlie was not only targeting outsiders like them.
In truth, Charlie was even more ruthless toward his own family members!
Charlie then continued saying something shocking at this time. "Moreover, I might as well tell you that most of them will be staying up on Mount Wintry for the next three years from now on to mourn for our ancestors!"
"Over the next three years, even if a knife were to fall from the sky, they are not allowed to take even half a step out of Mount Wintry!"
"Even if anyone is seriously ill and needs to stay in the ICO, I will build an ICO for him up here on Mount Wintry!"
When this group of members of the Wade family's collateral families heard this, all of them began to feel some fear. They had initially thought that Charlie was already being very cruel by making his family members kneel here for three days and three nights, but they did not expect that he would be even more ruthless than that!
At this moment, Charlie looked at them coldly before he continued saying, "So, all of you had better listen to me properly. From now on, if any of you dare to betray the Wade family or make the Wade family suffer any losses, all of you will end up with a fate that's even worse compared to them!"
When these people saw this, no one dared to raise any more objections in regards to the ancestor worship ceremony.
The reason why Charlie wanted to
hold the ancestor worship ceremony once every year was so that he could continuously strengthen their loyalty to the Wade family with a faster frequency. At the same time, he also wanted to make them understand the master-subordinate relationship between them and the Wade family. This way, they would have the idea of loyalty to the Wade family in their hearts, and this would also strengthen the Wade family's control over them.
