The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2820

The father and daughter duo walked through the corridors of the front courtyard and backyard one after the other before they arrived at Holden's study room.

Holden entered the room first, and Yashita followed him into the room. Holden then turned around and closed the door as he looked at Yashita with a helpless and guilty look on his face as he said," Yashita, you must forgive me for this matter. I had no choice but to compromise too..." 1

Yashita nodded and said, "Dad, I know that you're doing this out of consideration for the Harker family..."

"That's right!" Holden sighed and said, "Sigh. If it was not because of the Harker family, how could I possibly be willing to make this kind of decision? It might seem like light-hearted words, but in actual fact, this is simply a slap in my face..."

As he spoke, Holden said, "Yashita, don't blame me for this. Just like you, I also wish to replace Rosalie. So, you don't have to see the Schulz family at all in the future, and you can just go all out to continue looking for Rosalie!"

Yashita smiled bitterly as she thought to herself,' Rosalie is doing very well now, and she cannot

possibly be doing any better. So, why should I continue looking for her? However, it seems as though, Dad, the way that you're looking at the problem is a little one-sided. The Harker family has a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity right now, but this opportunity is not to attach ourselves to the Schulz family. Instead, it is for us to attach ourselves to Young Master Wade!'

Still, Yashita naturally could not say this outright. So, she planned to make gradual progress, little by little.

At this time, Holden looked at Yashita and asked seriously, "By the way, Yashita, I can see that there seems to be a great improvement in your strength, aura, and the overall feeling that you give me as a whole as compared to how you were yesterday. What happened?"

Yashita did not expect that her father could truly sense the difference. So, she spoke up and asked him," Dad, how much progress do you think I've made in my cultivation base now?"

Holden smacked his lips before he said, "Actually, I don't see any significant progress. In my opinion, you should have still only opened up two of your meridians, but I somehow seem to have a very strange feeling..."

Yashita smiled slightly as she looked at her father and spoke up as she asked, "Dad, what kind of feeling are you talking about?"

Holden thought for a moment before he spoke up,"

How should I explain this... To use an analogy, you're just like a pool of water. Right now, the surface area for the person that you are today does not seem to have changed much compared to how you were yesterday. So, it seems as though there is no change at all if I were to just look at you. However. I have this constant feeling that this pool of water seems to have deepened a lot overnight, and I have a feeling that it is bottomless. This makes me feel a little puzzled."

In truth, the metaphor that Holden had used illustrated the true changes in Yashita clearly and precisely.

Yashita's strength had indeed improved greatly, but this was mainly divided into two aspects.

The first aspect of her improvement was that all aspects of her physical strength had already developed rapidly. Her strength, speed, perception, and toughness had made great improvement and progress, but this kind of strength was simply not visible to an outsider's naked eye. Even if a person had great eyesight, it was simply impossible for a person to judge how many pounds of strength there was in a person's punch, or how fast a person could run in a hundred-meter sprint, or even to judge how strong a person's endurance was in a long-distance run simply by looking at the person externally.

So, Holden could not see Yashita's changes in these aspects.

As for the second aspect of Yashita's improvement, it was the degree of smoothness in her Ren and Du meridians, which had greatly improved from before.

Yashita's Ren meridian had initially been opened up to fifty percent, and her Du meridian had been opened up to twenty percent. 3

But now, she had already achieved a fully functional Ren meridian, and her Du meridian had already been opened up to forty percent. 12
