The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3349

"An old acquaintance?!"

After hearing this, Sheldon had an incredulous look on his face as he said, "But I don't know anyone from Ten Thousand Armies... So, how could he be an old acquaintance of mine?"

Charlie laughed and said, "It might not be appropriate to call him an old acquaintance. I should say that he is one of your juniors, and the both of you have a pretty deep connection to each other."

"How could that be..." Sheldon felt very puzzled. He was afraid that Charlie was deliberately cooking something up in order to make things difficult for him and so, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wade... I really do not know the lord of Ten Thousand Armies... Is there some sort of misunderstanding here?"

Charlie shook his head and asked him, "Was Leonardo Waldron one of your men back then?"

Sheldon did not expect that Charlie would ask him about Leonardo, who had already been dead for twenty years.

He subconsciously said, "Yes... But Leonardo Waldron has already been dead for twenty years... What does he have to do with Ten Thousand Armies?"

Charlie laughed and said, "The lord of Ten Thousand Armies is Leonardo Waldron's son. His name is Porter

Waldron. You should still remember him, right?"

"What?!" Sheldon was shocked as if he had just been struck by lightning, and he said out loud, "Porter, he... he actually became the lord of Ten Thousand Armies?!"

"Yes." Charlie smiled and asked him, "How about that? Are you feeling very surprised and excited when you hear about this news? Do you feel as if there's instantly a glimmer of hope in this gloomy and dark life of yours at this moment?" 2

Sheldon could not help but feel a little flustered when he saw the playful look in Charlie's eyes right then.

When he heard that Porter was the infamous lord of Ten Thousand Armies, he had indeed felt very excited deep inside.

This was because his first thought was that he had Ten Thousand Armies to back him up now, and the time for him to regain his freedom was just around the corner!

However, when he saw that Charlie had a fearless expression on his face, he could not help but panic in his heart.

He thought to himself, 'Why does Charlie have such a strange smile on his face? Is he not afraid of Ten Thousand Armies at all?!'

As he thought about this, he suddenly looked at Zayne, who was beside him, and he immediately had the answer in his heart!

'Why would Charlie possibly be

afraid of Ten Thousand Armies? Ten

Thousand Armies just lost a War

King to him as well as sixteen thousand of their mercenaries. Zayne Carter was so strong, but he did not have the slightest ability to fight in front of Charlie at aff. So, with Charlie's strength and abilities, why would he even take Ten Thousand Armies seriously?'

Sheldon instantly became very decadent when he thought of this.

It seemed as though the glimmer of hope that had just lit up was now instantly extinguished.

Charlie continued saying, "Porter and you have not seen each other for twenty years, right?"

"Yes..." Sheldon nodded and spoke up, "I wanted to adopt him and bring him back home after his mother committed suicide back then, but unexpectedly, he had already been brought out of the country first. After that, I could not replace him anymore."

Charlie smiled slightly and said playfully, "In that case, I will let the both of you, who have been separated for twenty years, finally meet and reminisce about the past tomorrow!"

When Sheldon heard this, he asked nervously, "Porter, he... he's in Oskia?"

Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, "He is not only here in Oskia, but he has also grown up! He asked his men to send more than a hundred coffins to the Wade family's old mansion today, and he even said that hewanted the members of the Wade family to dress in mouthing clothes to welcome his parents' coffins that are being moved up to Mount Wintry at eight o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Otherwise, he

will destroy the entire Wade family."

As he spoke, Charlie remembered something, and he said, "Oh, that's right. He also specifically mentioned that he wanted my parents' coffins and half of the Wade family's assets. Don't you think he's pretty outstanding?" When Sheldon heard this, he only felt his brain buzzing.

He did not know why, but after seeing Charlie's appearance at this moment, Sheldon could already tell in his heart that Porter would definitely lose tomorrow!

So, Sheldon subconsciously blurted

out, "Mr. Wade, Porter... Porter must... must have some pent-up resentment and hatred toward the Wade family in his heart because of his parents' death back then. I hope that you will not hold it against him on the account that he is only taking revenge on his parents' account..." 2

Charlie raised his brows and smiled as he asked," Why? You really don't think much of him?" 6
