At five o'clock the next morning.

There was a faint mist covering the early morning in Eastcliff because it had been raining all night as well as due to the humid climate unique to the Tomb Sweeping Festival.

After spending the entire night in front of his parents' grave, Porter forced out all the remaining residual alcohol in his body before burning three incense sticks and groveling three times in front of his parents' grave.

Immediately after that, Porter had a firm expression on his face as he said, "Dad! Mom! I'm sorry to disturb your peace and rest today! I hope that your spirits in heaven will understand and forgive me for my actions! I am going to move the both of you up to Mount Wintry today, and that will be your new resting place!"

After saying that, Porter's eyes were filled with tears. He choked up and said, "Dad! Mom! I will definitely avenge the both of you today! I will destroy Curtis Wade's bones and ashes in front of the both of you! I hope that your spirits in heaven will be able to see this!" Porter then stood up and said to his men beside him," Prepare to lift the coffins!"

"Yes, Lord!"

His subordinates around him were all wearing white mourning clothes.

All of them were the same as Porter today. They were filial sons of the Waldron family, and they were going to escort Porter's parents' coffins all the way up to Mount Wintry.

Porter also specifically hired a special theatrical troupe specializing in funerals to set out with the team at seven o'clock.

At six o'clock, Porter's parents' coffins had already been carefully lifted out of the mud, and Porter cleaned them personally.

Immediately after that, eight five-star War Generals tied the two coffins with thick hemp ropes. These eight men would lift and carry these two coffins, and they would hike all the way up Mount Wintry later.

Charlie, who had not slept all night, did not feel any fatigue at this time.

His body was filled with powerful Reiki which made him feel extremely confident deep inside. 2

At six o'clock, the alarm on Quinn's cell phone rang. Quinn, who had been resting her head and sleeping against Charlie's shoulder for the whole night, immediately woke up in shock as if she had just been struck by lightning. After that, she was only relieved when she saw that Charlie was still beside her. She spoke up and asked, "Brother Charlie, when did you wake up?"

Charlie smiled faintly. "I just woke up."

Quinn hurriedly stood up. She moved her somewhat stiff body and asked him, "Brother Charlie, what time are you leaving today?"

Charlie looked at the time and smiled as he said," Soon. Mr. Thompson will come and pick me up in twenty minutes. I have to rush up to Mount Wintry before seven o'clock."

"Okay!" Quinn hurriedly said, "In that case, I will go and wash up now!"

At this moment, Yule and his wife also walked out.

Although Yule had gotten drunk last night, he had woken up very early today, and he was in great spirits.

When he saw Charlie, Yule smiled and said, "Charlie, are you ready?"

Charlie smiled and said, "I'm always ready." 3

Yule nodded and said excitedly, "In that case, your Aunt Golding and I will accompany you up to Mount Wintry!"

Quinn looked at her father and blurted out, "Dad! I want to go too!"

Yule smiled and said, "You have to ask Charlie about that. What I say doesn't count!"

Quinn hurriedly hugged Charlie's arm as she said coquettishly, "Brother Charlie, please bring me along with you, okay?!"

Charlie nodded and said, "It's okay

y it

you want to go, but you have to be obedient, and you must behave yourself and stay by my side. Can you remember that?"

Quinn said excitedly, "I will! Don't worry, Brother Charlie. I'll behave myself and stay by your side!"

Charlie smiled slightly and said, "Alright, then. Hurry up and wash up. The car will arrive in twenty minutes."

Meanwhile, in the Wade family's old mansion.

No one in the Wade family had slept at all last night.

Charlie's 'half' answer had left Jeremiah sleeplessly tossing and turning on his bed all night.

Although Stephen could actually sleep peacefully without feeling any anxiety, he was too excited, and he had not slept all night. 2

Last night, Clayton, Caleb, and some

others had also secretly discussed

this matter. They were all afraid that Lord Wade would want to fight. against Porter after being too. enthusiastic and losing his cool on

Mount Wintry today.

Therefore, they had sent Hugh to out overnight to buy a batch of mourning clothes which they

intended to take up to Mount Wintry with them. 12
