The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5605

In the midst of his contemplation, he suddenly received an online call from the British Lord. His expression changed to surprise, and he quickly answered the call, respectfully saying, “Hello, British Lord.”

On the other end of the phone, the cold voice questioned sternly, “Mr. Chardon, when did you arrive in Aurous Hill?”

Mr. Chardon hurriedly replied, “British Lord, I arrived in Aurous Hill this morning.”

The British Lord continued, “It should be late at night there now. You've been in Aurous Hill for over fifteen hours, so why haven't you dealt with the Ackers yet?”

Mr. Chardon’s heart skipped a beat, and he said, “British Lord, I just arrived in Aurous Hill today and haven't had a chance to familiarize myself with the environment yet…”

The British Lord pressed on, “Haven't I already told you that the Ackers are residing in the villa at Willow Manor? You only need to arrive at Willow Manor late at night and eliminate them all to avoid any complications in the future. It's a simple task; what more do you need to familiarize yourself with?”

Mr. Chardon hastily explained, “British Lord, I might need a bit more time. I need to gather detailed information about the Ackers. Otherwise, if someone is not at Willow Manor and manages to escape, it could complicate matters.”

The British Lord said coldly, “Keith Acker and his wife, along with their three sons and one daughter, are all at the villa at Willow Manor tonight! It's the perfect opportunity for you to strike! It's currently 2:00 a.m. in the morning where you are now. If you leave now, you can arrive before daybreak and send the Ackers on their way before dawn!”

Mr. Chardon said respectfully, “British Lord, you asked me to investigate the whereabouts of Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker’s son. I haven't found any leads yet. If I act against the Ackers now, that young man might go into hiding, and we'll lose any chance of finding him then.”

The British Lord snorted coldly, “You just need to kill Keith, his wife, and their three sons and one daughter, and that young man named Charlie Wade will naturally appear!”

Mr. Chardon asked in surprise, “British Lord, may I ask why you're so certain?”

The British Lord explained coldly, “According to the predetermined inheritance sequence of the Ackers’ assets, once Keith, his wife, and their children meet an untimely end, the Ackers’ wealth will be divided in half. One half will be inherited by the grandchildren of their three sons and one daughter, and the other half will be inherited by Ashley’s son, Charlie Wade. In other words, once they are gone, Charlie Wade will become the largest inheritor of the Ackers’ wealth, which amounts to trillions of US dollars. Such a significant event would cause a sensation worldwide. As long as that young man is alive, he won't be able to resist the temptation of such an inheritance. He will surely appear to claim this huge legacy, regardless of where he is. When that happens, you can easily eliminate him, then!”

Therefore, the best solution was for the British Lord to grant him a few more days to thoroughly investigate the lead from Zachary. After that, he could deal with the Ackers without any distractions.

Just as he was hesitating and unsure of how to request more time from the British Lord, the British Lord sternly questioned, “Mr. Chardon, since I sent you to Aurous Hill, you've been evading and delaying. Now that I've asked you to act against the Ackers, you still haven't given me a clear answer. Could it be that you are having second thoughts about the Qing Eliminating Society?”

Mr. Chardon was startled, and he felt a chill down his spine, almost as if countless needles had pierced his skin, causing a sharp pain throughout his back. He could only say humbly, “British Lord, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m wholeheartedly loyal to the Qing Eliminating Society, and I would never entertain thoughts of betrayal. However, there's one matter I haven't had the chance to report to you!”

The British Lord stated coldly, “Speak!”

Mr. Chardon pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and began, “British Lord, I happened to acquire a magic instrument in Aurous Hill today!”
