The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5632

Mr. Chardon initially thought that Charlie was showing him the middle finger to provoke him, but his pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the ring.

Although he had never seen this ring with his own eyes before, the British Lord had described it in great detail. According to the British Lord, the ring was entirely bronze in color with a delicate luster and no decorative patterns on it. The ring was approximately 0.66 centimeters wide, and the size of the ring was suitable for an average adult male finger.

All these details matched the ring on Charlie’s finger perfectly. In addition, Merlin had taken the initiative to mention Vera and the ring, so Mr. Chardon concluded that this ring was the treasure that the British Lord had been longing for.

The British Lord once mentioned that there was a great mystery hidden within the ring, and unlocking this mystery would not only enhance one’s cultivation but would also grant the person immortality as well.

However, the British Lord might be the only person in the world who knew how to unravel this mystery. Even Vera herself might not be aware of it.

The British Lord had repeatedly stated that whoever found this ring would be the top contributor to the Qing Eliminating Society. The British Lord had also promised to impart all his lifelong knowledge to the person who found this ring without reservation and even share the mysteries within the ring with him.

For Mr. Chardon, even if he annihilated the Ackers, killed Curtis Wade’s son, or delivered Vera to the British Lord, none of these would be as important as bringing this ring back to the British Lord.

With this in mind, Mr. Chardon immediately said, “Young lad, as long as you give me this ring, I can let you and your grandparents’ family leave without suffering any pain. This is the greatest mercy I can offer you!”

Charlie retorted, “Lackey, if tell me all the specific details of the Qing Eliminating Society honestly, I might let you die with your body intact. That's the greatest mercy I can offer you!”

Mr. Chardon’s expression darkened, and he sternly exclaimed, “Young lad, you’re courting your own death!”

With that said, he summoned his wooden sword, manipulated it to create a blade, and rapidly swung it at Charlie. Charlie knew that this man was formidable, and everyone in the villa might be at risk of perishing due to the residual effects of certain techniques if he were to engage in a deadly battle with him now.

Therefore, he instantly retreated a few steps, dodging the invisible sword edge as he said to Mr. Chardon, “If you want the ring, follow me to an empty place outside so that we can battle it out. You’ll leave your head behind if you lose, but if you win, my life and the ring are yours!”

Mr. Chardon noticed Charlie’s swift movements which made it difficult for the blade of his sword to harm him, so he temporarily retracted the blade and sneered, “Young lad, are you trying to lure me away? Let me tell you, if you don’t give me the ring obediently, I will kill your grandparents and their whole family first!”

Mr. Chardon furrowed his brows and asked, “Where?”

The Acker family members were all staring intently at Charlie as they were eager to know where he had been for the past twenty years. Charlie pointed to the ground and declared loudly, “I've been in Aurous Hill for the past twenty years! I have lived here for a full twenty years now!”

“How is that possible?” Mr. Chardon frowned and said, “After your parents died, they were not the only ones looking for you, but we were looking for you as well. We searched all over Aurous Hill and found no traces of you at all!”

Charlie chuckled and said, “You could not find me because my father had already made the arrangement for me to be placed in a welfare home. After the incident, I lived in the orphanage and was completely isolated from the outside world.”

The Acker family members were shocked when they heard this. Although they had just speculated about the welfare home a few minutes ago, they still found it hard to believe that Charlie had really stayed in Aurous Hill without going anywhere else for so many years.

Mr. Chardon was stunned for a moment, and he could not help but sigh as he said, “Curtis Wade is truly an exceptionally outstanding man. Even the British Lord did not expect this…”
