He had already been separated from his parents for eighteen years!
Charlie was also feeling very anxious at this time.
In fact, he had not felt this kind of panic and eagerness for a very long time ever since he had obtained the. s
His parents were buried in one of the magnificent mausoleums which were not too far away from him. A s soon as he walked up these one hundred steps, he would finally be able to pay his respects to his parents, and he would finally be able to fulfill the biggest dream he had had in the past eighteen years o f his life.
However, if these people refused to let him go up the steps, he could not possibly rush up there, right?
Or, should he simply reveal his identity to the Wade family?
If that were the case, he would be able to pay his respects to his parents today, but after that, there would be abundant trouble and catastrophe awaiting him.
Just then, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded," Let him go up!"
Everyone turned around to look in the direction of the
voice. At this time, they saw an old man who seemed t o be weighed down with age. His hair, beard, and eyebrows were completely white, and he was walking over to them slowly with a cane in his hand. 6
When Charlie saw the old man, he felt that he should b e well over a hundred years old. Although he was already very old, his walking posture was surprisingly stable with the help of his walking cane.
It was already December and yet, the old man was only wearing very thin clothing, but he did not appear to feel cold at all. 4
Moreover, his walking cane seemed to be a little different.
So, he replied awkwardly, "Old Master Lennard, but the head of the family said..."
The old man questioned him, "Did the head of the Wade family tell you that as long as I am still around, I have the final say regarding everything here?" i
The security personnel became even more respectful a t this time as he replied, "Yes! Lord Wade did say that!"
The old man nodded and said, "So, if I allow him to go up, do you have any more comments about this matter, then?"
The security personnel subconsciously took a step back as he said respectfully, "No, Old Master Lennard. I have no comments or opinions about this matter at all! Everything is subjected to your instructions!"
The old man nodded in satisfaction as he made an inviting gesture toward Charlie and said, "This gentleman here, please go ahead."
