What Porter valued the most was affection, and this was also the key to Ten Thousand Armies’ success and achievement so far.
He was already originally grateful toward Charlie for being empathetic and compassionate towards his parents' need to be reburied for peace, but now, he felt extremely angry in his heart when he saw how shameless these members of the Wade family's collateral families were.
It was also precisely because of his anger that he inadvertently blurted out the words 'Mr. Wade' and even said it twice in a row.
This instantly made the members of the Wade family's collateral families feel that something was amiss.
If it was the Wade family who had given up all resistance and surrendered completely to Ten Thousand Armies, it would not be incomprehensible for Porter to accept Charlie as his lapdog.
However, now that Porter was suddenly referring to Charlie as 'Mr. Wade', something seemed to be wrong here.
Nevertheless, before they could be too surprised, many of the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies rushed into the crowd and dragged out the guys who had spoken u
p shamelessly and brazenly just now.
Immediately after that, there was the sound of continuous slapping, resembling that of firecrackers resounding throughout the valley.
These soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies were all martial arts experts, and the strength of their arms was all as strong or even stronger as compared to that of an adult tiger.
If they did not withhold themselves as they delivered the slaps, it would be possible for the other party to lose his life.
Although Charlie was very dissatisfied with these members of the Wade family's collateral families, he hadn't thought about taking their lives.
So, he then spoke up to stop them. "Alright. You don't need to hit them anymore."
Charlie simply said these few words casually, and immediately, all of the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies stopped the movements of their hands.
Even if Ten Thousand Armies had a great reputation and even if Porter were to do as he agreed and not make things difficult for the Wade family after the Wade family gave up half of their assets, he would definitely not rise to this point where he would hold such a great level of respect for the Wade family.
Therefore, what they wanted to know was what kind o f hidden secret was behind this matter?
At this time, Charlie looked at the dumbfounded expression on the faces of the members of the Wade family's collateral families, and he then cleared his throat as he said, "I was originally planning to let all of you know the truth after you had already climbed and groveled all the way up the mountain. However, since all of you are already suspicious now, I will simply stop pretending and reveal the truth to you now."
More than seven hundred members of the Wade family's collateral families were all awestruck as they stared intently at Charlie, waiting for his subsequent words.
However, before Charlie could even speak, Porter, who was beside him, had already knelt on one knee with a look of shame as he said with extreme self-reproach," As your subordinate, I was too impulsive just now, and I failed to watch my mouth! Please punish me, Mr. Wade!"
"F*ck!" "What the hell is going on?!"
