Charlie looked at Herman and asked seriously, "Was it really you?"
Herman nodded repeatedly and clenched his teeth as he said, "Really... It was really me..."
"Alright, then." Charlie spoke up and said, “Since it’s you, you can stay back, then. Many things are waiting t o be done in this family right now, and this is the critical moment to employ people. As for the descendants of the Wade family, they will basically be staying on Mount Wintry to mourn for the next three years. So, this is the time for the Wade family's collateral families to make more contributions to the family."
When Theodore heard this, he started protesting immediately, "Mr. Wade! Although we share the same last name, we have already become independent long ago, and our family has our own affairs. How can we simply leave our own family affairs aside and run off t o serve the Wade family at such a time?! Besides, ours i s a small business to begin with, and it’s not like your family business. Wouldn't it be even more difficult in the future if we were to delay our own affairs?"
As he spoke, he hurriedly looked at the people around him as he tried to stir up trouble and said, "Everyone, don't you think that what I've just said is reasonable? Our family is already a large family with over a trillion
dollars' worth of assets. We were already forced to take out half of our family fortune just now, and the Wade family also took Ten Thousand Armies under our command. So, the Wade family's strength is actually much stronger compared to the strength of all the Wade family's collateral families combined. How can they come and steal the manpower from the collateral families again?!"
The others also felt more or less discontented in their hearts.
Theodore's words really touched the main point that incited them.
The main point was that the Wade family was already rich and powerful. They had already exacted so much money from everyone and even forced everyone to sign an installment contract. Now, they were still thinking of robbing manpower directly from the collateral families? This was indeed a little unjustified.
However, although they were all dissatisfied in their hearts, Charlie had not forced them to provide manpower for them. So, at this time, none of them dared to help Theodore, and everyone simply lowered their heads, not saying a word.
Theodore became anxious, and he blurted out," Everyone, why don't you say something? You should a t least give a few comments, right?”
No one responded.
Charlie looked at Theodore and smiled as he said,"
