Christian was very dissatisfied with Ten Thousand Armies.
The reason for this was because Ten Thousand Armies had made a move against the Wade family before, and they had even put the word out that they would destroy his brother-in-law, Curtis’ ashes.
Christian was different from his brother, Kaeden. In Kaeden’s eyes, he only recognized his sister, Ashley, and his nephew, Charlie.
This was mainly because Kaeden was younger. When Ashely had married Curtis, Kaeden was still in college, and he had had very little interaction with Curtis.
However, Christian was different. He only had a two-year age gap with Ashley and so, he had had a lot of interactions and contact with Curtis. Deep down in his heart, he still had a certain recognition of Curtis as his brother-in-law.
It was precisely because of this that Christian had mentioned this matter to Kaeden when he had heard that Ten Thousand Armies had brought coffins all the way to the Wade family. He had hoped that Kaeden could put some pressure on Ten Thousand Armies on behalf of the Acker family so that Ten Thousand Armies would not make things too difficult for the Wade family.
Alas, Kaeden had not agreed to it.
The reason why Kaeden had not agreed to it was also very simple. It was because he did not take the Wade family seriously at all.
A long time ago, Jeremiah, the head of the Wade family, had once taken the initiative to approach Kaeden at an elite chamber of commerce. However, Kaeden had told him explicitly at that time that the Wade family recognized only Charlie and no one else.
Since Charlie hadn't been found, there was naturally no reason for him to help the Wade family.
Still, this incident had also later caused Kaeden to feel afraid for a little while.
This was because he truly did not expect that Porter would go all the way up to Mount Wintry to destroy his sister and brother-in-law's ashes!
