NovelOnlineNo one would have expected that Charlie would change the ancestor worship ceremony which was held once
every twelve years directly to once a year. After all, even though the ancestor worship ceremony was significant,
it was also a laborious and costly event in itself.
So, there was an older member of the Wade family's collateral family amongst the crowd who spoke up and said,
"Charlie... The ancestor worship ceremony being held once every twelve years was a rule set by our ancestors. If
you were to change it to once every year, it would be too frequent, right? | personally think that it might not be a
good thing for us to disturb our ancestors' peace too frequently! It would be a great disrespect to our ancestors if
they are displeased!"
Charlie looked at him and said coldly, "It's precisely because it used to be held once every twelve years which is
the reason why all of you with the last nWade has long forgotten about your ancestors! All of you fled
Eastcliff overnight when people said that they were going to dig up your ancestors’ graves! Is that how you
respect your ancestors?"
The old man's face suddenly flushed red, and he hurriedly shut his mouth.
When Charlie saw that the old man was not speaking, he questioned him, "Why aren't you saying anything?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWeren't you very good at speaking just now?"
After saying that, Charlie pointed at the Wade family's ancestral grave behind him and asked in a cold voice,"
Come. Cin front of our ancestors and explain properly about how exactly you showed respect to them?"
The old man was ashamed, and he said, "I... | was wrong..."
Charlie said coldly, "Don't tell me! Cout and tell it to our ancestors yourself!"
The old man could only walk out from the crowd and face more than a hundred of the Wade family's ancestors’
graves as he said with great shame, "To the ancestors of the Wade family who are above, I, your unworthy
grandson, Wilbur Wade, was wrong! | hope that you can forgive me!"
Charlie snorted coldly. He ignored
the old man and then continued addressing the more than seven hundred members of the Wade family's
collateral families in front of him as he said sternly, "Don't think thatm bullying you as the head of the Wade
family just because I'm
making demands of you when you
are members of the Wade family's collateral families!"
After saying that, Charlie pointed at Clayton, Caleb, Felix, Hugh, and the others who were kneeling on one side
as he said coldly, "Open your eyes properly and take a good look at those people who are kneeling around you!
All of them are the core members of the Wade family! My own eldest uncle, aunt, and also my cousins, who have
made mistakes, also have to kneel here for three
days and three nights!"
As soon as these words cout, Clayton and the other core members of the Wade family lowered their heads
in shone after the other. The seven hundred or so members of the Wade family's collateral families who
were aside were all dumbfounded! It was only then that they realized that Charlie was not only targeting
outsiders like them.
In truth, Charlie was even more ruthless toward his own family members!
Charlie then continued saying something shocking at this time. "Moreover, | might as well tell you that most of
them will be staying up on Mount Wintry for the next three years from now on to mourn for our ancestors!"

out of Mount Wintry!"
"Even if anyone is seriously ill and needs to stay in the ICO, | will build an ICO for him up here on Mount Wintry!"
When this group of members of the Wade family's collateral families heard this, all of them began to feel some
fear. They had initially thought that Charlie was already being very cruel by making his family members kneel
here for three days and three nights, but they did not expect that he would be even more ruthless than that!
At this moment, Charlie looked at them coldly before he continued saying, "So, all of you had better listen to me
properly. From now on, if any of you dare to betray the Wade family or make the Wade family suffer any losses,
all of you will end up with a fate that's even worse compared to them!"
When these people saw this, no one dared to raise any more objections in regards to the ancestor worship
ceremony.
The reason why Charlie wanted to
hold the ancestor worship ceremony once every year was so that he could continuously strengthen their loyalty
to the Wade family with a faster frequency. At the stime, he also wanted to make them understand the
master-subordinate relationship between them and the Wade family. This way, they would have the idea of
loyalty to the Wade family in their hearts, and this would also strengthen the Wade family's control over them.
