The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

At that moment, Andre thought he had found a way out. Without an ounce of hesitation, he nodded and declared eagerly, "Mr. Wade, I'd like to join the Ten Thousand Armies!"

Charlie nodded, pleased. Things were going right according to plan. He then turned to Gopher and asked, "What about you, Gopher? Are you interested in joining the Ten Thousand Armies?" Gopher looked up and said earnestly, "Mr. Wade, I...I'm more than interested... Joining the Ten Thousand Armies is such an honor!"

He continued to flatter Charlie, adding, "Mr. Wade... Since our gang will be under your wing, there's something I wonder if I

Judging from the way Gopher's eyes were darting around, Charlie knew that the man bore ill will. Still, whatever plot Gopher had wouldn't shake him. And so, he waved and smiled leisurely, and said, "Go ahead."

Gopher began excitedly, "Mr. Wade, our country has an old adage saying that people of a different ethnicity or race can't be trusted. Now that you've taken our gang under your wing, I'm sure you need a trustworthy person to help you command, lead, and supervise them so as to prevent any future rebellions!

Gopher ignored the shouting man. His attention remained on Charlie, and he added fervently, "Mr. Wade, I've mingled with this organization for a long time. I understand them well. If you let me manage them, I guarantee you, everything will be in order. Nothing will go wrong!"
