The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Cadfan shook his head. "I'm not too sure either. There have been divergent views and different opinions on this matter all these years, but no one has any conclusive evidence. Slowly, this matter has already passed for too long, and no one has continued pursuing the truth behind the matter anymore."

Porter sneered and said, "It seems as though being able to work out splendid plans and devise strategies that will assure victories from a thousand miles away is far from enough! If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you have to have an active mind and the ability to fight! If Curtis Wade could have had ten percent or even just one percent of Ten Thousand Armies' power back then, he would not have been murdered at such a young age!"

Cadfan was slightly startled. After that, he quickly came back to his senses, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Porter, you're right! These days, there is no point in just having a good brain. You would have to master both the pen and the sword!"

As he spoke, Cadfan then said flatteringly, "In my opinion, you are the perfect model of someone who has mastered both the pen and the sword. Both Ten Thousand Armies and your future are bound to be limitless! Come! Let me give you a toast!" 2Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Porter laughed, and he raised his wine glass as he said to Cadfan, "After Ten Thousand Armies win a great victory in Syria, and after I move my parents' coffins to Mount Waldron, Ten Thousand Armies will then spend three to five years to fully infiltrate and even cover the entire Middle East region based on our base in Syria! At that time, I, Porter Waldron, will be the king of all mercenaries!"

The king of all mercenaries was Porter's second goal in life.

His first goal was naturally to avenge his parents' death.

In his opinion, at this time, he was not too far away from achieving these two goals. 2

At this moment, it seemed as though the situation of the Syrian war was very good, and he would certainly be able to obtain the final victory before the Tomb Sweeping Festival. 2

At that time, the Four War Kings under his command would then gather in Eastcliff, and they would then take the Wade family away in just one sweep. After that, he would then head to Syria to fully develop the base there. 3

At present, it seemed as though all of the conditions were right, and that success would follow naturally!

***

Just as Porter was in high spirits at the banquet table, the war situation in Syria had already changed in a way that he could not have possibly expected. 2

Zephan, who was leading one thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies to march into the valley, had no idea what exactly was waiting for him next.

The one thousand men secretly

followed the ravine along the side of the mountain road under the cover of the rumbling of the cannons as they circled around toward the west side of Hamed's base.

The route that Zephan had chosen was very concealed. It was almost entirely valleys as well as reverse slopes which were not visible from the high ground where Hamed's troops were located.

In addition, Zephan felt that Hamed's men could not possibly have detected that a unit had already broken away from the frontal battlefield with the artillery fire as a cover.

The mountain road was rugged, and

they specially decided on making a

circular route in order to avoid getting detected and discovered by Hamed's men. So, although the soldiers had been marching in a

hurry along the way, they took a long time because of the large detour.

However, Zephan had already planned everything carefully, and he thought that he would be able to get away with it under the camouflage. He never would have dreamt that as early as when he had just led his troops out, Hamed's drones in the sky had already captured Zephan's own troops' movements.

And now, Hamed had already laid out a death trap for him and was simply waiting for Zephan to walk right into it!
