The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie laughed and said, "Why should you be afraid even if you are a turtle in a jar? As long as the jar is strong enough, it would simply be impossible for the opponent to break your strong jar in such a short time."

As he spoke, Charlie then said, "Moreover, you have to understand one thing. Your current situation is completely different as compared to theirs. Although you might be trapped inside the jar, at the very least, the jar is your own lair. You are just trapped inside your own home, and you have food and drinks in your own house, so what do you have to be afraid of? It's not only that you do not need to be afraid at all, but the quality of your life will not decline at all because you're trapped here." 3Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As he spoke of this, Charlie then laughed and said," But the people who are besieging you outside are not having it as easy as you are. The twenty to thirty thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies and the government will have to brave the wind, be deprived, and also endure hunger as they camp out here at all times. They can only endure it and continue keeping guard outside your door regardless of the wind, rain, and exposure to the harsh weather conditions. So, you can just imagine who would find it more unbearable."

When Hamed heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened up, and he said excitedly, "Brother, continue speaking..."

Charlie smiled and said, "This is just like a group of fishermen who came fishing at the fish pond. They have the strongest desire to catch the biggest fish in the fish pond, but the big fish was hidden in the water, and it simply refuses to show its head. The fishermen have no choice but to grit their teeth and set up tents a t the side of the fish pond as they prepare for a protracted battle."

"Forget it if they have to brave the wind and rain, be deprived and go hungry, or suffer from mosquito bites, but they will also have to delay their own serious work. They cannot possibly forgo and stop doing their jobs with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars or their businesses that make several million dollars a year, right? Therefore, they can make do with spending a day or two by the fish pond, but who could stand it if it were to be prolonged for three or even five days?"

"Even if there was a very stubborn hardcore fisherman and he can indeed clench his teeth and persevere, by the time he persists for a week and has not managed to catch the fish yet, his wife would have already taken his children away to get remarried to another man. What can he do at that time, then?"

Hamed said excitedly, "F*ck! That's indeed true!"

Charlie nodded. "The daily cost for the fifteen thousand men from Ten Thousand Armies that are here to besiege you would already cost up to tens of millions of dollars a day. Moreover, this cost would be a pure loss and compensation for them What if these fifteen thousand men were placed in other battlefields instead? Perhaps the money earned could not only be used to cover the tens of millions of dollars that they would be spending a day, but they would also be bringing tens of millions of dollars worth of profits to Ten Thousand Armies. Anyway, this would already amount to two tens of millions. Do you really think that they can afford to continue dragging this on?" 2

As he spoke of this, Charlie laughed as he said determinedly, "If Ten Thousand Armies really dares to continue dragging this on for a year and a half with you, they would have already gone bankrupt before you would have even finished

consuming all of your strategic

supplies. Most of their people are mercenaries, and mercenaries are no different as compared to construction workers. They would work for anyone who pays them. If anyone does not pay them or pays them any lesser, they will definitely leave. Have you ever heard of any construction worker who has feelings for the owner of the construction site and would willingly continue working for him even when he is not paying them any wages?"

Hamed laughed and said excitedly, "I got it! I really understand now! The person who is in the most passive situation is not me, the turtle in the jar, but the people who caught the turtle!"

Charlie nodded and smiled as he

said, "So, I believe that Ten

Thousand Armies must also be very

worried right now. If you suddenly

announce that you would like to make peace with them at this time, they will definitely seize this

ver

opportunity. Even if they are not ready to actually make any peace negotiations with you, they will definitely seize this good opportunity to make contact with the people on your side first so that they can feel your attitude and understand your style." 3

Hamed nodded repeatedly and blurted out, "Brother, your analysis sounds very reasonable! In that case, I'll look for a channel to contact them and see if they are willing to have a peace negotiation with us!"

Charlie laughed and said, "You have to be very sincere when you contact them. Tell them directly that if they are willing to talk to you, you will send someone with full and complete authority to represent you to personally go over there to talk to them. However, you have to tell them clearly and explicitly that your representative must speak to the supreme commander of Ten Thousand Armies directly!" 2

Hamed immediately said, "No problem. I have a friend who is also a supplier of the government's material supplies. He has a pretty good relationship with the top brass personnel in the government. I can ask him t 0 help me pass the message!" 5
