The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"Well, I..."

The old man seemed very nervous when he was suddenly questioned by Charlie.

He hesitated and was at a loss for what to do or say. He could only subconsciously look at the beautiful young girl next to him.

When the young girl saw this, she hurriedly said, "Grandpa, things have already come to this point, so you should just tell this gentleman the truth!"

"I..." The old man did not expect the young girl to say that, and he was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

After all, he was just the young lady's servant, and he could understand why the young lady was addressing him as 'Grandpa' in public. He understood the meaning in the young lady's words, that she wanted him to pretend to be her grandfather.

However, he was confused when the young lady suddenly wanted him to tell Charlie the truth.

This was because he also did not know where he should begin or how he should explain the truth.

Before the old man could find his courage, the young girl quickly took the initiative to take a step forward and say to Charlie, "Sir, my grandfather is still a little indecisive, so why don't I explain things to you instead?"

Charlie did not notice anything strange about the young girl and the old man. So, when he saw that the young girl was willing to tell him the reason, he nodded and said, "Young girl, please tell me."

The young girl could not help but purse her lips and smile before she spoke up and said, "Actually, the reason why these people want to capture me and my grandfather is because of a treasure that my father left behind."

"A treasure?" Charlie could not help but frown when he heard this, and he asked with some surprise, "What kind of treasure is the British Lord willing to go to such extent to get?"

Although Charlie did not know the British Lord's name nor how powerful the British Lord was, he still had a limited outlook on the situation because of the small amount of knowledge that he currently had about this organization.

In his opinion, the comprehensive strength of this mysterious organization was definitely above his own, and even the Acker family could be manipulated by them.

Therefore, Charlie speculated that the strength of this mysterious organization would not be inferior compared to the Rothschild family, which was currently ranked the number one family in the world.

It was even possible for the mysterious organization to be much stronger than the

It was because he knew that the

other party was very powerful that Charlie could not understand how a high-ranking person like that would

want to snatch something his

When the young girl saw that Charlie seemed to have some doubts, she took out

a palm-sized sachet from her clothes.

She then used her slender fair hand to take out an inconspicuous bronze ring from the sachet.

Charlie felt a very rare and yet familiar feeling the moment the ring was taken out of the sachet.

This immediately made him realize that this small ring, like his Thunderbolt Order and Soul Blade, was also a magical instrument!

This was also the first time Charlie had seen a magical instrument in someone else's hands!

He thought that the young girl might also have Reiki like himself, so he subconsciously allocated some of his Reiki to secretly investigate the young girl. However, after some investigation, he did not find any traces of Reiki from the young girl at all.

In other words, this girl had absolutely no Reiki, so she couldn't be on the same path as Charlie.

So, Charlie could not help but ask her, "Young girl, what exactly is the origin of this ring?"

The young girl replied softly, "This ring was left to me by my father.”
