If someone sold him a fifty-million-dollar villa that cwith a twenty-million-dollar renovation for a hundred
million dollars, he would also think that it was a good deal.
Moreover, he would need to buy a variety of items, including a variety of daily necessities as well as cars, yachts,
and even helicopters after buying the villa.
In addition, he would also require a lot of human and material resources for maintenance to ensure that he
would be able to go over and live there at any tand would always have maids who could provide their
services to him at any time. Therefore, spending one hundred million dollars to buy the villa and then buying a
car, yacht, and helicopter might end up being tens of millions of dollars.
Furthermore, the depreciation cost was amazingly high, and it would easily amount to a depreciation of ten
million dollars a year. Not only that, but the maintenance costs of the entire villa and the various equipment
would also be tens of millions of dollars, and the staff wages would also be absolutely astronomical.
In other words, if the villa was left there untouched, he would have to burn twenty million dollars on it every
year.
If he were to make two trips a year, this cost would then increase again.
Five years later, the original value of the villa which was worth seventy million dollars might indeed rise again,
up to one hundred million dollars or even more than one hundred million dollars.
However, the maintenance cost and the depreciation cost in five years would have cost at least more than one
hundred million dollars.

He had bought it for one hundred million dollars and then spent another more than a hundred million dollars on
it. After that, he could finally sell it for only a hundred million dollars. So, how could this be considered an
investment, then?
The Wade family had more than enough money in the past and so, Lord Wade had not bothered pursuing this
matter even when Clayton had spent a few hundred million dollars or even more than a few billion dollars
through various means every year.
But now, if Clayton were to be in charge of the management of Theodore's family's business, it would be
equivalent to arranging for a pig to be the boss of a group of ants. Even if we were to ask the question of
whether the pig could be a good boss of the ants, even if this group of ants worked to the point of exhaustion
and did not even take a single bite of the food, they might not be able to feed the pig at all.

Herman had also long known of Clayton's level. So, at this time, he was afraid that if Clayton were to really go to
his house, Clayton would end up consuming all of his family's savings that they had taken so many years to save
up. So, he could not be bothered about Charlie blaming him, and he knelt on the ground as he confessed
repeatedly, "Ftead of the family, | was wrong... | will confess everything to you... My son, Theodore, has been the
one making the decisions in our family for several years now! The reason why | lied to you was because | had
selfish intentions, and | wanted my son to go back to preside over the overall situation... | know that | was wrong
now... Please punish me..."
Theodore also turned pale in fright, and he blurted out, "Head of the family, please let my father go back so that
he can take care of our family's business. | will definitely stay in the country and do my best to contribute to the
core family." The expression on Charlie's face instantly becincomparably cold as he scolded them sternly,
"You are truly bold! You fled overnight first and now, instead of repenting, you're still lying tohere! It seems
as though you, members of the Wade family's collateral families, really do not seem to take the core family
seriously at all!"
When Herman heard this, he shuddered in fear as he hurriedly pleaded, "Head of the family, | simply did it out of
a moment of confusion. It's not that I'm not taking the core family seriously... After all, the reason why collateral
families such as ours can be where we all are today and have what we have is all because of the core family..."
Charlie snorted coldly, looked at the crowd, and then said in a loud voice, "The previous peaceful and prosperous
days have concealed too many of the Wade family's problems. It also covered out too much dirt in the family! If
it weren't for this catastrophe, | would have thought that the Wade family was really thriving and prosperous!
Now, it seems as though this is all just a false and hypocritical appearance!"
As he spoke of this, Charlie cleared his throat and continued saying, "From now on, these problems must be
completely resolved! Regardless of whether your business is still related to the Wade family or not, everyone
must put the interests of the core family first!"
"If all of you perform well, you can continue with your original business with the Wade family. Besides that, you
will also be given space to participate in the Wade family's new industry in the future. Anyway, my purpose is
very simple. | will support you if you support me!"
"However, if you continue doing
what you want, | will not only cut off
all the businesses and

collaborations between the core
family and your family, but I will also charge you for all the assistance and support that the core family has given
to you for many years, and the compensation will be charged according to the method of interest calculation. If
you refuse to accept i t, | will have my ways to deal with you!"
"Any one of you who has any objections can raise them now!"
When the people heard these words, the crowd instantly had a stunned expression on their faces. They hastily
stated that they would behave well in the future.
When Charlie saw that no one had any objections, he continued, "Well, since all of you are willing to choose to
perform well, there is a difficult matter at hand that requires your collective efforts to share in the core family's
worries." Everyone focused their attention on Charlie as they wondered what the difficult matter that Charlie was
saying was.
Charlie said indifferently at this time,
"The Wade family's subordinates
were all just like you guys too. As soon as they saw that Ten Thousand Armies was targeting the Wade family,
they had already run away long ago. There will be no subordinates available in the core family in the future, and
we will definitely get laughed at by people. So, each of your families will have to select two young descendants
from your immediate families to work for the core family before the end of this month! Fill up the gaps for the
subordinates forfirst!"
