The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

At this moment, the dead soldiers as well as their families who were kneeling to greet the special envoy did not know that the man in the black robe in front of them was no longer the special envoy they thought he was.

According to the regulations, on the day of the antidote distribution, all the dead soldiers and their families had to line up in this hall that was tens of thousands of square meters in advance and kneel to welcome the special envoy.

Charlie was also shocked by the scene in front of him when he saw so many people kneeling on the ground.

This underground area that was tens of thousands of square meters with a height of more than ten meters combined with the huge support pillars and the lighting at the top which made it look as bright as day made this scene look like a magnificent ancient palace. What's more, thousands of people were kneeling in front of Charlie and saying the same sentence in unison. The echo made the entire underground space shake.

Charlie looked at these people, and he could not help but frown and ask in a loud voice, "Did they force you to kneel or did you take the initiative to kneel yourselves?"

The dead soldiers suddenly had shocked expressions on their faces when he said this.

This was the first time they had heard the special envoy saying something other than the established lines.

The so-called usual established lines were nothing more than asking everyone to thank the British Lord for the antidote and telling everyone that they should do their best to be loyal and serve the British Lord and so forth.

Therefore, in their impression, the special envoy was more like a human repeater who only did two things every time he came over. The first was to supervise the Armed Calvary Guards to distribute the antidote to the dead soldiers, and the second was to repeat the nonsense that the dead soldiers did not believe or care for.

When Charlie suddenly said such a sentence, this really shocked them. They could not understand what was wrong with this special envoy and why he would dare to say such a sentence. He had even said 'they'.

Who were 'they'? Was he referring to the Qing Eliminating Society?

But wasn't the special envoy himself also a member of the Qing Eliminating Society?

He should have said 'we' instead of 'they', then!

Just as everyone was confused, Charlie asked again, "Who is the leader among you? Stand up and speak up!"

A middle-aged man in the center of the first row slowly stood up and said loudly, "I'm 3900, the person in charge here."noveldrama

Charlie grunted in response and asked him, “Answer my question just now. Did they force you to kneel to greet the special envoy, or did you take the initiative to kneel?"

3900 looked around and said with a somewhat apprehensive expression, "Special Envoy Master, it has always been a tradition for us to kneel here to greet you and the antidote bestowed by the British Lord. Why are you suddenly asking such a question?"

Charlie smiled and said, "You're trying to shirk responsibility, aren't you?"

3900 hurriedly bowed and said, "I wouldn't dare to! I am not just representing myself. I'm representing the three to four thousand people behind me, so I naturally would not dare to speak nonsense."

Charlie nodded approvingly. 3900 seemed to be somewhat clever. Since he was uncertain of Charlie's background, he did not speak too soon and did not show his loyalty to the Qing Eliminating Society

Instead, he used 'tradition' to reply to Charlie's question, which would path the way for his attack and retreat as needed.

Charlie did not make things too difficult for him and slowly took off his black robe, revealing his true face to the crowd.

This move left all the dead soldiers and their families dumbfounded.

They had never seen the true face of any special envoy before because according to the Qing Eliminating Society's regulations, the dead. soldiers could only meet with specific members of the Armed Calvary Guards. Besides that, they were not allowed to meet anyone else from this organization face to face.

The reason for this was mainly because of their special identities. They would all be performing

important missions once they went out, and it was necessary to them from recognizing any members of the Qing Eliminating Society when they carried out missions.

Therefore, every special envoy who came here wore a black robe and would

cover his face with a black hood.

But this time, Charlie had suddenly broken this long-standing rule, causing all the dead soldiers to tense up involuntarily.
