The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1046-1050
Chapter 1046
A man in black pressed a gun to the navy leader's forehead, coldly asking, "Are you alone?"
Terrified, the leader stammered, "No! I don't know what you're talking about! Who are you?"
"You'll find out," the man replied. "Come with us!"
The leader shouted, "Why are you in my house? I'll call the police if you don't leave!"
Two men in black grabbed and twisted his arms. Anthony Shields screamed as one man kicked his knees, shattering both legs. His family wept in terror.
The man in black sneered, "Big on the internet, huh? Typing with your fingers? Not so tough in reality, are you?"
The leader cried, "Please, I'm just a nobody! I'll give you money, I have plenty!"
"Betraying your conscience for a few bucks? You're a waste of space!" The man grabbed the leader's hand, producing a cigar cutter. "Ten fingers, right? Let's see how you like this." He severed each finger.
Despairing, Shields heard the man say, "This is just the beginning. Come with us to Aurous Hill; the fun's just starting!"
The leader begged for mercy, claiming he was only twenty-five.
The man coldly replied, "Our young master's orders are clear: the rumor-monger dies." They dragged Shields to a car, heading for the outskirts of Aurous Hill.
Meanwhile, in Southaven, Sean awaited the navy's help in clearing the Webb family's name. But a new hot search appeared: "Webb family pays $20 million to hire navy for a smear campaign!" Screenshots of Sean's chats, payment vouchers, and bank accounts confirmed it. Public outrage erupted.
Donald, already facing Article 1 charges, was informed by his assistant, "Chairman, it's bad. The young master's chats with the navy are exposed! Online attacks are intensifying!" Donald, furious upon seeing the evidence, slapped Sean, yelling, "You incompetent fool!"
Chapter 1047
Sean felt wronged. He’d intended to help, but the navy leader proved unreliable and treacherous.
Enraged, Sean told Donald, "Dad! I'll destroy that navy leader!"
Donald retorted, "Don't be stupid. He wouldn't dare act against the Webb family alone. Someone's behind this."
Sean asked, "Who's bold enough to kill my uncle and the Beggar Gang, and confront us?"
Donald gritted his teeth, "I can't figure it out. Those who've clashed with us are already subdued. They lack the power to orchestrate this"
Sean asked, "Dad, do you mean a stronger family is targeting us?"
Donald sighed, "I suspect it has something to do with Charlie Wade in Aurous Hill!"
Sean exclaimed, "Charlie Wade?! He can't have that much power! He might be a local power in Aurous Hill, but how could he…"
Donald nodded. "I saw something online. The children your uncle wanted to buy were stolen from the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute. I investigated Charlie Wade before—he grew up there!"
Sean gasped, "So those children are Charlie Wade's younger siblings!"
"Exactly," Donald said. "That's why I suspect Charlie Wade's involvement."
Sean asked, "How could Charlie Wade do this? Even with the Moore family's backing, they couldn't have this kind of power!"
Donald worried, "That's what scares me. If the Moore family is behind him, I wouldn't be afraid. But Cameron Isaac is a different matter." He recalled being injured by Cameron Isaac.
Sean nervously asked, "Why would Cameron Isaac help Charlie Wade? He's just the Wade family spokesperson. He couldn't mobilize such force without substantial family support. Could it be…"
His face paled. "Dad, is Charlie Wade a member of the Wade family? That would explain Cameron Isaac's actions and his power!"
Chapter 1048
Donald looked shocked. "No, impossible! A Wade family member wouldn't become a son-in-law! That's insulting! Even if our family was ten times smaller than the Wade family, I'd never allow it."
Sean frowned, "Then who could it be?"
Donald said, "I suspect it's Charlie Wade, but I can't determine the connection. We've been seeking revenge against him; this is our opportunity for revenge and investigation."
Sean asked, "Dad, you mean, we go to Aurous Hill again?"
"Yes!" Donald said coldly, "This time, I'll make Charlie Wade pay!" He asked about Kenneth Wilson and Hannah, confirming their status and plans to retrieve Hannah. He decided to send his "Eight Heavenly Kings," his most powerful fighters.
Sean protested, "Dad, the Eight Heavenly Kings? That's overkill!"
The Webb family had three tiers of security: veterans, retired special forces, and the Eight Heavenly Kings—elite martial arts masters. Using them was a last resort. Donald's past failures against Charlie Wade fueled his desperation for a decisive victory. He needed a crushing win to restore his pride and confidence. "This time, I need a complete victory!"
Chapter 1049
Charlie Wade's helicopter arrived in Aurous Hill City. Cameron Isaac asked about Marcone's daughter. Charlie decided to send her to an orphanage. Cameron noted the Webb family’s hatred for Marcone and predicted their further downfall. Charlie intended to help the Moore family rise to become the leading family.
Cameron updated Charlie on Anthony Shields: "He's in Don Albertt's kennel. Should I get rid of him?"
Charlie waved it off. "Just feed him to the dogs." He then inquired about Ichiro Kobayashi, who was also in the kennel. Cameron reported on his daily routine, noting that his brother would likely kill him if he escaped. Charlie planned to use Ichiro to wrest control of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical from his brother. Cameron marveled at Charlie's strategic brilliance.
Ten minutes later, Charlie's helicopter landed atop Shangri-La. The rescued children had been sent to the People's Hospital. Charlie sent a car for Mrs. Lewis to travel home, to avoid drawing attention.
Chapter 1050
Charlie called Mrs. Lewis, confirming the children's safety. She expressed sadness over Jeff's death. Charlie offered comfort, noting the potential for Jeff's actions to effect positive societal change.
William, an employee at a factory, checked his phone after work and discovered the turmoil on the orphanage WeChat group. He saw the video of Jeff confessing and then committing suicide. Horrified by Jeff's actions and his own financial entanglement with Jeff, William dropped his phone in shock at the loss of his money.
