The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 166-170
Chapter 166
Charlie Wade said coldly, โThatโs your lifeline. Jack is using the good deeds youโve accumulated, sacrificing your life for the rest of the Quinton family!โ
Graham, shocked by Charlieโs words, froze. Adam anxiously watched the surrounding masters. A collective gasp arose as they realized Graham wouldnโt live past three days.
Adam knelt, pleading, โMr. Yaleman! Please save my uncle!โ
Jack sneered, โIโve appeased the evil spirit. You should thank me.โ
Aurora paled, biting her lip. She knelt before Charlie, pleading, โMr. Wade, please help my fatherโฆโ
Charlie replied indifferently, โThe Quintons chose Mr. Yaleman, not me. Why should I help now?โ
Auroraโs eyes welled. โMr. Wade, save my father, and Iโll fulfill any requestโฆโ
Charlie laughed. โI want nothing from youโฆโ
Graham rushed to Charlie, kneeling and weeping, โMr. Wade, I was blinded! Adam misled meโฆโ He slapped Adam, who dodged a second blow.
Desperate, Aurora grabbed Charlieโs legs, begging, โMr. Wade, please save my father!โ
Charlie sighed, โOkay, you can get up. Heโs safe.โ
Doubtful, Graham held his stun talisman. โIs this amulet working?โ
Charlie replied, โYes, the red line on your hand should be fading. Mr. Yaleman needs to try harder.โ
Graham saw the fading line, relieved. โThank you, Mr. Wade! Without youโฆโ
Charlie waved his hand. โYouโre lucky you had the amulet. Otherwise, I could do nothing.โ
Turning to Jack, Charlie said, โThe result is clear. Arenโt you going to admit defeat?โ
Adam approached Charlie, kneeling in apology.
Jackโs face turned blue. He glared, โYou won because of that talisman? I wanted to spare your life, but youโre persistent! One last chance: hand over the clam and apologize!โ
Jack had no choice; losing meant his elaborate plan would fail. But his final gambit could kill everyone if he mismanaged his power.
Charlie stared, โAnd if I refuse?โ
โYou forced my hand!โ Jack grabbed a black porcelain jar.
Mosquitoes swarmed from the jar, landing on the food and devouring it.
Jasmine exclaimed, โIs Mr. Yaleman raising insects?โ
The mosquitoes continued their feast. The masters murmured in confusion. The eaten meat changed color, and smaller black insects emerged.
Chapter 167
Within five minutes, all the food rotted, teeming with black insects. Even a rooster, raised from a chick in the White family yard, was attacked. In seconds, it convulsed and died, soon releasing more mosquitoes.
The sky filled with mosquitoes, a chaotic whirlwind. They were toxic and could penetrate skin wounds. Though small, their bites were excruciating, causing immediate swelling.
The masters used their magic, throwing amulets and chanting. Some hid, others jumped into the pool.
Jasmine, shocked, asked, โWhat is this?โ
Someone exclaimed, โThese mosquitoes were raised from a childโs corpse! I canโt believe Mr. Yaleman would do this!โ
Jack laughed. โTheyโre from a dead fetus! Since you disrespect me, Iโll teach you a lesson!โ
The old man bitten by the mosquitoes swelled and collapsed. Jasmine panicked. But she noticed no insects near Charlie. As the mosquitoes neared him, they turned to black coal.
Charlie sneered, walking towards Jack, unhindered, holding a white clam shellโthe Thundering Order talisman. It glowed faintly, edged with thunder.
Jack was stunned. โWhyโฆ whatโs happening? How is this possible?โ Charlie seemed surrounded by a halo. โThis is impossible!โ Jack yelled.
Charlie sneered, โUndefeatable? Iโll show you true power!โ He yelled, โRumble!โ
A deafening boom echoed. Thunder roared, dark clouds gathered overhead. The sky darkened instantly.
Finn was speechless. Everyone shared the same shocked expression. Graham murmured, โA miracle!โ
Lightning struck the insects, turning them to coal. Tables and chairs splintered, trees fell, a burning smell filled the air. Charlie stood calmly, lightning flashing around him like a descending god. Wind howled, rain cleansed the courtyard.
Chapter 168
โHeโs not human! Heโs a god!โ
โDonโt let the lightning strike me! Iโll apologize to Mr. Wade!โ
Guests knelt, bowing before Charlie. Graham was frozen in shock. The lightning only struck the insects.
Jack was terrified. He was an ant compared to Charlie. He fled.
โTrying to escape?โ Charlie grinned, extending his hand. โThunder, fall!โ
Thunder roared, lightning striking the jar in Jackโs hand. He fell, screaming in agony.
โMr. Wadeโฆ Masterโฆ spare my life!โ
Charlie approached, his face cold. โUsing the remains of an unborn child? This is an unforgivable crime! Heaven punishes the devil! Do you accept your punishment?โ
Jack could only stare, mouth agape, enduring the lightning. Why was there such a terrifying presence in Aurouss Hill?
Lightning repeatedly struck Jack until he was incinerated, a foul smell pervading the courtyard.
Charlie waved his hand, stopping the storm. The wind swept away the remains. He looked serene.
Everyone was speechless. They realized Charlieโs mercy had spared them.
โMr. Wade, youโฆ you are a god!โ Graham trembled, worshipping Charlie. Zeke also knelt, begging forgiveness.
Finn declared, โMr. Wade should lead the metaphysics circle!โ Everyone agreed.
Chapter 169
Everyone previously fought for leadership, but now eagerly sought Charlieโs guidance. They'd never seen such power. They witnessed Jackโs fate and wanted Charlieโs protection.
Charlie frowned. โIโm not a member of the metaphysics circle. I donโt study Feng Shui. I hope youโll let Finn lead.โ
Everyoneโs jaws dropped. He'd summoned lightning but had no interest in metaphysics?
A wave of respect washed over them.
Finn said respectfully, โItโs an honor to serve under you, Mr. Wade. Iโll manage the circle, seeking your guidance only on major issues.โ
Travis offered Charlie an eighty million dollar bonus. Matthew also thanked him. The crowd offered gifts and money.
Finn announced a 150 million dollar prize for the winner (Charlie).
Zeke begged forgiveness, offering Charlie a vacation home as a gesture of repentance.
Charlie considered. A vacation home was insignificant, but his family needed better living conditions. He accepted, warning Zeke against future transgressions.
Chapter 170
Zeke rejoiced. Charlie then turned to Graham, โDid you believe I lied to cheat the Quintons?โ
Graham apologized. He then forced Adam to apologize to Charlie.
Adam trembled, fearing Charlieโs wrath. Aurora also apologized for her brother's actions.
Charlie, seeing their remorse, forgave them, warning them against repeating their mistakes.
Jasmine was stunned. Sheโd always underestimated Charlie, but now saw his immense power.
Charlie addressed the crowd sternly, โDonโt reveal what happened today! Keep it secret! Anyone who leaks this faces Jack Yaleman's fate!โ
The guests were shocked by his request for secrecy. They bowed, agreeing to obey. Charlie dismissed them.
