NovelEnglishEven if Carmen was at fault for going to Charlie's mother-in-law on her own accord, Charlie should not have treated Carmen so harshly. He even forced her to stay in Aurous Hill's shantytown for a week on New Year's Day.
2 This proved that it was absolutely not as easy as Jeremiah had imagined if he wanted to tCharlie, let alone have him return to Wade family and follow his command.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeremiah decided that he should not rush this matter. Otherwise, it might backfire.
Realizing this fact, he said, "Carmen, you were at fault in this matter after all. So even if Charlie did go a little too far, there is no need for you to completely turn against him. I'll have to ask you to bear with him for a few more days, and we'll cup with a better solution in the long run." Relieved, Carmen quickly replied, "I know, Father. I'm sorry that I can't be by your side during this period of time, especially during the New Year..." Jeremiah smiled faintly. "It's okay. It's not a big deal, don't you mind about it. I'll wait for you to cback." "Okay." Carmen wiped her tears while nodding profusely toward the camera.
At that smoment, Clayton, Jeremiah's eldest son, appeared on his phone screen as he approached and said anxiously, "Father, I've just inquired about a piece of news." Jeremiah frowned. "What is it?" Clayton swallowed as he explained. "I heard that the Schulz family is recruiting all kinds of martial artists throughout Asia with a high price. They offer ordinary martial artists tens of millions of dollars a year and billions for the higher-level ones. It is estimated that they spend about ten billion in investment for these martial artists, and it has attracted many retired masters to cout of retirement!" 3 Jeremiah asked in bewilderment, "Why the sudden fuss?" Clayton continued, "I believe they want to quickly make up for the loss of their combat power in Japan. I heard that dozens of the Schulz family's martial artists are being charged by the Japanese prosecution team. The Japanese have been working overtto sort out the lawsuits and are trying to get to court as soon as possible so that these martial artists cannot escape their serving tin Japan." 3 Jeremiah nodded, knowing very well how necessary combat power was to the top families.
The Schulz family's encounter in Japan was the best example. If they did not have a large reserve of martial artists, it would have been impossible for them to send nearly a hundred masters to Japan overnight.
More importantly, when these masters arrived in Japan, they could disregard the local threat and exterminate the Matsumoto family effortlessly.
These masters were not equipped with modern weapons such as guns or grenades; they could produce explosive combat power with only their bare hands, which meant they were the human weapon themselves who could enter and leave any country at any tas long as they had a passport and visa. 4 Such individuals were the most prized assets of the great families during their quest to conquer the overseas markets.

Therefore, the combat power of assassins with guns was greatlyn limited if they needed overseas missions. It seemed as though they were useless without their firearms.
On the contrary, the martial artists who worked for the top families could guarantee their hands-on M ve combat power's versatility even in countries with strict gun-control.
Such was the importance of martial artists.
Clayton added, "Besides, I heard that Sophie Schulz has been investigating a mysterious man with a nationwide reputation since her return from Japan: Her family has even secretly offered a billion dollars just to find any information about this man." "Oh?" Jeremiah asked, feeling astonished. "Who's this man? Is he the Schulz family's enemy?" "No," Clayton answered. "I heard that the man is the person who rescued Sophie and Jaime!" X
