Stephen hesitated for a moment before he persuaded, " Young Master, it would be better for you to attend if you are not too busy. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it would be a little awkward and difficult to explain your absence, then."
"No." Charlie spoke with firm determination, "I do not want to have so much involvement with the Wade family. The ancestor worship ceremony this time is a private event. Besides that, I will be able to pay my respects to my parents, and that is the reason why I agreed to participate in the event. I will not be coming along to participate in any other events."
"Okay." Stephen knew that it would be very difficult for him to persuade Charlie. So, he asked, "Young Master, when will you be coming over, then?"
Charlie said indifferently, “I will arrive in Eastcliff on April 3rd."
"Okay!" Stephen said excitedly, "I will come and pick you up at the airport, then!"
Charlie casually said, "We will talk about it again then. Mr. Thompson, there is still something that I have to d o, so I'll hang up the phone now."
After saying goodbye to Stephen, Charlie stood up
immediately and said to Hamed and Sayid, "Both of your sides should coexist peacefully in the future.
That would be the most beneficial situation for both sides." 2
After saying that, Charlie added, "In addition, these fifteen thousand men from Ten Thousand Armies will definitely bring in a lot of revenue to the government. This will be a big booster to the government’s economy. So, from now on, both of your sides can immerse yourselves in developing your infrastructure and economy. There is no need for you to continue going to war with each other."
Hamed nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, Brother. I will definitely remember all of your teachings!” 2
Sayid also spoke up, "To be honest, we do not want to b e at war all the time either. It would be great if we can have a peace negotiation!"
His gratitude might even surpass that of the gratitude that Hamed had felt toward Charlie when he had cured his crippled leg back then.
Charlie nodded gently and spoke up, "In that case, we will take your helicopter and leave.”
Sayid hurriedly said, "Master Wade, I will see you off!"
Hamed also said without hesitation, "Brother Wade, I'll come along too!"
Charlie nodded, and he looked at Zayne and said coldly, "You're coming with me."
Zayne responded without hesitation, "Yes! I'll obey all o f your commands..." i
