After thanking the Moore family as well as the Ito family, Charlie brought his wine glass with him as he came before the Harker family as well as before Rosalie, Sophie, and their mothers.
Before Charlie could even utter his words of thanks, Holden, the head of the Harker family, was already one step ahead of him as he said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade! I only found out last night that you were the one who saved Rosalie! Moreover, you have been protecting her and ensuring her safety. The Harker family will never forget your kindness and benevolence!"
Charlie smiled slightly and said indifferently, "Lord Harker, you’re being too serious. Rosalie and I are also friends, and this matter is between Rosalie and me. You don't need to take it to heart."
Holden said seriously, "Mr. Wade, Rosalie is the most outstanding person in the new generation of the Harker family, and she is also the future leader of the Harker family. If you saved her, that is equivalent to you saving the entire Harker family!”
When Rosalie heard this, she was dumbfounded, and she asked, "Grandpa... I-I'm just an outsider. How could I be the future leader of the Harker family?"
Holden said with great determination, "Rosalie, regardless of what your last name is, you are still a descendant of the Harker family. So, I will only be able
to truly be at ease if I can hand the Harker family over to you so that you can manage it in the future."
As he spoke, Holden sighed emotionally as he said," When we were up on Mount Wintry today, I realized that no matter how good you think you are, there will always be someone out there who is better than you. Porter Waldron could become an eight-star martial artist when he is not even thirty years old. As for me, I've already set one foot in the grave, but I could barely reach the level of a four-star martial artist by relying o n Mr. Wade’s help. I truly feel ashamed of myself in comparison."
As he spoke of this, Holden looked at Rosalie and said seriously, "Therefore, I want to hand all the big and small affairs of the Harker family over to you so that I can also have more time to practice hard and cultivate myself properly. I want to see if I can take another step forward before I die..."
Rosalie was a little flattered, but at the same time, she also felt a little apprehensive as she said, "Grandpa, I don't know if I can do it... Besides, my identity is also a little sensitive now. If the Japanese were to find out that I'm still alive, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Harker family..."
Charlie spoke up at this time and said, "Rosalie, you don't have to be afraid about this. I’ve already thought of a countermeasure. After tomorrow, you will be able t o restore and resume your identity openly and honestly. Furthermore, the Japanese will never come t o trouble you again either.”
"How can that be possible?" Rosalie subconsciously said, "I'm the most wanted criminal in Japan... They... They will definitely not let me off so easily..."
