The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"What?! You're Ashley's son?! How... How can this be possible?!"

Merlin had an incomparably appalled look on his face when he heard Charlie's introduction!

He clearly remembered the conversation that he had had with Christian not long

ago.noveldrama

At that time, they had been talking about Lord Acker and Christian's sister, Ashley. Christian had also mentioned his nephew, whose whereabouts and life and death were unknown.

Christian had said that the entire Acker family had traveled almost all over the world to find him.

However, they had been unable to find any traces of Charlie's whereabouts no matter what methods they tried.

Many people even thought that Charlie had to be dead, but his corpse simply could not be found.

However, the Acker family had always felt that Charlie was definitely still living somewhere in this world and that they simply had not found him yet.

Merlin never would have dreamt that the first person he would see after opening his eyes upon coming back from the dead would be someone who claimed to be Ashley's son.

This caused Merlin, who was a police officer, to question this immediately.

So, he calmed down and analyzed, "Why do I feel that I should already be dead? At that time, I remember that a group of thugs dressed in black shot at me from the elevator as soon as the elevator door opened... The group of thugs' firepower was very fierce, and they basically did not hesitate at all. Before I lost

consciousness, I remember that I was shot at least twenty to thirty times. I should have been f*cking dead a long time ago. Even God could not have saved me...”

Having said that, he widened his eyes and blurted out, "F*ck! Is this the world after death?!"

As he thought of this, he said

without hesitation, "It turns out that people are in this state after death. They are always dreaming and floating around in various stranger environments. What's next, then? Could it be that I am going to be reincarnated and enter the next reincarnation?"

Charlie could not help but laugh and say, "I thought that all police officers should be realistic, but I didn't expect that a famous Oskian detective like you would have such stupid ideas."

Having said that, Charlie raised his voice a little and said loudly, "Merlin, listen carefully. You're not dead. I saved you."

Merlin looked at Charlie, waved his hands, and said, "Impossible! That's absolutely impossible! As I said just now, I was shot so many times, and I was already dead. No one would be able to save me... so it must be untrue! I have been a police officer albmy life, so I can understand this logic!"

Charlie said indifferently, "Yes, you were shot a lot. I was there at that time, and your internal organs were basically smashed into pieces. If you shovel the body tissue fragments blasted off by the bullets from your body and weigh them, they must weigh at least three to five pounds."

Having said that, Charlie took out his cell phone, found the photo that he had taken at that time from a hidden folder, handed it to Merlin, and said, "Look. This is what you looked like at that time."

Merlin took the cell phone nervously, looked down, and was startled by the photo of himself.

He had been handling cases for so many years and had encountered countless tragic dead bodies.

Still, he was the only one who had been shot by so many guns at such a close range.

When Merlin saw the photo, he was even more puzzled and blurted out, "D*mn it! I've ended up in such a state yet you're telling me now that I'm not dead?! Do you think that I'm so stupid?"

Charlie pointed to his face in the photo and said, "Here. Take a closer look at your face. Do you find anything strange?"

Merlin looked down and saw that the expression on his face at the time of death was full of pain and unwillingness. He blurted out, "What's so strange about this? Are you trying to ask me why I look so unwilling?"
