The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

At this moment, Jaime, who was walking on the land of Sandskirts, continued his pilgrimage even though he had a scruffy beard and was covered in tatters.

Although he was dressed in rags, he wore thick protective gear on his hands and knees. He would kneel every three steps he took, then grovel before getting up. After getting up, he would take another three steps and continue to grovel, and the cycle continued.

In the beginning, Jaime's body simply could not bear such high-intensity movement at all. His body had suffered a lot. He had already reached his limit by walking three to four kilometers a day, which was much slower compared to the speed of ten kilometers a day for regular believers.

However, with the passage of time and the longer the journey, he gradually adapted to this rhythm and gradually increased from three to four kilometers a day to the current seven to eight kilometers.

He had traveled more than a thousand kilometers in more than five months.

Jaime originally thought that he was a standard outlier when he groveled every three steps he took on the road during the day and slept in the open at night.

But as he traveled further and further, he gradually discovered that there were quite a number of people like himself who were groveling and making a pilgrimage toward the southwest.

The difference between them was that these people were all people of faith, and Jaime himself was an atheist. Others did this for their faith, but Jaime had to do it because Charlie had ordered him to do so.

However, as the distance traveled got further and further, Jaime's mentality became more and more relaxed.

In the process of this progress, he reviewed the events of his life of more than twenty years several times.

During the review process, Jaime also became more aware of his many mistakes and shortcomings in the past. Over time, Jaime felt that he was a guilty person.

His first crime was relying on his status as the eldest grandson of the Schulz family to be arrogant and domineering, ignorant, and incompetent.

His second crime was being ungrateful even after Charlie had rescued him.

His third crime was to compromise and side with the culprit, which was his grandfather, for the sake of his future, when his father was overshadowed by his grandfather, and when his grandfather had plotted to harm his mother and sister until their life and death were unknown.

Over time, although Jaime did not have any religious beliefs, he was surprised to find that the punishment that Charlie had given him, which was similar to corporal punishment, was able to calm his heart.

After he had calmed his mind, the daily exertion of his body was no longer a kind of torture to him.

He was a person who had never exercised but became addicted to fitness because of his persistence and gradually began to immerse himself in it and could not extricate himself from it. As long as it was not a windy or rainy day, he would never stop moving.

Moreover, after reflecting on his mistakes and sins over the years, his hatred for Charlie gradually dissipated. He finally understood Charlie's intention of making him make a pilgrimage all the way.

In the past, he was overwhelmed by interests and materialistic desires, and his affection toward his family and humanity was also greatly affected as a result. After such training, his materialistic desires had already been lowered to the extreme, and mansions, luxury cars, yachts, and airplanes were all just material possessions to him. He could live a fulfilling life now simply by filling his tummy every day.

His humanity gradually recovered with the reduction of material desires. He began to miss his relatives and sympathize with the poor people along the way. When he passed by poor areas, he would silently remember them, hoping that he could do something for them when he had the ability in the future.

During Jaime's journey, he not only overcame difficulties and obstacles on the road, but more importantly, he was purified and sublimated on his own spiritual level.

Just as Jaime was about to continue groveling after taking three steps, there was the sound of a helicopter whistling in the sky. A helicopter quickly flew in front of him from afar and then landed slowly in front of him.

After groveling, Jaime stood up from the ground and looked at the helicopter as he wondered why it was blocking his way.noveldrama

At this moment, the helicopter hatch opened, and a middle-aged man jumped out of the helicopter, walked up to Jaime, and said, "Mr. Jaime, our young master has asked you to go back."
