The patriarch fell quiet and stroked his bearded chin, he sighed giving in to Ming Beicheng's plea.
"Very well, since you're my only grandson. I'll give you one more year but it you fail to return home, you'll be brought back by force!"
Ming Beicheng smiled and nodded, one year was enough for him to find that person that would replace him.
"I'm not getting any younger, they can't wait for me to die. Don't let the family break more than it already has Beicheng, you're the glue that keeps the pieces together now.."
Ming Beicheng bowed now that this was taken care of, he could return back to the capital.
"I'll be taking my leave now..."
"You'll be allowed to return to the capital after a week. You've been gone six years, don't you wish to visit your mother?"
Ming Beicheng expression fell that's right they was keeping his mother hostage, she was the only reason why he was willing to come back.
"When will you release my mother!"
