Jesse smiled. “Lota, you think too highly of Jordan. He’s not as brave as he claims. He’s just good at
marketing himself! Do you know? He has already offended the Park family, the Miyamoto family and
your Schmid family! How dare he participate in this year’s great meeting after offending these three
families? Isn’t he afraid of being attacked by everyone?!
“I bet he ran away in fear!”
Charleston sat at the side with a depressed expression and did not speak. He did not understand what
emergency Jordan could possibly have.
Soon, it was 9:30. Jordan had yet to return.
Jordan had already rushed to the mosque and searched around. He did not see any orange cats.
Cats could run very quickly and even go up to the roof. It was small and easy to hide. It was definitely
not easy to find a cat in such a large place.
Jesse smiled. “Grandpa, it’s half-past nine. We should go to the meeting. It’s better to go early, don’t
you think?”
Charleston nodded and looked at Lota. “Lota, you wait here first.”
Lota nodded. “Okay.”
Lota was a Schmid. It would not be appropriate if the Steeles brought her to the meeting.
No one knew if the Schmid family would skip this year’s meeting or if they attended, or who would be
their representative. Charleston had to see the situation first before deciding how to deal with it. There
was also the matter of whether to keep the Handley-Schmid families’ matter a secret for the time being
or expose it.
The venue of the great meeting was not a particularly mysterious or imposing place. It was just an
ordinary conference hall. It was a far cry from the Central Hall Westminster in London, where the first
General Assembly of the United Nations had been held, or the United Nations Secretariat Building in
Manhattan, New York.
However, the matters being discussed here would have a far greater impact on the entire world!

The Steeles were the first to arrive at the conference room. Before long, the Park and Miyamoto
families also appeared.
The two families were chatting and laughing as they walked in together. It seemed like they had a good
relationship.
In the past, the Steele family had considered establishing good relationships with them, but they had
purposely ostracized the Steeles! Not only that, they even forced the Steeles to move out of the US
and emigrate to England!
“Mr. Miyamoto, Mr. Park, long time no see!”
Charleston immediately got up from his seat and greeted them respectfully.
The head of the Park family, Park Sang-jun, and the head of the Miyamoto family, Miyamoto Chujiro,
were both in their 60s. In terms of seniority and age, they were below that of Charleston. Out of
courtesy, the two family heads responded by giving Charleston a nod.
However, they did not say anything.
Charleston did not like to be snubbed. He was almost 80 years old, and it was not easy for him to take
the initiative to greet a couple of juniors.
It should be known that Charleston had a good relationship with their fathers in the past.
Nevertheless, Charleston sat back down. On the other hand, Jesse walked over to try and cozy up to
them.
“Mr. Miyamoto, you look full of vitality. You’re as strong as a young man! I have a small gift here. It’s a
traditional medicine developed by the Steele family. You will definitely become even more healthy after
eating it!”
Jesse humbly walked over to Miyamoto Chujiro.
Miyamoto Chujiro completely ignored Jesse. Miyamoto Masaki walked over and said to Jesse, “Get lost
and take your rotten medicine away with you. We don’t need this trash!”
Jesse wasn’t angry at being humiliated in public. Instead, he walked towards the Park family.
Apart from Park Sang-jun, Park Chan-young and Park Sang-cheol, there was another beautiful woman
in her 30s.
Jesse walked over. “Who is this beauty? I’ve never seen her before.”
Of course, this woman was the goddess that Jordan had pined after for years. “Madam” Park Anya!
Park Anya was dressed very elegantly today. She was wearing a white suit and flawless, subtle
makeup. She looked like a classic noble Asian woman. Although Victoria had always been the most
CEO-like woman when dressed in her power suit, she would not be able to compare to Park Anya now!
Park Anya politely introduced herself to Jesse. “Hello, I’m Park Anya. Park Sang-jun is my father.”
Jesse hurriedly bowed. “Hello, Ms. Park. I’ve long heard of your name. It’s an honor to finally meet you
today!”
Park Anya had fought for the right to attend this meeting for so many years. Today, she was finally able
to meet the men from the other secret families. She might as well admit that she wanted to attend this
meeting just so that she could meet suitable men!
This was because her husband, Cheon Ji-hoon, was not worthy of her. All the men in the world who
were worthy of her would appear at this meeting today.
Park Anya looked at Jesse carefully and thought to herself: ‘Is this Jordan’s brother? Sigh, he looks
mature and steady. He’s my type. Unfortunately, he grovels too much. How can my man bow down to
others?’
As such, Park Anya quietly eliminated Jesse from consideration!
After sitting down, Park Anya looked at Miyamoto Masaki.
Miyamoto Masaki was about the same age as Park Anya, just a few years younger than her. In Park
Anya’s eyes, this man had an aura that could make even a queen submit!
‘Mr. Miyamoto Masaki… I wonder if I’ll have the chance to speak with him in private, to get to know
him.’

Park Anya had already taken a fancy to Miyamoto Masaki.
At 9:40, the representatives from the English Addington family and the German Haus family arrived.
The Steele, Park and Miyamoto families all stood up and greeted them with smiles.
The Rong and Geng families from China only arrived at 9.50. It was clear they were considered the top
two secret families.
Everyone in the conference hall immediately got up from their seats.
“Chairman!”
“Ah, Madam Geng! You have become even more beautiful!”
Everyone praised the Rong and Geng families.
The “Chairman” they were referring to was the head of the Rong family, Rong Bailun.
It was widely acknowledged amongst the other families that the Rongs were the most powerful.
The Rong family’s technology in all aspects was undoubtedly the most advanced. They were beyond
the other seven families, and their strength was unfathomable!
The Geng family was from China. They were slightly below that of the Rong family, but they were also
very powerful.
The “Madam Geng” whom everyone was praising was called Geng Anli. She was an old woman in her
50s. However, although she was old, she dressed in a very youthful manner. She loved to dress up and
wear bright colors.
Beside her was a handsome young man. It was her son, Geng Weilun.
Everyone greeted the Gengs, but Geng Anli only focused her attention on the Steeles. She asked
Jesse, “Why is it just you and your father? Isn’t your brother Jamie supposed to attend too?”
