Chapter 643: Kicking Out The Steele Family!!
Tom Schmid hurriedly explained with a terrified expression, “Come on, we all know that our family hasn’t had any breakthroughs in technology. Our research in all aspects can’t compare to the other families. Madam Geng, you’ve misunderstood us!
“Actually, we haven’t attended in person for the past two years because my wife and I were infected with a strange illness. We were afraid that it would spread to everyone, so we didn’t come. Our family’s medical skills are lagging. It was only this year that we completely cured our illness,” Tom Schmid explained very sincerely.
“No wonder Tom looks so pale. You should tell us if you’re sick. Perhaps we could have helped you.”
“That’s right. The Haus family is very knowledgeable in all kinds of illnesses.”
Just like that, all was forgiven. The other families expressed their sympathies to Tom Schmid. They believed him.
!!
However, Charleston and Jesse were looking at the Schmid couple with extreme caution!
Through the information Jordan had given them, they already knew that the Schmids were being controlled by the Handley family!
Charleston thought to himself: ‘If these two are really Tom Schmid and his wife, they would have asked us for help. They wouldn’t have hidden the truth. They are telling lies. They’re not the real Schmids! They’re completely under the control of the Handley family!’
The Park family also knew the truth.
Park Sang-jun and Park Chan-young looked at the Schmid couple, but they did not say anything. They had no intention of revealing what happened that day in the Swiss castle.
“Thank you, thank you.”
“Long time no see.”
Tom Schmid shook hands with all the major families. Finally, Tom Schmid came to Charleston. He looked at him and extended his right hand. A strange smile appeared on Tom’s face.
“Mr. Steele, long time no see. How are you?”
Jesse also knew that Jordan had killed one of the Handley family members. Looking at Tom’s expression, he felt terrified!
“Grandpa, don’t…”
Jesse didn’t want his grandfather to shake hands with this strange person.
Charleston gestured for Jesse to stop talking. He bravely reached out to Tom. “How have you been, Hand… Tom?”
Charleston deliberately said the word “Hand” as if he wanted to say “Handley”.
A terrifying killing intent surged on Tom’s face when he heard Charleston say that!
It was obvious that Charleston was testing the other party.
Just as he had predicted, the person in front of him was indeed not the Tom Schmid he knew, but a member of the Handley family!
Soon, everyone from the major families sat down.
Chairman Rong said, “It’s almost time. Are any of the representatives not here yet?”
The other families did not say anything. Charleston said, “My grandson, Jordan, is not here yet!”
Park Chan-young laughed. “Mr Steele, I don’t think your grandson will dare to come here. Is he even in Chefchaouen now?”
Miyamoto Masaki clenched his fists. “Mr. Steele, I don’t mean to offend you, but if your grandson Jordan dares to come here, I will beat him until he kneels in front of me!”
Charleston ignored the two juniors and looked at Chairman Rong. “My grandson had an emergency just now. I believe he will be here soon.”
Rong nodded. “Alright, then there’s no need to lock the conference room door for now. Leave it unlocked for him. Anyway, I’ve already installed a privacy device surrounding this entire building. No one outside can hear us.
“The meeting has officially begun. First on the agenda is agricultural technology. In past meetings, we made the decision to share our high-tech technologies like drones with the entire world. The development of the world has steadily progressed within our expectations and control. As the sector modernizes, various countries will increase their investment in agricultural technology. I think we can help them by providing more high-tech agricultural equipment.
“Does everyone agree with this?”
Everyone listened attentively to Chairman Rong’s speech. Park Anya also made notes on her high-tech iPad as she listened.
A good memory was not as good as a lousy pen. Recordings were not allowed here, so Park Anya could only use this primitive method.
At this moment, Park Anya was like a humble and studious primary school student. If Jordan saw her, he would definitely find her very adorable.
Park Sang-jun was the first to speak. “I agree. It’s very tough on the farmers. Now that technology has advanced so much, they no longer have to toil all day in the fields.”
Miyamoto Chujiro also said, “That’s right. Think about how much better it will be for future farmers to farm using screens and drones.”
Charleston nodded. “I agree.”
The eight great families unanimously agreed to distribute “high-tech agricultural equipment” to the world.
Immediately after, Rong continued, “Alright, the second item on the agenda, which was also discussed last year, is the all-inclusive flu vaccine. This is something we developed 20 years ago. Should we distribute it to the people of the world?”
Geng Anli was the first to speak. “Every year, in China alone, the flu causes nearly $200 billion in losses. I think it’s time to release the all-inclusive flu vaccine this year.”
“I saw the news. Didn’t they say that a scientist in England was developing this vaccine? Bribe that scientist and give him the vaccine. Let him claim that he was the one who developed it.”
Whenever the secret families released their technology, they would not name themselves as the inventors. Instead, they would find someone to take credit for it.
The other families also agreed.
Rong said, “Okay, the third issue…”
Chairman Rong brought up three agenda items in a row. He was feeling a little thirsty, so he sat down to take a sip of his coffee. He asked, “Everyone, if you have any agenda items of your own, please raise them now. Let’s discuss them together.”
The other families did not say anything. Everyone had always followed the Rong family’s lead and did not dare to rashly raise their own topics.
However, this time, Park Chan-young stood up boldly. “Chairman, I have something I’d like to raise.”
Chairman Rong looked at Park Chan-young. “Oh? A descendant of the Park family? Tell me what you have on your mind!”
Park Chan-young glanced in the direction of the Steele family. “I propose to kick the Steele family out of our group!”
The originally harmonious atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became very tense and serious!
Charleston was furious. He slammed the table and shouted at Park Chan-young, “How dare you! You arrogant junior, how dare you say such words of treason! The eight great families were chosen by the Deity. How can you kick someone out just like that?!”
