Chapter 672: Eliminate Shaun!
Both the Steele and Park families knew about the Schmid family secret. However, the actions of the two families were completely different. The Park family tried their best to please the “usurper” Shaun Handley, while the Steeles chose to help the Schmid family regain their power.
Now, the relations.h.i.+p between the Steele and Schmid families would be unbreakable! The Steele family finally had an ally among the secret families!
And it was all thanks to Jordan. If he hadn’t gotten to know Lota, rescued her from the Swiss castle, and found a way to help her parents remove Shaun’s control over them, how could they have scored such a victory today?
Jesse was frustrated. He had entered the virtual game and known Lota before Jordan did. However, he never thought of getting to know Lota better. Every time they met, he would just shower her with hypocritical compliments.
Although Lota was the “Holy Maiden of Switzerland”, she was just a little girl and was very easy to coax.
!!
If Jesse had interacted with her with sincerity, instead of being fake and fawning, he might have been the one to achieve this victory today. After all, he was just as capable as Jordan.
Chairman Rong asked, “Tom, can you tell us what happened? How did you end up being controlled? Who is the mastermind?”
Everyone quietened down and listened carefully.
Tom sighed, his face filled with regret. After a long time, he spoke slowly.
“That was 13 years ago. Mr. Steele’s second son, Randall Steele, brought a man to Switzerland to look for me. He said that he was very talented and a peerless genius. And that man was Shaun Handley, the man who controlled my family!”
Hearing this, Charleston, Jesse and Jordan all straightened their spines in surprise!
“Randall! Randall knows Shaun?!”
Charleston was very agitated.
“Second Uncle?”
Jesse and Jordan were puzzled.
Randall was the biological brother of their father, Rowan. He died when Jordan was still very young, about 12 to 13 years ago.
No one knew that he was acquainted with Shaun. To think that they had even gone to Switzerland together to look for Tom.
“Does Randall’s death have anything to do with Shaun?” Charleston asked.
Tom looked shocked. “Your son is dead? I’m really not sure about that. Randall came to me back then to recommend Shaun. After some observation, I realized that Shaun is indeed very talented. I believed that he would be helpful in my family’s research of an Invisibility Cloak, so I kept him by my side. I didn’t expect that in the end, he used some unknown spell to bewitch me and my wife. We were forced to do his bidding and became his puppets.”
Park Sang-jun noticed a key detail and asked, “Tom, your family was researching Invisibility Cloaks?”
Every family had its own research projects. For example, the Park family liked to research techniques to make people younger. The Miyamoto family liked to develop methods that could make people physically stronger.
Meanwhile, the Schmid family focused their efforts on invisibility technology.
Tom nodded. “Yes. My wife and I are more timid. We think it will be safer if we can become invisible. And it will be more interesting to observe the world while we are invisible. That way, we can go wherever we want.”
Miyamoto Masaki joked. “It will also be much more convenient to peep at beautiful women.”
“Hahaha.” Geng Weilun and the others laughed.
Chairman Rong was quite shocked. He asked, “Is it a quantum invisibility cloak? How far has your research gone?”
Tom nodded. “Yes. Our research has reached about 80% completion. It’s no longer visible to the naked eye. However, we still can’t escape infrared, microwave and thermal imaging detection.”
Chairman Rong nodded. “Yes, we’ve also been studying quantum invisibility cloaks. Our progress is about the same as yours. After the Deity died, we did not manage to get any further breakthroughs. As a result, we had put the project aside.”
The Schmid family already had such powerful technology 10 years ago.
Charleston hurriedly apologized. “Mr. Schmid, I am very sorry. I didn’t know that my son was acquainted with that demon, Shaun Handley. I’ve implicated you and caused you to suffer for so many years. Please accept my sincerest apologies!”
Tom hurried forward to grasp Charleston’s hands. “Mr. Steele, no need for this. I believe you had nothing to do with it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have lost your beloved son. Mr. Jordan, if I’m not wrong, when Randall came to find me, he was already under Shaun’s mental control. Shaun must have been behind his death!”
Jordan clenched his fists. He still remembered that his uncle had treated him very well and had taught him many things. But now, they would never have the chance to see each other again!
“That d.a.m.ned Shaun dared to kill a member of the Steele family!”
Jordan swore that he would avenge his uncle!
At this moment, Tom suddenly looked at the crowd and knelt again.
Everyone quickly said, “Tom, what are you doing?”
Tom said, “Chairman Rong, Madam Geng, Mr. Haus, Mr. Addington, Mr. Steele, Mr. Miyamoto and Mr. Park, I implore you all to help me get rid of Shaun Handley and help me regain my home!”
Tom’s wife and Lota also got down on their knees.
Shaun was now occupying their Swiss castle, as well as their businesses and a.s.sets. The three Schmids would never be able to take everything back on their own.
Jordan was the first to speak. “Uncle, Auntie, Lota, don’t worry. I’ll help you kill Shaun and take back what belongs to you!”
Chairman Rong agreed. “Shaun is a terrifying person. If he can control Tom, he can also control the other families. By then, our years of hard-earned research will fall into his hands. This person must be eliminated!”
Geng Anli laughed. “What are we waiting for? Let’s set off together. He’s in Switzerland.”
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s go!”
With that in mind, the eight great families set off from Morocco. All of them flew towards Switzerland in their invisible planes! These seven planes represented the world’s most advanced technology!
If ordinary people saw this, they would definitely have their minds blown!
…
Meanwhile, in the Schmid family castle in Switzerland.
A middle-aged man and woman with sinister expressions were in a frenzy.
“Ah!!! Jordan! This b.a.s.t.a.r.d ruined all my hard work! I’m going to kill him!”
Shaun was smas.h.i.+ng things in a dark room like a madman.
