Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2408

The council meeting would usually discuss matters that affected international trade or threatened the standing of the Genesis Chamber of Commerce.

However, the international business world had been calm recently. There hadn't been any major incidents.

Siete warned, “Don't ask anything you shouldn't, and follow my orders.”

His assistant didn't dare to probe further and nodded fervently. She immediately left to inform the council members of the Genesis Chamber of Commerce about the meeting.

When the council members received the notice, they all had the same confusion as Siete's assistant. What has happened for Mr. Siete to summon all council members for a council meeting?

They all posed the question to Siete's assistant, but she was oblivious as well.

Seeing as they couldn't get any other information out of Siete's assistant, they decided to drop their queries and matters at hand to rush to the meeting.

The Mitxel family was one of the council members of the Genesis Chamber of Commerce too.

Jared was puzzled at first when he received the notice, but then delight filled him.

The only major incident that happened recently across international trade was the development of the cure for HIV by my family. I'm sure the main agenda of this council meeting is to discuss the collaboration for the HIV cure. However, this discovery was only made known to a small circle of people. I didn't even have the chance to announce it yet. How did the Genesis Chamber of Commerce hear about it? The rapid spread of the news must be due to the discovery of the cure being too impactful.

The corners of Jared's lips tugged into a malicious grin.

The Mitxel family used to receive unfair treatment from the Genesis Chamber of Commerce. Finally, it's their turn to be begging us this time around. I'll hold the power of discourse and get them to submit to me. If they refuse, they can kiss the collaboration for the development of the HIV cure goodbye.

Jared couldn't hide the joy within him at the thought of the Chairman of the Genesis Chamber of Commerce, Siete, bowing down to him.

Naturally, Jared had to go to the meeting personally instead of sending someone there for something as important as the collaboration partner for the HIV cure.

He immediately boarded his private plane and flew back to his home country.

The council members of the Genesis Chamber of Commerce were spread all over the world. Hence, night had fallen by the time all the members had gathered.

It was a magnificent sight to see nearly a hundred council members fill the seats of the large, grand hall of the Genesis Chamber of Commerce.

Any one of the people seated there could shake the world's economy with a stomp of their foot.

If an atomic bomb hit that building at that moment, the world's economy would regress to decades before in the blink of an eye.

Of course, that was merely hypothetical. Such an incident would never happen because the security there was akin to the security detail assigned to a president on presidential trips.

The Chairman of the Genesis Chamber of Commerce, Siete, swept his gaze around the venue. The entire hall fell silent instantly when the crowd felt his gaze. That showed the power Siete held.

Finally, Siete's gaze landed on Jared.

“Enough talk. Let's cut things short today. I'll get to the point. The Mixtel family is the main lead for the show today.”

Siete's cue sent gazes swinging toward Jared and elicited murmurs from the crowd.

“Did the Mitxel family do something worthy of the Genesis Chamber of Commerce to hold a council meeting?”

“Haven't you heard? The Mitxel family has developed a miracle drug to cure HIV.”

“What? That's preposterous! I thought the current technology wasn't able to cure HIV completely. Could the Mitxel family possess technology that surpasses the whole world?”

“We don't know if your information is true or false, but I'm leaning toward it being true. Otherwise, Jared wouldn't look so confident.”

“If it's true, the Mitxel family will make a fortune. We'll get to have a piece of the cake too.”

The gazes directed at Jared had slowly turned from shock to admiration.

Arrogance crossed Jared's face at the crowd's admiring gazes.

However, he wasn't happy with Siete's attitude.

Siete was still acting the same as always—speaking impassively.

Hmph! You'll be begging me later.

Siete slammed a hand on the table to call for order. “All right. Everyone be silent. I'm sure all of you are curious about what the Mitxel family did for me to hold this meeting.”
