Like that, Jamie went straight to the point. He told Jordan the world's top secret!
Jamie said, "Actually, the Steeles aren't the only secret family in this world. There are a total of eight secret families in the world! The Steeles in the US, the Park family in South Korea, the Miyamoto family in Japan, and the Rong and Geng families in China. The Addington family in England, the Haus family in Germany, and the Schmid family in Switzerland!"
Jordan was stunned. So, there were eight secret families on the same level as the Steeles!
Jordan said, "The Rothschild and Rockefeller families aren't considered secret families?"
Families like the Rothschild family and the Rockefeller family did exist, as many people on the internet called them.
Jamie smiled. "Those families are also low-key and secretive. However, they can't be compared to the eight great families! Other families only have hidden wealth. Do you know what our eight families are hiding? Medicine, technology, military power, unfound internet capabilities... it is a world that ordinary people have never even heard of!"
Jordan asked, "Are you saying that the eight major families have more advanced technology than the public markets?"
Actually, Jordan had always suspected this.
For example, the automated music system at the Steele Castle in England. Whenever someone started singing, the system would immediately play the appropriate accompaniment music.
This technology was too awesome. It was impossible to achieve in the current market. Moreover, the drugs in Jordan's medicine box were clearly of a higher grade than the drugs on the market.
When Jordan was blinded by Cayden, the doctors in Houston were helpless. But Jordan was fine after taking one of his own drugs. It was obvious that the Steele family's medicine was not available even in the top hospitals.
Jamie said, "Right now, the best offered on the market is considered the lowest level in the eyes of the eight great families’ Norman was one of the top engineers in the US back then, but compared to our family's programmer, his standard is just that of a primary school student! However, our family saw that he had potential, so we asked him to work for us.
"As someone obsessed with technology, he was attracted by our high-end technology and immediately agreed to abandon his wife and daughter. He hid his identity and worked for the Steeles wholeheartedly."
Realization dawned upon Jordan. He finally understood the truth behind Norman's fake death back then.
It turned out that the Steeles had taken a liking and seen opportunity in Norman's talent.
Meanwhile, Norman also admired the Steeles' advanced technology. He was like a person who had just developed a Contra video game and then suddenly discovered the
high-level Call of Duty franchise.
The impact was too great for someone obsessed with technology. Norman had no reason to reject it.
Jordan asked, "How skilled are our eight families in all aspects?"
Jamie suddenly took out something the size of a piece of chocolate from his pocket and threw it to Jordan.
"What's the most popular phone on the market now?"
Jordan answered, "iPhone 12?"
Jamie pointed at the item in Jordan's hand. "You're holding an iPhone 18."
Jordan was shocked. "What? 18?!"
Jordan could not believe it. He examined it carefully but did not know how to turn it on. Moreover, it was very small. Although it was convenient to carry, the screen was too small. It would not be comfortable reading off such a small screen, right?
Just as Jordan was feeling doubtful, he suddenly realized that the phone size could be adjusted! Jordan slowly opened it to the size of a normal phone.
Generally speaking, it was similar to those phones which could be folded. But those phones would have a crease across the screen.
