Charleston's old face lit up. His hands trembled in excitement. "Child, is that... true? Our family wasn't kicked out?"
Jordan smiled and nodded. "Grandpa, would I dare to joke about such a thing? Jesse can confirm it."
"Yeah! Jordan is dope! He's the G.O.A.T.! I knew there was nothing in the world that Jordan couldn't do!" Lota was full of praise for Jordan. After spending time in the US, her American accent was becoming increasingly strong and she had even picked up some American slang words.
Charleston was so happy that tears of joy flowed out. He kept patting Jordan's shoulder.
"Good boy! I knew it. You're the hope of our Steele family! With you around, our family will definitely be able to survive and prosper! The family depends on you!"
Jesse stood at the side, feeling very upset at his grandfather's praise.
Of course, he was very relieved that the Steele family had escaped a calamity, but it was all thanks to Jordan.
Now, after Charleston passed away, the position of head of the Steele family would definitely be handed over to Jordan. As the saying went, there could only be one alpha in the room. Since ancient times, many brothers have battled each other for power.
Cain killed Abel after God favored Abel's offering over his. Prince John of England attempted a coup against his brother, King Richard. Genghis Khan murdered his own half-brother, shooting him in the heart with an arrow.
Jesse knew very well that if he didn't attack Jordan first, he would definitely be on the losing end!
Charleston looked at Jordan happily. "How did you persuade them to change their minds?"
Jordan told his grandfather everything that had happened.
Jesse immediately accused Jordan. "What nonsense! You lied to Chairman Rong and Madam Ceng! The pills you gave them can only make them 10 years younger, but you claim that they could be 20 years younger! Once they know that you're lying and that you stole those pills from the Park family, do you know how serious the consequences will be!"
Jordan said nonchalantly, "If they find out, the worst-case scenario is that they will just kick us out. And they were going to do that anyway!"
Seeing that the two brothers were about to argue, Charleston intervened. "Jordan's stalling tactic is actually the best solution for now. Moreover, the effects of this drug can't be seen immediately. It will be at least half a month before they realize we lied. Jesse, call Helen from the medical department immediately and ask her to speed up her research on this drug. Try her best to achieve a breakthrough to make the effect up to 20 years younger."
Jesse immediately picked up his phone. "Yes!"
Meanwhile, the Park family had also returned to their house. Park Sang-jun went on a rampage, smashing things angrily.
Rare porcelain pieces and precious jewelry were all thrown to the ground like trash.
Park Sang-jun raged. "I'm so pissed off! I've lived for decades, but I've never suffered such aggravation! Jordan, that despicable kid, actually dared to attack me. The most infuriating thing is that he actually publicly revealed our Park family's secret research!
"Not only that, he took credit for our research. He lied that it belonged to the Steeles and even gave our pills as gifts to Chairman Rong and Madam Ceng! Jordan is really a despicable and cunning person! How can there be such a shameless person in the world?!"
Park Sang-cheol, Park Anya and Park Chan-young stood at the side, not daring to make a sound.
