Jesse smiled. “Lota, you think too highly of Jordan. He’s not as brave as he claims. He’s just good at marketing himself! Do you know? He has already offended the Park family, the Miyamoto family and your Schmid family! How dare he participate in this year’s great meeting after offending these three families? Isn’t he afraid of being attacked by everyone?!
“I bet he ran away in fear!”
Charleston sat at the side with a depressed expression and did not speak. He did not understand what emergency Jordan could possibly have.
Soon, it was 9:30. Jordan had yet to return.
Jordan had already rushed to the mosque and searched around. He did not see any orange cats.
Cats could run very quickly and even go up to the roof. It was small and easy to hide. It was definitely not easy to find a cat in such a large place.
Jesse smiled. “Grandpa, it’s half-past nine. We should go to the meeting. It’s better to go early, don’t you think?”
Charleston nodded and looked at Lota. “Lota, you wait here first.”
Lota nodded. “Okay.”
Lota was a Schmid. It would not be appropriate if the Steeles brought her to the meeting.
No one knew if the Schmid family would skip this year’s meeting or if they attended, or who would be their representative. Charleston had to see the situation first before deciding how to deal with it. There was also the matter of whether to keep the Handley-Schmid families’ matter a secret for the time being or expose it.
The venue of the great meeting was not a particularly mysterious or imposing place. It was just an ordinary conference hall. It was a far cry from the Central Hall Westminster in London, where the first General Assembly of the United Nations had been held, or the United Nations Secretariat Building in Manhattan, New York.
However, the matters being discussed here would have a far greater impact on the entire world!
The Steeles were the first to arrive at the conference room. Before long, the Park and Miyamoto families also appeared.
The two families were chatting and laughing as they walked in together. It seemed like they had a good relationship.
In the past, the Steele family had considered establishing good relationships with them, but they had purposely ostracized the Steeles! Not only that, they even forced the Steeles to move out of the US and emigrate to England!
“Mr. Miyamoto, Mr. Park, long time no see!”
Charleston immediately got up from his seat and greeted them respectfully.
The head of the Park family, Park Sang-jun, and the head of the Miyamoto family, Miyamoto Chujiro, were both in their 60s. In terms of seniority and age, they were below that of Charleston. Out of courtesy, the two family heads responded by giving Charleston a nod.
However, they did not say anything.
Charleston did not like to be snubbed. He was almost 80 years old, and it was not easy for him to take the initiative to greet a couple of juniors.
It should be known that Charleston had a good relationship with their fathers in the past.
Nevertheless, Charleston sat back down. On the other hand, Jesse walked over to try and cozy up to them.
“Mr. Miyamoto, you look full of vitality. You’re as strong as a young man! I have a small gift here. It’s a traditional medicine developed by the Steele family. You will definitely become even more healthy after eating it!”
Jesse humbly walked over to Miyamoto Chujiro.
Miyamoto Chujiro completely ignored Jesse. Miyamoto Masaki walked over and said to Jesse, “Get lost and take your rotten medicine away with you. We don’t need this trash!”
Jesse wasn’t angry at being humiliated in public. Instead, he walked towards the Park family.
