In the Ward,
Mr. Ward was always in a state of terror, holding the token of the "Powell" while trembling.
Jack and Brent frowned and were confused.
Mr. Ward had always been calm.
Mr. Ward had lived for so many years and had experienced many things. He was rarely frightened if it was irrelevant to him or some people close to him.
But now, just one token was frightening Mr. Ward!
The air seemed to freeze with the mood of Mr. Ward.
Jack said, "Brent, pour a glass of water for Mr. Ward."
When Mr. Ward took over the glass, he sat on the sofa. As he sipped the water, he stared at the token and gradually calmed down.
After a few minutes,
Mr. Ward opened his mouth with a gloomy expression and his eyes deep.
But his first sentence made Jack and Brent change their expressions.
"Young master, this time we really got into a terrible trouble!" Mr. Ward said.
Jack was so shocked in his heart.
What exactly did Mr. Ward mean?
Brent said in a hurry, "Mr. Ward, please stop equivocating and give us a straight answer."
Mr. Ward drank all the water in one gulp, swallowed it hard, and then said slowly.
"Young master, you know there are Wealthy Family, Long Thriving Family, Noble Family in this world."
"Their differences are easy to distinguish. The Quinn family of X City and the Burton family of the capital city are both Wealthy Families. The Zhuge family in X City is Long Thriving Family. And the Hughes family can be regarded as Noble Family."
Jack frowned, thought, and soon understood the differences.
The Quinn family and the Burton family were both Wealthy Families, but they had not flourished for a long time. They just had a lot of wealth, so they were Wealthy Families.
The ancestor of the Zhuge family in X City is Zhuge Liang, which had a long history and profound cultural background, so it was regarded as Long Thriving Family.
And the Hughes family had a lot of wealth and power, so it was Noble Family.
The gaps between them were small. It was the difference between wealth and power. But actually, there was a big gap between the proportion of wealth and power.
Jack rubbed his nose and looked at the "Powell" token in Mr. Ward’s hand.
After a careful recollection, he said slowly, "Mr. Ward, is there the Powell family in Wealthy Family, Long Thriving Family, Noble Family?"
When people really entered the upper class, it was easy to find that the world of people who really stood at the top of the pyramid was actually very small.
What they saw and heard were totally different from ordinary people.
Jack thought about it carefully and he didn’t know that there was the "Powell" family.
With a bitter smile, Mr. Ward said, "The Powell family doesn’t belong to these categories, and the Powell family is Long Thriving Noble Family."
"Long Thriving Noble Family?" Jack was surprised.
Mr. Ward carefully put the "Powell" token on the sofa and said slowly.
"Long Thriving Noble Family refers to the family that integrates money, power and history. Only when a family has been prosperous for more than a thousand years and has never been in decline can it be called Long Thriving Noble Family."
"Boom!"
Although Mr. Ward’s voice was low, it reverberated in the ward like thunder.
Jack was stunned.
