Chapter 548 The Forefathers Of The Eight Great Families!
Jesse looked a little guilty. He asked Jamie, “What do you mean by that?!”
Jamie snorted. “Everyone knows about this, apart from Jordan. Four years ago, when Jordan went to the battlefield to train, you said that you would help him. But what happened in the end? Did you do it?”
Jesse’s expression turned grim as he explained to Jordan, “I was indeed negligent in that matter. I didn’t finish it immediately, but I definitely had no intention of harming you. You should know very well how I usually treat you.”
Butler Frank spoke up for Jesse. “Mr. Jesse was just praising Mr. Jordan for completing the mission in such a short time and bringing Mr. Jamie home. He even said that he’s not as good as Mr. Jordan and asked Mr. Steele Senior to use all the family’s resources to groom you.”
Faced with Jesse and Butler Frank’s words, Jordan could not say anything.
Charleston said, “Alright, let’s not talk about the past. Jamie, I’ll personally take care of everything for you during your battle trial. I won’t let you enter the battlefield until everything is properly settled. Is that acceptable?”
Jamie knew that he couldn’t escape from his battlefield experience, so he smiled. “With Grandpa’s guarantee, I have no more worries then!”
Charleston nodded and looked at Butler Frank. “Where is the current conflict?”
Butler Frank replied respectfully, “India and Pakistan.”
Charleston thought for a moment before deciding. “Mhm, let’s arrange for Jamie to fight in this war then.”
Jamie was delighted. “Haha, it’s pretty close to South Korea. Not bad, not bad.”
He then shot Jordan a look. He was clearly hinting to Jordan that this would make it much easier for him to fly Park Sora over.
After Charleston settled Jamie’s matter, he looked at Jordan and said with a gratified smile, “Jordan, congratulations on completing the last training mission! Now, you have the right to know our family secret!”
At that moment, Jesse suddenly looked anxious. He hurriedly said, “Grandpa, although Jordan has outstanding abilities, his emotional state has never been stable enough, especially when it comes to love. I think it’s a little too early to tell Jordan about the Steele family secret. We should continue honing his character first to make him more stable and mature.
Afraid that Jordan would be angry, Jesse comforted him, “Jordan, don’t blame me for saying this. I’m doing this for your own good. Our family secret doesn’t just concern our family. It affects the entire world and the entire human race! You might not know this, but the evaluation I gave you for your experience with Hailey was B+. Faced with her betrayal, you didn’t react with enough maturity.”
Jordan laughed out loud. “Why? Are you worried that if Lauren cheated on me like Hailey one day, I will destroy the entire world and humanity?”
Jesse replied coldly, “It’s not impossible! Lauren might have an affair. She is indeed a hidden danger!”
Jordan was furious. “What did you say?! Lauren can only love me in this life! She will never have an affair. She can’t have an affair! Don’t you know that she has an illness?!”
Actually, at that moment, Jordan really wanted to ask Jesse about those photos of Lauren and Dr. Gale. However, Jamie had advised Jordan not to fight Jesse head-on. Moreover, based on Jordan’s understanding of Jesse, he would definitely not admit to anything
Unexpectedly, Jesse gave a strange smile. “Is that so?”
Jamie spoke up for Jordan. “How should we hone Jordan’s character then?”
Jesse said, “Jordan showed his immaturity with Hailey, so we should use her. Hailey is in our castle now. Jordan should marry her again to hone his character for another couple of years. If he can sleep with a woman whom he hates to the core for a year, that will be a true test of character!”
Let Jordan and Hailey be together again?
Before Jordan could flare up, Jamie shouted, “F*ck, how dare you say such things! How many men have Hailey kissed with her filthy mouth? How many other men has she called her hubby? You want her to kiss Jordan again and call him hubby and darling again?
“I think you’re not trying to train Jordan. You’re just trying to torture him to death! Who can stand being with a woman who cheated on him and gave birth to someone else’s child?”
Jesse said, “You take shortcuts for every training mission. You have no right to speak up for Jordan!”
Jamie snorted. “Do you think Jordan will let you do whatever you want? Let me tell you, I’ve already told him the family secret!”
“What did you say!?!”.
Jesse and Charleston were shocked.
Jordan said, “Yes, I already know about the eight great families.”
Charleston said, “Since Jordan already knows, let’s put aside the matter of honing his character for the time being. I believe that as he gets older, Jordan will naturally become more mature. Jordan, come with me. I have something to tell you privately.”
“Yes!”
With that, Jordan followed Charleston to his room.
Jordan closed the door. He knew that his grandfather was going to tell him something very private and important.
Charleston was very gratified. “Child, I’ve waited for this day for a long time. You didn’t disappoint me!”
Jordan immediately said, “Grandpa, I am sorry for making you wait so long.”
Charleston smiled. “Jamie already told you about the eight great families. However, he doesn’t know much about them. I’ll tell you in detail, starting from the beginning.”
“Alright.”
Jordan had many questions about the eight secret families.
Charleston stood with his hands behind his back. “A hundred years ago, my father, who is also your great-grandfather, was a fisherman. One day, he woke up and realized that he was on a ship. This ship was sailing in the middle of the sea, and there was no end in sight. He was afraid. He walked around the ship and realized there were others on it. However, these people were all foreigners. From South Korea, Japan, England, China, and so on.”
Jordan was shocked. “Those people are the forefathers of the eight great families?”
Jordan had been wondering why there were eight great families in this world and how they were all connected.
Charleston nodded. “That’s right. Our eight great families were actually chosen.”
“Chosen by whom?” Jordan asked immediately.
“A 10-year-old girl,” Charleston replied.
