They were indeed not here for a friendly visit!

Charleston had just died, and the seven families were already poised to devour the Steele family! It had only been a few hours since his death. If he knew about this, he would never have been able to die in peace!

As soon as Chairman Rong finished speaking, Park Sang-jun was the first to raise his hand. “I agree! The Steeles are not worthy of sharing the same ranks as us!”

Miyamoto Chujiro also raised his hand. “I also agree! The Steeles are liars without any real abilities!”

The other families, including Chairman Rong, also raised their hands.

Only Madam Geng hesitated.

“Madam Geng.” Chairman Rong looked at her very seriously.

Finally, Madam Geng also raised her hand.

The six families all agreed to expel the Steeles.

Lota suddenly spoke up. “I don’t agree! I’m the head of the Schmid family. I don’t agree with you guys doing this!”

Chairman Rong said, “Six to one. Your vote has no effect, child.”

Chairman Rong announced loudly. “Alright, I officially announce that from today onwards, there will only be seven secret families in the world! The Steele family is officially expelled!”

“No!”

In his hysteria, Jesse knelt on the ground in front of the six families!

“Sirs and Madams, please don’t expel the Steeles. We are willing to do anything for you. We are willing to share all our technology and assets. Please don’t expel us!”

Jesse had just become the head of the Steeles family and the first thing he did was kneel on the ground to beg the six families!

Jordan could not stand it anymore. This was too cowardly! He shouted, “B*stards! You dare to disobey the decree of the Deity and decrease the number of secret families from eight to seven! Aren’t you afraid of the Deity’s curse? By doing this, you’re going against the Deity. The moment there are no longer eight secret families, all of you will die! Every one of you will die a hundred or ten thousand times more miserable than my grandfather!”

Jordan had just experienced his grandfather’s death and was very emotional.

Chairman Rong was already worried about the curse. After hearing Jordan’s words, he panicked and asked,

“What do you mean when you say that we are going against the Deity?”

Jordan said angrily, “Don’t forget that the eight great families were chosen by the Deity! Why did she choose eight instead of seven? There’s a deeper meaning to all of this! The moment the group is splintered, all of you will be cursed!”

Actually, Jordan had no idea why the Deity had chosen eight. He was just spouting nonsense to scare them. When the six families heard this, they all started discussing seriously. They all felt a little afraid.

Madam Geng said, “Jordan is right. The secret families have existed as eight for nearly a hundred years. Once this stable relationship is broken, no one can tell what will happen.”

“What if it’s really as Jordan said and we will be cursed?”

“I suggest that we continue to keep the Steele family and not expel them!”

The Addington and Haus families had the same cautious attitude.

Chairman Rong was hesitating. He had come this time to take down the Steele family.

Madam Geng knew Chairman Rong was ambitious. She also knew that since he already said all those harsh words, he was determined to take the Steele family alive today.

So she continued, “Why don’t we do this? In ancient times, there was a position called a ‘regent’. The seven families can be the ‘regents’ of the Steeles. The Steele family head can still be someone from within the family, but the real control will be in our hands.”

Chairman Rong was delighted with this suggestion. “Yes, this sounds like a good idea! I wonder if the Steele family would agree?”

Hearing that the Steele family need not be expelled, Jesse immediately agreed. “I’m willing! The Steeles are willing! We’re willing to respect all of you as our regents! We’ll listen to your orders!”

On the contrary, Jordan was furious. He shouted at Jesse, “Jesse! Do you know what you’re saying?! You want our family to be their dog!”

Jamie was also very unhappy. “That’s right. Why should we agree?! Our family can’t be humiliated like this!”

Jesse had knelt down and begged the six families, but to his brothers, he roared angrily. “Shut up! I’m the head of the Steele family! I have the final say!”

Right now, Jordan was so enraged that he could kill a bull with just one punch! However, Jesse was right. Their grandfather had indeed passed the position of family head to Jesse, not Jordan. If Jordan went against Jesse now, he would be officially challenging Jesse for power.

“Alright, I don’t care anymore. If you’re willing to be the dog of the other families, you can do it yourself! I will never agree to it!”

With that, Jordan turned to leave.

However, Park Sang-jun stopped him. “Stop! B*stard, did I say you can leave?”

Park Sang-jun stood up. “You’ve humiliated the Park family again and again. Now, we are the regent of your Steele family. We control the life and death of your family! Your life is also under my control! You can only live if I let you live. If I want you to die, you have to die!”

Park Sang-jun hated Jordan to the core. Jordan had beaten him and his son before, and he seemed to have conquered his daughter. This made him feel very humiliated!

Miyamoto Masaki also stood up. “That’s right! Jordan, I will make you pay for what you did previously!”

Seeing that the Park and Miyamoto families wanted to punish Jordan, Lota suddenly stood in front of Jordan. “Don’t hurt Jordan! Whoever dares to touch him will be going against the Schmid family! Don’t forget that we have successfully developed a quantum invisibility cloak. Moreover, I’ve already recruited more than a thousand kamikaze warriors. If you go against me, I’ll… I’ll… I’ll send them to assassinate you in their invisibility cloaks!”

Gasp…

Park Sang-jun, Miyamoto Masaki and the others gasped. They did not expect Lota to say such fierce words to the Park and Miyamoto families for Jordan! The quantum invisibility cloak was a very terrifying thing. It was impossible to guard against!

“Lota…”

Jordan was extremely touched at this moment. Previously, Lota’s parents wanted them to get married, but Jordan had rejected their proposal. Not only did Lota not hate Jordan for his rejection, but she was also now helping him without any qualms.

Park Chan-young liked Lota and he felt very indignant. “Lota, I already know about you and Jordan. After the two of you entered the room that day, you both took sleeping pills and slept for 24 hours. You didn’t do anything in the room. You’re still a virgin! Jordan is not interested in you at all. He doesn’t even want to touch you! He’s not your husband. He’s not worth you standing up for him like this!”
