Chapter 1575 1570: The Fraser Family
Changes are imminent in the Fraser Family.Before the storm, there is always silence. Su Chen and the two English girls clearly did not connect; they were beautiful, yet Su Chen was not in the mood to flirt.
The long-legged English girl was not fixated on the five million employment fee offered by Jesse Fraser; Su Chen seemed to be worth much more to her!
As for the other big-eyed adorable girl, Su Chen was even less interested. Despite her looks, her obvious reluctance was off-putting.
…
Noon arrived swiftly, and Jesse Fraser, having finished his tasks, rushed to Su Chen's side without hesitation.
"Mr. Su, there's an internal family meeting today. Kindly accompany me back," Jesse Fraser said, showing no pride as he humbly addressed Su Chen.
For the first time, those two English ladies witnessed Jesse Fraser's humility in front of Su Chen.
Jesse Fraser was already somewhat of a celebrity in London City.
One of the directors of the Royal Bank Group of England, and the president of the Royal Bank of England.
Even cabinet ministers would undoubtedly hold him in high regard with that identity.
Calling him a magnate in London City's upper society wouldn't be exaggerated, that is if disregarding the armed interventions of the Dark World.
With that identity alone, he already stood among the top tier of the mundane world.
Yet such a figure now showed such humility towards a young man.
At that moment, different thoughts stirred in the minds of the two English ladies. Could it be that the young man before them was a prince or similar from the Eastern royal family?
However, they knew so little about the East.
At that time, the Eastern world had no more empires left.
Only Dongyin Country still retained some royal family.
But the royal family in Dongyin Country had dwindled terribly over the years.
Now in Dongyin, aside from an elderly Emperor, there were no adult male members of the royal family!
No matter what the young and beautiful English aristocratic ladies were thinking, Su Chen and Jesse Fraser concluded their conversation.
Su Chen readily accepted Jesse Fraser's invitation.
After all, he had come specifically to help Jesse Fraser resolve some issues.
Once Jesse Fraser had completely stabilized and controlled the Fraser Family, Su Chen could entirely leverage the Fraser Family's influence in Europe to accomplish some tasks, such as investigating matters concerning the 'Moyland Castle'.
Or even legends related to the Werewolf Clan and the Bloodline.
In the Western Dark World, many unknowns remained hidden.
Especially after such a direct encounter with the Bloodline's existence, Su Chen found himself inexplicably curious about them.
The power of two Forbidden Magic spells made Su Chen's eyes light up.
Especially 'Death Energy', a force everyone shunned, yet Su Chen remained immune!
If it were someone else, struck by 'Death Energy,' they might already be finished.
A five hundred year lifespan; it was never a common life form, contact meant death!
Yet Su Chen?
Mere human, he took two hits from 'Death Energy' and remained unharmed?
Even Harlow Nopheler felt an illusion; after 'consuming' two 'Death Energies,' did Su Chen somehow grow stronger?
But Harlow Nopheler thought it was unlikely; 'Death Energy,' not even the Bloodline could endure.
How could Su Chen, alone, have any spare capacity to digest after continuously ingesting two 'Death Energies'?
It seemed like a joke!
But Harlow Nopheler did not know about the mysterious Black Stone inside Su Chen.
After 'Death Energy' invaded Su Chen's body, instead of causing harm, it became nourishment for him, which no one had anticipated.
…
Many members belonged to the Fraser Family, but the core members almost all resided in the independent estates of the Fraser Family.
Though referring to them as estates, they could well be 'castles'.
There were many independent castles, often castles, which were largely relics from the Middle Ages.
Many castles were once noble territories that later evolved.
But as nobility faded, castles changed hands several times; for instance, the estate-style castle owned by the Fraser Family was purchased by the head of the Fraser Family from an impoverished noble.
It remains as the Fraser Family's headquarters to this day.
Prominent members of the Fraser Family Elder Council reside within this estate.
Jesse Fraser, as the Fraser Family's external representative, usually returns monthly for reporting.
But last month, Jesse Fraser found various excuses for delay and didn't return.
This time, however, Jesse Fraser proactively announced an internal family meeting.
He informed the Family Elder Council that he would offer a satisfactory explanation at this meeting!
If Jesse Fraser were to delay further, he might face more than simple resignation apologies.
Rumors of sanctions against him were already circulating from the Family Elder Council, with supporters rallying behind him, preventing escalation.
This is why he told Su Chen he could last another month.
After all these years, if he hadn't established his own faction and supporters within the family, it would be quite a failure.
Early afternoon just barely passed, and Su Chen accompanied Jesse Fraser, donned in formal attire, to the Fraser estate.
After Jesse Fraser announced this family meeting, the seven elders of the Elder Council had already congregated for discussion.
Though they didn't reach full consensus, the conclusion for Jesse Fraser to resign and apologize was established.
To offend the Seven Great Families was akin to courting death, as viewed by the seven elders of the Elder Council, given the Fraser Family's unremarkable standing in the United Consortium, even sitting at the bottom.
Among the United Consortium's Eight Great Families, the Hunter Family, the Kelly Family, and the Wood Family held great power to crush the Fraser Family!
"...Jesse is virtually pushing the entire family into the Abyss. I suggest immediate action from the family's power to execute this madly ambitious lunatic!" someone shouted within the Fraser estate.
