There is still a minute left before the eting begins.
The person who slamd the table and questioned Jesse Fraser just now was montarily at a loss for words.
Indeed, Jesse Fraser was not late; he arrived just in ti.
However, everyone else had been here for quite so ti.
The representative who waited the least had already been waiting for nearly twenty minutes.
Jesse Fraser, as the Fraser Family's representative, arrived leisurely, making even the representatives of the Hunter and other families look less important.
This naturally made people angry.
What's more, they all ca here today hoping to divide up the Fraser Family, yet the mbers of the Fraser Family acted so arrogantly.
Inside the conference room, the representatives of the families within the United Consortium all had gloomy expressions. This really showed how arrogant the Fraser Family was!
Could it be that he truly doesn't realize the dire situation the Fraser Family now faces?
Jesse Fraser was fully aware of the precarious position the Fraser Family was in, potentially being wiped out if they weren't careful.
If it weren't for having Su Chen as backup, he might not even have co to this eting personally.
The families within the United Consortium hadn't skimped on preparations for this gathering.
Although Jesse Fraser wasn't clear on what exactly they had prepared, at least two hundred Mortal Realm Martial Artists from the seven families had shown up today at the headquarters.
These individuals were considered elite forces of the seven families, and they had spared no expense in their efforts to divide the Fraser Family.
Additionally, they feared they might beco the next Fraser Family, hence needing to guard against anyone scheming behind their backs.
"Alright, since Jesse has arrived, let's not fuss over trivial matters and quickly get to the main topic."
This year happens to be the ti for a representative of the Hunter Family to sit as the Joint Chief Executive Officer. He sat in the main seat and addressed everyone.
Jesse Fraser naturally had no objections, and he took his seat at the conference table casually.
There were twelve chairs around the conference table.
But usually, only eleven were occupied.
The Fraser Family and four other families each held one seat.
anwhile, the Hunter Family, Kelly Family, and Wood Family, the three strong families of the United Consortium, each held two seats.
In terms of voting rights, that amounted to eleven votes in total.
The majority ruled, aning once the three families, including Hunter, reached a consensus, the Fraser and other four families had to comply, having no chance to alter their decision or will.
Even knowing this was unfair, the Fraser and other families were powerless to change it.
First of all, compared to the three families of Hunter and the like, their strength was much weaker.
Furthermore, they were not united amongst themselves.
There was also interest conflict and competition among the Hunter, Kelly, and Wood families.
But they understood that, besides competing with each other, they needed to suppress the other five families.
By combining their voting power, the three families control the United Consortium and can govern the other five families.
Only by maintaining their advantage could they balance the other five families.
Forcing the other five families to work for them, using their resources to get even stronger.
Like this ti, the Fraser Family had angered them, creating a desire among them to divide the Fraser Family.
But for the mont, their opinions were not aligned.
In the end, the matter regarding the Fraser Family had to be laid open, not only allowing the three families to feast but also leaving so share for the other four families.
Still, once such a balance broke, the United Consortium would soon be nothing more than a na.
This point was well understood by everyone.
However, with the Fraser Family's worth of hundreds of billions of US Dollars before them, such a tempting piece of at was difficult for anyone to relinquish.
There was a high possibility that today's eting could beco the last gathering of the United Consortium.
To return to the main point, there were a total of twelve seats in the headquarters eting room of the United Consortium, but typically only eleven individuals took them.
Yet today, a twelfth person sat down at one of the seats.
Just when the discussion should have been starting, the presence of Su Chen sitting there caused an alteration.
Almost all the representatives from the other seven families turned their gazes towards Su Chen.
Ten pairs of eyes stared intensely at Su Chen, and if looks could kill, Su Chen might already be dead a thousand tis over.
As the representative of the Hunter Family who served as the Joint Chief Executive Officer,
The elderly man in the main seat stared sharply at Su Chen for a while, then turned his gaze to Jesse Fraser.
"Jesse, did you bring this man in? Have you forgotten the rules of the United Consortium?" Even at this mont, he didn't forget to pressurize Jesse Fraser, preparing for better sanctioning of both Jesse Fraser and his family, the Fraser Family, later.
The recent actions of the Fraser Family had already been sufficient to provide an excuse to sanction them, but that alone wasn't enough!
Of course, Jesse understood the intentions of the United Consortium. He didn't co here today with the intent of leaving peacefully; having a Death God like Su Chen present, what did he have to fear!
Today, Jesse Fraser was brazen like never before.
He replied stiffly, "What, is this seat not allowed to be occupied?"
"Uh..." The representative of the Hunter Family, seated as the Joint Chief Executive Officer, was montarily at a loss for words due to Jesse's response.
"Nonsense! Today is a eting of the Eight Great Families of the United Consortium, and only representatives of the consortium are supposed to sit. Who is this person? My gosh, he's an Eastern person!"
"How can a lowly Eastern person claim to be fit to be here? Guards, guards, quickly remove this guy, oh dear, I feel I can't breathe any longer, the air is full with the disgusting stench of that inferior race."
The two family consortium representatives, who usually followed the lead of the three big families, shouted loudly.
Su Chen's proficiency in English needed no further ntion; he understood these two people's words with utmost clarity, and his face imdiately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Did these two think he was deaf?
To insult him right to his face, or perhaps they had gotten too used to bullying the Fraser Family to the extent they assud he was a pushover too?
"Lowly? Today I'd like to see who is truly lowly." Su Chen snorted coldly.
Despite there being hidden tributes of the seven families in the shadows of the conference room, Su Chen's speed was incredibly swift.
In just the blink of an eye, he severely injured those two family consortium representatives who had been spewing insults.
This was already the result of Su Chen holding back.
Otherwise, how could the bodies of two ordinary people endure a wrathful strike from Su Chen, a High Rank Saint?
"You dare to act?!" Su Chen's sudden action also aroused the anger of the other consortium representatives in the conference room.
