Thierry’s dramatic actions caught the Lopez and Black families by surprise.
What’s going on?
Even Cora was baffled.
Meredith asked curiously, “Cora, I heard the Great Family of Westford is involved in a major operation. Is that true?”
Everyone present turned to look at Cora, causing her to catch her breath.
“That’s right. This is the first time in my life I see so many men being mobilized. It is unprecedented!”
“Cora, are we now members of the Great Family of Westford?” the crowd asked.
“Of course. What about it?”
Meredith inquired, “Shouldn’t we be part of this mission too? Why are we not involved?”
Her words infuriated Judy.
“How do you intend to participate? What can you contribute? What capabilities do you even have? How many Ultimate class and God class warriors do the two of your families possess?”
“Erm…”
The Lopez and Black families were stunned by Judy’s question.
That’s true.
We might be members in name, but do we share their capabilities?
Definitely not!
“Next time, please look yourself in the mirror before suggesting anything of that sort!” Judy warned.
“Judy, we understand now. We are amongst the lowest rungs of the family. We promise to stay out of the way so as to not disgrace the Great Family of Westford.”
“That’s right. We are just a group of lowly insects. We know our place very well.”
Meredith and the others debased themselves in their attempt to curry favor with Judy.
They went as far as to describe themselves as insects and almost dropped to their knees in front of her.
After all, they weren’t even worthy of ingratiating themselves with Thierry.
Unknown to them, even Thierry had to grovel at Levi’s feet.
Meanwhile, Thierry had put in place everything according to Levi’s plan.
When he walked out, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Cora walked up to him with a large group of people behind her.
Some served him coffee and fanned him to keep him cool while others massaged his legs.
At the same time, Shaun was on his knees, offering to shine Thierry’s shoes.
“Mr. Langston, your shoes are dirty. Let me help you clean them.”
Thierry reacted to their attention with indifference.
Cora asked, “Thierry, what is the mission about? Why am I kept in the dark too?”
Just when Thierry wanted to explain, he nodded instead when something occurred to him. “That’s right, I have to keep this a secret even from you.”
“But, don’t you worry. Once the matter is over, our family’s status in Erudia will be further elevated. It has been promised to us.”
Gasp!
Cora was delighted to hear Thierry’s words.
“That’s wonderful news indeed!”
Both the Lopez and Black families were equally excited to hear it.
After all, a rising tide lifts all boats.
The more prominent the Great Family of Westford became, the brighter their future would be.
As Shaun polished Thierry’s shoes, Logan, Jennie, and Melanie helped massage his back and his legs.
“Mr. Langston, you’re a genius! We believe that the Great Family of Westford will have a glorious future under your leadership.”
“I’m proud to be a member of the Great Family of Westford!”
Meredith and Harry piled on the flattery.
Compared to what everyone else was doing, Zoey and her parents stuck out like a sore thumb.
They were unable to lower themselves to such an extent.
Fortunately, Grandma loved her.
Right at that moment, the Lopez family’s butler frantically ran in.
“Oh no! There’s trouble! I saw Levi came back,” the butler yelled.
However, he dropped to his knees in fear the moment he realized Thierry was present.
