Chapter 1590 1585: Am I Late?
But now he has also slightly changed his mind; just giving money is probably not enough!"Death God, our Fraser Family is willing to follow your lead and serve you loyally from now on!" Jesse Fraser truly made a significant offer.
This time, he offered Su Chen the entire Fraser Family.
But this was also an action he had no choice but to take, because besides this, he had nothing else substantial to offer.
Since Jesse Fraser took the initiative to propose this, how could Su Chen refuse? He accepted calmly.
The Fraser Family already had a certain amount of power in Europe, and now that Jesse has taken over and agreed to the wishes of the Fraser Family, the family was bound to enter the fast lane of development.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Su Chen can help him resolve external threats again.
The Seven Families of the United Consortium were now eyeing the Fraser Family covetously. If Su Chen left Fraser unattended, perhaps it wouldn't be long before the Fraser Family would be annihilated and divided by the Seven Families of the United Consortium.
At this time, Su Chen helped Jesse Fraser suppress the source of internal turmoil within the Fraser Family, but that was not enough; the upcoming United Consortium meeting needed attention.
Jesse Fraser invited Su Chen to go along.
Su Chen calculated the time and, after dealing with the Fraser Family's affairs, found he still had ample time, so he agreed without hesitation.
...
Regarding the Fraser Family's turmoil, outsiders actually knew little.
The presence of Su Chen brought great shock to everyone in the Fraser Family.
The internal rebels of the Fraser Family had been nearly eradicated by Su Chen, and the remaining ones were mostly supporters of Jesse Fraser.
Therefore, although the other families in the United Consortium heard about the internal disturbances in the Fraser Family,
they didn't know the details, only knowing that Jesse Fraser had initiated a 'family coup,' overthrowing the Fraser Family's Elder Council and seizing control of the family.
Besides that, they knew very little.
In fact, the hidden Tributors and Shadow Demon Puppet within the Fraser Family were unknown to the people of the United Consortium.
This is why the Fraser Family's influence and ranking within the Eight Great Families of the United Consortium were so low.
Otherwise, merely the power of Barney Andrew would have been enough to elevate the Fraser Family's influence to be on par with the Hunter and Wood Families.
Instead of now being seen as juicy prey by the other families of the United Consortium.
The purpose of today's meeting at the United Consortium's headquarters is no mystery to anyone.
If the Fraser Family were really as simple as they appeared on the surface, then their fate would already be sealed.
"Why hasn't the Fraser Family arrived yet?" There were less than five minutes left before the meeting began.
Currently, of the Eight Great Families of the United Consortium, only the Fraser Family had not yet arrived.
A representative from one of the families asked impatiently.
"Hehe, could it be that the Fraser Family is playing ostrich now?" Someone mocked sarcastically.
The Seven Families of the United Consortium had already set their sights on swallowing the Fraser Family.
After all, the Fraser Family had just experienced internal turmoil, with Jesse Fraser leading people back to regain control and overthrowing the Fraser Family's Elder Council.
This fact surprised them a lot because, according to their expectations, Jesse Fraser should not have been a match for the Fraser Family's Elder Council.
No matter how 'undying' he was, he was supposed to fall into the hands of the Fraser Family's Elder Council, and soon after, be delivered to them as an apology, hoping for their forgiveness.
But that was impossible; they were already prepared to divide up the Fraser Family.
Even if the Fraser Family yielded, offering Jesse Fraser's life and making considerable compensation, it would not change their perspective.
Because how could the compensation offered by the Fraser Family compare with the value of the entire Fraser Family?
As long as they could swallow the Fraser Family, the benefits they would gain would far outweigh any compensation.
Perhaps they would suffer some losses in the process, but once they took over the entire Fraser Family,
the losses they suffered would surely be compensated ten to a hundred times over!
The only downside was that this big pie needed to be shared among the seven families.
The Hunter Family had previously gathered the Kelly Family and the Wood Family to make a private agreement, hoping that the three families could exclude the other four consortium families in dividing up the Fraser Family.
But ultimately, they failed to reach a consensus.
In addition, the other families caught wind of it, so they had to abandon the plan and instead have the Seven Families collectively divide the Fraser Family.
However, doing things this way also had its benefits, as it was much less risky for the Seven Families to act together.
Only, things did not go as they expected.
Originally, they planned to wait for Jesse Fraser to be captured by the Fraser Family's Elder Council and then handed over to them for punishment, allowing them to threaten them further.
In their view, the Fraser Family's Elder Council held most of the Fraser Family's resources and was powerful, far beyond what Jesse Fraser could contend with.
But who could have predicted that the situation would result in Jesse Fraser defeating the Fraser Family's Elder Council and becoming the victor?
Although they were extremely shocked by this outcome, it didn't matter to them.
After all, facing the Seven Families of the United Consortium, even the Fraser Family, had they not experienced turmoil, could not stand as a rival.
No matter who from the Fraser Family showed up today, it would not change their fate of being divided!
There were still two minutes before the meeting began, and the people of the Fraser Family had yet to arrive.
At this time, not only were the other four families getting somewhat restless, but even the representatives from the Hunter and the other two families began to frown and started making phone calls to find out the situation.
"Tap tap tap..."
A series of footsteps came from outside, the conference room door was pushed open, and Jesse Fraser, dressed in a formal suit and meticulously groomed, appeared at the entrance of the conference room.
His face showed no trace of panic; on the contrary, there was an unusual confidence.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting." Jesse Fraser addressed the family representatives in the conference room in a very calm tone.
"Jesse, we didn't expect you'd actually show up." A representative from a consortium family that had always been at odds with the Fraser Family slammed the table and got up.
"This meeting is so important, and yet you show up only now; aren't you taking us too lightly?!" A questioning voice immediately cornered Fraser.
But Jesse Fraser looked at him with extreme calmness: "Am I late?"
