Chapter 866


    “Later, don’t go shooting your mouth off. You better stay in this corner and keep quiet.” Michael came


    over on purpose to remind him.


    Since he couldn’t hide his rtionship with Levi, he had no choice but to acknowledge him.


    That was all Michael could do to prevent him from humiliating other Joneses.


    The courtyard within their ancestral home wasrge enough to amodate a thousand people.

    Hence, representatives from Jones families based all over the world were gathered there.


    There was a chair in the ancestral hall was reserved for the head of the family.


    On it sat an old man with white hair. He was as thin as a stick and looked as if he could fall anytime the


    wind blew.


    However, his eyes glistened with energy, and he was in high spirits. He exuded an intimidating aura.


    He was Joey Jones. At 123 years old, he was the eldest member of the family in Erudia.


    He was the most senior member of the Jones diasporic families and had authority over all the individual


    Jones families.


    There were four other chairs on each side of his seat where Michael, Westley, and others sat.


    They were the heads of the eight most powerful Jones families.


    They ced the rest of the thousand participants ording to their seniority.


    Levi was among them. But no one could see him as he was ced in a secluded corner.


    Sitting in the chair and holding his staff, Joey eximed, “Hmm, what an amazing sight! All our


    descendants are strong and capable. Within Erudia, there are few who are stronger than the Jones


    family itself.


    “Michael and Westley have done especially well. Within, ten years they have elevated their families


    from quasi-royal ns to royal families. There are eight other prominent families who were elevated to


    quasi-royal n status. I am impressed!”


    “Thank you for yourpliments, Father. We wish you a long and prosperous life. Also, we wish the


    Jones diasporic families evesting glory!” Michael and Westley both stood up to congratte


    everyone.


    The crowd repeated in unison, “We wish you a long and prosperous life. Also, we wish the Jones


    diasporic families evesting glory!”


    Joey replied with a smile, “Next, why don’t you tell us one by one what you have achieved in thest


    ten years.”


    Michael and Westley’s achievements were a league above everyone else. Joey couldn’t stop praising


    them.


    However, Westley exined with resignation, “Joey, the Chillshire Jones family has some regrets. We


    have reached the pinnacle of the business world, but there is no one in our family who has done well in


    government or the army. My son, Franklin, has not shown he is exceptional as he is just an ordinary


    government leader. While my grandson Aiden is only a colonel in the army which is nothing to shout


    about. As for my brother, Xaver Jones, he is just a second-tier leader in Chillshire but will be promoted


    to a first-tier leader next year.”


    Hiss!


    Everyone gasped in awe at how powerful the Jones family of the Chillshire branch was.


    It was very impressive of them to have influential members in business, government, and the army.


    Despite his humble tone, Westley was trying to outdo Michael.


    He understood that in the south, both his family and Michael’s were evenly matched.


    In terms of the government and army, his family definitely did better than the Jones family of South


    Hampton.
