Chapter 163: Top four families in the capital
Selena came out wearing a loose and comfortable dress with her heavily bulging belly.
There was a happy smile spread across her face.
"Jack, it’s been a long time since we met. If not for the doctor advising me to avoid long travels, I would have visited you regularly."
She walked fast toward him while speaking, gave him a tight hug, and gave him a peck on his lips.
"I really missed you."
Jack watched the longing expression on Selena’s face, and his hand started to pat her head gently.
"I will be staying at your place for a while. We can spend more time together."
"Okay, come inside. We can discuss other matters inside."
Selena held his hand and walked him inside.
After they entered the villa, the guard who was guarding the door secretly moved into the distance and made a call.
"Sir, that person has arrived in the capital. He is now staying with our young Miss Selena."
On the other side, a rough voice filled with authority was heard.
"Okay, watch everything happening there and inform me about the happenings there in detail."
In the Akechi family, the family head sat in his main seat and looked at the file that had Jack’s photo attached to it.
"Interesting, from the information our people gathered, this person was ordinary so far. But during these past few months, how was he able to catch the eyes of my daughters? And his martial skills also don’t match the details and his background.
Was he some hidden heir of a martial arts family like ours? After all, families like ours have the habit of sending their future heirs outside at a young age to develop experience.
Otherwise, how could this person be able to defeat my two daughters and conquer them?
Even the famous and notorious rich young brats in the capital cannot come near my fierce daughters. Yet this person was able to do this.
From the information from the old butler, he really fought and won against my two daughters, who were trained under martial arts masters since childhood and honed their skills through bloody experiences.
With their skills, no man in the capital was able to defeat them until this person appeared. Not only did my daughters marry him obediently,
They even got pregnant with his child. It was really shocking when I heard the news that these two got pregnant. So this person must have some significant background. Otherwise, how could a nobody country bumpkin catch my daughters’ eyes?
Maybe this person can help me solve the problems that have been causing me headaches in the family every day."
The assistant near him watched his master seriously reading the file about Jack and muttering himself and asked,
"Sir, can we invite the son-in-law over here to our place? After all, he married our two young madams of the family.
He hasn’t met the elders of the family until now."
Shigeru looked at his assistant, after some thought he shook his head.
"No need. We will just watch the person’s activities for now. Later I will tell you when to invite him here."
In the private room inside the villa, Selena sat opposite to Jack.
"Jack, the news of your arrival here should have already reached my father’s ears. You will be invited to the family sooner or later. After all, it has been a long time since a son-in-law appeared in the Akechi family. He must really want to meet you, and be careful of the schemes of that old fox when the time comes."
Jack massaged his lightly sore back, caused by the long travel, and said,
"I am also looking forward to meeting your family members."
Jack had long expected to visit the Akechi family from the day Isabella explained the matters to him. For now, let’s understand the situation in the capital.
"Give me all the information about the major powers in the capital, and I also need information about the overall situation in the capital."
Selena turned around and gave a signal to her assistant, who was listening to everything nearby.
Soon the assistant brought in all the information they had asked for in a big file and handed it over to Selena.
She took it in her hand and weighed it.
"It’s good to know the situation first, and you should also mingle with the rich people and elites in the capital more,
So that you can soon adapt to the lifestyle here and The Thomson family is not like that insignificant old pawn in your town whom you could assassinate and eliminate easily.
They have specially trained secret guards carrying arms and guns, protecting them everywhere. These kinds of powerful families each have their own private armed forces.
You can defeat them with your skills. But they all carry advanced weapons and guns. Can human skills match advanced weapons?
A single mistake can cost your life in a fight. So confronting a giant like them directly is not wise."
While listening to everything Selena was saying, Jack started to read the detailed information in the file the assistant had just brought in.
Selena left him alone after saying what she needed to say. Jack stayed in his room and continued to read all the information in the file thoroughly.
Because this information was very important for him to gain a foothold in the capital in the future. Important information like this is considered a kind of wealth that cannot be bought with money easily.
Soon nighttime arrived. Jack didn’t notice the passage of time because his whole concentration was fully on the file before him.
It seemed there were four powerful family clans in the capital: the Sinclair family, the Akechi family, the Thomson family, and the Shen family.
They were the ones controlling the whole capital. Each of them controlled their own part of the business world. They also had their hands in the political world.
If I can say it openly, these four families can be considered the four pillars of the whole country.
If these four families collapsed, it would make the economy and the power center of the country collapse.
Jack released a long sigh after he fully understood the situation in the capital.
It seemed they were far more powerful than he had imagined.
