Winner Takes All
Chapter 549 Long Thriving Noble Family

In the Ward,

Mr. Ward was always in a state of terror, holding the token of the "Powell" while trembling.

Jack and Brent frowned and were confused.

Mr. Ward had always been calm.

Mr. Ward had lived for so many years and had experienced many things. He was rarely frightened if it was irrelevant to him or some people close to him.

But now, just one token was frightening Mr. Ward!

The air seemed to freeze with the mood of Mr. Ward.

Jack said, "Brent, pour a glass of water for Mr. Ward."

When Mr. Ward took over the glass, he sat on the sofa. As he sipped the water, he stared at the token and gradually calmed down.

After a few minutes,

Mr. Ward opened his mouth with a gloomy expression and his eyes deep.

But his first sentence made Jack and Brent change their expressions.

"Young master, this time we really got into a terrible trouble!" Mr. Ward said.

Jack was so shocked in his heart.

What exactly did Mr. Ward mean?

Brent said in a hurry, "Mr. Ward, please stop equivocating and give us a straight answer."

Mr. Ward drank all the water in one gulp, swallowed it hard, and then said slowly.

"Young master, you know there are Wealthy Family, Long Thriving Family, Noble Family in this world."

"Their differences are easy to distinguish. The Quinn family of X City and the Burton family of the capital city are both Wealthy Families. The Zhuge family in X City is Long Thriving Family. And the Hughes family can be regarded as Noble Family."

Jack frowned, thought, and soon understood the differences.

The Quinn family and the Burton family were both Wealthy Families, but they had not flourished for a long time. They just had a lot of wealth, so they were Wealthy Families.

The ancestor of the Zhuge family in X City is Zhuge Liang, which had a long history and profound cultural background, so it was regarded as Long Thriving Family. And the Hughes family had a lot of wealth and power, so it was Noble Family.

The gaps between them were small. It was the difference between wealth and power. But actually, there was a big gap between the proportion of wealth and power. Jack rubbed his nose and looked at the "Powell" token in Mr. Ward's hand.

After a careful recollection, he said slowly, "Mr. Ward, is there the Powell family in Wealthy Family, Long Thriving Family, Noble Family?"

When people really entered the upper class, it was easy to find that the world of people who really stood at the top of the pyramid was actually very small.

What they saw and heard were totally different from ordinary people.

Jack thought about it carefully and he didn't know that there was the "Powell" family.

With a bitter smile, Mr. Ward said, "The Powell family doesn't belong to these categories, and the Powell family is Long Thriving Noble Family."

"Long Thriving Noble Family?" Jack was surprised.

Mr. Ward carefully put the "Powell" token on the sofa and said slowly.

"Long Thriving Noble Family refers to the family that integrates money, power and history. Only when a family has been prosperous for more than a thousand years and has never been in decline can it be called Long Thriving Noble Family."

"Boom!"

Although Mr. Ward's voice was low, it reverberated in the ward like thunder.

Jack was stunned.

Brent's pupil constricted, and Mr. Ward's words had gone beyond his understanding of the world!

In the ward, it was silent for nearly a minute.

Jack finally resisted his emotion of shock, rubbed his nose and whispered, "There are few families that have been prosperous for more than a thousand years in the world, right? The Rothschild family, which has a long history of prosperity, is just like an ant in front of them, right?"

"Yeah!"

Mr. Ward nodded without hesitation, then said directly, "A family like Rothschild is just small fry to the Long Thriving Noble Family."

After a pause, Mr. Ward added.

"However, the Long Thriving Noble Family are relatively low-key. If it wasn't for the critical moment when the world situation is in crisis, they would never appear in front of the world. So, we are all very strange to the Long Thriving Noble Family, and we have never even heard of them."

Mr. Ward laughed bitterly and said slowly, "If I hadn't followed Old master for many years, I would never have known the existence of the Long Thriving Noble Family, let alone that the Powell family is one of them!"

Brent was totally stunned.

Jack, looking at Mr. Ward, was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

Mr. Ward's words divided a series of families, such as Wealthy Family and Long Thriving Family, standing above the ordinary people into a higher pyramid.

And, the Long Thriving Noble Family was obviously the real existence standing at the top.

Regardless of wealth and power, a family that had been prosperous for thousands of years was enough to suppress countless families.

In the long period, some things appeared and some things disappeared, which was the law of social development. The existence of the Long Thriving Noble Family just got rid of this kind of fate. What's more, Jack noticed a sentence of Mr. Ward.

"If it wasn't for the critical moment when the world situation is in crisis, they would never appear in front of the world."

In other words, a Long Thriving Noble Family had the ability to control territory and save the world!

With the power of the family, they could control the world situation and save tens of thousands of people in the territory. It was terrible!

Although Jack tried hard to control his emotions, his heart could not calm down.

In a trance of panic, Jack felt so cold and frightened, as if he fell into the iceberg.

Jack squinted at the "Powell" token.

A ripple of fear passed through him.

Jack murmured, "Mr. Ward, what do you think of the Hughes family compared to the Long Thriving Noble Family?"

Mr. Ward was stunned. He didn't reply directly, but bowed his head and thought seriously.

Finally,

He spoke slowly,

"In terms of wealth, power and background, the Hughes family is not inferior to the Long Thriving Noble Family. The only thing worse than the Long Thriving Noble Family is the history of prosperity." After a pause, Mr. Ward added, "However, to measure the strength of a Long Thriving Family is not a simple measure of wealth and power, but an overall measure, so the Hughes family can't turn back the powers of darkness."

That meant the Hughes family was weaker than the Powell family!

Jack's pupils contracted to the extreme. His heart beat faster, and it seemed to jump out of his chest.

According to Mr. Ward's words, the Hughes family had been infinitely close to the Powell family. The only difference was the history of being prosperous. And most importantly, if the world situation was in crisis, the Hughes family wouldn't be able to control the situation!

Although the difference between the two was very small, but this little difference was also the key to distinguish them!

The feelings of doubts, fears and shock surrounded Jack.

Finally, all the feelings turned into a helpless smile, "I didn't even know there was such a horrible existence in the world, so why did they want to kill me?"

It was strange that a Long Thriving Noble Family who was so low-key came to kill Jack who was unknown under the circumstance that they didn't have grudges.

Mr. Ward looked at the "Powell" token.

With his eyes deep, Mr. Ward said with a low voice, "Now, Young master, you should not think about why the Powell family killed you, but you should worry about the reaction of the Powell family to you after they know the death of the person of the Powell family..."
