Chapter 234
"I’m a Silver-class member of this club..." Jimmy indirectly responded to my question about his presence here.
The Global Trade Union was a gathering ground for the world’s elite affluent. While many sought entry, the club maintained stringent membership criteria, assessing factors like intelligence, wealth, capability, and social standing. Essentially, it served as a playground for the rich and powerful.
Jimmy subtly suggested to Dexter and me that to uncover the truth, gaining membership in this club was paramount.
"Entering this club isn’t a walk in the park," Jimmy remarked with a smirk. "In Huma, the only member with a higher rank than mine is the enigmatic president of Crowdstar Group, who holds the coveted Gold class."
"Damien Coleman, the president of Coleman Group, is currently a Silver-class member. He was endorsed by his mother, Lisa Smith."
Jimmy smiled as he continued, "Andy Black was among the top ten members of the club, representing Huma alone."
"Despite my father’s efforts to seek Andy’s recommendation, he consistently declined, leading my father to feel slighted. This caused a rift between them, so now my father takes pride in my achievement of joining the club."
This likely fueled the discord within the Blacks. After all, Martin was exceedingly ambitious and prideful, always striving to ascend the social ladder.
As far as I understood, the Global Trade Union held significant sway over the world’s economic landscape. Joining such an organization would grant us access to its influential networks and resources, undoubtedly expanding our opportunities.
It was fair to say that excelling in a particular field, whether it be medicine, science, or another domain, and securing membership in the club, would elevate one above the average person. This was regardless of their prior obscurity or lack of possessions.
The club imposed strict criteria for its hierarchy, with its top echelon consisting of global tycoons often featured in the news. These individuals typically wielded immense influence over their respective countries’ economic landscapes, shaping national economies.
