Chapter 746 Open Family Meeting
The Nickle family conference attracted everyone from the base, and the meeting hall was so packed that there was no room to move. The meeting was presided over by Elder Russell, who had become the most convincing person in the entire base.
Xius also "attended" the meeting. His hands were firmly tied, of course, just to prevent him from undressing again. Lina, with swollen eyes, stood by his side, pressing down on his restless hands. All members of the Nickle family had arrived.
Inside the meeting hall was a huge round table. Only key figures could sit at the round table to participate in the meeting; the rest had to sit or even stand around the table.
Only Su Jin and Lu Hao from the Heart Talk Team came to the meeting. They were seated next to Qiao and were also part of the round table.
Originally, Qiao had invited the entire Heart Talk Team, but the invitation was declined by the family, reasoning that since they wouldn’t understand, it would suffice to hear Su Jin’s account afterward.
Many came with the mentality of watching a good show, as they were most curious about how the Nickle family would deal with the scandal within their ranks. The glances that fell upon Xius slowly shifted from curiosity to amusement and even mockery.
The members of the Nickle family all hung their heads low. The face of the family was of utmost importance, especially for such a prominent clan, and now it had all been thrown away by Xius in one night.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Nickle family’s conference. I am very thankful that you all came. As the elder of the Nickle family for two consecutive terms, it’s also my honor to preside over this meeting,"
said Elder Russell. As he started to speak, the previously chaotic scene quieted down. This somewhat aged elder seemed to possess a kind of venerable authority that made everyone present involuntarily feel respect.
