Chapter 1444


    Well, the Johnsons… The group of elders, who only had a handful of chances of leaving the vige,


    was queuing up for fruits and snacks. They were watching the city people fighting in front of the queue.


    It was undeniable that they did not have the right to say anything at the gathering. Therefore, they did


    not have the courage to be involved inpeting for the naming right. After all, they were merely Anna


    and Sophia’s adoptive family. The meeting, which resembled more like a conference for the fight ofst


    names, was about tomence.


    The families were already loudly arguing before the meeting could even start. They all had their


    reasons and excuses. Thanks to their family backgrounds, none of them were willing to take a step


    back, especially when it came to the naming rights. They seemed ready to fight to their deaths for that.


    Meanwhile, some were just there to watch the fun, such as Harry, Stanley and Quinton. They were


    busy watching the events unfold before their eyes.


    Anna, Callum, Cooper and Linus were also present while Sophia and Michael were busy running


    around to arrange everything. They were worried that the atmosphere could be intense to the


    point where the different families would start a brawl.


    On the other hand, Carmen led her partners to peddle sweets and essories below the stage. She


    also took the opportunity to hand out flyers for Sophia’s Remote Mountains Health Club Project and


    Cryopreservation Project.


    Soon, the auspicious time had arrived. There was a stage in the conference room, so Sophia picked up


    the microphone. She then gently cleared her throat before announcing, “‘The Cethosian-Western


    European Last Name Culture Forum’ is about tomence. Let’s put our hands together for the


    renowned Metaphysics Grandmaster, Master Levine!”


    The crowd below were at a loss for words when they heard that. Wasn’t this supposed to be a sh of


    power and strength? I thought that we might be risking our lives if a fight breaks out. Isn’t that why


    those who are here to watch have to prepare their own bulletproof vest? Why is the atmosphere


    completely different from what we expected?


    Stanley loosened the bulletproof vest that he wore before removing his explosion-proof helmet from his


    head. He earnestly continued watching the progress.


    Daniel walked up onto the stage under the scrutiny of the crowd. I didn’t want to show up! However,


    Michael imed that if I were to fail to handle this situation, he would send over Judge and both


    generations of its litter of puppies to my ce for a summer vacation!


    Once he walked up onto the stage, he saw Alice who was among the Michels and Casper seated


    beside her. I have to be here today.


    After calming down, Daniel passionately started his speech, “Greetings, everybody. My name is Daniel


    Levine and it bears the meaning of soaring aspirations. It is my honor to host this forum on this fine


    day. Before the forum begins, let’s start the ball rolling by watching a theatrical performance!”


    The audience’s expression gradually turned cold and distant. The regr army from the Fletcher


    Family, the mercenary from the Yard Family, the hackers from the Mitchell Family and the nuclear


    bombs from the Michel Family were all ready for action, so who could possibly be interested in


    watching the theatrical performance?


    It is time for the theatrical performance! Carmen hastily tossed her merchandise basket aside before


    climbing up the stage. When the lights were switched on again, she was already striking a pose. The


    music started ying and she started her hip-hop dance routine. I must have a solo performance


    during such an event!


    After watching her dance, the elders’ initially cold expressions slowly turned into a smile. She is such


    an angel! Hang on, we have to appear more warm and friendlyter. We must not scare the child away.


    After the theatrical performance, the atmosphere significantly lightened. Once Carmen walked down


    the stage, Daniel went up again to continue hosting the event.


    “Be it Cethos or the Western Countries, we all have our own unique and long history of surname


    cultures. Today, the Michels from Europe together with the Yards as well as the Fletchers and Mitchells


    are gathered here. Everybody is here for the selection ofst names of Miss Sophia Edwards and her


    kid, Carmen Fletcher. Now, I’d like to invite everyone to voice their opinions. Let’s start by inviting the


    representative from the Michel Family who hase a long way!”


    Brilliant! After beating around the bush for the whole day, we have finally entered the main topic! The


    audience held their breath in anticipation.


    The atmosphere was somber when the elder from Michel Group, who was Linus’ adoptive father and


    Alice’s biological father, went up to the stage. He was there as a representative from the Michel Family


    today to voice his opinion.


    He was also the Grand Elder of the Michel Family, so he had an abundance ofworks within the


    group. Before Cooper’s return, he was the recognized family head within the Michel Family and the


    candidate for the director position. Unfortunately, with Fass’ sudden return all those years ago, the


    Michel Group was steered in apletely different direction by him. Fass did everything he could to


    turn the tides and he became the family head and group director, causing Linus’ adoptive father to be


    pushed to second ce in the end.


    Later, he retired from the group while his biological daughter, Alice, and his adoptive son, Linus,


    continued to hold important positions within the group. Hence, his status within the Michel Family


    remained unaffected.


    A majority of the members within the Michels’ Family Elders Council ovepped with thepany’s


    board of directors—they were often more forceful, domineering and intense as well. After all, they


    possessed nuclear weapons.


    The elder took a forceful stance once he started speaking. In fact, he seemed adamant about his


    ims. “The Michel Family has been standing tall in society for centuries, so we have a long history. It


    is only natural to adopt our family name if one were to join our family. Furthermore, members of the


    Michel Family are not allowed to marry outsiders. If one were to marry out of the family, it means that


    they’ve abandoned our family name. Therefore, they will have to sever ties with the Michels. We are


    the glorious Michel Family! We cannot allow ourst name and bloodline to be stranded in destitution!


    This means that both Lucile and Gianna have to return to the family and they have to change their


    family names to Michel. As for Mr. Murray and Madam Anna, they have both sessfully joined the


    Michel Family via marriage. Hence, they have to change theirst names too.”


    The Michel Family had possessed such an intense aura that it made them look extremely aggressive.


    Nevertheless, the Yards were scornful whereas the Mitchells were staring daggers at them in return.


    The Fletcher Family was furious, but the Johnson family was oblivious to the events unfolding before


    them as they thought, What are the d*mn foreigners talking about?


    Daniel was shocked by the intensity that the Michel Family radiated and he thought, No wonder such a


    spirited person, such as Alice, didn’t have the courage to fight for me. After that, he pushed himself to


    continue hosting the event. “Next, let’s invite the Yard Family’s representative from North America.”


    The Yards’ representative walked onto the stage to deliver his speech. He mentioned the glorious days


    from when the Yard Family possessed imperial power until the current business empire they have


    today. In the end, he emphasized, “The Yard Family is an imperial family, so every family member


    shares the unlimited glory. This is also the reason why we can never allow a Yard to be left out alone. A


    descendant of the family has to bear thest name of Yard! We aren’t forcing the generation of Sophia


    and Linus, but one of Sophia’s unborn children has to bear the Yard Family name.”


    The Mitchells cried out, “Sophia and Linus have already given up the Mitchell Family name. Therefore,


    the next generation has to carry the Mitchell family name!”


    The Fletchers yelled, “Are you trying to get a member of our family to change hisst name? Talk to the


    hand!”


    At this moment, the Johnsons tried to make amends and soothe the growing tension. “Please do not be


    angry. Everyone should try to calm down since peace is to be valued!”


    The atmosphere was finally moving forward in an expected direction—everything was intense and it felt


    that sparks would start to fly in all directions soon. Stanley hastily wore his explosion-proof helmet while


    tightening his bulletproof vest as well.


    A sheen of cold sweat formed across Daniel’s forehead. He tried to brush it off by chuckling awkwardly.


    “The world is such a huge ce; there is constantly a variety of extraordinary things happening. In fact,


    there are all sorts of different traditions and practices everywhere in the world. Hence, it is only natural


    to have conflicts at times. Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Next, it’s time for an


    advertisement. Let’s invite Miss Sophia Edwards to share more about her new project! Let’s give her a


    round of apuse!”


    The audience was dumbfounded. Why are they showing an advert as usual under extraordinary


    circumstances?

    The sudden change of segments was especially obvious among the family members, who looked


    utterly bewildered. We are here to talk business! Why are they taking full advantage by advertising
