Chapter 1293 Lucius Jordan Of The Jordan Family

Brimmopolis, the Jordan family residence.

In the garden pavilion.

A thin and sprightly Elton Jordan who was dressed in a black tunic was in the middle of playingchess with his confidant and adviser, Stuart Walsh.

Old Master Jordan used to be a big shot in the military, but he had always regretted not reaching thepinnacle of authority before being forced to step down.

However, he still had significant influence over the military even though he was retired.

The Jordan family was still a behemoth of the nation and one of the nation's most elite families.

After Old Master Jordan retired, he dedicated most of his time and energy to training and educatinghis descendants in hopes of fulfilling his lifelong wish of reaching the apex of authority.

At that moment, he picked up a white chess piece and struck the chessboard.

He then asked Stuart casually, "Old friend, who do you think is the most capable descendant of theJordan family?"

Stuart had been Old Master Jordan's subordinate ever since he was a teenager. They had alwaysbeen together through hell and high water, so he was regarded as one of Old Master Jordan's mosttrusted friends.

He had always been Old Master Jordan's advisor, so when Old Master Jordan retired, he followedsuit and became his personal aide.

While staring at the chessboard, Stuart shook his head and said, "Old Master Jordan, thedescendants of the Jordan family are all extremely talented. Who am I to decide which one of themis better?"

Old Master Jordan smiled when he heard this, then signaled at his bodyguards and servants toretreat with a wave of his hand.

Only then did he look at Stuart, who was sitting across from him, and smiled lightly, "Old friend, Ireally do want to hear your opinion."

Stuart raised his head and smiled wryly, "Old Master Jordan, how can you ask me to say somethingthat offends people?"

It was indeed the truth.

Old Master Jordan has several sons and a few dozen grandsons.

Recently, he had been making big moves all around. Many speculated that he was going to befocusing on training a successor for the Jordan family, and might even make the successor head ofthe Jordan family.

Everyone in the Jordan family wanted to be the family's successor.

If Stuart were to comment on what he thought of the descendants, he would evoke both thefondness and resentment of the Jordan family descendants.

Old Master Jordan smiled and reassured his confidant, "Don't worry. No one else will know aboutthis.”

When he heard Old Master Jordan say this, Stuart could only reflect on the question carefullybefore giving his answer, "Old Master Jordan, although all your sons have extraordinary

qualifications, they cannot hold a candle to you. I'm afraid they do not have what it takes to fulfilyour aspirations."

When he heard this, Old Master Jordan fell silent and nodded.

Stuart continued speaking, "Among your grandsons, there are quite a few talented individuals,especially your eldest grandson, Lucius Jordan. He is an outstanding man, and I believe he has alot of potential to attain your dream."

Old Master Jordan smiled bitterly when he heard this. "I also know that Lucius Jordan is brilliant. Hehas been a genius ever since he was little. However, this youngster is a little arrogant and hard-edged. I plan to teach him on how to control his temperament, then wait until he's past forty yearsold and has complete control over his frame of mind before using him."

Stuart chuckled and replied, "Lucius is indeed a little hard-edged. However, his capabilities is whatmakes him worthy of acting that way. Young people should have a youthful vigor. Just think aboutthe General, Nathan Cross. He's not even thirty years old, and yet he's already the General of theNorth. I don't think Lucius would lose to Nathan Cross. If you give him a chance, he would mostdefinitely shine brighter than Nathan Cross."

Old Master Jordan fell into deep thought when he heard Stuart's words.

Stuart resumed speaking, "Teaching Lucius to control his temperament is a good thing, but you'renot getting younger and you can't afford to wait any longer."

Old Master Jordan finally made up his mind. "Alright. He shall be my successor then. Go spread theword to all of my subordinates and people to promote

Lucius, and make sure to slander Nathan Cross's name. I want to drag Nathan Cross out of hisposition as the General of the North and replace him with Lucius."

"Yes, Old Master Jordan!" Stuart replied before remembering something, "There's another matter."

"What is it?" Old Master Jordan questioned.

"Myles Carney of the Carney family came to complain about their mistreatment in the hands ofNathan Cross. They're begging you to do them justice," Stuart exclaimed.

Old Master Jordan furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "That kid Nathan Cross. Even my relatives arefeeling restless. First, he did that to my protege, Tristan Westwood. Now, he's made an example ofone of my old units, Myles Carney. He's getting too full of himself. Tell Myles to calm down becauseI have a plan." "Yes, sir!" Stuart responded.
