The members of the Damron Family looked at Aurelius simultaneously as they shared the same opinion.
“I didn’t say that I would give up!” Aurelius shrugged in resignation.
“But we have to devise a strategy or something to get rid of Matthew, right? Or do you want to follow Harper’s suggestion to just assign our men from Bainbridge and fight head-to-head with those families in Eastshire and Stonedale?”
“Of course, we would eventually come out on top with our power, but has it ever crossed your mind how many of our men will die if we do this? Have you ever wondered what price we will have to pay if we push forward? As you all know, the selection of Cathay’s Ten Greatest Families will be held soon…”
“If we get rid of those families but suffer a great loss ourselves, do you think we will stand a chance to be selected then? Are you f*cking out of your mind?!”
The people present were rendered speechless at his tongue-lashing. They exchanged glances and didn’t know what to say.
Harper looked embarrassed as favonovel.com stammered in a low voice, “W-What do you think we should do then?”
Aurelius intoned seriously, “There are at least thousands of people from those families in Eastcliff protecting Matthew, so it is impossible to confront them head-on. But we don’t have to go head-to-head with them.”
“What do you mean?” Harper’s eyes lit up.
“Victor said that there are at least three thousand people in his family, but only 300 people came to Eastcliff with him, which means that only these many people in the family support his decision to help Matthew, while 2,000-something people do not. All we have to do is divide and conquer by tearing their families apart by putting pressure on those who do not support Victor’s decision…”
“At that time, a civil war will break out within the Albrights. Think, when that happens, will Victor continue to stay in Eastcliff to help Matthew, or will favonovel.com go back to settle his own family affairs?”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard his plan.
Harper beamed in excitement. “What a brilliant idea! Anyway, not just the Albrights but the families in Stonedale and Eastshire have the same problem. Not everyone in the family wants to fight against us…”
“We can use these people to create an internal conflict. At that time, Matthew will eventually lose all his support. The others will curse even Victor and his ilk for their unwise decision! It will also be a piece of cake for us to pick them off!”
“Good, you finally got the hang of it,” Aurelius smiled lightly and nodded. “That’s right, let them fight among themselves. Harper, send a message in our family’s name to those left behind. Tell them that whoever can solve this problem will receive our full assistance and become the new patriarch of their respective families.”
Harper quickly nodded. “Okay, I’ll do it now!”
Immediately afterward, favonovel.com personally contacted the remaining members of the dozen or so families in Stonedale and Eastshire. He intimidated and drove a wedge between them, urging them to go to Eastcliff and deal with their own people. Regardless, they soon discovered that this trick did not work.
Before Victor, Tyson, and their likes arrived at Eastcliff, they had already severed ties with their families, which were already in chaos.
In other words, these people burned their bridges in order to help Matthew. Thus, no matter what happened to their families, they would not return.
Aurelius’ plan was brilliant but ultimately useless in the face of their tactics as favonovel.com couldn’t dissolve Matthew’s forces at all!
