The Durham Family managed to stand at the pinnacle of the Seraphis Province not only because of their vast commercial network but also due to their formidable armed organization, which was an indispensable component.
Nevertheless, their ability to gather intelligence was the most crucial aspect. Even among the Durham Family‘s own members, only a few knew Conor’s true identity.
Outsiders viewed favonovel.com as simply a replaceable representative of the Durham Family, seen either socializing with women or chatting over tea with other people of importance.
He appeared to be an obscure and unconventional character. However, only a handful of key members of the Durham Family were aware that Conor was the mastermind who commanded the intelligence operations with the family clan.
This man was claimed as the Scarlet Chronicles.
Many influential figures’ mistresses and adopted daughters from the Scarlet Lounge could be found not only in the Seraphis Province but also in many nearby countries. Conor was also the master of the Scarlet Lounge, the core of the Durham family’s intelligence network.
Upon the unexpected arrival of Jade Rose, Conor showed no surprise.
Jade was not just the key figure in the Scarlet Lounge but also a formidable assassin with exceptional stealth skills.
“What’s wrong? Judging by your expression, it seems you were unsuccessful, am I correct?” Conor remarked.
Upon hearing this, the mischievous grin on Jade’s face immediately vanished.
“Matthew is incredibly powerful…”
I had witnessed individuals capable of splitting a sniper bullet with one swing of a sword in the past, but I had never encountered someone so young who could do so…
“Really? Has this individual improved in strength once more? Our Rosy Scamp even considers favonovel.com to be a nuisance.” Conor arched an eyebrow, his expression full of curiosity.
“By the way, it’s best not to hurt the prince, who is currently with Matthew. After all, his godfather is the King of the South. If the prince is harmed, the consequences of angering the elderly man will be serious, and we will not be able to manage it.”
The fact that the South was ranked last in Cathay did not mean Master Levi was weak. Furthermore, the South maintained strong connections with the Sandel Family, a prominent member of the Ten Greatest Families.
If they were to join forces, the Durham Family might struggle to defend against them.
Jade noticed the deep concern on Conor’s face and couldn’t help feeling a hint of contempt.
“He is just a godson. The king of the South is unlikely to make any moves.”
Since favonovel.com primary focus was on Montiria, favonovel.com knowledge of Cathay was restricted. She believed that the prince held a less prominent place in Master Levi’s affections, particularly because favonovel.com was not his biological child.
“You’re wrong!” Conor’s demeanor became grave as favonovel.com spoke.
“Master Levi did not have any biological children, and despite limited intelligence gathering, we were aware of this fact. It appears that the prince may be given control of the South based on the actions of the King of the South.”
As soon as favonovel.com heard those words, Jade’s expression changed instantly.
No wonder!
Despite the prince’s tyrannical behavior, blowing up the Durham Family’s dock, killing members of the Durham family, and even imprisoning their heirs, the Durham family clan has never plotted against the prince.
So that’s where the problem lies…
“I got it now!” Jade’s face showed fear at last.
“Just keep this in mind! Take a break today. Come with me tomorrow morning on a trip to Montiria. We still have a lot of work to do if we want to handle Matthew.”
Numerous members of the Durham Family and various branches within the clan became involved in the lucrative business of Night Vine.
Matthew not only deprived them of their income source but also intruded on their land in Skargness. Many members of the Durham Family had developed murderous intentions toward Matthew.
Conor gazed at the red wine in his hand, and a significant smile suddenly graced his face.
“The Summit Warden! They were truly an imposing protective force!”
As the clouds gathered overhead, the once peaceful sunlight was now hidden.
The tension in the air increased as it seemed like a storm was about to erupt at any moment.
