“I got it. ”
Shane nodded in response and said, “How are the preparations for the god election going?”
Cleo replied, “Don’t worry, I’m taking care of it.”
***
Back at Fennel’s private manor, Philip, Fennel, and Steven sat together.
Fennel’s face was grim as favonovel.com asked, “What do you plan to do?”
Philip was silent as favonovel.com looked at the intelligence sent by Steven. After a while, favonovel.com said to Steven, “I need more information about the Lovelace family in the West. We can negotiate the price.”
Steven frowned and said, “Mr. Clarke, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but my authority is limited. The authority lies with my father. I need to ask favonovel.com about this.”
Philip nodded. Steven quickly got up, walked aside, and made a call.
“Father, this is Steven. I’m with Mr. Clarke now. He needs more information about the Lovelace family,” Steven said respectfully to the person on the other end of the line.
A stern voice rang out. “Steven, you should know that any information comes with a corresponding price. Mr. Clarke has not met our previous conditions, so the Smith family will not provide any more information.”
“Father, Mr. Clarke is my friend. Can you be more flexible? This is also an opportunity for our Smith family to befriend the Clarkes. Do you want to pass up this opportunity?” Steven asked.
There was silence on the other end of the line, then the sound of tapping on the table. After a while, the person on the other end of the phone replied, “Steven, you have to remember that you’re the one who did this. You didn’t receive my consent. Do you understand? I’m not the only person with the final say in the Smith family.”
“I understand.” Steven immediately understood his father’s meaning.
After ending the call, Steven quickly received the encrypted information. All intelligence was embossed with the Smith family’s crest on the cover.
“Mr. Clarke, this is the information you want. I’m now a sinner of the Smith family.” Steven hurried over, transmitted the information to the iPad, and handed it to Philip.
Philip glanced at it and said, “Steven, don’t worry. You’re my friend. I’ll help you.”
After saying that, Philip did not hesitate. The three of them read the information about the Lovelace family in the West. After reading it, they had a general understanding of the Lovelace family’s sphere of influence in the West.
Fennel said grimly, “I didn’t expect the Lovelace family’s power in the West to actually be hidden so deeply. They even have dealings with several sacred halls and are involved in the development of the essence of life.”
Although the Hall of the Sun had its own intelligence agency, it could not do everything it wanted either. In terms of intelligence, the Smith family was still one of the best at gathering it.
Philip looked at the information in his hand, and his face gradually filled with gloom. He said, “The Lovelace family has disappeared from the country for many years. After working hard in the West for so long, it’s not surprising that they’ve achieved such results. The important thing is whether the Lovelace family can gain recognition in the West. If I make a move against them, will these sacred halls and forces jump out to stop me?”
