“Oh, my God!”


    Sean couldn’t contain his shock as he eximed, “Don Albert actually carved the words ‘pathetic jerk’ into Cain’s son’s forehead?! If that doesn’t scream deep-seated hatred, I don’t know what does!”


    “Absolutely,” Donald replied with a slight smile. “Cain and his son can only fantasize about getting rid of Don Albert!”


    Curious, Sean asked, “Dad, if you know there’s a rivalry between Cain and Don Albert, why did you still invite Cain to the banquet dinner tonight?”


    With another smile, Donald exined, “Isn’t this a perfect opportunity for us? Cain is like a stray dog that wants to bite butcks the courage. What he needs is someone to support him, so he can find the confidence to act.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Sean responded, “But if you n to use Cain, why hold the banquet at The Heaven Springs? Given their animosity, isn’t thatplicating things for yourself?”


    Donald regarded Sean thoughtfully and replied, “Cain and Don Albert are both dogs, but there’s a key difference: Cain is a stray with no master, while Don Albert has the backing of the powerful Moore family.”


    Sean nodded and asked, “So, what’s your ultimate goal here, Dad?”


    “If you intend to marry Jasmine one day, you need to show your influence in Aurous Hill. Although the elite families are polite to us, they don’t truly see us as equals. They view the Moore family as the real power here. We must cultivate our own strength in Aurous Hill.”


    Donald continued, “In this world, there are two types of forces: public and underground. The public forces consist of reputable families engaged in legitimate business, while the Lloyd family and Don Albert represent the underground forces. If we can’t take Don Albert down, we should train someone who can. I believe the Lloyd family is well-suited for that role.”


    Looking intently at Sean, Donald offered a serious warning. “To inherit the Webb family legacy, you need to be strategic. Do you understand why I invited Cain to dinner at The Heaven Springs tonight?”


    “First, I want to surprise Cain. He’s just a stray with no support, yet here he is dining with someone as powerful as me.”


    “At the same time, I want to humiliate him. As a stray, he will have to swallow his pride when faced with his enemy, Don Albert. This humiliation will only fuel his desire for revenge. When the time is right, I’ll extend an offer to him to be my ally. This will give him a chance for vengeance, and he’ll be grateful, eager to help us take down Don Albert.”


    “Once Don Albert, the mob boss of the underground world, is dethroned, the Webb family will rise to power. Do you see my n now?”


    Sean’s eyes widened in realization. “Dad, that’s brilliant! Cain will view you and the Webb family as his saviors! The Lloyd family can pave the way for our entry into Aurous Hill.”


    “Exactly. This is how we secure Aurous Hill as an unassable stronghold for the Webb family.”


    Sean admired his father’s cunning, sighing, “I just wish I could have even a fraction of your talent someday, Dad…”


    Donald chuckled softly and said, “Your current demeanor is already reminiscent of my younger self. Just gain more experience, think things through, and practice patience.”


    Taking his father’s words to heart, Sean responded, “I understand now!”


    “Good,” Donald nodded, satisfied. “Now, regarding Jasmine, be patient and steady, like an eagle watching its prey. Make sure to win her over and bring her into the Webb family!”


    Sean replied earnestly, “I will, Dad! I won’t let you down!”<fn83fc> Readplete version only at FindN()vel</fn83fc>
