Isaac Cameron inquired once more, “So, when do you n to take action with James and Steve?”


    Charlie contemted for a moment before responding, “For the next two days, let’s observe them and see if they make any moves.”


    He then instructed, “Isaac, you have the most connections in Aurous Hill. I need you to gather all pertinent information and keep close tabs on them, regardless of where they go or what they do. Make sure to report back to me promptly!”


    Without hesitation, Isaac Cameron replied, “Master, you can count on me! I’ll handle the arrangements!”


    Charlie nodded but expressed a tinge of regret, saying, “It’s unfortunate that neither of them chose to stay at your hotel.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Isaac chuckled, “Well, Master, Walter stayed at the Aurous Hill International Hotel before he vanished. It’s only natural for his father to choose the same ce. As for James, the Banks Family is aware that this hotel belongs to the Wade family, so it’s unlikely they’d opt to stay here.”


    Curious, Charlie asked, “The Banks Family has numerous properties. Why haven’t they invested in Aurous Hill?”<fn23ed> The rightful source is Find?Novel</fn23ed>


    Isaac shook his head, exining, “A few years back, the Banks Family and the Wade family came to an agreement regarding business development. They decided that each would focus on specific areas, with the understanding that they would not encroach on each other’s territories. Aurous Hill falls under Wade jurisdiction, so there’s no Banks presence here.”


    Charlie followed up with a question: “What was the basis for this division of business territories?”


    Isaac borated, “It was a face-to-face agreement between your grandfather and Lord Banks. Given that both families are simrly powerful and thriving in business, they wanted to avoid unnecessarypetition, especially in major cities. They privately established boundaries, such as Aurous Hill being designated for the Wade family, while Southaven was assigned to the Banks Family.”


    “The Banks Family has a stronger influence in business. When the territories were divided, Southaven had significantly better prospects than Aurous Hill, so they imed the southern area first, leaving Aurous Hill to the Wade family.”


    Charlie nodded in understanding and then inquired, “If Donald Webb is the wealthiest individual in Southaven, why hasn’t he aligned himself with the Banks Family?”


    Isaac smiled and replied, “Look at the Moore family—they’re the richest in Aurous Hill but have no ties to the Wade family.”


    He continued, “The Banks and Wade families established their territories to preventpetition, forming what could be seen as a gentleman’s agreement. However, local families are typically well-entrenched, making it difficult for us to confront or overpower them.”


    “After all, both families primarily concentrate their strength in Eastcliff. China is vast, and their influence outside Eastcliff isn’t as strong,” Isaac added. “The total assets avable for investment in cities across the country are only in the hundreds of billions, and with so many first- and second-tier cities like Aurous Hill, the resources allocated to each city are rtively limited. My focus in Aurous Hill is to maintain it as a stronghold for the Wade family.”


    Isaac noted, “Aside from your Emgrand Group, there isn’t much industry here. The Wade family mainly operates hotels and several security firms, which appear unrted on the surface, along with participation in various projects. The total assets in Aurous Hill are scattered, amounting to around one to two billion, which pales inparison to the Moore family’s 100 billion.” He reflected, “My main task over the years has been to help the Wade family build connections and create aprehensive intelligencework, transforming Aurous Hill into an integral part of the Wade family’s operations, akin to an octopus’s tentacle, ensuring any disturbances can be swiftly reported.”


    Amused by the thought, Isaac added, “Honestly, if you weren’t in Aurous Hill, the Wade family wouldn’t pay much attention to this area. They have a presence nationwide, and I’m just one of their many representatives. Besides Steven Thompson, there are only a handful of spokespersons in major cities.”


    Charlie acknowledged this, saying, “I see. Since the Banks Familycks a foundation here, it works to our advantage, allowing us to take a more proactive stance.”


    Isaac concurred, “Exactly! If the Banks Family faces any issues, they would need to call for assistance from Eastcliff, which could take hours.”


    He then asked, “By the way, Master, when the timees for action, do you have any potential allies in mind?”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “Absolutely! I already have the perfect candidate in mind!”


    Intrigued, Isaac asked, “Who is it?”


    Charlie grinned and said, “Xion Banks!”
