Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 1579: Chapter 912: The Information of the Elders_1 Chapter 1579: Chapter 912: The Information of the Elders_1 Early the next morning, after Leo Ray finished handling daily matters such as collecting the Recruitment Order and eating, he led Ariel Watson and his other key subordinates non-stop to leave the territory.

Just after midnight, Leo Ray received another important piece of news.

This was that all Sanders’ Trading Conferences in his controlled areas, including neutral cities in the Northern Territory, had been ordered by the family to close down. They had left the area overnight, taking important goods and wealth from the trading conferences to the Sanders Family’s sphere of influence.

The intention of Grand Duke Harrison Shelton in doing this was naturally clear.

Since the Sanders Family had openly stood against them, they would naturally not leave any handle for Leo Ray to use.

Leo Ray had anticipated this point and did not attempt to stop it, as the wealth was not important to him.

Leo Ray clearly understood that even intercepting everything would not change their current situation, but would give the Sanders Family an excuse. Undoubtedly, it would not be conducive to supporting Linda’s plan to take power.

As for the important items in the Sanders’ Trading Conferences, Leo Ray had secretly sent people to purchase them all in advance.

“From the beginning of taking control of each city, I have focused on supporting local merchants, greatly reducing the reliance on foreign capital.”

“Moreover, the main customer base of the various Sanders’ Trading Conferences is mostly wealthy merchants and nobles. Even if all are shut down, it will not have a significant impact on local commerce.”

“In addition, the trial operation of the Lord’s Logistics Network will revolutionize the efficiency of my goods transportation and circulation.”

“In short, if Grand Duke Harrison thinks that by closing the Sanders’ Trading Conferences he can hit my economy, he’s probably thinking too much.”

As Leo Ray thought about this, he had already appeared in the hall of the City Lord Mansion at Ferro Castle with his main subordinates.

Since Linda, Gael, and Kelsey had all received the family’s recall order, Leo Ray had arranged for the three of them to meet here in secret to discuss the matter of supporting Linda’s rise to power.

“Greetings, My Lord!”

In the spacious and bright Castle Hall, the three waiting members of the Sanders Family’s branch line immediately stepped forward to salute, saying in unison.

“No need for formalities, let’s get straight to the point.”

As Leo Ray waved for Taylor to isolate the hall from the outside, he nodded at Linda and the others.

“My Lord, are you really going to drive the Harrison family head from power and let me take his place at this time?”

Linda’s strong and fair face showed a rare nervous expression as she asked cautiously.

“Yes, this is something I promised you before, and I will make it happen.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly and said solemnly to Linda, “Besides, this will determine the direction of the upcoming war. Anyway, this matter is already imperative.”

Leo Ray took a deep breath and looked determined, “The branch members of the Sanders Family who have been oppressed and even trampled by the main line should also turn the tables.”

“We will do everything according to My Lord’s command!”

Hearing Leo Ray’s words, Linda, Gael, and Kelsey were all excited and nodded vigorously.

“Gael, tell us about the Sanders Family’s Elders Council. After your investigation during this period, there should be many new results, right?”

Leo Ray took the black tea handed to him by Ariel Watson and took a light sip.

Despite the ongoing war, Leo Ray had not always put off the matter of supporting Linda’s rise to power but had ordered Gael, who held a slight position in the family, to secretly investigate the internal affairs of the family as soon as he had conquered him, especially the contradictions between Harrison and some elders.

“Responding to My Lord, as you already know, the Sanders Family’s Elders Council consists of 11 respected elders.”

The burly Gael saluted Leo Ray and said, “Among them, five elders support Harrison, four are opposed to him, and two are indecisive and maintain a neutral state.”

“According to the Sanders Family’s clan rules, whether it’s a proposal from the patriarch or the Elders Council, it only needs the support of more than half of the elders to be approved and implemented.”

Gael maintained his saluting posture and summed up, “For example, this decision to participate in the power struggle, supporting the Fourth Prince, at least one of the neutral elders must have agreed, so that it could be carried out smoothly.”

“In other words, our prerequisite for supporting Linda in taking power is to win over the four suppressed elders and the two neutral elders, right?”

Leo Ray waved at Gael to continue listening without further ceremony.

“Yes, My Lord.”

Gael respectfully nodded and continued, “Among them, due to the ruthless oppression tactics that Harrison has been carrying out for many years, the interests of the four opposing elders have been continuously damaged, and their status in the clan has started to decline. Even their seats on the council of elders are precarious.”

“So, in my opinion, although it will take some effort to persuade these four opposing elders, it will not be too difficult to give them enough benefits and promises.”

Upon saying this, Gael’s determined face frowned slightly as he went on, “The problem lies with the two neutral elders.”

“These two cunning elders are slippery, they have been traversing between Harrison and the opposing elders for many years, gaining a lot of benefits, always handling everything skillfully.”

Gael’s brow furrowed even more, helplessly saying, “To make these two people support us is not an easy task.”

“Understood. First, win over the four opposing elders and then focus on winning over the two neutral elders, right?”

Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly, already having some idea in his heart.

Compared to the other two large aristocratic families stationed on the border, the Sanders Family holding a considerable part of Coldflame Kingdom’s commercial lifeline had a much stronger commercial atmosphere, and the most important thing for a merchant was “interest.”

Therefore, as long as they offered enough benefits to make them irresistible, along with a few tricks, winning the support of the elders would indeed not be an impossible task.

After all, what they had no shortage of was a massive amount of gold, silver, jewels, and various rare high-grade weapons and equipment.

“However, even though that’s the case, to elevate Linda, a member of the family’s branch line with an almost negligible position, to the position of family head is something that has never been achieved before. It most certainly won’t be easy.”

“However, just as I said earlier, this matter is already imperative and will determine the outcome of the upcoming life-and-death battle.”

Leo Ray took a deep breath and then nodded to his subordinates, “Alright, there’s no time to lose. While there’s nothing to do today, let’s go to the main city of the Sanders Family, Lionheart City, to take a look first.”
