Chapter 231 Conspiracy and Strategy_2
"Grock and his Sawtooth Chamber of Commerce are not easy to deal with." Feistin gently wiped his mouth, suddenly speaking with a meaningful reminder.
Luo Yan nonchalantly continued slicing his steak, speaking in a casual tone, "I've already noticed him."
"Why bother with that guy," Vivian yawned, speaking carelessly, "Such minor characters, what's the point of wasting words? If they're disobedient, just kill them."
Her tone was casual, yet carried an air of decisive dominance, as if discussing how to crush a trembling mouse cornered against a wall.
One must admit, her style certainly had the flair of Caesar Colin and was completely opposite to her weak father... No wonder Prince Colin favored this precious granddaughter so much.
Mia raised an eyebrow lightly, looking at Luo Yan, curious about his reaction. Feistin merely chuckled quietly, not speaking, seemingly wanting to see how Luo Yan would respond to his sister.
Luo Yan glanced at Vivian, patiently saying, "When a few weeds appear in your garden, what you should do is not to burn down the entire garden and start over, but to prune it cleverly and let it become nourishment for the garden at the right time. Otherwise, you'll exhaust yourself and end up gaining nothing."
If someone else had said those words, Vivian might have sneered contemptuously and mocked them.
However, the speaker was, after all, her brother, who had once defeated her severely, and she couldn't help but yield.
There was no choice; the memory was too deeply etched. Even thinking about it today made her shudder involuntarily.
Vivian fell into contemplation, tilting her head meaningfully, her previously unruly demeanor now obedient like a kitten.
"But why? Are we just deliberately leaving it there to let it draw nutrients from your garden?"
Luo Yan chuckled lightly, casually lifting a piece of meat with his fork, cutting it as if discussing an ordinary gardening task.
"Because, Grock is a bait. As for absorbing nutrients from my garden, once you have your own territory, you'll understand that such trivial gains are insignificant. You can even see it as the temporary deposit of fate."
"Since he likes this false sense of ownership and is adept at drawing nutrients from the soil, let's let him hold onto it for a while; after all, destroying him is a matter of minutes."
Hearing this, Vivian became intrigued, sitting up straight, looking at Luo Yan with keen interest.
"Bait? What do you mean? Is there a bigger fish?"
"Of course," Luo Yan said slowly, "Do you think he would dare to make three demands of me if he had no backing? Not to mention three demands, I bet he wouldn't even dare to say three punctuation marks."
Feistin's eyes glowed with a hint of appreciation.
"Brilliant."
Mia's eyes also sparkled, twinkling like little stars.
Receiving this gentleman's praise, the corners of Luo Yan's mouth slightly lifted, revealing a mysterious smile, speaking slowly.
"My intuition tells me that Grock is bait thrown at me by the Dragon family to lure me into action. But they haven't realized that when a fish is strong enough, it can drag both the person and the fishing rod into the river. But until then, we all need to maintain adequate patience."
Vivian widened her eyes slightly, showing a surprised expression, while Mia rested her chin on her hand, looking at Luo Yan with keen interest, beginning to anticipate his scheme.
Feistin gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, smiling faintly, with a deep gaze: "Sounds like you're ready to cast the net?"
"Indeed," Luo Yan said indifferently, looking up at Feistin, "I'm almost tired of their endless little tricks; perhaps the Dragon family should have a new family head."
At the moment his words fell, the atmosphere in the dining room subtly shifted.
There was no one else here, nothing to hide.
Mia narrowed her eyes, a subtle smile playing on her lips, while Vivian's eyes lit up, excitement causing her to clench her fists.
"Sounds...like it'll be fun." she said enthusiastically, licking her lips.
She enjoyed a bloody spectacle the most!
Feistin lightly tapped his wine glass, nodding slightly, his tone deeply meaningful.
"Then let me see how you plan to cast the net."
Changing the head of the Dragon family.
What bold ambition!
However, he didn't dislike ambitious young people, especially when he saw his younger self in this young man.
People always thought he achieved his current status through Serena's favor, but never considered why Serena chose him over others.
No family, which has endured for long in Hell, is easy to deal with.
The Padric family is thus.
The Dragon family certainly is as well.
Even though the latter had some misfortune over the past two years...
Luo Yan took a small sip of wine, smiling without speaking.
"It's already begun."
...
The most brilliant strategies are often open conspiracies.
However, this doesn't mean everyone can hear the sound of pieces falling at the start or realize his ulterior motives.
The Dragon family wouldn't realize that a small pump could become the leverage point to move all of Black Wind Castle. Nor would Snick, who raised the issue, have thought that a small character like him was already in the game.
