Chapter 7274

"Mr. Dan, Ms. Coco," Camellia said slowly, a trace of solemnity flickering in her eyes. "While it's true that the reason I gave up Platinum Casino is so I can get my son back, the problem is that it's something we Jacksons have built with a lot of effort. "Between connections, information, and wealth, only wealth can be replaced. The rest is nearly irreplaceable. Handing it over to some young pup is a massive loss for us, and it's not something I can willingly accept. Not to mention, Harvey is someone frighteningly adept at leveraging power. "I have no doubt he'll use Platinum Casino against us. When that happens, we're going to suffer." Coco could hear the resentment in Camellia's words and said softly, "It's true all of this has slipped beyond our control. In our original plan, Harvey couldn't possibly do anything to us, no matter how capable he is. At most, he'd get it in name while we still pull the strings from behind the scenes. "We didn't expect him to pull the rug right under us and recruit Lanny. She's resentful of my brother, so she can act decisively and solve problems that Harvey couldn't. All I can say is that she's both cunning and ruthless. With her involved, we didn't exactly lose without good reason." "That woman!" Dan, who had been silent until now, finally burst out. "I gave her so much! When she was locked in, I pulled so many strings so she could stay alive! I even paid a huge price to get her out! So what if I didn't agree to make her my wife? Is this how she repays us? What is the difference between her and that traitor Clarion? I really wish I could kill her!" Dan gritted his teeth. Compared to difficult enemies, traitors who used to be his allies and fought against him with all their might made them grow angrier even more. "Alright, everyone. I know all of you are furious. I think I'd be more than happy to see Harvey, Clarion, and Lanny dead," said Gaius Hoffman. He was nicknamed "Poisonless", usually the most unassuming among them. He was known as a man of thought and strategy. After Lanny had been imprisoned in the Forbidden Wasteland, Dan had depended on him. Gaius said meaningfully, "Alright, everyone. It's pointless if all of us gathered here just to vent our frustrations. If outsiders get wind of this, it won't benefit us at all. We'd just be mocked as fools. What we need now is not empty talk. Instead, we should focus on stabilizing the current situation in Grand City. "The Hierophant's birthday party is only a few days away. If things worsen, it will affect a lot of people in making their choices and jeopardize Mr. Dan's rise. And currently, we have a few critical matters we must resolve urgently."
