Harper was initially filled to the brim with enthusiasm when he was assigned the task of driving a wedge between the families. Still, when he received their responses, he was dejected as he returned. "Aurelius the plan isn't working! People like Tyson and Victor are going all out! Before Victor left Stonedale, he fought with the members of his family. Now, the Albrights are in chaos, and several forces are vying for the position of the patriarch of the family. Victor doesn't want to return, nor will he budge from his choice, even when something like this happens. It's the same for all the other families."

Aurelius frowned in dismay; this situation wasn't within his calculations. He initially thought that he could pressure Victor and the others by creating chaos within their families. Nonetheless, much to his chagrin, these people had burned their bridges the moment they chose to support Matthew. Therefore, the plan failed miserably before it even started.

When Harper saw that he wasn't getting any response from Aurelius, he shrugged and asked, "Why don't we just fight them head-on?!" "Can you stop thinking about fighting all day long?" Aurelius glared fiercely at him. "Have I not made myself clear?! We can't afford such a loss!" Harper huffed, "What should we do now?"

Aurelius answered solemnly, "Since this doesn't work, let's try another one."

"Is there any other way to force those people to leave? I don't think so."

"We don't have to force them to leave." Aurelius rolled his eyes as he replied, "Many people are on Matthew's side, but there are only a handful of real martial artists. Since we can't win against them in a straight battle, we can sneak in and ambush them. Harper, call the family and request them to send a group of experts over. Then, we can sneak into Lakeside Garden and assassinate these people."

"W-What?" Harper was dumbstruck. "Are you sure this will work? There are thousands of people helping Matthew—"

Aurelius side-eyed him. "Do you think these people will surround Matthew 24/7?"

Harper blabbered, "N-No. Definitely not..."

"That's what I'm saying. Our target is Matthew, and the others are not important. We have a bigger fish to fry. This time, if we can sneak in and capture Matthew quietly, we don't have to worry about others. Even if they find out about our scheme, those experts we send in can easily escape with their abilities. Matthew is the leader of the pack, so we must cut off the head of the snake. Once we capture him, these people will be frantic without their leader. It will be a piece of cake for us to deal with them later. Do you understand what I'm getting at?"

Harper's eyes lit up in excitement. "Yes! I understand! Okay, I'll contact the family right now."

Aurelius nodded and warned, "Remember, don't let the cat out of the bag. This is an ambush, so we need to lay low. Do you hear me?"

"Yes!" Harper nodded and grinned from ear to ear. "When we capture Matthew, can you let me deal with him first? This b*stard attacked me and hurt me. I want to kill him!"

Aurelius frowned. "Let's talk about it when they capture him. We need to force him to hand over the formula of the Restoration Pill. Your injury is nothing compared to the pills. We're talking about a magic potion that is worth hundreds of billions! When we get the formula, we will definitely enter the top five of the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay, and no one will dare to look down on us anymore, get it? You can only take your revenge once we get the formula. By then, I'll personally hand him over to you, and you can do whatever you want to him."

"Alright!" Harper moved in his seat when he heard his brother's promise and nodded profusely.
