I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 240: All in is a kind of wisdom, you don’t understand
Just when the head of the Mayfair family was still daydreaming at the table.

The elders who truly care about the family are listening to the news coming over the phone.

"Have you confirmed its authenticity?"

the old black woman asked the young woman who answered the phone.

"It's confirmed. His shadow is indeed involved in the recent disturbance over there."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the many old men next to the black old lady darkened.

One of the white old ladies with gray hair and heavy makeup immediately spoke in a shrill voice.

"That kind of business cannot be carried out without a strong enough umbrella of protection. The little city councillors are just white gloves in public."

"The people who benefit from this are usually high-ranking officials in state government."

"It involves so many people, and it's outside the state of Louisiana. I think we should just stay out of it this time."

"I think so."

Next to the white old lady, another old woman dressed in black and wearing a retro top hat also spoke up in agreement.

"Since Lasher's death, we have extended olive branches to him time and again, but he just passively accepted it and never showed any goodwill to us."

"This behavior makes me begin to doubt whether our previous overtures to good will were one-sided."

"This time, he also clearly understood that the gift from the Mayfair family was not blown by the wind."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lady who was stroking the kitten in her arms continued the conversation.

"He acted too recklessly, relying on his extraordinary status to not even take high-ranking officials seriously."

"I think we have done enough. If we get involved again, we will probably have to bear serious consequences in the future."

"Serious consequences?"

After hearing what the noble lady said, the elders who had not expressed their opinions before also became curious.

“Apart from the state government, are there other bigwigs involved?”

"The transaction in that manor involves the son of a certain high-ranking official."

The lady petting the kitten replied.

"which one?"

"The unpromising second son of a certain old man in the Senate. You should have heard of his name."

Hearing this name, the expressions of many people in the field began to change.

It’s not that they are afraid of the Senate’s reputation, but everyone thinks of the same person in their minds.

An expert in foreign policy and politics, and a popular figure in the Democratic Party, he has had a smooth political career, becoming a senator at a young age and has been re-elected ever since.

In his camp, he seems to have no special features, but he is a ruthless person who is good at pretending to be confused.

The family is happy and the eldest son is capable, but the second son is a lunatic with corrupt morals and all five vices.

Even though his deeds were known to the top brass, his brother and father still loved him and even allowed him to work in the government.

The shrewd old man was not deceived by his son, but was out of guilt for his deceased wife and dead little daughter.

A car accident many years ago took the lives of his wife and one-year-old daughter.

This was a huge blow to the old man who valued his family, and he became even more protective of his son.

No matter what unscrupulous things this youngest son does, he will clean up his mess.

"So he's the one taking a cut from this deal?"

As one of the few candidates in the country with a chance of becoming president, the Mayfair family had to weigh the cost of falling out with him.

"The situation is now very clear."

The old white lady who spoke first spoke again.

"There is no need for us to offend the most powerful class in this country for a supernatural being who treats us indifferently."

“This will greatly deplete the political resources held by the family.”

"Everyone, what do you think?"

After hearing this, combined with the information previously revealed by the noble lady, many of the elders of the Mayfair family began to whisper to each other.

Based on the current situation, it would be wise to give up maintaining the relationship with Su Fan.

"Are you all done?"

The old black woman who had remained silent finally spoke.

"That's it. Now it's my turn." "My opinion is, continue to support."

"Support? Support for what?"

"Support the kid who almost went to war with the family?"

The black old lady's words aroused dissatisfaction from the old woman who had spoken earlier, and she asked back aggressively in front of everyone.

The other members of the Presbyterian Church also looked at the black old lady.

"Yes."

The old black woman nodded without hesitation.

"You're old, Lawrence."

"Aging has made you extremely cowardly. If we had worked together that day, we might have been able to take down that young man."

"Once they gain access to his powerful secrets, the Mayfair family will soar to new heights."

"But at the critical moment, you actually took the lead in seeking peace, and even led the tribesmen present to kneel down."

"If I were there, I would never allow that to happen."

Faced with the white woman's confident declaration, the old lady called Lawrence just shook her head.

"If you were there, the Mayfair family would be ruined."

"You didn't witness it firsthand, so you can't understand the weight of the word 'superb'."

"I still stick to my previous belief. No matter what happens, I must firmly support Chieftain Ron and help him as much as possible."

Hearing this, the white old woman became furious, her face covered in white powder was distorted with anger, and she stood up from her seat.

"Are you obsessed with the material and financial resources you spent on that person in the past?"

"You have a typical gambler mentality. You are using your entire family as a bargaining chip to gamble on a future that does not exist!"

The white old woman's accusation did not shake Lawrence at all, instead he smiled.

She looked around at the many elders here and spoke loudly.

"The Mayfair family has reached the point where they have to make a decision. I know that most of the members here are thinking about the same things they did in business or politics before."

"Some people support this side, and others support the opposing side. No matter which side wins, the family will benefit."

"But this won't work in front of that person."

"Only if we go all out and solve his problems without him knowing, will we be able to win his attention."

"Don't forget how bad our relationship with him was in the beginning. The reason why many members of the family are still alive is all thanks to Ron."

After hearing this, some neutrals could no longer sit still.

"Laurence, I understand your thoughts, but don't you think this is too humble?"

"The Mayfair family is very important in both the political and business circles. Why would they lower themselves to please one person?"

As soon as she finished her words, Lawrence scolded her!

"Saying good things will only lead to losing everything! Now is the best time. We took the wrong stand before. Are we going to lose this rare opportunity because of this?"

“Whether I can truly establish a connection with that person depends entirely on this time.”

"Jill just said that I was gambling. Yes, I was gambling."

"And it's Stud!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Elders' Council understood Lawrence's attitude.

"If you want to flatter that brat, go ahead, but I won't allow you to drag your family down with you!"

Jill's face turned pale, and he made up his mind not to let people from his bloodline faction get involved.

But the next words from the black old lady, Lawrence, made him stand there in a daze.

"It's too late. I have already made my position clear to them and stressed that this is the decision of the Mayfair family."

"you!"

Everyone present was shocked and angry.

But Lawrence snorted disdainfully.

What do these people know?
Stud is a kind of wisdom.
