When Noah met Qi Yuan, he had only been the head of the family for three months and was not very familiar with how to be the head of the family.

Furthermore, an uncle was eyeing him covetously, so he thought he should wait a year or two before making any decisions.

But when he learned that Daphne had brought Lennon home to cause trouble, and that Lennon had come to him to swagger after the trouble was over, he was shocked.

At that moment, Noah felt like a turtle, someone who could step on him.

If the head of the family is so incompetent, then it's better not to be the head at all.

So he couldn't bear it anymore and shot Lennon twice.

As a result, the old man in the family didn't say a word, and even when Sera came to visit in person, she was fooled by her own actions.

Noah then realized that while he was afraid of something, there were others who were afraid of the same thing as him.

From that moment on, Noah knew he couldn't back down anymore. If he did, those people would only escalate their actions and drive him crazy.

From then on, Noah adopted an attitude of not causing trouble but not being afraid of trouble. And let me tell you, it was really satisfying to leave others speechless with his sharp retorts.

Kyle understood Noah's changes during this period and changed the subject to other questions: "Patriarch, three families have encountered misfortunes in the past two days. Who do you think is behind it all?"

"Who else could it be?" Noah smiled. "It can only be my uncle."

At this point, Noah's smile deepened. "He lived more than twenty years longer than me and was involved in some of Davis's affairs earlier than me. When he was vying with me for the position of family head, I noticed that he had many capable people under him. I just didn't expect that he still had so many people now, so many that they could cause trouble everywhere."

When a traitor emerged from the Davis family hounds, Noah's first choice was Ryan. Even if a Davis family hound was a traitor, he was still a member of the Davis family and would never betray the family for a pittance from outsiders.

The only person who could make the hounds betray them was the one they considered to be the true head of the Davis family.

Even now, Ryan still has the potential to become the head of the Davis family. The loyal hound works for Ryan and can convince himself that he is working for the family head, which is not betrayal.

Of course, the hound's betrayal also suggests that Noah did not have complete control over everything in the Davis family.

“Master, since you know this is what Mr. Ryan did, why don’t you tell them? We can use them to get rid of Mr. Ryan completely,” Kyle said.

Noah tilted his head slightly, turned to look at Kyle, and asked, "Kyle, when you ask this question, are you genuinely unsure or just pretending not to know?"

Kyle paused, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes. "Patriarch, I don't understand."

“The other three families aren’t stupid. They’re also suspicious. Before we had any evidence, I told them that my uncle was behind what happened to their families recently, and that they should go and kill him. What did they think? ‘You’re not trying to use us to help you get rid of trouble, are you?’ ‘Do you think we’re stupid and easy to fool? Could it be that you were the one who did it all from beginning to end?’”

Noah mimicked their accent, then looked at Kyle seriously, “Those guys are suspicious. Even if there’s evidence in front of them, they’ll doubt whether it’s real or fake. If I tell them who the mastermind is, they’ll still think my uncle and I are still fighting each other. So it’s better to do nothing and let my uncle and I fight first, while they reap the benefits.”

"Therefore, we don't have to be smart all the time. Occasionally, we can act like fools and let them investigate on their own. Once they find out who the real mastermind is, all the old and new grudges will come to mind in an instant, and they will settle accounts all at once. Don't give the enemy time to think and prepare. Only a sudden attack can make them abandon their thoughts and emotions."

Kyle suddenly understood, and he looked at Noah in surprise, "Patriarch, you've become so smart!"

Noah rolled his eyes at him: "What do you mean I've become smarter now? I've always been this smart!"

“I’ve known you for so many years, and I never realized you were this smart,” Kyle said.

Noah sighed, “Before, I was all alone and had no one to rely on, so I just thought I could get by. But now… I have more people to support, so I have to think more carefully before I do anything. Otherwise, if I make one wrong move, I’ll drag them down with me.”

Before, raising a little girl was too easy; Noah thought it was simple enough, anyone could raise her to survive. But after Qi Yuan came along…

Qi Yuan is a person with a strong sense of self-respect and his own ideas. He has his own desire for freedom and is not like Petty, who would obediently stay at home without complaint if asked to do so.

He worried that Qi Yuan would be in danger if he left the protection of the Davis family, but he was unwilling to restrict Qi Yuan's freedom. So all he could think of was turning Juecheng into a safe city with less conflict.

When you have something you want to do, you'll naturally be much more cautious and hardworking than before.

Now, Noah only hopes that the three families can get rid of Ryan as he wishes. Of course, it doesn't matter if they can't, because he has already found a reason to kill Ryan.

The reason for keeping Ryan alive was simply to keep the three families fighting until they were both severely weakened before he would intervene.

Even before the porridge hotpot restaurant opened, many customers were already sitting in front of the door, waiting for it to open.

Since this restaurant opened, people who used to just have a simple breakfast now choose to come here for breakfast.

The reason is that the restaurant recently started offering breakfast dishes.

Although currently only dumplings and beef noodle soup are offered, and the menu is limited, the affordable prices and delicious food make it a popular choice for many people to spend some money on breakfast.

The restaurant originally opened at 10 a.m., but after starting to offer breakfast, it opened an hour and a half earlier.

There are still ten minutes before the doors open, and the people in line are already getting impatient.

Just then, a restaurant employee carrying several small cardboard boxes suddenly emerged from the alley behind the kitchen. He walked to the shop next door and handed the small cardboard boxes to the shop owner.

The shop owner smiled as he accepted the small cardboard box from the employee, and when the employee left, he also gave him a bag of products from the shop.

The employee went out carrying things and quickly returned carrying things. After the employee had gone far away, the shop owners took the things that had just been delivered, opened them, and found a snow-white dough inside.

The dough was still warm. The shop owner took a bite with a puzzled look. The dough was snow-white and fluffy. One bite and the aroma of meat filled the air. It was delicious.

The restaurant gave the shop owners four meat buns in total. After tasting the delicious buns, the shop owners ate two in the blink of an eye. Although they wanted to eat the remaining two, they thought about it and left them for their families.
