What relationship did Austin have with the Queen?
It was clear they had been intimate, and that connection never seed to break.
As capable as Rupert was, he couldn’t influence the Queen by whispering advice to her during their private monts as Austin could.
He would bet that if Winston Cueter beca the Pri Minister of Windsor next year, it would definitely be due to Austin’s secret intervention.
Damn it, that playboy who only knew how to deceive won!
Upon Rupert’s words, Barny chid in, “Exactly, Austin is too prideful.
He looks down on us, his colleagues.
His wife is the High Priestess of the Naturalism Church, his son’s lover is the High Priestess of the Moonlight Church, and we — what’s our standing?
We’re not worthy to dine at the sa table as him.”
“You’re absolutely right!” Filster nodded repeatedly.
“The last accurate dossier from MI6 guaranteed that Austin’s illegitimate child was not his real son, pah, look at how similar the father and son look and the won they’re with, it’s obvious they are blood-related.” Barny grew more impassioned as he spoke and finally slamd the table hard.
The Boswell Family had its foundation in comrce, with a focus on forestry and mining, and it had always coveted the arms industry, engaging in several business conflicts with the Randao Family and not getting along with them at all.
Setting aside the business competition and just considering their heirs,
Barny’s son, Owen, was a talent, a young man with promising skills in business, which pleased Barny imnsely.
Comparing objects is not as daunting as comparing people.
Next to Austin’s son, Wayne, Owen was no match in any aspect, just a no-good rake squandering his ti on secretaries and indulging in vice.
Even with playing with secretaries, Owen couldn’t match Wayne!
As for won, don’t even ntion it; look at the won Wayne had — the High Priestess by day, his own sister by night, he was the undisputed scoundrel on the road of degeneracy.
Of course, Austin still outdid him in that regard, for although he didn’t have a sister, he had the Queen.
“You’re absolutely right!” Filster nodded repeatedly.
As the discussion turned to Austin, voices in the conference hall suddenly grew louder.
Except for the jokester Filster and the influence-waning Woodson Family, the remaining four families sharply criticized Austin, showing deep loathing for him.
For a while, because of a common enemy, friendships seed to grow closer.
Including the host Bedford, who was actually very dissatisfied with Austin, wholeheartedly agreeing with Barny’s assessnt that Austin was too prideful.
With two High Priests and a Queen in his family, having magic and power, he beca arrogant and betrayed the Tulip Family; he was a traitor.
“Actually, it can’t be said like that.
Austin, although not present, doesn’t necessarily an he is wholeheartedly loyal to the Queen,” Borne, who had been silent, slowly began.
The room had only two Legendary Mages, and when Borne spoke, everyone respectfully fell silent, eager to hear his valuable opinion.
The Randao Family isn’t a monolithic block; its heir, Wayne, is highly ambitious, dissatisfied with Austin’s prolonged oppression and has been subtly active for a long ti, unable to speak out because of Austin’s suppression,” said Borne with an air of knowing a secret.
Everyone was curious, waiting for him to continue.
No one objected to Borne’s words; if they were in his shoes, enjoying the arms of a High Priestess at ho, their family would also have two conflicting voices.
“I have conducted a secret investigation, the intelligence is reliable; Austin is loyal to the Queen, but his son Wayne is not, and he could be won over.”
Borne’s intelligence ca from Planck, who hinted at so points, and with Borne’s own deductions, the story was very rich: “See?
Austin is taking sides.
He pretends to be obedient to the Queen, but secretly he lets his son pass on the opposite ssage to the external world.
He is only loyal to the Randao Family.”
Don’t put all eggs in one basket; this principle is universal.
Especially in tis of war during troubled eras, established families with deep roots will invest in all directions, ensuring that no matter who ultimately wins, these old families won’t lose.
“You’re absolutely right!” Filster nodded repeatedly.
Stop agreeing already!

Ignoring Filster, everyone else began to exchange opinions.
“Austin sure is calculating, letting us be the ones to rush to the front while he profits from both sides.”
“I despise fence-sitters the most, those who appear to win-win, but in truth, they offend both sides and often end in a bad situation.”
“It’s not proper to say it like this; the Randao Family has two High Priests, if we can win them over it’s best, but even if not, them not helping either side is also okay.”
After a round of discussions, everyone agreed on a preliminary strategy.
They did not like Austin, but if they could win him over, everyone could still be friends, and past grudges could be laughed off.
“You’re absolutely right!” Filster nodded repeatedly.
“Borne, is your intelligence reliable?”
“Of course, it’s more reliable than MI6.”
“Good, now let’s talk about the other Tulip Families…”
Removing the seven families present, the fence-sitting Randao Family, and the benched Patino Family, only five were left, naly the Collins Family, Fleming Family, Mueller Family, Turner Family, and the Qute Family.
Of these, Collins, Mueller, and Turner exclusively focused on the magic field.
The Collins Family had the Deputy Minister Yvette, the Mueller Family was led by the Captain of the Holy Light Knights, Herman, and Turner, while dwindling in mbers and only having the insignificant Frank, was highly regarded by the Queen and was Windsor’s best Hell Study Expert.
These three families were almost impossible to recruit.
