Previously, he wanted to fight to the death with the Butterfly Family. It was just a threat to make Wang Songshan change his mind! Moreover, this trick did work. Wang Songshan began to hesitate after hearing his words! But before Wang Songshan hesitated to speak, he was interrupted by the person named Yang Ming!
This is so infuriating. This little bastard, why didn't he speak earlier? Why did he have to speak at the most critical moment and ruin my entire plan all of a sudden!
In fact, Thomas really didn't dare to sacrifice the entire Lancer Family for Goode! Although it was true that Goode was his biological grandson, a grandson was still a grandson, not a grandson. He was an outsider and a member of the Douglas Family, not the Lancer Family!
Even if Thomas wanted to stand up for Goode, he believed that the elders of the Lancer Family would not agree. After all, this was not Thomas's own interest, but the interest of the entire family!
Going against the Butterfly Family would not benefit the entire Lancer Family! The strength of both sides was equal. Although his family had a trump card that could compete with the assassins of the Butterfly Family, who could guarantee that the Butterfly Family did not have a hidden trump card?
Once the Butterfly Family also had a hidden trump card, it meant that the Butterfly Family's strength was a little better than the Lancer Family's. In this way, he dared not act rashly. If they really fought, the Lancer Family might be the unlucky one in the end!
In fact, when one reached the status of the Butterfly Family and the Lancer Family, one would generally not fight to the death with the opponent without absolute strength. This was because it would not promote the family's interests at all. Instead, the entire family would be involved. No one would be so stupid to make such a decision.
Thomas wanted to bet on whether Wang Songshan would be afraid before, but the result was ruined. How could this not make Thomas depressed? However, now that Wang Songshan was very determined, how should he deal with it?
Give up on Goode? Thomas definitely did not want to do this. This was his most beloved grandson! Not only could he not help him take revenge, but he would also lose his life. How could he, as a grandfather, endure this?
However, if they didn't give up on Goode, the Lancer Family would definitely decline and wither. Even if they found a new industry, it would take a long time to adapt, let alone become strong and powerful! In that case, the Lancer Family was bound to be reduced to a second-rate family or even a third-rate family.
But in any case, this was a big matter. Although Thomas was the family master of the Lancer Family, he still had to discuss such a big matter with the family.
In the Lancer Family's conference room, Thomas sat at the head of the table with a gloomy face. The other core members of the family, including the two elders of his generation, and several outstanding second-generation children, were also present.
The news that the Buffon Family had canceled the Lancer Family's firearms supplier qualification had been spread by the servant who answered the phone. Whether it was true or not, everyone present knew the news.
The management of the Lancer Family was obviously not very strict, and the confidentiality of the servants was also very poor. Therefore, the content of this call was quickly known by these people in the family.
"I've called all of you here for an emergency meeting because I have something important to discuss with all of you." Thomas's expression was very bad. This matter would affect the fate of the Lancer Family in the big picture. From the perspective of the family, it would be fine if he gave up on Goode. If he protected Goode, even if the second-generation children of the family didn't say anything, the elders of his generation would definitely question him … At that time, he was afraid that his position as the family master would not be stable.
Could it be that what he heard before was true? Everyone's face showed a dignified expression. Previously, everyone didn't quite believe it when they heard it. However, at this time, Thomas solemnly called everyone for a meeting. Especially after seeing Thomas's expression, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts!
Seeing the expressions of everyone present, Thomas knew that the news had come, "I believe that everyone has also heard some rumors. The Buffon Family has canceled our Lancer Family's firearms supplier qualification!"
"Is it because of the Butterfly Family?" An old man with triangular eyes sitting on Thomas's right said gloomily. He was Thomas's elder brother, Slade, and also the eldest son of Thomas's father. Logically speaking, he should be the first successor of the Lancer Family. However, because he was not a legitimate son, but a concubine's son! His mother was not the legal wife of Thomas's father, but a personal maid in the family. This identity was naturally not presentable, and Slade was destined not to inherit the family's heavy responsibility.
However, Slade had always been unhappy with his younger brother. They were all sons of the same father. Even if his mother was not the legal wife, he was at least the eldest son. Why should Thomas inherit the family master's position?
When Thomas's father was alive, Slade didn't dare to stand out too much. He only secretly made things difficult for Thomas. However, after his father passed away, Slade blatantly disagreed with Thomas.
This time, with such a good opportunity, Slade naturally didn't forget to go against Thomas! Anyway, Slade had no hope of winning the family master's position now. He attacked Thomas again and again just to make him give up the position! Give it to his son, Kevithan!
His son, Kevithan, was the most outstanding among the second generation children. He was originally the most promising candidate for the family master's position! Slade was also very optimistic about his son.
Originally, it was already a certainty that Kevithan would be the next family master's heir. This was because Thomas's son was simply useless. He was obviously a playboy. He mingled with some small celebrities all day long. He was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. He didn't care about the family's affairs. It was impossible for him to be a candidate for the family master's position!
Thomas was also very disappointed with his son. However, Slade was very proud. He thought that although he didn't become the family master, his son was likely to become the next family master. Whenever he thought of this, Slade was very gratified.
However, this situation continued until Thomas's grandson, Wich, suddenly emerged and became the leader of the third generation of the family. He had already faintly surpassed Kevithan's limelight in the past!
This made Slade suddenly feel a sense of crisis! Not because of anything else, but because Thomas was really too good at living! And his son, Kevithan, was too old!
He was more than ten years older than Thomas, and Kevithan was his first son when he was twenty years old. In other words, Thomas was only five or six years older than Kevithan! That was all!
He originally thought that after Thomas died, Kevithan would take over, but now it seemed that Thomas's body was very strong. It was still unknown who would die in front of him. If he had this idea, he was afraid that Kevithan would be disappointed.
Therefore, in order to let Kevithan succeed, Slade only had one way. That was to continuously attack Thomas and force Thomas to give up the position under circumstances where he had no choice. Only in this way could Kevithan succeed. Otherwise, once Kevithan's body couldn't take it anymore, Thomas would definitely pass the family master's position to Wich directly.
That would really be a hopeless situation. Therefore, Slade keenly seized this opportunity. Although he had the opportunity to attack Thomas in the past, he couldn't shake Thomas's foundation …
