"Not right now. Do you have any ideas?" Connor was a little surprised by Arveloya's inquiry. Arveloya was a qualified subordinate. He spoke less and did more. He rarely asked questions. Since he asked this time, it meant that he had some thoughts. Connor gave an answer and asked in return, "What do you think?"
"Young Master Connor, I think it's the best time for you to return to the family and become Earl Ferguson. Butler Martinez won the Patriarch's Council, and Jack Ferguson lost his power. Both Domenech and Bernardo can't fight back at all!"
"Young Master Connor, as long as you return to the family at this time, with the support of Butler Martinez, you will be able to inherit the position of the head of the family and become the new Earl Ferguson without any resistance!" Aveloy said all of his thoughts in one breath.
Connor nodded his head slightly when he heard Aveloya's thoughts. He didn't comment on Aveloya's thoughts. Instead, he asked Aveloya, "Aveloya, what do you think of the Ferguson Family's current situation?"
Although he didn't know why Young Master Connor, who could destroy the opposition in the family at any time, would ask him this question, Aveloya still answered honestly, "Our family isn't doing well right now. There's a lot of internal strife, and everyone has their own plans. Some of the shops and land under our name have been privatized by some of the senior members of the family …" Speaking of this, Aveloya couldn't help but blush. After all, not long ago, Aveloya himself was one of those people that Young Master Connor was talking about.
Connor didn't mind Aveloya's embarrassment. He raised his hand and signaled Aveloya to continue. Seeing that, Aveloya also got rid of his embarrassment and continued, "The internal situation isn't good, and the external situation is even worse. Our family's main source of income, the mining business, is currently being blocked by some financial groups in Flosino, and our other industries are also suffering from internal and external problems because of rigid management. If this continues for at least ten years, or at least five years … Our family may be in danger of being destroyed!
At the end of the lecture, Arveloya secretly glanced at Connor. Seeing that Connor's expression didn't change, Arveloya gritted his teeth and told him his real thoughts.
After listening to Arveloya's story, Connor shook his head and said, "Arveloya, you're too optimistic. In my opinion, the Ferguson family is on the verge of collapse. If we don't make up for it, we'll definitely be destroyed in five years!"
After Connor finished speaking, Arveloya, who was familiar with the situation of the Ferguson family, nodded in agreement. He had the same opinion as Connor. As for why he said it would be ten years at most and five years at least, it was only because Connor was the future Earl Ferguson, and he wanted to protect Connor's reputation.
Seeing that Arveloya agreed with his point of view, Connor continued faintly, "In my opinion, the Ferguson family is like a terminally ill patient on the verge of death, quietly waiting for the moment of destruction. To treat such a patient, gentle medicine can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Although it can improve in a short period of time, in reality, the hidden dangers still exist. It's like a time bomb that can explode at any time!"
"If you want to completely cure the patient, the only way is to cure the patient! The only reform is to use strong medicine to change the patient's blood! Only in this way can the patient be reborn! " Start a new life! "At the end of his speech, Connor spoke to Aveloa with a deeper meaning.
After carefully thinking about Connor's analogy, Arveloya understood Connor's meaning. After hesitating for a while, he asked Connor tentatively, "Young Master Connor, I know a few wizards who do things cleanly and neatly. You can find them at any time …"
In response to Arveloya's suggestion, Connor waved his hand and said earnestly, "Arveloya, there's a red line in everything. If you cross it, it'll be very troublesome. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't do it. Whether it's the Religion of the Earth, the Church of the Storm, or the 9th Department, they're not useless … Do you understand what I mean?"
Although Connor didn't say it explicitly, Arveloya wasn't stupid. He immediately understood Connor's meaning and nodded heavily, indicating to Connor that he understood.
After receiving Arveloya's signal, Connor was relieved. After hearing Arveloya's suggestion, Connor was a little worried that Arveloya would act on his own initiative and gather a group of wizards to get rid of those damn vermin in the Ferguson family!
In fact, if he could really do that, Connor wouldn't need Aveiloa's advice at all, and he wouldn't be hiding in the dark waiting for the right opportunity like now. He would have taken action himself and created accidents like losing control of the carriage and choking to death to get rid of them.
In the Kaman Empire, although the supernatural world and the secular world shared the same space, they were two separate worlds that didn't interfere with each other. In the secular world, there was a red line that couldn't be crossed for wizards, and that was that wizards were not allowed to attack the nobles represented by the royal family. Once a wizard crossed this red line, they would face the relentless pursuit of the light wizards represented by the church and the empire's officials!
Of course, there were at least forty to fifty thousand nobles in the Kaman Empire, if not a hundred thousand. With so many of them, the light wizards might not even notice if two insignificant people were killed by wizards. Unfortunately, what Connor wanted was to change the entire Ferguson family. This meant that many people would die. The Ferguson family was one of the few hereditary earl families in Flosinone, and they were protected by the light wizards on a supernatural level. They weren't insignificant people.
In the past, the large dark wizard organization, the Serta Sect, wanted to get the Serta's Heart hidden in the Ferguson family. They could only do it secretly and didn't dare to do it openly, and they didn't dare to hurt the members of the Ferguson family. Now that Connor wanted to change the family, he naturally couldn't allow supernatural forces to interfere. Otherwise, he would be hunted down by the light wizards.
In order to get rid of the vermin in the family, Connor needed a reason, a reason that could be presented to the public. For example, there was a rebellion within the family, and Connor, as the first in line of succession, had to be the head of the family to quell the rebellion!
As long as he had this excuse, even if Connor couldn't mobilize the family's knights, he could legitimately recruit mercenaries from outside the family to get rid of those fat vermin in the family!
