Chapter 1590: Chapter 918: The Worries of the Other Two Elders_1 Chapter 1590: Chapter 918: The Worries of the Other Two Elders_1 Looking at Leo Ray’s calm face, the trouble on Elder Keane’s face clearly lessened.

At this dire moment, if it were anyone else who remained so nonchalant, the chief elder of the Sanders family would have scoffed.

But standing before him was none other than Mr. Lane, who had twice defeated the Fallen Nobles Allied Army and helped Princess Ariel seize half of Coldflame’s territory.

How could he doubt a word uttered by such an influential figure?

“I won’t hide it from you, Mr. Lane, this is the situation.”

Old Keane took a deep breath and spoke solemnly, “Although it is theoretically possible to help Linda ascend to the position of family head, there are two crucial issues.”

“First, it’s the number of supporters. As Mr. Lane may know, the Sanders family’s Elders Council is made up of 11 elders, and to execute a resolution to replace the family head, at least six elders must support it.”

At this point, Old Keane looked at the other three elders beside him and shook his head helplessly, “As you can see, Mr. Lane, there are only four of us here, and we still lack two crucial votes for approval.”

After Old Keane’s words, the other three elders also shook their heads and sighed, their wrinkled old faces filled with helplessness.

It was precisely because they were few and weak that Harrison, in recent years, had implemented several decisions to suppress them, gradually eroding their power.

Yet, they could only watch all of this happen, utterly powerless.

“Elder Keane need not worry. I’ve heard about the other two neutral elders, and I have a way to make them join our side.”

Leo Ray waved his hand casually and smiled, “Tell me about the second issue.”

“As expected of Mr. Lane, it seems you already have the matter of the votes well in hand.”

Old Keane stroked his grizzled beard, his expression becoming serious again, “The second issue is about the position of the family head itself.”

“Even if we have the six votes, we would still need to find a suitable reason to lure Harrison back to Lionheart City, then convene a family meeting at the opportune moment to publicly remove him from the family throne.”

Old Keane’s solemnity deepened, and he continued, “Otherwise, if Harrison is not in Lionheart City, even if we pull him down from the throne, he might still stubbornly muster his troops to continue threatening Mr. Lane and the Princess.”

“You have a point, and that’s precisely my concern. Although we have gained the full support of the collateral branches, Harrison has built up a strong foundation in the Sanders family over the years.”

Leo Ray furrowed his brow and nodded thoughtfully.

Before this, he had instructed Gael – the leader of the collateral branches – to discreetly gain the support of all collateral members behind the scenes.

However, the power of these collateral branches made up at most 10% of the entire Sanders family, obviously not enough to play a decisive role.

Therefore, just as Old Keane had said, after obtaining the support of the two neutral elders, they need to find a way to lure Harrison back to Lionheart City to ensure everything goes smoothly.

With this in mind, Leo Ray asked, “Elder Keane, do you have any good ideas regarding this matter?”

“To answer you, Mr. Lane, Harrison is cunning, and if he detects any hint of our plan, all our efforts will be wasted. So, we must proceed cautiously and think things through.”

Old Keane exchanged a glance with the other three elders, saw the mix of bafflement and caution in each other’s old eyes, and responded, “At the moment, we have no good ideas.”

“To tell the truth, I do have an idea. Since we’ve already used a tactic that forced us into a desperate situation, why not use another that mixes reality with illusion?”

Looking at the puzzled faces of the several elders, Leo Ray smiled faintly and revealed his idea.

After Leo Ray finished describing his plan, the old faces of Keane and the other elders expressed sudden enlightenment, while they exclaimed unanimously, “As expected of Mr. Lane, his ideas are brilliant, and we wholeheartedly agree!”

“In that case, let’s not delay. Apart from the Eyes of Illusion, I will leave several powerful individuals to ensure everyone’s safety here in case of emergencies.”

Leo Ray’s gaze moved to the numerous guards below the castle who still stood in place, and he raised an eyebrow, “Elder Keane, come with me. It’s time for us to meet the other two neutral elders.”

As soon as Leo Ray finished speaking, accompanied by the gentle touch of Jasper Richardson’s fingertip, the group vanished in front of the other three elders.

…

“The entire castle has been leveled? I didn’t expect Old Keane and those other three old fellows to be taken out by Harrison like this.”

In an elegant, luxurious room, an old man with a ruddy complexion put down his tea cup, sighed lightly, and said to another bald elder, “It’s a pity their personalities were too rigid, always insisting on opposing Harrison throughout the years.”

“You can’t really blame them. After all, Harrison has done many things that go against the Sanders family’s principles.”

The bald elder held his tea cup, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, “But who would have thought that Harrison would resort to such a ruthless move?”
