Chapter 343: "Reinforcement"
Finley bit his lips until fresh blood trickled out. His flesh was torn a bit, but the boy didn't even feel the pain on his lips.
He gripped his dad's arm tightly and hurriedly spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Dad, I beg you. Send the Walter Family main troops to the Sloan Family. We have to help them! Hurry!"
Finley was willing to start a full-scale war between Walter and the Aretha Family.
The young man wasn't rash or an idiot, and he had experienced many wars in his past life, but when he knew about the Sloan Family getting attacked, his brain stopped working.
All he knew was to send help to kill all the Aretha bastards!
Finley looked at his dad with a begging look, thinking that his dad would abide with his plea. However, Evan shook his head.
Unlike his son who had bloodshot eyes, the middle-aged man's eyes remained calm and steady.
He looked at Finley with a deep gaze and softly spoke.
"No, Fin. If you send our troops to fight the Aretha Family, it will lead to many consequences…"
If the Walter Family sent their main troops now, the Aretha Family would take this as the Walter Family waging war on them.
They wouldn't stay still. They would also send even more troops.
Once the Walter Family attacked, the Billios Family would follow suit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe guilds would also join the battle, but those on the Aretha Family's sides would also help the Aretha Family.
The 7 great families and the 7 sacred families might be involved as well.
The battlefield would expand not only at the Sloan Family but also at other places as well.
A war between two giants in a mafia society would implicate so many forces and it might even involve the whole Godlif country.
Wouldn't that plunge the country into utter chaos?
Looking at the bigger picture, the armies that the Aretha Family sent were actually not that much, but the Sloan Family was too weak to hold them back.
That's what caused this emergency.
There were many weak families just like the Sloan Family across the country, and they were swallowed one by one...by the bigger mafia families.
Each minute, one small mafia family got wiped out of the map. It was something usual. For others, the Sloan Family disappearance wouldn't cause too much disturbance.
It would only create a small ripple and then vanish forever.
To make a big deal out of this was something foolish, even for the Walter Family.
Why? Because the one attacking the Sloan Family was the Aretha Family, a family that could hold their ground even against the Walter Family.
Well, they couldn't face off the Billios Family for sure, but the Billios Family wasn't a mafia family.
There's an unspoken rule for non-mafia families to never directly clash with the mafia families, no matter how strong they were, because the mafia union would never let them off.
It's all about balance and capitalism.
The Billios Family could boycott the Aretha Family but should never send troops to annihilate the Aretha Family…
Because they're businessmen, and they shall remain neutral.
Finley listened to his dad's explanation and his heart felt even more heavy.
In the end, this happens because the Sloan Family isn't seen as worthy enough to get help from other strong families, right?
It's because they're too weak that anyone can trample them, right?
Finley's eyes went teary. He watched the back of the tiny baby running toward the Billios Casino's exit with all of her might.
That's the back of someone who had to bear all this burden…
Without external support and privileges that other mafia family heirs received.
Finley's heart throbbed in pain. He clutched his chest as he looked at his dad with tears threatening to roll out.
"S-so, what can we do? I-I want to help her. Can I go with Ain and use Chronos' power to help? I-it's fine if I go alone, right?"
Finley could sacrifice anything as long as he could protect those dear to him.
Ainsley was already someone close to him, someone precious…
There's no way he could watch her family die just like that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnfortunately, Evan shook his head.
"...no. You're the heir of the Walter Family. You represent our family. Once you go, it will be seen as the Walter Family trying to oppose the Aretha Family head-on."
"I can disguise myself! I won't get caught!" Finley insisted. He's about to speak once more when his dad cuts him off.
"Even if you disguise yourself, the moment you use Chronos' power, others will know that you're the heir of the Walter Family."
Evan swiftly pulled Finley into his embrace and carried the boy even when he's already heavy enough to be carried like that.
"Listen, Fin. In this situation, you have to stay calm. Even if you can't assist Ain directly, you can always help her in the shadows!"
Evan hugged his son and pushed the boy's weary face to his broad shoulder. He patted Fin's back and murmured.
"We will send mercenaries to help the Sloan Family. The mercenaries shall stay not too far from the battlefield, but they will make sure the Sloan Family holds their ground."
Evan had also commanded his men to send support to the Sloan Family, such as sending healers, potions, etc.
They won't be sending troops, but they can hire mercenaries and send life-saving items.
They could also make sure that no other smaller families tried to take advantage of the situation.
"We can make sure the Sloan Family defends their main territory until the Aretha Family gives up!"
The goal was to chase away the Aretha Family and make sure the Sloan Family survived….
Could they do it?
