Chapter 1574
Edmund's eyes glimmered with interest when he heard this. Of course, he wanted to trample on the Ten Greatest
Families of Stonedale. After all, they were all there when his father died. In other words, if the Damron Family
was the mastermind, then the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale would be the ones who carried out the
execution.
More to the point, these families had done what they could to humiliate Edmund after his father's passing.
Currently, he wanted nothing more than to make them pay in blood.
However, bloodlust was something he could not afford right now.
Dejected, he turned to look at Matthew and asked hesitantly, "What exactly do you mean by that, Mr. Matthew
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLarson?"
Matthew smiled and said, "You've been in Stonedale for long enough, and your father was head of the Albright
Family for a really long time. You should know better than anyone else about the conflicts and ties that exist
within the Ten Greatest Families here. Now, all we have to do is to drive a wedge between them. If you could
convince sof them to side with you, then they'll automatically go against the others. Get what I'm saying
now?"
Edmund considered this for a moment, and as he finally registered what Matthew wanted him to do, his eyes
widened in enlightenment. "I think | do!" He clenched his fists and said grimly, "You wantto turn them
against one another, and once they start butting heads, | can pick them off one by one and finally trample on all
of them. Right?"
Matthew smiled and nodded. "Pretty much, but whether or not the plan will work depends on the current
relationship between the Ten Greatest Families." Edmund took a deep breath and said, "You know, Mr. Matthew
Larson, the Ten Greatest Families may look close-knit, but in reality, sof them are closer than others. This is
especially true when it comes to profit-sharing in Neverland Pharmaceuticals, and if there are any disputes, it
would be because of this. My father toldthere are two ledgers in Neverland Pharmaceuticals. One is made
for the Huntingtons, the Rathbones, and the Albright Family, which is known as the secret accounts. The other is
made for the other families, which is known as the main accounts. In truth, the main accounts only show the
numbers after half the profit has already been divided. "The Albright Family, the Huntingtons, and the Rathbones
are known as the three strongest families out of the Ten Greatest Families. It's standard practice that half the
profit for Neverland Pharmaceuticals will first be divided amongst the big three, and when the rest of it is
reported in the main accounts, it will be divided again among the ten. At this point, the big three will always end
up getting more than the other seven!"
A gleam flashed in Matthew's eyes when he heard this. He hadn't expected to get information like this! If the
word on Neverland Pharmaceuticals’ secret and main accounts broke out, then it would be the perfect tool to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdrive a wedge between the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. The Albright Family, the Huntingtons, and the
Rathbones would becenemies to the other families! "Do you have proof of that statement?" he asked
Edmund curiously.
Edmund shook his head. "You'd be overestimating me. My father said there's only one ledger for the secret
accounts, and Macon, the head of the Rathbone Family, has it. Besides, he'll only take it out when the profit-
sharing season comes around. On normal days, he keeps the ledger hidden somewhere not even my father
knew!"
Matthew narrowed his eyes. "Does that mean we'll have to crack down on Macon if we want to find the book?"
Upon seeing the expression on Matthew's face, Edmund panicked and quickly said, "Mr. Matthew Larson, you
can't do that. The Rathbones are the strongest family in Stonedale, and they have a strong background in
combat. Their family is chock-full of trained martial artists. Macon, in particular, is like a legend in Stonedale.
Scall him grandmaster, and not even Arnold from Woodside is a match for him! It would be too dangerous
for you to confront him."
