I Become Baby Mafia Boss

Ainsley immediately furrowed her eyebrows at Grandpa Yofan's words. What did he say? Someone from the Aretha Family came?

The Aretha Family had just sent troops to participate in raiding Pandora Island!

Ainsley suppressed the urge to teleport to her mansion and slap whoever came to their family's mansion.

She took a deep breath and spoke, "Who came? What's their business?"

Grandpa Yofan fell silent for a few seconds before replying, "The guest...is the heir of the Aretha Family, first young master Raphael."

! Raphael?

Ainsley remembered some things related to the Aretha Family's sudden attack on their family back then.

For the family to respond to Blair's wildfulness and suddenly attack their family like that...Raphael should be involved, right?

Ainsley also vaguely remembered the mysterious person who tried to steal her rare potions...after some investigations, she found a lead.

The heir of the Aretha Family surprisingly had a similar ability recorded in the mafia council's database.

Ainsley didn't know about the illusion ability, but the darkness manipulation ability matched that mysterious intruder's ability.

She suddenly suspected Raphael to be the one behind the mysterious intruder's identity.

She couldn't prove her guess, but from that moment, Ainsley put her guard against Raphael.

She had a feeling that the true boss of the Aretha Family wasn't Michael, Blair's adoptive father, but Raphael instead.

Hearing that Raphael suddenly came to her mansion right after the Aretha Family troops joined the alliance to rob Pandora Island, Ainsley felt something was fishy here.

"What is he doing at my mansion? Why did he go there? To meet me? Shouldn't he know that I'm not at the mansion?"

Grandpa Yofan himself was also feeling doubtful about this matter. Raphael came right a day after the family's main troops returned from conquering the Naran Family.

Right now, they're busy with the post-war procedures. Why would Raphael come at such a time? He didn't think that the Sloan Family would be too busy to receive him?

Grandpa Yofan swallowed his doubts and faithfully recounted what Raphael came for.

"He said that he came to negotiate with you about his sacred beast, Vallan…"

Grandpa Yofan was silent before speaking in a low tone of voice mixed with a hint of bewilderment.

"He said that if you return Vallan to him, he will help you with Pandora Island's matter. I don't know why he said that. The Aretha Family has nothing to do with Pandora Island, right?"

When Grandpa Yofan said that, Ainsley already clenched her fists and almost broke the phone.

That Raphael– he is precisely waiting for this moment to retrieve Vallan! No wonder he didn't make a move for more than four months.

He's waiting for a suitable time to retrieve Vallan without giving out compensation to Ainsley!

As for what Raphael meant with helping her solve the Pandora Island case…

Raphael didn't mean to say that his measly 200-ish troops sent to the alliance could make any difference in this war.

But he could be a traitor in the alliance and helped Ainsley to win the war faster and easier. He wasn't afraid of getting targeted by the powerhouse inside the alliance.

He could toss all the responsibilities to the Sloan Family, saying that the Sloan Family threatened him to be a traitor using Vallan as the hostage.

That way, the Aretha Family unknowingly forced themselves to be in Ainsley's camp, even if Ainsley didn't want to.

Thus, no matter what actually happened, people will think that the Aretha Family already made amends with the Sloan Family, and the two are working together now.

At least because of Vallan.

The Aretha Family could benefit a lot from this.

They could infiltrate themselves into Ainsley's inner circle, could force Ainsley to make amends with them, and also silently covet the Inheritance Stone.

Ainsley was obviously the one having the upper hand thanks to Vallan, but with this one move alone, she was forced to follow the Aretha Family's little tricks.

Plus, if she refused this offer, Aretha could still betray the alliance and pretend to be on the Téssera Alliance's side.

Even if none of the alliance members would acknowledge the Aretha Family, that family only wanted to flame some gossip and rumours.

After all, the Sloan Family was a rising family now, and many powerhouses wanted to be on their good side, especially after the government leaked the thing with the Inheritance Stone's mine.

Right now, the whole country and even other countries who got news of it were silently watching Pandora Island war, wanting to leech to whoever won the war in the end.

The Aretha Family believed that the Sloan Family would win. After all, Ainsley had that mysterious ability that almost made them fall from grace.

This kind of war should be easy for her.

But the Aretha Family was already on the Sloan Family's bad side because of the sudden attack almost a year ago, causing the two sides never to reconcile.

This is Raphael's last effort to make amends with the Sloan Family and befriend the Sloan Family, even if he had to use underhanded tactics and be shameless.

He didn't care whether Ainsley hated him or not. Even if Ainsley hated the Aretha Family, if both sides could benefit from their cooperation, would Ainsley refuse?

Even if Ainsley refused, would the higher-ups in the Sloan Family follow her personal feud?

It's easy to forgive others in the mafia world where one wouldn't know who is a true friend and who isn't.

The mafia world was always grey and black, rarely white. For the sake of benefit, even enemies could work together for a period of time.

Ainsley understood all Raphael's silent intention, but she didn't want to follow the path he opened for her!
