Damian looked over at Angela and winked at her, while Angela turned away from him and looked at Adam.
Martha hated Anglea mostly because her fiance, who was also the one that was most likely to become the next family head, still wanted to be with Anglea despite being engaged to her. With Angela's beauty and talent, why wouldn't he want her.
She would increase the likelihood of him having talented children and she was better looking than Martha, which was why Damian still wanted Angela despite being engaged.
Angela ignored him and was more focused on finding a solution to the Maxwell Family's situation.
"Do you have any ideas on how to deal with the Lin Family?" asked Angela.
Adam was initially surprised by her question, but since he came to assist her as an advisor and her friend, it was to be expected. He was glad that she didn't say his name and from everything that he knew about the current state of cultivation in New York, he had already thought about what he felt like was the best course of action.
The conference room fell silent after hearing Angela's question to her guard that seemed ordinary, which was easily heard by them with the sharp senses that they had as cultivators.
It was clear that Angela had become the centre of attention and so had Adam, but with Wayde beside him, Adam still felt relatively safe and nodded his head.
"Then tell us your idea. You aren't part of our family, but since you are Angela's companion, I will permit you to speak your mind" allowed the family head.
"I think that Damian's idea is ridiculous and stupid. It is suicidal and will destroy the family if you decide to follow that route. Although I am currently only worried about Angela's safety, as she is the only one that I am allied with, I would still be happy to tell you my opinion on the matter. The Lin Family is united, powerful and rapidly growing. They have a strong community and completely control their territory, while the Maxwell Family consistently has issues within the family and doesn't have a tight hold over their territory" stated Adam.
Everybody was shocked by his words especially the family head, who would never expect a mid-level Novice cultivator to talk so directly and harshly to him and his family.
Angela was both shocked, touched and worried by Adam's words and if his idea wasn't one that they could use, she knew he would be punished and most likely killed for his words.
Damian wanted to cut off Adam's head and was furious by his words that indirectly called him stupid, but he didn't act as the family head was yet to say anything and he waited to see what Adam would say next.
"My idea is simple. The Maxwell Family is too arrogant, and although is extremely rich, to most cultivators, money isn't something that they need. What the Maxwell Family needs are strong allies and more cultivation resources, which will boost your cultivation speeds and combat power. Both of these things are solved if the Maxwell Family can ally themselves with the Epstein Family that is the wealthiest and most developed family in terms of cultivation resources and have researched into most things to do with cultivation" informed them Adam.
His idea was great and if it succeeded would not only solve their problem, but would also allow them to expand their territory and take over the other cultivation families with the help of the Epstein Family, but the issue with that was that it was easier said than done.
"Your idea is foolish. The Epstein Family has never gotten involved in any conflict or made any exclusive deals with any of the other large cultivation families in New York. They keep to themselves and would never ally with us, when they could ally with any other cultivation family if they wanted to" refuted Damian.
"You have spoken arrogantly and unless you can back up the usefulness of your idea, I cannot hold back the wrath of those that you have offended. The Epstein Family are the biggest producer of weapons, runes and pills. They trade equally with all the large cultivation families and have kept a good, but distant relationship with us all. What makes you think that they would ally with our declining family" said the family head.
"In the state that the Maxwell Family is in now, they wouldn't even look twice at you. However, everybody has a price and something that they want, all you need to do is negotiate and show your worth to them, then they would have no reason to decline your exclusive alliance. The Epstein Family are said to have a young family head that is reasonable, just and kind, which would make them somebody that could be negotiated with" replied Adam, who was confident in the validity of his idea.
Angela recognised what he said as what he had done to her and although he seemed like he didn't have much use to her, he somehow managed to make her believe that he was worth becoming friends with.
Because of that, she still had faith in Adam and was hoping that he would persuade her family to follow his plan that seemed much more reasonable, otherwise, she wasn't sure that she would be able to save him from the rest of the family.
"Boy, you are too arrogant. Although the head of the Epstein Family is said to be all of those things, nobody outside of their family has met them in person and they do not care for outsiders. Their wealth is too enormous to fight against and with their skill and resources, their headquarters would be extremely fortified and that is why none of the families have dared to make an enemy of them" refuted the family head.
Angela knew that it was her fault that Adam was being hounded by the rest of her family, but her hands were tied and she could only hope that Adam could deal with it himself.
