The male supporting character was actually myself.

Remember, nobody drinks too much.

"Bring more weapons," Jiang Chen reminded him, glancing at the newspaper. "Let's see which fools dare to come over, and we'll wipe them out tomorrow!"

Let's also take a look at Anderson's attitude towards our growth and expansion.

If he doesn't object, we're going to go all out.

………………

It was late at night, and the sky was overcast with no moonlight or stars.

If someone were walking on a street shrouded in a light white mist, they could hear the intense gunfire coming from the Sentis River.

Everyone in the Finnan port area knows that another smuggling ship has been robbed while passing through.

"The smuggling ship Anderson sent out was empty?" Dom, who had received the tip, sat up in bed and ran his hand through his shiny black hair anxiously. "What does this mean?"

Are you sure you've identified all our hidden agents?

The subordinate replied, "That's right, I could see it clearly!"

The ship's hold was empty of cargo, only loaded with large stones for ballast. By the time the Owen family arrived, the ship had already been disguised; clearly, they were in charge of security and had no idea what was inside.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Was Anderson's sudden move a test of the Irving family?

Was he worried that the other party might steal from him halfway through?

Dom was silent for a moment and then shook his head and said, "No, his current enemy is not the Owen family."

Anderson is using this opportunity to eliminate influence on the Sentis River!

He wants to completely open up the waterways!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Fire Seed Project

"What do you mean?" the subordinate asked in surprise, "Use the Owen family as pawns to completely open up the Sentis River waterway."

When no gang dared to rob on the river, he…

"Going against the tide, launching a pincer attack on us!" Dom's tone turned grim.

Escorting smuggling vessels is just a cover.

This can be seen from the fact that the ship was camouflaged with stones that could be discarded at any time.

In reality, Anderson wanted to use the cooperation of the Owen family to clear a waterway that could be used to attack him!

At that time, they will be attacked from both land and water.

Anderson has another business deal with the Irving family, leaving him isolated and vulnerable!

"Keep a close eye on his next move, and send reliable people to patrol the Owen family's territory." Dom gave the order and said with a solemn expression, "If the Owen family becomes even stronger, then it would be worthwhile to form an alliance."

Gunfire rang out over the Sentis River for a long time.

As the white fog dissipated and the sky began to lighten, Anderson sat in the drawing room with a broad smile. "Your idea is really good, Joyce."

You're a genius!

"We'll send out disguised smuggling boats as bait. If we do this a few times, the Sentis River will be much calmer!"

Joyce hadn't slept all night, and although her eyes looked slightly tired, she still maintained a smile. "Relying solely on armed forces to wage a tug-of-war with those robbers is only a temporary solution."

You provide the bait, we provide the manpower.

Once the various groups looting on the Sentis River are eliminated, the problem can be solved once and for all.

I will take care of those gangs that secretly steal and harm everyone's interests as soon as possible.

From now on, we'll be in charge of the Sentis River!

"Hahaha, good! Good!" Anderson laughed so hard his fat jiggled. "We'll continue the cleanup operation the night after tomorrow, you brothers have put in a lot of effort, I won't treat you unfairly."

They might dislike certain gangs or have past grudges against them.

Go ahead and do it!

The fake police officers won't help, but they certainly won't hold us back.

Joyce nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your generosity."

Watching the Irving brothers drive away, Anderson frowned slightly as he smoked a cigarette. "You must seize the opportunity and develop quickly. You'll be of great use when the time is right!"

………………

The weather is gradually getting warmer.

Two months passed quickly, and spring returned to Sentis, filling it with warmth.

During this period, with Anderson's tacit approval, the Irving family expanded rapidly and grew into a newly emerging major gang.

Although its territory is smaller than Dom's, which occupies the largest district, its financial resources and influence are far inferior to Anderson's.

However, this does not change the fact that the Owen family has become the third largest gang in Sentis.

They were like an invincible cavalry, advancing relentlessly and crushing small gangs under their hooves. The subjugated residents lined the streets to welcome the Owen family, hoping to enjoy the same protected treatment as their neighbors.

"Hey, if you ask me, those lunatics from the Owen family are really a breath of fresh air." Anderson chuckled as he tossed his newspaper aside while eating breakfast. "Look what they've done since they took over their new territory."

Protection fees not required!

The gangsters are actually doing good deeds instead of collecting protection money! Hahahaha!

"But I must say their tactic of winning people's hearts is very effective," Leibo warned. "You need to be careful!"

Anderson chewed on his food and muttered, "Hmm, it really works. Especially since the people in those neighborhoods have already been ripped off by the local gangs until there's hardly anything left."

Even if the Owen family wanted to seize the territory, they wouldn't be able to squeeze out much money.

Why not do a favor and wait until people have money in a few years? Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

There's no need to worry about those lunatics yet.

They've grown too fast; their strength hasn't been consolidated yet. Otherwise, I would have led them into war with Dom.

"Wait a little longer. Once the Irving family expands into Dom's territory, they'll inevitably start fighting each other!"

Dom sneezed, cursed, blew his nose, and continued looking at the map.

“Dal Pier, that’s right…” Dom pointed at the small pier in a secluded corner, biting his lower lip and frowning in thought for a moment. “I can’t wait any longer. I have to talk to the Owen brothers!”

Go and make the arrangements, but make sure Anderson doesn't find out.

"Yes!" The subordinate accepted the order and went to make arrangements.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning the many slips of paper spread out on the table.

Anderson took advantage of the fact that the Irwin family had already opened up the entire Sentis River;

Unidentified individuals were seen conspiring near Dale Pier some time ago, often loitering along the riverbank. Based on the description, they can be identified as gang members, but the place has long since been deserted.

Anderson made several probing attempts, and the conflict between the two sides intensified, bringing war to the brink!

If we could unite with the Irving family and attack Anderson from both sides...

Dom smoked a cigarette and drew several black lines on the map with a pen.

"Dom wants to talk?" Joyce was stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray when he received the news from his informant.

When he smiled, his handsome face was incredibly charming.

"Let me guess, he wants to team up with us to deal with Anderson, right?"

The informant shook his head and replied, "I don't know, sir. Although this contact line is safe and Anderson won't find out about it, you should still be careful. After all, if you really meet him, it would be terrible if he had any ambush plans."

Joyce turned to his brother and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Chen, holding a newspaper, said calmly, "I'll go talk to him. You stay here and oversee things."

To be honest, Dom taking the initiative to talk was the best scenario I could have considered.

We have victory firmly in our grasp!

The little white cat perched on his shoulder nodded, munching on dried fish. "That's right, the three-month period is almost over. The final chapter mission is about to be released, and my host can easily handle it by throwing a few items at you!"

After the two brothers discussed it carefully, Joyce ultimately insisted on going to see Dom.

The two met in the basement of a small shop in a downtown department store and quickly reached an agreement to team up against Anderson.

Both sides held friendly and courteous negotiations on the distribution of benefits, and ultimately reached a consensus to take action!

"The operation is scheduled for three days from now, on the morning of the 16th." During the family meeting, Joyce pointed to the map and explained in detail: "At that time, our forces and Dom's forces will launch a pincer attack on Anderson."

The agreed-upon time was nine o'clock to begin the raid.

I will discuss the specific combat strategies in detail later.

Now let's talk about the backup plans we need to prepare.

"A backup plan? What's that?" Lucy looked blank. "What's the retreat plan if we can't beat Anderson?"

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, no, no, we should call it Project Fire Seed."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Ed shouted indignantly. "This wasn't part of our discussion! When are you going to stop doing things behind my back?"

"I'm the head of the family, okay?"

Joyce lit a cigarette and said absentmindedly, "I'm telling you now, Ed."

Listen carefully, even though I made a lot of promises when I talked to Dom.

But we all know that uniting to destroy Anderson is the only way for us.

Only by joining forces can we succeed!

Do you really think Dom is ethical and would share the profits with us?

That's absolutely impossible!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Final Mission

He tapped the hanging map with his pen. "Look at the geography. Dom has the upper hand."
