Isn't it asking for trouble for those two little girls to go in?
And what's even more puzzling is that Patrick and the Anderson family man actually agreed to it," Alfie stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking up at the blue sky above, "Maybe the people from the Research Institute have pressured her too much. If the Shaw family really succeeds in taking control, it will be even harder for the Turner family to regain control of the Institute."
Leon's eyes were cold and clear, but he didn't say anything.
Alfie looked gloomy, "If..."
Leon suddenly spoke up, "Do you know if the young master of the Poole family has feelings for her?"
Alfie was stunned.
Leon leaned lazily against the table, his fingertips pinching a cigarette, not looking at the other person in the office, "If the Turner family wants to regain control of the Institute, marrying into the Poole family is the quickest shortcut."
"If Lady Selena wants to avenge her parents, marrying into the Anderson family is the best choice."
"Those two men, one loves her and the other is loved by her, but she hasn't given any thought to it."
"Looking back at everything Lady Selena has done since returning to the capital, besides intimidating others, she has not involved the Anderson family in any of her actions."
"Do you know why?"
The bright office fell silent.
After a long time, Alfie smiled, "Because she hasn't really fallen in love with that man yet."
Because she doesn't love him, she can't rely on him with a clear conscience.
Leon frowned, but then he remembered the Soo family's strict and different rules, and his face softened, "I think, perhaps it's because they treasure and love each other too much, that's why they are like this..."
Alfie's lips curled into a cold smile, "You forgot one thing."
Leon looked up at him.
Alfie smiled gently, his eyes icy, "He has never loved her for who she really is."
...
On the deserted island.
Almost at the same time, the two groups arrived at the mountain.
Then, almost simultaneously, they silently occupied the south and north camps, leaving people to guard the rear, in case the other side tried to sneak attack. The groups climbed to the edge of the camp and began discussing their tactics.
Richard spoke first, "Mrs. Anderson, how are we going to fight? Are we going to charge over like last night and win with a 50-person head start... even if we attack head-on?"
Selena stood quietly on the mountaintop, overlooking the entire battlefield, and smiled, "If we really fight like this, you'll be the first to go out."
Richard, "..."
Kevin frowned, "What does Miss Turner mean?"
Selena held a bow and arrow prepared by Richard on the road, and said with a smile, "If the intelligence you gave me isn't too wrong, I guess the other side's next move is to send an elite team with explosive packs. They will detonate as much as we push forward, narrowing the gap."
...
At the same time.
Thomas stood in front of the team and said in a deep voice, "I need an 'elite team' to help me stop the enemy's vanguard. If I'm not mistaken, there's a more than fifty percent chance they will launch a strong attack, and eighty percent of the ones who will charge forward will be Richard. We must take him down at all costs!"
"To win, sacrifices must be made, but don't worry, you won't be eliminated in vain. We will avenge you with our final victory!"
The so-called elite team is nothing more than cannon fodder.
In the situation where they were outnumbered, it was impossible to fight head-on. They had to find a way to reduce the numerical gap between the two teams.
Controlled sacrifices are better than fearless ones!
As soon as Thomas finished speaking, many hands were raised in the team, volunteering.
