Upon hearing Victoria's words, Romeo and Harlow both looked shocked.
Why would she want to go after Mason in the face of the panic caused by NC Organization? What did Mason have to do with any of this?
Victoria snorted coldly, her expression darkening as she spoke. "Yes, it is Mason," she said, her eyes flashing with a vicious coldness. "Haven't you heard what Charlie said? NC Organization has been trying to expand their influence into Edoland recently! And who do you think will be their biggest obstacle when they get here? Of course it will be the local underground forces in Edoland - that is, Mason and Henry's power."
As Victoria finished speaking, Romeo and Harlow exchanged a glance as if they were just beginning to understand.
"Grandma... are you saying that you want to go after Mason?" Harlow asked uncertainly.
"And use this opportunity to help NC Organization eliminate his local power so we can seek forgiveness from them?" Romeo added thoughtfully.
Victoria's expression remained cold and ruthless as she slowly nodded her head in agreement. "That's exactly what I mean," she said firmly. "I believe that if we help NC Organization out like this - such a big favor - then they should be able to overlook the fact that four people died because of us."
Harlow swallowed hard at Victoria's idea; even just thinking about it made her feel uneasy.
"But... Mason is your grandson!" She protested weakly.
"He may have been my grandson once," Victoria replied icily, her tone unforgiving and unfeeling.
"But he was already kicked out of the family along with his entire family due to our conflict with Lachlan and Miranda; he chose their side over ours without hesitation!"
"If not for the family supporting him all these years, where would he be now?"
"So no... he is not my grandson anymore!" Victoria declared harshly.
"Humph!"
Victoria spoke truthfully, her attitude ruthless and indifferent.
Not to mention her longstanding grudge against Mason, she had supported Romeo in dealing with Mason in the past. Even without that, given her extremely selfish nature, she would sacrifice anyone to protect herself.
So what if he was her grandson? How could he compare to her own life?
At this moment, Romeo gave his daughter a stern look, silencing her useless words. Then he showed a hint of admiration to Victoria and gave her a thumbs up.
"Mom, you're always so cunning! You're right, the reason the NC Organization refused to reconcile before was because we didn't have enough bargaining chips! If we can expose Mason's influence, I believe they will definitely sit down and negotiate with us."
"Yes! That's the idea! But now, the three of us are the most vulnerable targets for the NC Organization. So, I only trust the two of you. No one else can be trusted. To ensure nothing goes wrong, I don't plan to use other skilled family members to deal with Mason. That's why I need you to find someone."
"As far as I know, Mason has been following Lachlan lately and seems to have learned a few tricks," Victoria said.
Romeo nodded, "Understood! I'll have Rohan take action. He is absolutely loyal to me!"
"Yes," Victoria agreed, and then she contacted Thunderstorm of the NC Organization once again.
