Chapter 184: Alexander's Intelligence
The other members of the Harris family scattered like birds and beasts. No one dared to provoke Carlos at this time, let alone Clarence, who had no intention of leaving.
After all the juniors had left, Carlos, with an unpleasant expression on his face, regained his previous calm demeanor and looked at Clarence with a thoughtful gaze.
"Tell me, will the Walker family really help this kid?" Carlos asked.
"Didn't Ethan Wilson already say so? The Walker family can't openly take sides!" Clarence smiled ambiguously and shook his head.
"Yes, the Walker family can't openly take sides, but they can still help him behind the scenes, right? Remington has always been proud and aloof. When has he ever been willing to owe anyone a favor?" Clarence explained.
Carlos seized on the usage of the word "openly" in Clarence's words. How could he not catch on?
"What do you think of that kid?" Carlos asked, changing the subject.
"Can't understand, can't figure him out! This is the first time a young person has given me such a feeling! Maybe I'm really too old?" Clarence pondered, shaking his head with a helpless expression.
After Ethan Wilson and Sarah walked out of the Harris family, they had no intention of taking a car. They walked hand in hand on the streets of Houston.
"I heard you don't come to Houston often. I guess you've been bullied by your cousin Samantha Roberts a lot, right?" Ethan Wilson asked as they walked.
"I'm already used to it. After all, I'm from the Harris family. I can't avoid it! I have to come back once or twice a year and face her sarcastic and arrogant face every time. Grandpa dotes on her the most, and I don't want to make things difficult for him. But you looked really handsome just now! You're the first one to make Grandpa so powerless!" Sarah pouted and shook her head, then gave Ethan Wilson a thumbs-up.
"Are you praising me with that? It feels weird!" Ethan Wilson couldn't help but laugh and cry at Sarah's words.
"I thought it was obvious, don't you understand?" Sarah responded.
Sarah rolled her eyes, but she felt grateful to Ethan Wilson for standing up for her in front of the Harris family, especially Carlos, which made her feel safe.
"So where are we going next? I don't think we have anything else to do today, so let me accompany you for a walk," Ethan Wilson suggested, smiling inwardly as he changed the subject.
"Then how about you accompany me to the movies?" Sarah said, grabbing Ethan Wilson's hand and running.
"But didn't we just watch one two days ago? You want to go again?" Ethan Wilson asked.
"Why, don't you want to? Tomorrow, someone else might be the one accompanying you to the movies!" Sarah replied playfully.
"Sarah... I promise, no matter what happens in the future, I'm willing to continue watching movies with you!" Ethan Wilson said.
"...player..." Sarah muttered.
"Just think of me as a player then!"
"Let's talk about it once you've taken Chloe back tomorrow! It's too early to brag now!"
"Do you doubt my abilities?"
"Ah... We're in public, and you dare to slap my butt..."
The sounds of their playful banter could be heard along the way, turning heads and causing envy from passersby.
That night, Ethan Wilson and Sarah stayed in a hotel near the Harris family mansion.
Sarah didn't avoid being seen with Ethan Wilson when Alexander, Houston's first appearance, was with them.
Inside the hotel suite, Alexander handed a document to Ethan Wilson as instructed.
"I found the records of the Wilson family members entering the capital on the internet, as you requested. These are the only people I could find. As for whether anyone entered by other means, I can't do anything about that," Alexander explained as Ethan Wilson looked through the documents.
"It's a pity that Brady didn't personally come. He actually let Logan Wilson represent the Wilson family at the engagement banquet of the Zhao and Yan families. This old fox sure played a good trick," Ethan Wilson said sarcastically, looking at the document in his hand.
Logan Wilson was his cousin, the son of his uncle and the most qualified person in the legitimate line of the Wilson family to inherit the family business. After all, he was the eldest son and grandson, so it was only natural.
But unfortunately, this cousin of his was not capable enough. After Brady found some leverage against him, he directly stripped him of his inheritance status, turning him into a tragic figure.
"Ethan Wilson was not aware of the internal struggle within the Wilson family, but he knew that Brady, the Great Elder, was not from their direct lineage. He had deposed the legitimate heir and then Ethan himself, with the goal of replacing the direct lineage and taking control of the Wilson family, is that correct?" Sarah inquired thoughtfully.
"Replace the direct lineage and take control of the Wilson family? On what grounds? Just because of his useless grandson, Tim?" Ethan Wilson scoffed dismissively.
"Mr. Wilson, among the people who came from the Wilson family this time, apart from Logan Wilson, there is one person you may need to pay attention to," Alexander reminded.
"You're talking about my uncle's eldest son, Rebecca Wilson?" Ethan Wilson asked, squinting his eyes. Although he hadn't been in contact with his cousins or the Wilson family for years, he had an impression of this Rebecca Wilson. While he was low-key, he was also a cunning individual.
His name was written right beneath Logan Wilson's.
"Based on the information I have gathered, it can be inferred that Rebecca Wilson is already on Brady's side. Perhaps Brady promised him some benefits. In any case, after you left the Wilson family and went to Novaria,Brady has been intentionally or unintentionally grooming him. And apart from you, he has been the most outstanding among his siblings, with rumors suggesting that he may become a member of the Elder Council. If that's true, he could potentially be the youngest member in the history of the Wilson family's Elder Council!" Alexander explained all of Rebecca Wilson's situation in one breath.
"What is his strength?" Ethan Wilson asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It is said that he once fought Eli, the number one fighter of the Shadow Gang, under Brady's instructions, and the result was a draw," Alexander continued to explain.
"Eli, the strongest in the Shadow Gang?" Ethan Wilson was somewhat surprised. He had not noticed that his cousin was such a skilled fighter or had such extraordinary martial talent. Perhaps it was simply because he was too low-profile?
Shadow Gang had only been in contact with Mike and Vincent, and based on their strength, it was believed that Eli's strength would only be stronger, perhaps far surpassing them.
"The Wilson family, a group of fourteen people, all young descendants of three generations. Aside from Logan Wilson and Rebecca Wilson, who lead the direct line, the others were selected from collateral and vassal families. But there is no need to worry too much! What concerns me is that there may be other members of the Wilson family secretly coming to the capital, possibly targeting you!" Alexander reminded earnestly.
"No worries, I also want to see what methods the Wilson family will use to deal with me," Ethan Wilson said, but he wasn't feeling relaxed in his heart at all, especially after his encounter with Elmer, he felt even more insignificant.
Now, he wouldn't underestimate himself, but he wouldn't be arrogant either.
"Also, the information you asked me to gather about the Ashford family is here! Besides Kenny himself, tomorrow his parents Marlon Hughes and Barbara Alexander will also be present. As for whether other members of the Ashford family will attend, I am currently unable to confirm! Besides the father and son from the Ashford family, you should also pay attention to Barbara Alexander from the Shen family!" Alexander placed another piece of intelligence about the Ashford family on the table in front of Ethan Wilson with a serious expression.
"The Shen family? The Shen family known as the top family outside?" Ethan Wilson raised his eyebrows in surprise.
That's right, Barbara Alexander comes from the Shen family, a direct line member. Although the Shen family is mainly based outside, they also have roots in the Central Plains. They have connections with many other prestigious families and their strength should not be underestimated!" Alexander added gravely.
