Chapter 480 Logan Is Here Again
Ethan remained composed, keeping his thoughts hidden from his expression. He had already prepared for the worst. The three heads of the branch families in front of him were a pleasant surprise, making him feel that the Wilson family wasn't entirely hopeless. At least there were a few people who were still decent.
"Let me introduce you." Jessie stood up at this moment, intending to introduce the identities of these people to Ethan.
"No need. Despite this being our first encounter, I'm not unfamiliar with you. This is Oliver Wilson from the Silvervale branch, this is Lucas Wilson from the Atlante branch, and this should be Simon Wilson from Berlyn." Before Jessie introduced them, Ethan proactively identified the three people in front of him.
Except for Jessie, Oliver, and the others looked somewhat surprised, with some even showing a hint of being flattered. They obviously didn't expect Ethan to accurately name them without having met them before.
In fact, Ethan didn't know all the key figures of the Wilson family branches, but he had seen information on most of them and remembered it.
Among the Silvervale, Atlante, and Berlyn branches, the Atlante branch was one of the top ten in terms of strength within the numerous Wilson family branches. The other two were much less prominent.
The Washingten branch, where Beverly was from, ranked ninth in terms of assets and performance among the many branch families. In other words, among the top ten branch families, only the last two were currently on his side.
At least for now, that was the situation. After all, some things didn't need to be said outright. As Beverly mentioned, attitude revealed a lot.
However, the attitude of these three branch families was entirely different from the one he was about to present to all the branch families in the afternoon.
"Please, have a seat," Ethan smiled and reminded the three, who were still in a daze.
"Alright, after you." Ethan's politeness was unexpected to Lucas and the others, making them even more satisfied and respectful towards him.
"These three were friends of your father. Knowing that I was back, they came directly to see me today," Jessie explained to Ethant.
"I know. Those who come to see you are on our side." Ethan smiled and nodded.
Other scheming guys were busy figuring out how to deal with him and couldn't even remember Jessie.
"Just call me Ethan. I'm here today to reassure you. I can guarantee that as long as you support my reforms in the Wilson family, you will gain much more in the future than you do now," Ethan said seriously to Lucas and the others.
Hearing this, Lucas and the other two exchanged glances, showing a look of agreement. They were obviously very satisfied with what Ethan had just said.
"Ethan, you know the current situation. Although you have the support of our families, most people still oppose your reform plan," Lucas hesitated for a moment before speaking seriously.
"That's right. While Brady has ordered all branch families to cooperate with you, as long as the shares and assets are not fully recovered, no one can guarantee they will comply, and they can always go back on their word," Oliver nodded in agreement and echoed.
"And if the opposition becomes mainstream, even if you become the head of the family, you have to consider the influence. The Wilson family can't be in chaos," Simon added.
"Your concerns are valid, and I understand them. I will handle the branch families carefully. Please rest assured. The things you worry about won't happen," Ethan assured them seriously.
"That's great. We've been waiting to see you. Now that we've met and reached a consensus, we'll leave first. We can go back to our branch families and listen to their opinions, and relay the information to you in time," Lucas stood up and said.
"Okay." Ethan stood up, not trying to keep them.
After Ethan sent Lucas and the others away, the smile on his face disappeared.
"What are you thinking about?" Jessie asked softly.
"Do you think I would give them a chance to threaten me?" Ethan asked with a cold smile.
"Yes, not only does Brady need to help you deal with the branch families, but Zephyr and Dashiell will also be involved in your plans. Dashiell is a key figure among the branch families. If he stands with you, many things can be decided." Jessie nodded in agreement.
"Let's hope Zephyr doesn't disappoint me!" Ethan chuckled noncommittally.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran over and reported to Ethan, "Logan is here again!"
Hearing this, Ethan glanced at Jessie and instructed the guard, "You go out first, and I'll be right there."
When Ethan walked out of the Shadow Gang, Logan was sneaking around the corner, afraid of being seen.
"Are you trying to be a thief?" Ethan asked, amused by his behavior.
"I'm just afraid the people from the branch families will see me coming to you, especially Dashiell," Logan explained nervously.
"Are they here?" Ethan raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Yes, they just arrived, so I came to find you immediately," Logan quickly nodded and explained.
"Why are you looking for me?" Ethan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't you tell me to inform Zephyr? But you didn't say when. Should I tell him now or wait until your succession ceremony tomorrow?" Logan asked uncertainly.
"Tell him now. Waiting until tomorrow will be too late!" Ethan rolled his eyes. Logan was really stupid. It seemed that in the future, he would have to explain everything to him in detail.
"What if he goes to Brady today?" Logan reminded him nervously.
"Don't worry. He won't be that stupid. Going to Brady now would be asking for trouble. He is no match for Brady," Ethan reminded confidently.
"That makes sense." Logan nodded. If it were him, even if he were tricked by Brady, he wouldn't dare to confront him.
"Hurry up and go," Ethan urged Logan again.
"Alright, I'm going. Remember your promise," Before leaving, Logan reminded Ethan.
Watching Logan's departing figure, Ethan showed a cold smile.
If Zephyr were smart, he wouldn't confront Brady directly. His only option was to cooperate with Ethan. With his limited skills, he was no match for Brady.
Once Zephyr compromised, Dashiell would naturally be on Ethan's side, making the rest of the tasks much easier.
