Aiden nodded in confirmation. "If you take over as the Grand Master, I will support you as an Elder and then we can decide what is worth keeping and what will be disbanded but in an orderly way where we will remove resources from their hands before we let go of the people."
Hong's expression was unreadable. "What can the two of us do? It will be the two of us surrounded by Elders and other characters who are gathering supporters for decades and they will all have in common seeing us as newcomers who snatched something they believe it's theirs."
"It does not need to be just the two of us. Didn't you mention that there are people loyal to your father, and maybe to you? After Simeon is out, people will approach you and we can confirm their sincerity with the truth potion."
