Chapter 1875: Resisting Strength Chapter 1875: Resisting Strength Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After hearing the unexpected support from several prominent figures, the crowd turned their heads in surprise.

It turned out that the person speaking was Sebastian Wheeler, the head of the Wei family in Porthampton.

The Wei family was one of the most influential clans in Porthampton, so Sebastian’s support carried significant weight.

“Mr.

Sebastian, what do you mean by this?” The others were puzzled by Sebastian’s expression.

“It’s nothing.

I just think that Mr.

Saul’s words make sense, and merging is the way forward.

I advise everyone not to struggle further,” Sebastian said expressionlessly.

“Yes, I agree,” another leader from a different prominent family chimed in.

“I also agree…” In no time, representatives from seven or eight major families chose to stand on Saul’s side.

It was evident that they had been persuaded or bought off by him in advance.

“I didn’t expect these major families to willingly accept the merger.

If it goes through, their losses might even be greater than ours!” “Yes, are these people out of their minds?” “I think they might have had no other choice.

After all, with the Zook family and Empire World Corporation joining forces, there’s hardly anyone in the Four Provinces who can oppose them!” “If only Mr.

Connor were still alive, we wouldn’t have ended up like this…” The expressions on their faces were filled with frustration and helplessness, and they continued to whisper among themselves.

“I understand that this situation has come suddenly, and you might need some time to think it over.

I’ll give you that time.

An hour from now, I hope you can give me a clear answer, either agree or disagree.

Once today is over, there won’t be any opportunity for regrets,” Saul told them.

The crowd looked at him with a sense of despair, unsure of how to proceed.

“What are your plans, Miss Wilvera?” At this moment, a middle-aged man approached Wilvera and asked softly.

“At this point, merging seems to be the prevailing trend.

Several major families in Davenport have already chosen to merge, and the rest are just smaller companies.

If these small companies can unite, they might be able to resist for a while.

However, if they lack unity, they’ll likely face the same fate,” she replied, taking a sip of her wine, her eyes flashing with a hint of resignation.

Although she was unwilling to see her company being merged like this, she didn’t know how to resist these powerful individuals.

Empire World Corporation alone was already formidable, and now there was the backing of the Zook family in Yang City.

“Saul’s tactics are too ruthless.

He’s left us with no way out!” Another person commented.

“It’s not that Saul’s tactics are ruthless; it’s that Connor was too soft on us.

If Connor had wanted to use Empire World Corporation to acquire and merge your companies, you would have had no way out long ago…” she remarked.

“That might be true.

Without Mr.

Connor’s help over the years, many of us wouldn’t have survived until now…” The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

“But don’t be too pessimistic.

There might still be a chance…” she said.

“A chance?” The crowd looked bewildered upon hearing her words, their expressions filled with confusion.

“What do you mean, Miss Wilvera?” the middle-aged man asked.

“You shouldn’t forget that, while some people are willing to merge with Empire World Corporation, others don’t want to see it happen.

Their loyalty to Connor is beyond what we can imagine.

If those people show up today, we might still have a glimmer of hope…” Wilvera said with an impassive expression.

“Miss Wilvera, what exactly are you saying?” The crowd remained puzzled, their expressions reflecting their lack of understanding.

“You’ll find out when the time comes…” she replied.

On the other side, after finishing his speech, Saul returned to the private room with Yannick.

Yannick was still visibly excited and said with a grin, “Mr.

Saul, you’re amazing!

I didn’t expect you could convince Sebastian and the others.

Now that these major families have declared their support, I believe the remaining small company owners will also choose to merge with us…” “It’s quite easy to deal with these major families in Porthampton,” Saul replied casually.

“From now on, the Four Provinces will be ours!” Yannick grinned.

“Don’t oversimplify things.

Truly gaining control over the entire Four Provinces won’t be so easy,” Saul warned.

“Control the Four Provinces?

What do you mean, Mr.

Saul?” Yannick looked even more puzzled.

“I’m having trouble understanding your words…” “Your’re too naive,” Saul said with a hint of helplessness.

“Haven’t you noticed that some people didn’t show up today?” Yannick paused, then whispered, “You mean the figures from the underworld in the Four Provinces?” “Exactly, those people.” Saul nodded.

“They’re just gangsters.

What can they do if they don’t show up?” Yannick shrugged casually.

“They’re not just gangsters.

They control resources far greater than those major families.

If they refuse to merge with us, we’ll only be able to secure half of the Four Provinces.

The other half will remain under their control.

If they unite, they could pose a formidable challenge to us.

It could become troublesome,” Saul sighed.

“Mr.

Saul, do you have any suitable methods to deal with these people?” Yannick asked.
