In the end, no matter how tenacious the Naran Family was, they couldn't shake the fact that their commander was already defeated.
Plus the fact that Ainsley started to go rampage on the battlefield using her blood manipulation ability in her shaman mode, the Naran troops didn't hold on for so long.
In no time, they slowly retreated and scattered around the forests.
Well, they knew that their commander was already done for, but each of them was still waiting for the day the Sloan Family fell from the epidemic to devour the whole family.
As long as the mafia council didn't know and there's no proof, they could stay shameless! Then, they still had a chance to take over the Sloan Family to cover their losses.
That night, after cleaning up the battlefield, Ainsley gathered her elites who stayed at the Connecting Hall to do an emergency meeting.
This time, she didn't let the inner circle members who were stationed outside of the mansion to join the meeting, afraid that they were already infected and could possibly spread the virus around.
"Okay, the enemy is already dealt with. Now, for the virus…"
It was already midnight. The third day of the tournament's second round had started, but the enemy had already backed off. That's how they could hold this emergency meeting.
When Ainsley mentioned the word 'virus', those in the meeting room instantly had gloomy faces.
"Boss. I think we should quarantine everyone in our family. Self-quarantine, one person in one room. We should wait until tomorrow to see whether they're infected or not."
The medical division in the family made this suggestion.
An epidemic was no laughing matter. It was extremely serious and could even inflict ordinary people outside of the family.
Although only ability users would die...but it was still an epidemic! What if the ordinary people suddenly awakened their abilities while the virus was still inside their body?
The moment they formed a core, the virus would actively mess up the energy inside the core, eventually breaking the heart and killing the victim.
"Which building should we use for self-isolation? The emergency building has no single rooms."
Ainsley started to feel headaches over this matter.
The emergency building was built to hold as many patients as possible, so they just created a huge hall with many beds for the injured soldiers to be treated.
There were ten or so private rooms, but it wouldn't be enough for the members' self-isolation.
To be extra careful, Ainsley also wanted those who were stationed at the mansion to undergo the same self-isolation.
She's afraid that the enemies sneaking into the mansion actually carried viruses with them.
Who knows, right?
"Should we use the side mansions or branch mansions outside of the territory?" Ainsley cautiously asked her people in the meeting room.
They still had many mansions before they conquered, but it wasn't located at the Sloan Family's main territory.
They wouldn't know if the infected people were in trouble or not because of the distance.
"....the side buildings aside from this mansion have many rooms...if we count the basement and other small rooms, maybe we can do this."
One of Ainsley's people gave Ainsley the data over their side buildings, which the branch families mainly used because they hadn't occupied the branch mansions outside of the main territory.
"Overall, using all the side buildings and the main mansion, we can house up to 1000 members. The rest…"
The Sloan Family had up to 2000 members now, but they could only provide self-isolation rooms for half of the overall members.
This is troubling, indeed.
"Hummm, let's assume all unconscious people a few hours ago were infected. We don't need them to do self-isolation anymore. And those who come into contact with the suspects…"
Ainsley calculated briefly in her mind and nodded.
"Maybe there would be around 200 people counted as suspects. As for the rest, we can only ask them to scatter around the forests, don't come into contact with each other, wear masks, and that will do?"
Ainsley meant to use the forests as a self-isolation room for the other members who wouldn't receive a room.
Anyway, it was only a day...if the members didn't meet each other and wore masks and other precautions, one could easily keep track of the infected people.
"After a day, those who show symptoms should report through the family app."
Ainsley tapped the wooden table with her tiny fingers as she continued her speech.
"We don't need to worry about infected people who don't have symptoms because Paul said there will be a symptom, even if only one or two."
Everyone would be resting for a day and even drank recovery potion, so if they still felt a trace of fatigue, one could suspect them of being infected.
Those who had a fever and other symptoms would also be isolated as suspects.
While the family tried to prevent the virus from spreading, Ainsley had three days to think of a cure.
The people in the hall contemplated the idea and eventually agreed.
"Okay, we will do as you say, Ain." Grandpa Yofan finally spoke and he slowly patted Ainsley's head.
The old man looked especially worried about Ainsley, but he couldn't show it so that the others wouldn't panic either.
Since Grandpa Yofan also agreed with the plan, that night, the members got relocated into countless small rooms and those who weren't too injured were sent to the forests around the mansion.
Of course, when the Naran Family saw the Sloan troops scattered around the forest, instead of attacking them, they chose to avoid the members.
They're already vaccinated, but what if they got infected too?
Let's not court death!
