Jake and Ainsley also realised that they were in a deadlock right now. Even if both sides' reinforcements arrived, things might still end up like now. 

The Téssera Alliance did win, but it wasn't an overwhelming victory. 

The other party might think that they could win next time. They would keep waging war toward the island, definitely disturbing Pandora Island's future development. 

What Ainsley and Jake wanted was an overwhelming victory because they didn't want any other powerhouses to try attacking the island. 

Being attacked at all times would also be tiring, okay? 

But they didn't want to share this piece of fat meat, Pandora Island, with the government. 

It's not like Ainsley didn't love her country. It's just that the government was hell-bent on destroying the mafia, even when the mafia didn't bring too much harm to the ordinary citizens. 

The mafia was indeed bad and problematic in the past, but they're definitely better nowadays. If not, the big guilds wouldn't cooperate with the mafias! 

The current mafia generation only broke the law regarding a black market, selling unauthorized potions or items, selling weapons, and selling drugs. 

The thing with the drug was really tricky because sometimes, these drugs didn't harm human beings. The drugs became ingredients for certain potions. 

But drugs could be used for bad things, too, making the drug business a very tricky problem. 

Aside from that, most of the mafia families only got involved in the prostitution business, but most of them would only accept prostitutes who were willing to do this kind of work. 

They wouldn't kidnap young girls or boys and force them to become prostitutes. They would also never use human beings as payment for someone's debt. 

Only a small percentage of mafia families still did bad things like slavery, forced prostitution, selling organs, kidnapping children, and so on. 

But the government still targeted the mafia families who didn't break the taboo and only broke the law by a bit. It couldn't be helped, okay? 

The mafia family was still a mafia. Their business would obviously not be very honest. 

But the government didn't hate the mafia because of a justified reason like wanting to bring safety to their citizens. 

It was because the mafia's influence threatened their own influence and power. 

Many of the mafia families owned territories that should have belonged to the government but the government couldn't even take back the territories that they had lost for centuries. 

Usually, only the nobles and aristocrats could have a territory and own the land as a landlord. 

But the mafia snatched the nobles' territories, also challenging the government's governing influence too. 

The government was afraid that the mafia would overthrow the government and changed the country's politics, leading to many troubles inside and outside the country. 

But the mafias, even the mafia council, never thought of overthrowing the government, much less creating a new governing system whatsoever. 

They only wanted to continue their mafia tradition that had lasted for a century or so. 

It was hard for the mafia to change their mafia family into an ordinary influential powerhouse like the Billios Family. 

They had the pride of a mafia too! 

Thus, the government and the mafias always clashed with each other. 

Now, the government wanted to take Pandora Island to strengthen their influence as well as weaken the mafias. 

But Ainsley wanted all of this to end and peacefully start her Inheritance Stone business within the country, abroad, and even to the non-human races too. 

She wanted the Sloan Family to be even more influential than the Billios Family! 

Jake and Ainsley looked at each other from afar and nodded as they spoke through their Airpods. 

"Jake, what do you think we should do? Even if both our reinforcements arrive, I don't think this will solve the problem." 

Ainsley paused before hesitantly coming up with a suggestion. 

"Should we include more members into the Téssera Alliance? Maybe we should invite some honest and trustworthy nobles to pressure the government?" 

Ainsley thought that if the nobles could enjoy the island's benefit, they would try to persuade the government to stop trying to rob the island for the country. 

After all, that island had been a personal property for more than a decade and the government had never cared about that island, not until they knew the island's huge benefit. 

Jake was silent for a few seconds before agreeing. 

"I know some high-ranking nobles that are neutral and don't really side with the government. We can invite them and add more fighting power to our alliance." 

An old family like the Billios Family did have a vast connection both inside and outside the Godlif Country. 

"Oh, right. I think we should also invite the non-human races to join the alliance." 

Ainsley almost slipped and fell. Thankfully, half of her body control was in the Godfather's hand, and she was only in charge of moving her mouth right now. 

"Inviting the non-human races too?! Is it possible??" 

"Possible. You can tell them that the way to buy inheritance stones from Pandora Island is by becoming an alliance member." 

It would also make things easier for the alliance members who were in charge of selling the stones to the non-human races. 

With one or two non-human races powerhouses on their side, plus the Billios Family's connection, they could easily infiltrate the non-human races market to sell the Inheritance Stones. 

They would face less doubt and suspicions and also avoid some unnecessary or unforeseen troubles. 

"How is it? We don't need to ask the royalties of the non-human races to join our alliance because the royalties already entered the World Union organisation." 

Jake paused before continuing. 

"We only need some merchant families, military families, political and production families from each non-human race."
