Chapter: 1498

Tristan took a moment to ponder over the Miller family's status. In the world of organized crime, they were quite influential.

There were over a hundred members in the Miller family. Tristan had considerable power, but eradicating an entire family was beyond his capabilities.

"It's impossible," Tristan said honestly. Eliminating a few individuals from the family would have been manageable.

Norah felt somewhat let down. She had proposed this extreme measure to gauge Tristan's limits, and it appeared she had reached them.

"Then, concerning the leader of the Miller family and a few others, I expect to hear they are no longer a concern."

She retrieved a list from her bag, which contained names of those she deemed most harmful to the Frazier family, having learned their histories.

Eliminating these individuals would significantly reduce the threat to the Frazier family.

With these key figures gone, the Miller family's influence would naturally decline, shifting the balance of power in favor of the Frazier family.

A man approached, took the list from her, and handed it to Tristan.

After scanning the names, Tristan clarified, "I can eliminate three individuals for you, as you were entitled to three requests.”

The list had five names, but he was only able to accommodate three.

Norah quickly deliberated and selected three names, including the head of the Miller family, each of them prominent within their ranks.

Tristan nodded. "Tonight, the committee will execute the mission. Your token will no longer have its contractual effect. If you need to see me, bring the token to the committee."

“Alright.” Norah decisively stored the token. "Since you require my services, the fee is one thousand dollars."

Her rates were mood-dependent. Typically, she might waive the fee if cheerful, but today her spirits were low.

Tristan readily agreed, signaling that money was no issue.

Thus, before departing, Norah collected a consultation fee of thirty thousand dollars.

While it wasn't precisely what she had hoped for, resolving some issues still felt productive.

Would they really take action tonight? She wondered. Then she decided to follow them as well.

This would shift all responsibility to the committee, distancing both her and the Frazier family from the fallout.

Upon her return to the Fraziers' house, she found Huntley in his study. She knocked before entering.

"Uncle Huntley."

"Norah, what brings you here?" Huntley looked up, set aside his paperwork, and clasped his hands on the desk with a grave expression.

He was deeply involved in managing the troubles with the Miller family, oblivious to their potential reprisals against the Fraziers.
