Avina didn't know what prompted her to ask but she did anyway, "And what happens if they do?"
Donolve thought for a moment and replied, "His business would suffer because he relies on us for man support and supplies. Plus, most of his land is under us and he has a debt under one of our banks too. There's so much that we can use to destroy him legally."
A chill ran up Avina's back. Legally, he said. That means there are many other illegal things he could have done, but he'll opt for legality to avoid trouble. And Avina didn't want to imagine what other things he could have done.
Avina gulped. "Will you actually do it?"
All the things he mentioned where things that could destroy the Mordant completely. His business, his home, and if they got to the debts, then his everything. The Mordant head would have nothing then, not even their own prestige could save them then.
