[Andrew Alex's perspective.]
"Last year, the young master of the Mayfield family, Derek, wanted to do business with me. You knew what he wanted. Gambling, pornography, drugs, firearms, killing, robbing, and money laundering. Do you know what is the most important and most profitable?"
"Firearms and drugs?"
"Smart." I nodded in approval. "Your family got rich because of pornography, but your people are idiots. The Paxtons control the largest drug business, and the Celestons have controlled firearms for generations. Our Alex family's biggest revenue comes from the casinos. This is almost the consensus of the major families, and they all maintain a delicate balance. However, nobody's honest here. They all want to take a piece of the pie from someone else's hands. The Mayfield family was the first to make a move."
I saw Yuna's confused expression. She obviously did not understand why I suddenly brought this up.
