From a purely black-and-white perspective, the Gao Family and the Zhao Family had wrought upon Lu City a catastrophe.
The annihilation of both families would not make up for the loss experienced due to the catastrophe.
But from the standpoint of Lu City's development, it was impossible for the Gao Family and the Zhao Family to disappear.
The industries and industry chains they were involved in encompassed all facets of Lu City.
If the two families were eradicated, the number of people who depended on them for their livelihood might even surpass the number of casualties from the catastrophe.
If the two families were to perish, only the remaining three among the Lu Du Five Families could possibly divide up their resources.
Contemplating such a massive benefit, the She Family, Wu Family, and He Family would invariably disrupt the present equilibrium.
This would plunge all of Lu City into decades of turmoil.
