No one at this moment would concern themselves with how Old Hawke would possibly handle the situation.
Or, to put it bluntly, Old Hawke no longer had any value to make use of.
His series of mistakes and foolish actions had led him to his current state.
No one else was at loss, only he had sheepishly exited the stage of this power struggle.
The matter did not end that easily, it's just that Old Hawke no longer had any qualifications to join the fray.
In such a situation, this matter does not need any other, more explanation for the problem.
The situation at this moment is as simple as it appears on the surface.
Before the power struggle is over, things will not easily cease.
And, in the face of this situation, people no longer need anything else, or more to think about.
The situation itself at this time is enough to make it simple, just like what is seen on the surface.
Any further consideration or concern for the problem...
