But the remaining members of the Brain Trust, as well as those who were still coveting a seat among them or the factions from various quarters,
would inevitably exert their influence in secret.
They would have to orchestrate the removal of the Lu-surnamed member from the exclusive hundred-member council.
Because only in such a case,
when a seat in the hundred-member Brain Trust became available, would others have the chance to enter and take control of the supreme authority, second only to the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
Otherwise, no matter how influential or powerful other family clans were,
they would be unable to step into this circle of highest power centered around the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
And if things were to unfold as anticipated,
Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family of Qingshi City, committed to his family's development and growth, would not hesitate to sacrifice the Lu-surnamed member of the Brain Trust.
