Leanna had already anticipated that once they enforced the economic blockade, it would cause disruptions for businesses of all sizes in Eastcliff. To counter this, she promptly issued a notice under Matthew's name, announcing plans to acquire surplus parts from various enterprises.
Eastcliff is Matthew's stronghold, and if the local businesses go under, it will undoubtedly affect the city's growth and stability.
…
Meanwhile, at the Cunningham Residence in Bainbridge, Terrance sat with a grim expression at the top of the guest hall. Mark and Regis were seated on either side of him, while behind them stood the heads of numerous minor families.
"Is this blockade just for show? Why hasn't Eastcliff fallen into chaos yet?" Terrance's icy gaze swept over everyone as he angrily demanded an explanation.
In the past, their economic monopolies would trigger widespread panic, pushing some businesses into bankruptcy. The fallout was often so severe that people would even take drastic measures like committing suicide. What frustrated Terrance this time was that, despite their efforts, Eastcliff stayed composed, showing no signs of turmoil.
As the room fell silent, Mark stepped in to ease the tension. "Terrance, don't be so hasty. We've successfully swayed international opinion, but domestically, Eastcliff is Matthew's stronghold, making it difficult to create chaos here."
Mark's words made Terrance's gaze flicker. "Since we can't make any real headway in Eastcliff, let's lift the blockade for now. If the authorities get wind of this, it could backfire on us."
