Gordon's voice was calm and measured, "Maybe not in the past, but now? It's hard to say." Jenna frowned, "Is it because of... James?"

The last time James said he would stand up for Odie, it was clear they were in cahoots.

Adler, clearly irritated, chimed in, "This James is a real headache, Mr. Gordon. Even if our families join forces, can't we take down Burke International?"

"It's tough to say," Gordon replied. "The Burke family has been thriving ever since James took over. Even the original big four families have had to tread carefully around them. This just shows how capable he really is."

Jenna frowned deeper. "But why would James team up with the Mintons? Everyone knows the Minton family is a hot potato. The Burke family's businesses are all legitimate. Isn't James asking for trouble by partnering with them?"

Gordon sighed lightly, "Maybe because the Burke family's businesses are all above board, James feels the need to rely on the Minton family. After all, there are certain things he has to handle that aren't exactly legal, and he can't rely on Colby for that, can he?"

Gordon glanced at Sophie before continuing, "Moreover, James has his reasons. Sophie is the head of S Corporation. Together with our four big families, including the Dennis family, James' position is inevitably threatened. His only option is to team up with the Mintons. With the Minton family comes the support of the Pollards, naturally elevating Burke International to a new level, making it hard for us to compete."
