A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 1047

Ignatius' tone was calm, but the determination was clear in his voice. He had openly declared his allegiance to Jack and was going to stand with Carpenter Corporation to oppose the Roe, Trevell, and Gould families.

A person who wielded incomparable authority in Tarthy City had decided to stand behind Elias. Along with the Godfather of Calisota's underground, Caspian, and the capital tycoon, Samuel and his entourage of Chopington's capitalists, Elias had gathered an incredible force to be reckoned with.

No matter how confident Patrick may be, he felt as if he might spit blood at any moment. He couldn't understand what was happening that night. Why had everything spiraled out of his control?

Patrick was only able to exert his influence in Tarthy, order the elites around as he pleased, as well as control most of Tarthy's upper class because he had four pillars that fed into his power.

The first pillar was that he had an immensely powerful figure supporting him behind the scenes. The second pillar was Winona's father, Gerard. The third pillar was Casey's father, the Godfather of Tarthy's underground, Ignatius. The fourth pillar was the Big Four of Tarthy City.

However, one of the pillars, the Godfather of Tarthy's underground, had defected to the other side and was now openly opposing him. Ignatius' actions wasn't just a blow to Patrick's reputation, but he was also announcing to everyone present that the Godfather of Tarthy's underground would not be biased toward Patrick just because Winona fancied him.

In the battle between Carpenter Corporation against the Roe, Trevell, and Gould families, the latter three may be wealthy, but their fortunes did not make them invulnerable. With Ignatius, the Chopington capitalists, and Caspian joining the fray, Elias' power had grown to an immeasurable degree.

In fact, it was likely that he wielded enough power to thoroughly crush the Roe, Trevell, and Gould alliance under his feet.

However, it was Patrick's turn to be disappointed. Confusion was written all over Casey's face, making it clear that she had no idea why Ignatius had decided to help Elias. She didn't have a clue as to why Ignatius would abandon the man she was in love with to ally himself with the enemy.

As her gaze fell on Jack, who stood in the middle of the crowd, she was struck with an idea. Perhaps Ignatius decided to support Elias because he had been charmed by Jack. But how Jack had managed to convince Ignatius to give him his unconditional support, that was still a mystery to Casey.

Jett's expression had also morphed into one of intense regret. His regret stretched all the way back to when he had first laid eyes on Jack, when he had accompanied Elias to visit him in his home.

His heart had also begun its descent into his gut from the moment Jack moved to stand firmly in front of Elias, and to the moment when the alliance between the Chopington capitalists and Ignatius was formed, giving Elias incredible power.
