Cooperation Invitation

Hearing Lucas agreeing to her request, Florence was instantly overjoyed. She said in excitement, "Sure. Tell me the conditions!"
Lucas said, "First, I'm only going to befriend the Howards, but I'll still be in control of California and Oregon. The Howards are not to interfere in any way!"
Now, he had already become the overlord of California and Oregon. Although he didn't care about fame and power, the Hales and the Sawyers from Orange County, the Parkers from LA, and the Coles from San Francisco all had strong ties with Lucas.
Lucas could only ensure the interests of these families if he continued to control both states.
If he handed the control of California and Oregon to the Howards, he couldn't be certain what they would do for the sake of profit.
Thus, Lucas wouldn't give them away.
