The truth was that Leonel hadn't tried to lean on this advantage because he truly felt that it wouldn't matter much to begin with. His ties with the Luxnix and Morales families were… loose to say the least. Not only that, but Leonel was a bit stubborn about it all at the same time.
He wanted to use his Luxnix and Morales blood for the sake of taking over said families. But, as far as relying on them? He never really had any intention of doing so.
As far as he saw things, he would be the one in position to elevate them, not the other way around. And, he also wasn't fond of the idea of having to rely on others as well. This wasn't just a matter of pride, it was also a matter of practicality.
