With that mentality, the family needed restructuring too, and James knew it.
Ferucci was out, Bella was out, and the two remaining were him and Hector, which meant the family was too weak. There are only two people that need to die and that is it, the family would crumble and even though Ferucci and Bella didn't really like to be leaders, they did their part in the family. They had people and knew how to use them, but now that they were not here, James needed new members who could stand beside them proudly, people who have the talent to lead others and work together.
The new era was here with a new family, but the question was, who would he choose to be the new leader in the family?
It was his family, but he knew literally nobody, only some guards like Mike, and that's it, nobody else he could really trust… or maybe he had, and that's when the idea came up in him. It was not the best, it had many flaws, but he needed to trust his instinct, he needed to trust him.
