People are going to want to point out that Gaston has already failed at this. 

However what that actually means is that he has the advantage. 

In that he knows the players and he knows the game. 

He has a second shot at this and even more motivation, not to fail. 

This along with inherently being known to and largely loved by the locals means Gaston starts several steps ahead of Xanatos. 

Who has to start from the beginning. Learn the who's, when's, where's, why's, and how's. Then form a plan and do all of that before Gaston can pull off a slightly modified version of his original plan. 

[RakaiThwei]

Xanatos has this. Gaston has tried this before and it was all for his own personal gain but Belle didn't buy it. And while someone has pointed out that he knows the game and can do better, we need to keep in mind that Xanatos had been doing this for a very long time, as he's manipulated the Gargoyles and even the public's perception of himself on a much wider scale than Gaston, possibly even the world's perception.

I can see Xanatos manipulating Belle, taking advantage of the fact that Besst held her captive and bringing it to light that Beast has toxic traits that might be considered abusive.

Yeah... Xanatos is taking this.

[Peypeypeypey]

Gaston already failed here definitely. David is far smarter and better at manipulation, not to mention has much greater resources

[RiotGear]

Going to remind folks once again, the fact that Gaston failed once at this just gives him more experience, knowledge, and motivation.

Think about anything you've ever tried to do. It tends to get easier the more you do it and the more you learn about it. 

Gaston can see where he failed the first time, and let's be clear he almost succeeded ( with out the advantage of hindsight ), and tweak the small things that went wrong.

[C.T.]

Yeah, Xanatos has this 

[DSkillz]

Xanatos doesn't have two tropes named after him for nothing. 

[leroypowell3]

Nice try with Gaston but no. He's not going to outdo Xanatos.
