2206 What trick are they playing
The elderly man from Direct Line nodded at Ye Wanwan and chuckled. “President Bai, the Fearless Alliance is at least a top faction in the Independent State, am I correct?”
Ye Wanwan replied, “Of course. Sir, if you ask about the Fearless Alliance or mentioned Bai Feng’s name, children would start crying.”
“Exactly. The Fearless Alliance and President Bai have a thunderous reputation in the Independent State. There isn’t anyone in the Independent State who doesn’t know about you. What is the Rose of Death in comparison? Not only are they a knockoff group, but they also haven’t been around for that long. In a war between the Fearless Alliance and the Rose of Death, everyone knows the Rose of Death is seeking their own deaths and trying to hit a rock with an egg. If the Direct Line rashly interferes at this time and provides money and support… so what if it’s a crushing victory? At that time, everyone in the Independent State would gossip and say that not only did the Fearless Alliance bully a newly-founded knockoff group, but they also made the Direct Line join… It wouldn’t be good if that got around, right?”
Ye Wanwan pursed her mouth. “So what…? I don’t care.”
The elderly man from Direct Line: “…”
“Actually, President, this subordinate thinks the Direct Line is right. If the Direct Line interferes, we’d humiliate ourselves even if we won,” First Elder interjected.
“Oh… It’s really humiliating?” Ye Wanwan repeated.
“President, we’re the strong bullying the weak to begin with. If we make the Direct Line join too…” First Elder looked a little “embarrassed.”
“That’s right, that’s right.” The elderly man from Direct Line smiled faintly. “What First Elder is saying is what I’m trying to express. It’s not worth it.”
Ye Wanwan rubbed her chin and mulled over this for a long time before finally nodding. “Fine… It’s really not worth it if it’s as you both say. It’s rather humiliating… Though I don’t care whether it’s humiliating or not. However, while I don’t care about shame, the Direct Line has to worry about shame, right? Then we’ll hold off on that, and we’ll eradicate the Rose of Death ourselves.”
“Haha… Even if the Fearless Alliance attacks on your own, the Rose of Death will definitely be eradicated within three days,” the elderly man from Direct Line said.
“I’ll destroy them in two days at most,” Ye Wanwan refuted in good humor.
“Alright, then I wish you great success, President Bai, and I won’t disturb you anymore.”
After saying that, the elderly man stood up and left.
Outside the Fearless Alliance, the middle-aged man who came with the elderly man from the Direct Line frowned and said, “Bai Feng is clearly up to something. She’s intentionally delaying things.”
The elderly man snorted and aloofly said, “If she wants to delay things, let her delay. I’d like to see what kind of tricks she can play. The alliance treaty is directly managed by the Arbitration Council, so it’s useless to fight it regardless of how slick she is.”
…
At the same time, the war between the Fearless Alliance and the Rose of Death had erupted.
The first battle took place in the northern region, and Big Dipper was in charge.
However, the battle didn’t last two hours before the advancing troops led by Big Dipper fell like a landslide and surrendered without much resistance.
One day later, the main battle between the Fearless Alliance and the Rose of Death also started. The Fearless Alliance’s side was led by Ye Wanwan personally while the Rose of Death’s side was led by a middle-aged man named Liao Chen.
The Fearless Alliance and the Rose of Death had just engaged when the Fearless Alliance’s main force crumbled and was forced to retreat.
This situation stupefied every faction in the Independent State.
Madam and Patriarch Nie originally intended to dispatch some fighting forces from the Nie family to assist the Fearless Alliance but were solemnly rejected by Ye Wanwan.
