Chapter 1996 - Federation (1) (2/2)

”Declare hostilities?” Amphorae wasn't a wordsmith like her husband, nor was she as quippy as Clara or Ri, but she wasn't a fool either. Though she preferred to battle with her fists, King Star's words were far too shameless. ”We've only just arrived to hear statements about your fledgling Federation's plans on dividing up territory that doesn't belong to you. You say that your criteria is strength of Clan, especially that of its youths… Are you suggesting that the Sacharro Clan lacks talented youths and thus doesn't deserve to be within your parliament?”

Though King Star's face didn't show it, he felt as though he had been pushed between a rock and a hard place.

Thinking of the arrogance the Sacharro Clan had displayed, he thought they wouldn't even appear today. Then, by the time they realized the growing strength of their Federation, it would be too late to retaliate. But, who would have known that Dyon would send his wives here.

'Hold on a moment… Just two years ago, this red-haired little girl was in Sacharro Clan territory. How did she make it here so fast? Did someone let her in…? Unless?'

King Star's gaze once more fell on Luna, his evaluation of her raising several fold.

'Don't tell me the Sacharro Clan have more than one Higher Existence…'

In the end, King Star sighed and began to speak.

”You misunderstand. No… actually, you understand perfectly well. The Federation seeks to band the tower quadrants together toward a common goal. Should your Sacharro Clan stand in the way of that, we – well, at least my Star Clan – would be forced to oppose you. Towards such ends… I could only see the Sacharro Clan as selfish.”

”I do not remember saying we would not cooperate. In fact, the Sacharro Clan is also willing to provide resources to the budding youths of the tower quadrants. I believe we have the necessary power to hold a seat, no?”

King Star was stunned once more. They actually cared to join? But… Did he dare to accept them?

Thinking of Dyon potential, he shivered. When last seen, as a Middle Celestial, he was already capable of rebuffing lower dao experts. Of course, he used several treasures, but it was a fact, nonetheless.

The problem was… Even if King Star wanted to say no now, could he?
