Chapter 935: 292. Behind the Scenes_3

“Heh, even more convincing evidence.”

He straightened up, looking toward the Rock Bone Enforcer beside him:

“With an Enforcer from Larolon Rockbone as witness, I represent the Pangula Family and issue a challenge to your Deep Sea Branch to compare our exploration abilities.”

The Rock Bone Enforcer, expressionless, his gray-white rock face betraying no emotion.

He nodded to Dietrich, Selena, and Lonco as a sign of acceptance to witness Dietrich’s challenge.

“The Pangula Family owns a total of 1,322 isles in the Suman Archipelago, encompassing large, medium, and small isles of various sizes.”

Dietrich tapped the table with his finger and said:

“I will randomly select 10 small isles, 5 medium isles, and 1 large isle from these 1,322. Your Deep Sea Branch must provide the ore distribution maps for these 16 isles within 16 days. I will bring in the exploration reports from within our family to compare with your exploration results.

“If it turns out that the Deep Sea Branch lacks the ability to map out the mineral resources of these 16 isles within the allotted time, or if your exploration results are less precise than those of the Pangula Family, then the Deep Sea Branch must immediately cease its cooperation with Mira Faar and expel Sienna and Mira Faar from the Suman Archipelago.”

Dietrich smirked:

“Since you can explore veins without leaving any trace, surely you have exploration abilities no less than those of Pangula and ‘Larolon Rockbone,’ right? Exploring this modest number of isles in 16 days should be no problem, right? Lonco, Selena.”

Lonco pondered for a few seconds before asking:

“And if you lose, what penalty shall you face?”

Dietrich spread his arms wide:

“Then we would of course hold your Deep Sea Branch’s exploration abilities in high regard. The Pangula Family will no longer interfere with the matters concerning Mira Faar and Sienna.”

Lonco nodded slowly:

“Hmm, not bad, we acce…”

“No, we refuse your challenge,” Selena interrupted her older brother, saying:

“Your challenge means nothing to us, Dietrich. We chose Sienna and Mira Faar as partners because they are stronger than you. The Fagen Lineage has been eliminated—don’t think you can regain control over the Suman Archipelago with such a clumsy provocation and conspiracy.”

Selena cleverly brought Sienna and Mira Faar into the discussion, partially shifting the conflict between herself and Dietrich onto Sienna and Mira Faar.

Lonco was initially taken aback by his sister’s interruption and then by her forceful tone.

But he quickly composed himself, closed his mouth, and handed the right to speak to his sister.

Well…

He was a Combat Wizard, preferring to solve problems with fists and duels.
