Mo Fan had learned to pay attention to the important news across the world. He had heard about the plan to establish the Andes Federal Union.
A few days after they arrived at the Aorus Sacred Institute, a few countries, including Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, and Chile, decided to form a federal union in South America to fend off the sea monsters of the Pacific Ocean together. It was named after the Andes Mountains.
The Andes Federal Union!
Many countries along the shore were taking appropriate measures to prepare themselves. China had decided to establish headquarters cities, like Feiniao Headquarters City, Magic City (Shanghai) Headquarters City, and Beast Capital (Guangzhou) Headquarters City. The people of the cities and towns along the shoreline had been moved to the headquarters cities, making it easier for the government to defend the people while fending off the sea monsters.
Countries like Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, and Chile in South America were also targets of the Calamity of Sea Monsters. They could not afford to build a dam tens of thousands of kilometers long. Even the most resourceful country would struggle to build a dam that long!
These countries had no choice but to form a federal union to share their resources and information on the sea monsters, helping one another to overcome the calamity together.
“The establishment of the federal union will strengthen the defense along the coastline, but it also means the efforts our seniors have put in over the past few dozen years are in vain. The orphanages scattered across different regions will be abandoned, but the new federal union doesn’t want to allocate a place for the orphans. Around fifty-four hundred orphans will be homeless… The Alps Institute is in Europe, and the laws of Europe and Switzerland do not allow us to take these orphans to the Alps Institute. Besides, we don’t even have the resources to shelter so many orphans,” Brianca said.
More children would be left homeless as the invasion of sea monsters continued. These children did not have proper identities. Meanwhile, the countries in the Americas were having political instabilities. They did not have a proper organization to handle the issue regarding the orphans victimized by the war.

The Alps Institute used to have many orphanages to shelter these children, but they would be abandoned when the federal union was established as they were mostly located in dangerous areas. The orphans would have nowhere to go!
Brianca was deeply troubled by this.
“So the reason you came to the Aorus Sacred Institute is to help those children?” Mo Fan asked.
“Mm, the Aorus Sacred Institute has great influence. I was hoping they could discuss the issue with the leaders of the federal union and allocate a place in the safe zone for the Alps Institute so we could shelter the orphans,” Brianca said.
“But the Aorus Sacred Institute didn’t agree with you?” Mo Fan asked.
“I wouldn’t feel so troubled if they had,” Brianca confirmed helplessly.
“Why didn’t they agree with you?” Mo Fan wondered.
“They claim they won’t interfere with other countries’ politics,” Brianca sighed.
“How is that even politics?”
“All I can do is help my students win in the open tournament and use my influence to get the local governments’ attention. What happens next is beyond my control,” Brianca shook her head.
Mo Fan was lost for words.
It was not like he could blame the countries for losing their humanity. Even adults were struggling to find themselves shelter during the invasion of sea monsters. No one would bother caring about orphans who were not going to contribute to the war.
