2204 You have to provide funds and forces
In the afternoon of the fourth day, the elderly man from the Direct Line visited the Fearless Alliance again.
Ye Wanwan received the elderly man in the conference room.
“Heh… President Bai, I remember we previously signed a war treaty, right?” the elderly man asked.
When Ye Wanwan heard that, the corners of her lips turned up and she nodded. “Of course I haven’t forgotten. The Direct Line honors promises, and I naturally wouldn’t go back on my word either.”
“Mn, then this is a little strange. The war treaty clearly states that the Fearless Alliance needs to announce it has established an alliance with the Direct Line within three days of signing the treaty. It has been four days now, but the Fearless Alliance is still immobile. Don’t you think this is a little improper, President Bai?” the elderly man asked.
“What are you saying, sir? Don’t you know that the Fearless Alliance has declared war on a group?” Ye Wanwan retorted with a faint smile.
“Oh… Are you referring to that admirer of the Rose of Death, President Bai…? The group that’s also called the Rose of Death…?” the elderly man said pensively.
“That’s right.” Ye Wanwan nodded hastily.
“President Bai, based on my knowledge, that Rose of Death was founded recently and can’t compare to the Fearless Alliance in both finances or manpower. Moreover, what does the Fearless Alliance going to battle with the Rose of Death have anything to do with announcing your alliance treaty with the Direct Line?”
“Elderly sir, that’s not right. First of all, you’re overly underestimating the Rose of Death. Although they’re still a young group, they’re swimming in money and had a large number of experts join in a short amount of time, so their scope isn’t inferior to the Fearless Alliance at all. Also… you said it yourself, elderly sir—the Fearless Alliance signed an alliance treaty with the Direct Line, and it’s written in black and white in this treaty that this is a mutual alliance… If the Direct Line engages in a war, the Fearless Alliance will unconditionally support you without s.h.i.+rking. We’ll provide money if we have money, and provide people if we have people… Similarly, if our Fearless Alliance goes to war, the Direct Line also has to unconditionally support us…” Ye Wanwan smiled faintly.
The elderly man became contemplative after hearing that. His fingers lightly tapped the surface of the table as he looked at Ye Wanwan. “So… what are you saying, President Bai?”
“Not much… Sure, the Fearless Alliance will immediately announce it has reached an alliance agreement with the Direct Line.”
Ye Wanwan then called First Elder into the conference room.
“President.”
First Elder stopped nearby and looked at Ye Wanwan.
“First Elder, immediately go and announce that the Fearless Alliance will unconditionally support the Direct Line from today onward…” Ye Wanwan said.
“Alright, President, this subordinate understands.” First Elder nodded before promptly turning to the elderly man from the Direct Line. “Then… since it’s like that, we’ll request the Direct Line to support us with money and manpower. Our war with the Rose of Death is about to begin.”
The elderly man wrinkled his brows. Was President Fearless acting slick with him?
Right now, the Direct Line was preparing intensely for its war with the Collateral Branch. How could they have extra finances and manpower to help the Fearless Alliance fight against another faction?
Moreover, back then, the Direct Line made the Fearless Alliance sign a war alliance treaty so that the Fearless Alliance would support their Direct Line. How come the Fearless Alliance was making the Direct Line provide money and strength to help them go to war instead?! What cosmic joke was this?
