“Will there definitely be a battle between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch?” Ye Wanwan asked Yi Shuihan.

“That’s unrelated to me,” Yi Shuihan aloofly replied. “However, based on the current situation, a battle is unavoidable.”

Ye Wanwan sighed helplessly. It appeared the Independent State was about to bid peace farewell.

After Yi Shuihan left, Big Dipper opened the door and said, “Sis Feng, that old geezer is here again…”

“Which old geezer?” Ye Wanwan glanced at him.

“That old geezer from the Direct Line, the one who visited this morning,” Big Dipper explained.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Ye Wanwan nodded.

Ye Wanwan was very intrigued by the Direct Line’s sudden visit too. Just what was the Direct Line’s goal?

“Mommy, I also want to go,” Tangtang spoke up.

“Be good, Tangtang. Mommy is going to take care of business. Play together with Great White and Little Black. Mommy will be back soon.” Ye Wanwan smiled.

“Okay.” Tangtang was compliant and nodded.

A moment later, Ye Wanwan cleaned up a little and followed Big Dipper to the conference room.

Inside the conference room, an elderly man was dressed in a black shirt and black pants, looking very proper. He sat on one side with a cane in hand.

“This is the President of the Fearless Alliance, Bai Feng,” Big Dipper made introductions.

The elderly man nodded and scrutinized Ye Wanwan before using his cane to stand up. He greeted Ye Wanwan with a smile: “President Bai, it’s an honor to meet you at last.”

“No need for the formalities, elderly sir. May I ask what urgent matter you had for visiting our Fearless Alliance?” Ye Wanwan sat down and looked at the elderly man from the Direct Line, cutting straight to the point.

The elderly man smiled faintly. “President Bai is very straightforward, great. Then I won’t beat around the bush either. I came here today to ask President Bai to join the Direct Line’s camp.”

Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows at once.

She never anticipated the objective of this elderly man’s trip would be to rope her to their side.

However, on the other hand, Ye Wanwan understood.

There would definitely be a great battle between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch, and there were many factions in the Independent State. Whether it was the Collateral Branch or the Direct Line, they probably wished to pull these neutral factions in the Independent State to their side. This way, they would have a greater chance when the battle came.

Upon seeing Ye Wanwan’s silence, the elderly man continued with a smile: “In reality, President Bai should know that our Direct Line is the legitimate heir of the Independent State. Moreover, the Direct Line is stronger in strength. Of the Twelve Independent States, our state has become the bottom-most state. Back then, was our state ever this pitiful? What do you think, President Bai?”

“The Twelve Independent States…”

Ye Wanwan looked pensive.

This piece of memory was indeed a part of the memories that Ye Wanwan recalled after the Scarlet Flames headmaster’s hypnosis sessions. It was her grandpa who told her about this too.

In truth, the Independent State was actually the “Independent States” and was composed of 12 enormous islands. The Independent State they were currently in was merely one of the 12 islands, and it wasn’t until these 12 islands combined together that the true Independent States were formed.

However, no Independent States had any mutual interactions, so not many people knew about this.

“President Bai, as long as the Fearless Alliance is willing to support our Direct Line, when the Direct Line gains control in the future, we can guarantee that the Fearless Alliance will definitely become better than you are now. What do you think?” the elderly man from Direct Line proposed amiably.
