“Oh… So President Bai has decided?”
The elderly man’s expression turned joyful.
“That’s right.” Ye Wanwan nodded.
“Great, if that’s really true, then President Bai’s parents are naturally our honored guests. The Direct Line will immediately release them.” The elderly man from Direct Line nodded.
Before Ye Wanwan could say anything, the elderly man continued, “However… since both the Fearless Alliance and the Nie family are supporting the Direct Line, let’s sign a treaty.”
The elderly man sent his subordinate a look.
The subordinate immediately brought a war treaty to them.
When Ye Wanwan read the contents, she was dumbstruck.
The Direct Line… was seriously freaking cunning and calculating.
This type of war treaty was managed by the Twelve Independent States’ Arbitration Council.
The Twelve Independent States’ Arbitration Council represented the largest-scale neutral power in the Twelve Independent States. Nearly all of the rules in the Independent States were crafted by the Arbitration Council, and no one dared to violate the decisions of the Arbitration Council.
Even the Direct Line and Collateral Branch didn’t have the guts…
This treaty… would actually be directly supervised by the Arbitration Council. If either party violated it…
“What? You don’t trust me, elderly sir? I’m the President of the Fearless Alliance and the head of the Nie family, to say the least. What happened to trust between humans? Could it be our trust is less than this piece of paper?” Ye Wanwan said to the elderly man with a sigh.
“Heh…”
The elderly man from Direct Line chuckled and looked at Ye Wanwan. “President Bai… If it was another faction saying this, I would’ve believed it…
“However, it’s precisely because President Bai is the President of the Fearless Alliance that we must honestly carry out what we promised and sign this war treaty.”

Ye Wanwan: “…”
“What about the Fearless Alliance, huh? Shouldn’t you ask around? The Fearless Alliance, especially me, the president, has always sworn by our word,” Ye Wanwan replied.
“Heh… President Bai… Everyone knows about the Fearless Alliance’s reputation, so you don’t need to say anymore. Of course, the Direct Line believes in President Bai’s sincerity, but… let’s sign the treaty,” the elderly man said.
“…” You’re too freaking shameless.
In the end, Ye Wanwan had no choice but to pick up the pen and sign the treaty as well as stamping her handprint on the document.
“Good now?” Ye Wanwan pushed the contract back toward them.
The elderly man examined the treaty for a moment before nodding at Ye Wanwan and smiling. “It’s good. Welcome to the Direct Line’s big family, Fearless Alliance and Nie family.”
“Where’s my dad and mom?” Ye Wanwan asked.
“Don’t worry, President Bai. Your father and mother are at a different branch. They will return to the Nie residence early tomorrow morning,” the elderly man replied.
Ye Wanwan nodded. “Fine, I’ll trust you this one time.”
After saying that, she led the Fearless Alliance group out of the room.
…
“D*mn, Sis Feng, are we really joining the Direct Line? Isn’t this too hasty?”
Big Dipper asked on their return trip.
“Join your a**.”
Ye Wanwan brusquely snapped, her mood sour.
She previously planned to trick the Direct Line and make them release her parents first.
Nothing was more important than her parents’ safety!
Who would’ve thought the Direct Line would be so difficult to trick. They directly pulled out a war treaty that was managed by the Arbitration Council!
After you signed this contract, the Direct Line wouldn’t care whether you fulfilled your end of the bargain or not because at that time, the people from the Arbitration Council would appear personally!
