Road Paved With Peril

As opposed to the Miao family's happiness, the elegant middle-aged man in Whale Ocean Commerce was in the middle of a chess game with a gentle-looking man.

Both men had their brows furrowed.

The gentle-looking man had a pair of jug ears and looked rather comical.

However, no one would dare to mock the jug-eared man because he was the leader of Ten Thousand Flags, Di Wantian.

To the factions not part of a governing body, Di Wantian was truly like the sky.

Whale Ocean Commerce had the most difficult role amongst all the factions.

Their role was overseas trading, which required Island Whales.

At least 10 mid-ranked Creation Masters needed to work tirelessly for two to three years in order to nurture one Island Whale.

This was not an easy burden to bear for most top factions.

There were very few factions that would choose to nurture Island Whales to increase their faction's power.
