"As I said. It is an inevitable matter. Even though there is a meeting of the Ten Island Lord Kings, in the end, we cannot avoid joining the Sect’s side in the war anyway," Teng Jingbao, the Ten Thousand Whirlpools Island Lord King, said in the middle of the meeting hall in the castle. He was surrounded by dozens of high-level members of the Teng Family.
"Father, can’t we use this opportunity to end our relationship with the sect? Since they are already going into a war against the Institution, they will have no free time to mind us,” said Teng Yongyao, the eldest son of Teng Jingbao.
"Come on... that’s stupid. That method can only be used during the war!! If the Sect with the superior power to that of the Institution wins the war, they will come to us next!!” Said Teng Yuan.
