Chapter 635: Slot
Hearing Li Pin's response, Yuan Xinghai sneered inwardly. Stubborn and ignorant.The Aristocratic Alliance has already shown such sincerity, even overlooking the offense of his challenge. Yet, he still refuses to appreciate it...
He shook his head discreetly. Just as the Zi Clan's patriarch had said, Li Pin might be strong, but his personality is a double-edged sword. Bringing him into the Aristocratic Alliance without caution could backfire. It's better to let him fight Ai Sa first. Once he's battered and bloodied, he'll realize his limits and come to us willingly.
That is, if he survives.
As Yuan Xinghai pondered, the envoys of various civilizations in the Candlelight Alliance erupted into a commotion.
"My lord, please reconsider! You mustn't act recklessly!"
"If we go to war with the Aristocratic Alliance, our own people will suffer while our enemies rejoice!"
"The Aristocratic Alliance is a colossal force. They could crush the Candle Light Alliance with relative ease. Defying such power is nothing short of courting death!"
Many tried to dissuade Li Pin, and even Yuan Zhenchuan and Xiang Tianxing looked toward him. Though they had absolute confidence in him, declaring war on the Aristocratic Alliance right after provoking Ai Sa seemed far too risky.
At this rate, he was just short of making enemies of everyone.
"Then let's vote," said Li Pin, his tone as calm as ever. "Anyone who disagrees or abstains is fundamentally misaligned with the Candlelight Alliance's ideals. I will allow you to leave. That way, our actions will have nothing to do with you."
He glanced at the crowd. "You could even use the Candle Light Alliance as a stepping stone to gain the Aristocratic Alliance's favor and secure a place among them."
His words exposed the plans many had in mind. The room buzzed with murmurs.
