“Oh… Have you thought it through, Lady White Alliance?”
Upon hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, the main branch elder’s expression showed a hint of satisfaction.
“Yes,” Ye Wanwan nodded.
“Very well, if that’s the case, Lady White Alliance’s parents will naturally be our honored guests, and the main branch will release them immediately,” the main branch elder nodded.
Before Ye Wanwan could continue speaking, the elder of the main branch added, “However… it’s like this, since both the Fearless Alliance and the Nie family support the main branch, let’s draw up a contract.”
As he spoke, the main branch elder signaled to his subordinate.
Immediately, the subordinate brought a battle contract.
Upon reading the contract, Ye Wanwan was dumbfounded.
These main branch members were quite cunning.
This type of battle contract was managed by the Arbitration Council of the Twelve Independent States.
The Arbitration Council represented the largest neutral force in the Twelve Independent States, and the majority of the rules in the Independent States were established by the Arbitration Council. No one dared to defy the will of the Arbitration Council.
Even the main branch and the side branches didn’t have the guts…
Now, this contract was being directly managed by the Arbitration Council. If they didn’t comply…
“What’s wrong? Elder doesn’t trust me? I’m the Alliance Master of the Fearless Alliance and the head of the Nie family. Where has the trust between people gone? Is our trust not worth more than a piece of paper?” Ye Wanwan stared at the main branch elder and sighed.
“Hehe…”
Upon hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, the main branch elder smiled faintly, gazing at her and said, “Lady White Alliance… if this were any other force saying such words, I might believe it… But precisely because Lady White Alliance is the Alliance Master of the Fearless Alliance, we have to be prudent. Let’s just sign this battle contract.”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
“What’s wrong with the Fearless Alliance? Why don’t you go and inquire about it? The Fearless Alliance, especially its Alliance Master, has always been known for their trustworthiness. We don’t need to say more about it. But… let’s sign it.” The main branch elder smiled.
Ye Wanwan: “…You shameless…”
In the end, with no other choice, Ye Wanwan could only pick up the pen and sign her name, pressing her fingerprint.
“Alright.”
Ye Wanwan pushed the contract over.
After examining it for a moment, the main branch elder nodded at Ye Wanwan and smiled, “It’s done. Welcome the Fearless Alliance and the Nie family to join our main branch family.”
“My parents?” Ye Wanwan asked.
“Lady White Alliance, rest assured, your parents and your mother are in another branch. They will return to the Nie family tomorrow morning,” the main branch elder replied.
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan nodded, “Alright, I’ll trust you this once.”
After saying this, Ye Wanwan and the members of the Fearless Alliance stood up and left.
…
“Oh my god, Sister Maple, did we really join the main branch? Isn’t this too hasty?”
On the way back, Beidou asked Ye Wanwan.
“Join? Nonsense.”
Ye Wanwan snorted with annoyance, feeling quite upset.
Originally, the plan was to deceive the main branch first and get them to release her parents. Nothing was more important than their safety!
However, who would have thought that the main branch wouldn’t be so easily fooled? They directly presented a battle contract managed by the Arbitration Council, which, if not adhered to, would involve the intervention of the Arbitration Council!
