Ye Wanwan spoke with precision, her face filled with anger as if she wanted to tear the main lineage into pieces.
“Oh, such a thing actually happened?” Yi Lingjun said thoughtfully.
“Yes, yes, I didn’t expect the main lineage to be like this… We suffered huge losses, and I thought about asking the Arbitration Council to help me seek justice!” Ye Wanjun nodded repeatedly. “The contract between the Fearless Alliance and the main lineage is an exclusive contract of the Arbitration Council. What the main lineage did is not just a breach of trust but also a sign of disrespect towards the Arbitration Council. If the main lineage doesn’t respect the Arbitration Council, they also don’t respect you, Mr. Yi. I don’t know what you think, but if it were me, I couldn’t tolerate it.” Ye Wanjun shook her head with disapproval.
“Well, according to what you’ve said, the main lineage has indeed acted boldly and recklessly, openly challenging the authority of the Arbitration Council,” Yi Lingjun said.
Hearing this, Ye Wanjun’s eyes sparkled, and she nodded vigorously. “Exactly! They are too audacious, lawless! They must be severely punished to set an example and deter others!”
“Indeed.” Yi Lingjun smiled faintly. “So, what do you think would be an appropriate way for the Arbitration Council to handle this matter, Miss Nie?”
“Well, it’s up to you, Mr. Yi, to make the final decision. I wouldn’t dare to say too much… My suggestion is to have the main lineage compensate our Fearless Alliance for ten times the losses. As long as the main lineage is willing to compensate in this way, we, the Fearless Alliance, are willing to let bygones be bygones,” Ye Wanjun said with a smile.
“Is that so?” Yi Lingjun looked at Ye Wanjun. “Miss Nie, words alone are not enough. Do you have any evidence to prove your claims? After all, the Arbitration Council cannot solely rely on your testimony.”
“Yes, of course I do!” Within moments, Ye Wanjun took out the original contract agreement she carried with her and handed it to Yi Lingjun. “Mr. Yi, take a look. This is the contract I signed with the Fearless Alliance, and it clearly states our agreement, with signatures and seals!” Ye Wanjun pointed to the two stamped marks on the document.
Yi Lingjun picked up the contract and examined it for a moment before nodding. “Well done, this is indeed the original contract sent by the Arbitration Council to all the states.”
“Then, Mr. Yi, what I just said…” Ye Wanjun’s face was filled with a smile.
“What did you say?” Yi Lingjun looked puzzled.
“I mean, about having the main lineage compensate the Fearless Alliance for six times the losses. How could you forget so quickly?” Ye Wanjun said.
“No, no,” Yi Lingjun shook his head.
Hearing Yi Lingjun’s response, Ye Wanjun furrowed her brows slightly. “Is it too much? Well, I thought it was a bit of a highball offer. How about… giving you face, Mr. Yi, we’ll settle for six times.”
“That won’t do either,” Yi Lingjun said.
Ye Wanjun stared at Yi Lingjun, her eyes narrowing slightly. “Hehe… Mr. Yi, you see, I came to Tian Shui City in a hurry this time and didn’t bring you any gifts. How about this: if the main lineage compensates me six times the losses, Mr. Yi, you can take a 30% cut…”
“Very well, you’re quite clever,” Yi Lingjun nodded.
Ye Wanjun sneered inwardly, thinking that the Arbitration Council’s chairman wasn’t as high-minded as she had imagined.
“Although I’m tempted, unfortunately, you lack evidence, Miss,” Yi Lingjun sighed.
