This ti, it's a port explosion!
Of the ships registered on Luo Island, thirty percent had severe navigation errors, and ten percent had engine explosions, turning into iron coffins drifting at sea.
Ships loaded with supplies and weapons rode the waves with the montum of a crushing force, arriving at... the pirates' den.
Delivering goods right to their doorstep.
The cruise ship originally headed for the Empire, after setting sail for two days, found itself at the Federation. anwhile, a giant Federation Fuel Elent transport freighter, after departing from Tower City, went missing for two days, inexplicably docking at the Sujano Family's most secretive smuggling pier.
More and more chaos unfolded with Ji Jue's spur-of-the-mont ideas.
He was already imrsed in it, completely oblivious to the world around him.
As it turned out, what's worse than 'returning to the primitive age overnight' is 'sporadically returning to the primitive age'... and what's even worse is that amidst such circumstances, other operations are barely functioning.
Even when the enraged Sujano Family spared no cost to deploy Spiritual Shocks across a wide area of Luo Island, destroying and overwhelming a mass of the Spirit of Creation.
Yet after losing three-quarters, the Spirit of Creation evolved once again.
Much like cockroaches developing drug resistance, or mosquitoes becoming cold-resistant, it developed resistance to spiritual shocks and chaotic situations. Simultaneously, it moved faster, hid deeper, and beca more elusive.
All the digitized files and records were silently, gradually being destroyed or erroneous. The numbers shown on screens and on paper began to diverge, and reality beca confused with what was recorded.
Yet, helplessly watching the futile firefighting, helpless rage, and completely powerless.
Amidst screams and wails, the entire managent of Luo Island was driven insane.
It was as if an invisible hand had already placed itself on a vital point, gently weighing, eager to try, making one break out in cold sweat, fearing it might tighten its grip suddenly...
Yet the bad news kept coming.
A terrifying story started to circulate among many fleets, about a rusty, dilapidated ghost ship looming in the fog, silently roaming near Luo Island, beginning its hunt.
It cos without trace, departs without a trail.
In just three or four days, more than sixteen fully loaded cargo ships had completely vanished, and the last radiograms sent were filled with blissful and joyous murmurs.
Now, from top to bottom, everyone on Luo Island began to fear the next sunrise.
Yet also feared the return of nightfall.
Uncertain of what bad news might co the next mont.
Comrce, transport, finance, everything was deteriorating at a rapid pace visible to the naked eye, collapsing, and even all the previous accumulated reputation and assets seed to evaporate like bubbles.
"It's all Chopra, no, it's that Ji's doing, Uncle!"
In the family's old house, a red-eyed young man burst into the office, nearly unable to control his tears: "It's all over, our investnt money over at the Federation has been frozen, Uncle, we can't take this anymore!"
He roared, unable to restrain himself: "Go to war, Uncle, let's unleash all our power and burn that damn Xiang State, and that Ji, all to ashes! I want him and his entire family to..."
Bang!
What ca flying was a luxurious and heavy crystal ashtray.
It hit him straight on the head, making his vision go dark, he fell to the ground, half his face completely numb, the blood flowed down, yet terrified, not daring to speak.
"Elkana, when did family matters beco your call?"
The elderly family head Seno looked at him expressionlessly and questioned: "When did my office beco a place for you to shout and scream?"
"But... but Uncle..."
Elkana whispered chaotically, almost crying tears of blood: "If we keep going like this, our losses..."
"Rules are rules."
Seno glanced at him coldly: "Don't question my decisions. You're just as useless as your father, understand?"
Elkana shivered, not daring to speak further.
These are the rules.
The rules of the Sujano Family.
And so rules are the rules of the Seven Cities.
A person can't enjoy the convenience of rules while not being constrained by them.
Just as Sujano could use rules to restrict Chopra, Chopra could also use rules to bind Sujano.
Blood Vendetta Judgnt is the rule of the Seven Cities, a universally recognized rule of the ga, since they've sat down to play, they must acknowledge it; since the Sujano Family set the rules, the Chopra Family accepted them, both sides must adhere.
No one wants to play gas with soone who doesn't follow the rules.
This is the prerequisite for Chopra to seek alliance with other families, and it's also a necessary stage for the Sujano Family to aspire to the position of Alliance Hierarch, equally, it's the best decision both parties can permit presently.
This is the stalling tactic everyone tacitly agrees on.
Ti, both sides need ti.
Chopra cannot swallow Sujano, and Sujano cannot resolve Chopra in one go; hence, within these seven days, they widely seek aid, strengthen their forces, preparing for a decisive battle!
And during this long wait, it's the interval where everyone tornts each other.
The Sujano Family won't give the Chopra Family an excuse to strike first, and Ji Jue isn't foolish enough to let the Sujano Family catch any concrete evidence or make any mistakes.
