Perfect Secret Love

Chapter 2200: On the verge of breaking out

After hanging up the video call, Ye Wanwan couldn't shake off her feeling of unease.

Those leaders they rescued from the remote island announced their unconditional support for the

Collateral Branch immediately.

After that, the Direct Line acted and promptly dispatched a lot of assassins after those leaders.

In a short amount of time, a dozen or so leaders were assassinated. If it weren't for Asura having the

foresight to send people to protect those leaders immediately and warn them, the consequences

would've been inconceivable.

It wasn't only the Direct Line. The Collateral Branch also acted identically to the Direct Line and

dispatched a lot of assassins from the ancient clans, secretly assassinating those leaders who had

announced their support for the Direct Line.

However, what no one anticipated were the sudden actions of Piece of Sh*t, Yi Shuihan. Nearly all of

those well-trained assassins sent by the ancient clans died in the hands of Yi Shuihan...

Right now, the entire Independent State was attempting to stay out of it, and many factions were still

observing, including the Fearless Alliance and the two other core factions of Prison. Meanwhile, Asura

had publicized their support for the Collateral Branch long ago and became one of the Collateral

Branch's biggest helpers.

Suddenly, the relationships in the Independent State turned tangled and complicated and hard to

describe. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Major factions belonged to different camps, and small-scaled battles would erupt nearly every day.

As for the four great clans, they fell to the observer side.

The Direct Line and the Collateral Branch sent someone to visit and lobby the four great clans nearly

every day but never received a definite response.

Nonetheless, Ye Wanwan was incredibly aware that it was absolutely impossible for powers at the level

of the four great clans to rest easy, maintain neutrality and stay out of the conflict.

The time merely hadn't come yet. Once the time was ripe, the four great clans had to make a decision.

This battle involved the entire Independent State. Not a single power could remain on the sidelines...

Even if they were unwilling to join the war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch, they had

no choice.

...

Late at night, in the Fearless Alliance:

Ye Wanwan's thoughts raced as she mulled over what road she should take in the future.

Right now, her parents were still in the hands of the Direct Line. If she rashly supported the Collateral

Branch and provoked the Direct Line, it would be idiotic.

Ye Wanwan merely wanted to avenge her brother, Nameless Nie, and rescue her parents from the

hands of the Direct Line. She truly was uninterested in the overarching war between the Collateral

Branch and the Direct Line.

Governing the Independent State and such...? It had nothing to do with her.

"Big Dipper!"

Ye Wanwan suddenly called outside the door.

"Sis Feng, you were looking for me?"

Big Dipper entered the room.

"Call some people. We're going to visit the Direct Line," Ye Wanwan instructed.

"Huh?"

Big Dipper was dumbfounded. "No way right... Sis Feng? We're going to the Direct Line... at this critical

time?!"

"Nonsense, what's wrong with going to the Direct Line?" Ye Wanwan asked.

"Eh... If we visit the Direct Line, isn't it the same as supporting the Direct Line?" Big Dipper scratched

his head.

"Enough rubbish. Hurry and make preparations," Ye Wanwan ordered impatiently.

Soon, several elders of the Fearless Alliance (including First Elder), Big Dipper, Seven Star, and top

higher-ups like Wen Ziran all departed and headed toward the perimeters of the Fearless Alliance's

territory.

...

At a Direct Line branch:

"Heh, your visit this late at night is truly surprising, President Bai," an elderly man from the Direct Line

greeted with a smile as he hastily walked outside to receive them.

Ye Wanwan wasn't unfamiliar with this elderly man. He was the one who had visited the Fearless

Alliance these past few days.

"I won't waste time with you. My objective for coming here today is very simple: the Fearless Alliance

and the Nie family will support the Direct Line, but you must release my parents first." Ye Wanwan got

straight to the point.
