Listening to Wyatt, Asong was enlightened and nodded her head heavily strongly agreeing with Wyatt's speculation. After a thought, she immediately added her two bits supporting Wyatt's speculation, "Stuck between being looted by the world leaders or the central government and being small partners with the Southern Royal family, it would not be a surprise that the Freedom Fighters decided to agree to whatever the deal Anna's mother proposed like a drowning man."
"It is a possibility," Wyatt nodded unable to think of another reason more probable than this to explain Freedom Fighter's illogical choice.
"You believe she is joining hands with other royal families and organizations to coerce me to give up my shares and patents of my inventions?" Wyatt asked Asong, he did not see that happening but if Anna's mother were able to rally the other world leaders under a uniter banner there were many ways for her to force him into submission other than using violence. However, her doing that would be like inviting wolves, hyenas, foxes, and tigers into her house. She would stand to lose more than gain.
Unless Anna's mother planned to use them all as bluff just like she did in the freedom fighters' case. Right now the Southern royal family was so in charge of the production and supply of Silver Milk powder that she would not risk that for small benefits. But she could bluff and force Wyatt into giving up a small portion of his share of the profits from the production and supply of Silver Milk powder such that the Southern royal family would not join hands with other world leaders to coerce him to give up his shares.
"You are smart you will figure it out eventually," Asong said proceeding to the grill station to help Laura. After all, she was supposed to be in charge of grilling but after Wyatt's arrival, the responsibility unknowingly fell on Laura.
"You are awfully quiet," Agatha poked at Laura seeing that she did not speak up to defend the Southern Royal family after hearing the discussion between Wyatt and Asong.
"I understood what Master Wyatt said. Regardless of their relationship, the Southern Royal family and Master Wyatt are looking out for their interests. Just like in huge families, we fight for limited resources among ourselves but when facing the outside threat we could not be more united. And not to mention it is not my place to give my opinions," Laura responded understanding that politics was not as straight as her sword.
"Ain't that too enlightened for a fanatic subject," Agatha taunted Laura, to which Laura retorted saying, "At least I accept my mistakes and learn from them."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Agatha was taken aback, she did not expect Laura to fight back.
