Everything was orchestrated according to Sansa’s demand which led to the current results yet she had the gals sending a squad of card emperors to slaughter one of the Circle’s branches and hunt its branch leader. Where does she come off pulling something like that? Fortunately, the branch leader had the foreknowledge of evacuating the branch headquarters before escaping to safety. Though the casualty was contained it did not mean he would overlook her offense or Did she think otherwise?

Sansa throwing a fit of rage when she doesn’t get what she wanted was not new. In their decades of partnership, Karl had seen Sansa do a lot worse and get away with it due to the special trait of her organization. He did not care about it until now, as he was on the other side this time.

The loss of a third-rate city branch was not enough to make a dent in his plans or be worth ruining the decade-long alliance between the two organizations. That was why despite his dissatisfaction he tolerated Sansa’s action in the Sky blossom city, looking past it, and acting as if nothing happened. Believing that Sansa would make up for her mistake in some other way.

He was not wrong, Sansa repaid what she owed him in just a week by giving him detailed information on a possible attack on the circle’s new branch, the sun blossom city branch. Yes, Sansa was the indirect reason why the new branch of the circle was facing a threat with a possible semi-demigod realm involved, but that was the cost of doing business. After all, an enemy of a friend would end up as their enemy anyway.

Not to mention the information about the attack given by Sansa was too detailed, it contained every little detail from what, why, when, and how. If it was someone else giving him this information with this amount of details then he would think of the possibility of the source of the information being compromised but with Sansa, he did not think so, because he knew her ability was a lot more capable than that.

​ In the decades of alliance between them, Sansa had used her ability to eliminate numerous threats to the Circle, some of which even the Circle did not know of. If Sansa was able to get the information then she could also turn the source of her information into assassins to get rid of the aggregators without them knowing what hit them. This way Sansa was very efficient in getting rid of threats even before they became one. Such godly service could only be provided by Sansa’s organization.

Therefore the alliance with her organization was paramount and it made sense to swallow small dissatisfaction for the bigger picture. If not for Sansa’s help the circle would require another century, trillions of resources, and a lot more sacrifices to reach the heights it had reached today. His alliance with sansa was very rewarding so it only made sense to go along with some of her quirks.

That was what kept the alliance going until Mike, the branch leader of the Sun blossom city branch of the Circle reported the unusual betrayal of the In-house disciple of the Yin-yang harmony. Like Mike, Karl to though the possibility of Ji Feng going rogue or the involvement of the southern royal family or the Yin-yang harmony sect acting in its self-interest. But none of them made sense, Why would Ji Feng go rogue? How could the southern royal family influence Ji Feng, forgetting the bad blood between the yin-yang harmony sect? Why would the yin-yang harmony sect risk its highest revenue-generating business?

Out of all these, only the possibility of the southern royal family influencing Ji Feng into betrayal to discredit the Yin-yang harmony sect was most likely but there was a flaw in the details. How did Ji Feng counter Mike’s origin card? Since Ji Feng was going to stay in the branch headquarters to maintain the Yin-yang harmony sect’s desolate punisher array, he was put through a rigorous screening process. So for a fact they knew that Ji Feng did not have anything cards that would counter Mike’s origin card yet, he was able to not only free himself from Mike’s card but also look past its deception. This could only mean that Ji Feng was prepared in advance to face Mike’s origin card.

Forgetting how Ji Feng got the information on Mike’s origin card for a moment, As a mere disciple of the Yin-yang harmony sect how was Ji Feng able to come up with the cards that could counter the ability of Mike’s origin card? These two questions were worth considering. Though they were not able to answer them, these questions greatly reduced the suspension pointing toward the Southern royal family influencing Ji Feng into betrayal to discredit the Yin-yang harmony sect. Though the Southern royal family was strong enough to stand as one of the top 5 powers of the world, it was only in the sense of raw power, but when it came to its information network, it was not that remarkable. The circle has been plundering the resources of the southern region right under the noses of the southern royal family for decades and never once did they even bother to know what an organization that was established in the central region doing back in the third-rate city of the southern region. It ate up the reason they fed and yes the cross-check came as clean there was no doubt there but the southern royal family never bothered to dig around it.

So it was hard to believe that the Southern royal family that relied on brute strength had the brawns to pull off something liking influencing Ji Feng into betrayal to discredit the Yin-yang harmony sect while destroying one of the circle’s branches. This was unlike the unparalleled bloodline famous in the fables for their fists.

But this begged the question, who in the world was able to pull off something like this without gathering any suspicion and stood to gain the most…
