Furthermore, intelligence gathered by some council members revealed that certain organizations and factions also desired such a safe haven to shelter from the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these organizations were much smaller compared to the new races and could not obtain a legal Autonomous Domain recognized by the Supreme Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they could simply enclose land for themselves, just like Lan Qingyou had done previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Supreme Council's reach could not currently extend across the entire continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were the races claiming territory, but those organizations were doing the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were small and could only claim a tiny patch of land, while the larger ones could even occupy entire regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without exception, they all hoped the Witches could help construct an area where they could move freely, even amidst Mana Turbulence and Mana Tides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the prices offered by these \"illegal organizations\" would only be higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that they currently lacked the channels to contact the Witches; otherwise, the Witches would likely have bolted long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well then, did this count as a loophole in the contract?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even though the Witches had left their designated work sites for other places, they were doing so to earn more money to pay off their debts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that perspective, they had not technically breached their contracts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without a breach of contract, naturally, there could be no talk of punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do we do then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone asked in the Supreme Council's communication channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they increase the price, then we match it. That is the only way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Increase the price! Then what about our monthly finances? How much more will we lose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does it matter? The technology to mint money is in our hands anyway. If we incur losses, we can simply print more money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True, the currency has not reached saturation yet. Minting a few more gold coins won't hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It might not hurt you, but have you considered that doing this will only allow the Witches to break free from our control much faster? No, not just the Witches—the other new races as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, there is another way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring all the Clan Heads of the major races into the Supreme Council. That way, everyone becomes a community with shared interests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you joking? If we do that, how will the order of the entire Supreme Council be maintained?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maintained? Maintain what? Maintain the power in your hands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, my point is that they are already new races. Pulling them into the Supreme Council now brings us no benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, are you a fundamentalist too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible? My intention is for everyone in the Supreme Council to take this race issue seriously and figure out how to handle it moving forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright. We all know how many of them have already evolved. That isn't the problem. The current problem is that if this continues, the new races outside the Supreme Council's system will slip entirely out of our control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we have to invite them in the end? If we do, many things will have to be redistributed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we have to invite them in the end? If we do, many things will have to be redistributed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh... What other choice is there? If that Witch, Lan Qingyou, hadn't created those evolution potions in the first place, we wouldn't be in such a passive position right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Saying this now just sounds like whining. Are you even fit to be a council member of the Supreme Council?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, I've noticed you all seem quite confident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, I was just wondering what exactly makes you think those Clan Heads will actually show up just because we send an invitation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had hit the nail on the head, bringing the entire meeting's discussion to a screeching halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single one of these Clan Heads was rebellious and untamed; there really was no guarantee they would willingly join the Supreme Council's system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Clan Head of the Witch Clan, who was currently their most deadly headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply held far too much technology in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a portion of the roughly ten thousand Witches currently had ties to the Supreme Council, the vast majority were merely hired employees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While all of them running off wouldn't completely flush their investments down the drain, it still left people feeling quite uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, being unable to control a situation or a person was exactly what this group feared the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the Adventurer's Guild's probing of The Abandoned Land wouldn't have happened last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, thanks to that Witch's interference, they forcefully ended up losing more than just a piece of land—a classic case of suffering a double loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How should I know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about it. We need to figure out how to respond first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. These long-term worries can be pondered over slowly. Our immediate concern right now is dealing with the Witches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone proposed a plan to temporarily shelve the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else can we do? We can only send Chu Yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Chu Yuan, go ask that Witch what exactly is going on over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Chu Yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Chu Yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once someone started it, others were bound to follow suit.
