Chapter 2290: Arrangements
"What they want is something we can't give them—at least, not in their understanding."
Xiao Ran, deep in thought, was interrupted by Kane's sudden words. He looked up at Kane.
Kane continued, "On the surface, what they want is true freedom: an independent and equal status that does not rely on anyone or require charity, a status that lets them sit at the same table as New Unified, as well as the interests that originally belonged to the Brishigaman Cluster."
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and nodded lightly. "You're right. We really can't give Windermere what it wants. True freedom? Heh, what true freedom exists in a world like this? Even if they ultimately won and drove New Unified out of the Brishigaman Cluster, all it would do would be return their lives to how they were before. New Unified would still confine them to the Brishigaman Cluster."
"Besides, not every planet in the Brishigaman Cluster is willing to stand firmly with the Kingdom of Windermere. So many years have passed. New Unified and humanity have thoroughly integrated into the Brishigaman Cluster and brought so many changes to this place. How could their influence be so easily erased? On the contrary, Windermere would only face New Unified's frenzied retaliation."
After speaking, Xiao Ran looked at Kane and asked, "Do you think the Kingdom of Windermere as it stands now has the ability to withstand New Unified's frenzied retaliation?"
"No." Kane shook his head. "That's why they must have an important trump card in hand. That trump card is where their confidence comes from, but it definitely isn't just Berserk Syndrome."
Xiao Ran said thoughtfully, "Yes, that's what I think too. Berserk Syndrome is certainly one of their methods, but it definitely isn't their true trump card.
