Bu Ersun said, "If you look down on me, then we have nothing left to discuss."
Rat Head said, "The Elder Council has already entered a period of decline. A mere Jiang Family withstood round after round of your attacks, then managed to withdraw unscathed and force you to negotiate a peace agreement with them. Do you really think the Elder Council can still command the masses?"
