Akhtava's idea wasn't something he particularly supported. It was far too risky. Even if this news hadn't been deliberately released by the Federation, Central City was not so easy to take.
Deputy Head Lu still felt there was no need to attack Central City first. It was said that once the Seven Saints Gate opened, Ikuss's condition could improve.
