"This doesn't seem to have much to do with us...
But Zhao Wan and the others were invited to perform in the Xitu Federation this time.
Could the Three Harmony Group also be pushing things behind the scenes?"
Shi Zunhou replied without much interest at first, but then thought of something and blurted out.
"That's certainly possible."
Mada nodded impassively.
"With Zhao Wan's reputation, if anything happened to her within the Xitu Federation, it would definitely cause a sensation.
That would draw countless eyes to the matter.
If that happened, there'd be a high chance that the Xitu Federation's intention to cooperate with the Three Harmony Group would be exposed.
Compared with something as significant as cooperation between the Three Harmony Group and the Xitu Federation,
the Three Harmony Group's designs on Zhao Wan are probably something they wouldn't want brought into the open.
The Three Harmony Group's higher-ups can't be that foolish, can they?"
Li Zongxu frowned.
He was Zhao Wan's "superfan," but that didn't stop him from looking at the matter rationally.
"So the Three Harmony Group tried something in the New Song Kingdom before, then attempted an ambush in the ungoverned zone.
They just failed both times.
If Zhao Wan really has something the Three Harmony Group covets,
then after investing so much already, they won't give up easily.
They'll either make a move inside the Xitu Federation, or along Zhao Wan's return journey.
The Three Harmony Group will definitely strike!
A band of space pirates is like a pack of wolves.
Before choosing their prey, they're cautious and selective.
But once they've chosen,
they won't let their target go unless they have no other choice.
Otherwise, if they give up too easily a few times,
it'll be hard to keep the crew in line."
