Of course, some chose to pretend they couldn't see the problem.
Some of them were senior members of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce.
On paper, the more than a hundred Star Destroyers gathered in the Jizhou Star Sector all belonged to the Li Family Chamber of Commerce.
In reality, though, nearly every one of those Star Destroyers had its own loyalties!

And according to Li Bicheng's decision,
