With a sword pointed at him, Venus Star hurriedly made his position clear as well, terrified that he might lose his life.
It could be said that the Dragon King of the Western Sea had chosen the perfect solution to the current situation. He supported it wholeheartedly.
In the world of adults, when you could not beat someone at their own game, you compromised. That was maturity-and politics.
They had seen plenty of it.
"Thank you for your understanding, Bodhisattva."
"Thank you for your understanding, Immortal Venus Star!"
Their statements immediately earned the unanimous thanks of the four Dragon Kings. If Alligator Dragon really backed down, today's confrontation would be resolved perfectly.
Now, everything depended on Alligator Dragon.
Their gazes converged on Alligator Dragon as they waited for his response, for him to lay his cards on the table again. In truth, what he had revealed so far still lacked sufficient weight.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Now I've seen it all! They're clearly cowards, yet every last one of them managed to find so many high-sounding excuses!"
"These Dragon Kings are nowhere near as simple as they look!"
The monsters in the group witnessed this sudden reversal and could not help marveling at it. Today had truly opened their eyes.
Still, eye-opening though it was, Sun Wukong could not agree with these fellows.
Because, no matter how they dressed it up, it was cowardice!
It was fear!
"Exactly. They've turned 'being a coward' into 'taking the long view.' These dragons are old hands at compromise," Fat Tiger added.
"Actually, Wukong, Fat Tiger, there's no need to mock them like that."
"I think the Dragon Kings' current choice is perfectly understandable. This is the only road open to the Dragon Clan. They've been bullied for so many years-what else can they do?
