One of Haitin's sect elders couldn't resist questioning Aksai's plan.
"Brat, your entire argument rests on the assumption that the Sun Ocean Lord actually cares about his daughter. His actions so far don't support that," the elder said skeptically.
Aksai shook his head, his confidence unwavering.
"That doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't particularly care about Siya's well-being, he should care about his reputation as a Core Formation Lord.
How could he allow his daughter to be killed in the Wild Devil Lands, even if he's the one who sent her here in the first place?
A Core Formation Lord's pride is enormous. Even if he sends his daughter into enemy territory, he'd still expect the enemy to give him face and not harm her. That's the arrogance that comes with his status.
Sometimes, the best way out is through.
