— Meanwhile, New Atlantis —
While Daniel was testing the weapon in the Sultanate of Aqaba, an important report reached both Albert and Cao Cao. They read the document carefully before discussing how to proceed. The file contained data about a newly arrived group of mages who had entered New Atlantis under the banner of the Ming Federation.
Now, Cao Cao was on the phone, speaking with Zheng Tianming, the Zheng Clan patriarch and leader of the Ming Federation.
"Mr. Zheng… let me be clear. You legitimized the identities of these individuals. Does this mean you're vouching for them? Can we take your word that, while they are here, they won't cause any trouble?" Cao Cao asked, his tone serious.
"Yes, Lord Cao. I've already briefed them on the rules and who holds power there, including Lord Emberweave's authority. I even provided them with photos of the individuals they must not offend, particularly members of Lord Emberweave's family," Zheng Tianming replied.
