No wonder Master Quan was so bad at persuading Ves.
The hidden traitor never staked everything on winning over the only known human phase lord from the beginning!
As far as the cosmopolitans were concerned, converting Ves to their cause was just an optional bonus objective.
It would definitely be nice if Ves saw the light and joined the Cosmopolitan Movement on his own accord, but it had never been an essential component to their plan.
The cosmopolitans did not really suffer a loss if their target failed to cooperate with their initiatives.
This was because their original plan called for taking matters into their own hands!
Rather than trying to cooperate with a foreign and unreliable element, wouldn't it be nicer if Master Quan or another trustworthy cadre of their movement became a phase lord?
