The other chairmen looked at each other greedily, hesitating despite their alliance with Starfire, because ultimately, it was all about territory.
They were allied now, but in the end, especially entering the second phase, it might lead to conflict.
In fact, they were not a complete community of interests, and everyone was very clear about that in their hearts.
Li Yao was well aware of their thoughts, "Do you think that, because Starfire has cannons, I can talk without feeling the pain and that's why you don't want to get involved?"
The other chairmen didn't nod or shake their heads, but that was indeed what they meant.
"Not all cannons are the same, and Starfire's are just average; we can't even afford those top-notch cannons. Pirates' cannons, how do I put it, are slightly stronger than those of Starfire's. But that's not really the point. Pirates are notoriously difficult to deal with."
