When Tatagi Valji learned that their fleet in the harbor had been nearly wiped out, this man, now over fifty and having lived the better part of his life, was within the mansion of his family's estate, discussing the trade industry of precious marine resources and the unit price issue of salmon import supply chains with an Interior Ministry official from the Epirus Republic.
When a servant from the Valji family informed him of this news, the Interior Ministry official from the Epirus Republic abruptly expressed to Sir Tatagi Valji with embarrassment that he needed to reconsider for a while before deciding whether to cooperate with the Valji family.
Sir Tatagi Valji, with his head lowered, quickly recovered from the destruction of the fleet, realizing that there must be some serious internal issue in their family that led to internal friction, leaving them unable to counter-attack in time.
