Daphne Green pondered and said, "Well, since they jointly host the Exchange Meeting, they naturally know each other well."
"But... as to whether they have good relations, I can't say for certain. To be accurate, there's really no clear divide between good or bad relationships."
"What do you mean?" Ethan Smith asked.
Daphne Green explained: "For each aristocratic family, their primary concern is their own interest."
"Moreover, there are only so many resources in the world. Even the resources in the Mystic Realm, simply put, are plundered from the human realm."
"Therefore, on the surface, everything seems harmonious among the great families, but, in reality, they are covertly in rivalry, competing against each other."
Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "In other words, as long as the profit is substantial, they can become enemies too?"
"Correct, any family is like that." Daphne Green nodded.
"I understand now." Ethan Smith nodded.
