good moment of introspection for Ves. calabash has been waiting for that moment to sting his ol smoothly shaven chin. Ves has no business imagining he ISNT on par with the average seniors and masters of the industry. he has spent the last 2000 chapters directly competing with them and holding his own.
Well now... is Ves really about to soften his stance and settle down on a planet? Or is he about to FINALLY give up on the remaining shares of LMC and shed his whole "bring his family with him to 1st Class" idea? Honestly, I think Calabast and Sheriden are pushing him closer and closer to Option 2 at this point! Springing the whole "you will give public support and officially join this new country" on Ves was NOT a diplomatic move at all! I honestly expected way more tact from professional diplomats! It also looks like "Option 3" - keep setting up more branches in more areas will be the best compromise. Perhaps a 3rd class branche with the old family as a core?
