Balaman finally spoke and told Isabella the truth.
"However, I have only provided some financial support. I haven't agreed to anything else yet; it's still under consideration."
Balaman was well aware that, in a sense, the man was not entirely trustworthy.
However, this did not prevent him from boarding the pirate ship, but from offering tributes to the pirates.
To put it simply, it's called "riding on someone else's good luck".
If, by some chance, this minority manages to defeat the majority, then at least with the relationships we've built up now, even if we don't get the lion's share, we can at least have some soup.
After hearing her father's story, Isabella was so angry she laughed.
So many years have passed, and her old-fashioned father is still so innocent and naive, to the point of being ridiculous.
"How well do you know that person? You trust him so much?!"
How can you be sure those people aren't lying to you?! Father, at least use your brain!
Isabella knew very well that she didn't have much time left. She had to try her best to salvage and make amends before the worst happened, and see if she could ultimately change the outcome.
“Father, if you are truly thinking about the future of the Sirens, I advise you to listen to me this time and tell me the whole story without hiding anything from me!”
Please don't harbor any unrealistic fantasies and try to hide it, because you know very well that if I can't beat an opponent, you can't handle them either!
As for the person lurking in the shadows and instigating you, they are even less convincing!
Although Balaman is old-fashioned and conservative, he has one advantage: he can listen to advice to some extent, even if it's just a little bit. But in the current situation, that's enough.
Song Mengmeng saw Isabella again that evening.
She was somewhat surprised by Isabella's visit, but she did not turn her away. After all, judging from the arrogant young lady's attitude, she knew that, at least for the time being, Isabella was willing to cooperate.
“I went back and asked my father, and he said he had never met the person behind it; everything was done by phone!”
He transferred a sum of money to the designated account as our family's support for their actions. In fact, this kind of action is very common and does not necessarily mean that my father supports their actions. It's just that sometimes it's not good to offend people, and things that can be solved with money are not a big deal!
Apart from that, my father never had any further contact with that side.
Just a few days ago, when the incident had just occurred, someone from that side called my father. That person knew my father very well and immediately pointed out that we were Sirens.
Our race has been hiding in the human world for thousands of years!
We and you humans have lived in peace for a long time!
But now, because of some family matters, my father has to face some difficult choices. The person on the other end told my father that if he could accept the conditions proposed by that person, he would help my father solve the things that my father was worried about and afraid of after the matter was completed.
Fortunately, the father did not immediately agree to the other party's request, but said he would consider it.
Even today, when I went back to ask my father, they still haven't called back to inquire about his decision!
According to my father, that person was probably not a member of the Titan Kingdom's familiar underworld, because his accent sounded very strange.
I know it's strange that I'm here now, telling you these things.
However, I am well aware of the gap in strength between me and you!
I don't like you, but the strength is undeniable. I'm no match for you, so I don't want to make a futile struggle. I don't want to be your enemy, so I've come here now to tell you everything I know. In fact, if there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best to cooperate.
I have only one request: I hope that after this matter is over, you will not hold a grudge against us Sirens!
Isabella spoke quickly, her words tinged with urgency and unease, as if afraid of being interrupted.
Actually, her concern is not hard to understand.
After all, whether they were willing or not, their family had been caught up in this huge storm to some extent, and she had no idea how much she could salvage by doing this.
“If everything you say is true, I wouldn’t be so bored as to fight to the death with your Sirens.” Song Mengmeng looked at Isabella and responded to her request very readily.
However, before Isabella could even breathe a sigh of relief, the little girl continued, "But if you choose to deceive us, or if you hide anything from us and interfere with our process of handling this matter, then I think you should pay some price for doing something wrong!"
"Don't worry, I specifically asked my father before I came here. He said that everything he said is true and he has not hidden anything!" Isabella raised her hand and solemnly swore to Song Mengmeng.
Song Mengmeng stared at Isabella for a while before nodding as if she remembered something, and continued to ask her, "I heard that the cruise ship that had the accident was run by your family?!"
"Yes. But we didn't expect those people to be so audacious as to hijack the entire cruise ship!"
Actually, I was at the company just before I came to see you.
