Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1572 - 56: The Split Between Fire Lotus and Radiant Star (Part 2)

"With allies like these, we cannot just stand by, or the prestige of the ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ faction will be greatly diminished."

"Furthermore, the Amo Research Institute is a key member in the development of the ’Red Lotus Weapon System.’ Attacking them might be an attempt by those people to acquire data on the ’Red Lotus Weapon System,’ which should be taken seriously."

"As for the other matters, they do have an impact, but not as critical as the aforementioned two. We are currently short on personnel, many are out on missions, so we can only choose what’s important."

Another intelligence officer took a deep breath, calming his uneasy heart.

"I understand everything you mentioned." He walked to the window, looking at the scene outside through the blinds.

"But increasingly, our manpower is stretched thin like putting out fires, and it’s becoming more and more overwhelming."

"Should we seek help, I mean, ask the Children of the Stars for assistance?" another intelligence officer inquired.

"Ask them?" He hesitated for a few seconds.

"Alright, it’s not a time to be vain now. They should be able to offer us help."

...

In the following month, various unforeseen events plagued the ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ faction, and many other factions seemed to have a tacit understanding, knowing that the ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ faction was overwhelmed and acted increasingly brazenly.

The occurrence of various incidents left the ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ faction in panic internally. The groups that were already wavering began to consider leaving this sinking ship and seeking new forces to join.

Facing such peril, the Star Son Alliance gradually took action, assisting in cleaning up the groups that were secretly sabotaging.

With the intelligence and personnel support from the Children of the Stars, the number of accidents decreased significantly over the next month, and many hidden forces were eradicated, stabilizing the situation.

"No, as long as the Children of the Stars are involved, we can hardly succeed. Their intelligence system is simply too powerful." At the second meeting, the group of people from Concealment gathered to exchange information.

"I’m also troubled. If just our meeting, we can be careful not to leave any traces, but commanding subordinate personnel activities can’t avoid the network, otherwise, it would be too slow and rigid."

"Is there no solution to the Children of the Stars Alliance?" someone asked.

"It’s difficult, their faction is extremely decentralized, you can hardly find a true core."

"Moreover, space stations are unlike inhabited stars; their environment is rather enclosed, making it difficult for outsiders to infiltrate."

"But if not dealt with, it’s very hard to topple the ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ faction." Someone spoke anxiously.

"This... I suddenly have an idea." Someone thought of something.

"Speak quickly, don’t keep us in suspense now."

"I’m thinking, ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ is originally an alliance of two forces. Is there really not any crack between them, are they that tightly knit?"

"The ambition of the Children of the Stars isn’t really large; they just want to occupy a certain seat in the Federal Central Council and have the Federation vigorously support the development and establishment of various space stations to expand their population. As for other matters, they don’t have much intention for them right now. Therefore, various policy agreements are generally handled by the faction led by Prin. They hold much power and occupy important departmental positions."

"But clearly, the assistance provided by the Fire Lotus faction within the faction isn’t as significant as that of the Children of the Stars, and most of the benefits and power have been consumed by the Fire Lotus faction." Someone said slyly.

"Not all Children of the Stars are fond of the Fire Lotus faction, especially Prin Coco’s strong methods, which many Children of the Stars don’t care for."

"That’s not enough; we have to find irreconcilable differences between the two sides and amplify them."

"Such differences..." Many present racked their brains.

"What if we spread rumors to sow discord between the two?"

"Useful, but not very effective; it’s easy to see through. After all, at this level, everyone knows those tricks." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"What if we incite many factions to defect to the Star Son Alliance, urging them to break away from the ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ faction, how about that?"

"This is also difficult because the Star Son Alliance doesn’t have such strong ambition, nor is there a necessary reason for them to be independent. They’d likely not accept."

"This..." The room fell into a deadlock.

Time passed minute by minute.

"I thought of a person." Someone suddenly spoke.

"You should know in the beginning that the Star Son Alliance was actually adversarial to the faction led by Prin, and the cause and key person was ’Bai Mei Vertical Harp’ Evelyn."

"I’m thinking, ’Bai Mei Vertical Harp’ Evelyn should still be alive, and clearly, she is a mortal enemy to the faction led by Prin, and she is most likely under the protection of the Star Son Alliance, not handed over to the faction where Prin Coco is."

"Moreover, although the Elves have lost power, their latent strength and influence are still significant, just lurking now. If we support ’Bai Mei Vertical Harp’ Evelyn to re-enter the Federal Center, Prin absolutely cannot ignore it, and she would surely demand the Children of the Stars hand over Evelyn, which the Children of the Stars would not accept."

"This is indeed an irreconcilable difference between the two sides, especially for the conglomerate faction led by Prin Coco. They’ve taken over the majority of interests from the Elf Faction, and there’s simply no way they can give it up. Furthermore, the Elf Faction would never forgive the other side, they’ve already become mortal enemies, just that the Elves are currently weak and have to avoid confrontation."
