Mofan had been keeping up with the latest news. He had heard about what Brianca said a few days ago.
A few days after they arrived at the Aorus Sacred Institute, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Chile decided to form a federation in South America, named after the Andes Mountain Range, in order to fend off the sea monsters in the Pacific Ocean.
The Andes Federation!
Many countries along the coast had taken the necessary measures. China had established base cities, Feiniao Base City, Magic City Base City, and Demon Metropolis Base City. Most of the people in the cities and towns along the coast had been gathered in the base cities. It was easier to manage them while working together to fend off the sea monsters.
Countries like Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Chile in South America were heavily affected by the sea monsters in the Pacific Ocean. It was impossible for them to build a sea wall covering tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline. Even the most developed countries would struggle to do so.
Therefore, they had no choice but to establish a federation to share resources and information about the sea monsters. They could also help one another to tide over the crisis.
"The federation will make the coastline more stable, but our predecessors' efforts over the past few decades will be in vain because of it. The orphanages in different areas are going to be abandoned, but the new Federation didn't leave a place for our Alps Orphanage. Around five thousand four hundred children are going to be homeless … the Alps Institute is built in Europe, and the laws of Europe and Switzerland don't allow us to bring the children to the Alps. Besides, we don't have enough money to take care of so many people, "Brianca said.
As the sea monsters continued to invade the Pacific Ocean, homeless children continued to appear in different countries and cities. These children did not even remember who they were. The countries in the Americas were in constant political turmoil. They did not have a proper organization to take care of the orphans after the war.
The Alps Institute used to have many orphanages to take care of the children, but the federation was about to be established. The orphanages were abandoned and had become dangerous zones. The children had nowhere to go.
That was why Brianca's heart ached.
"So you came to the Aorus Sacred Institute to ask them to help the children?" Mofan asked her.
"Mm. The Aorus Sacred Institute is powerful enough. I only hope they can talk to the new leader of the federation about it. I hope they will give the Alps Institute a safe place so the children can stay, "Brianca said.
"The Aorus Sacred Institute didn't agree to it?" Mofan asked.
"I won't be so sad if you agree," Brianca said helplessly.
"Why didn't they agree?" Mofan asked again.
"They said they won't be involved in the politics of any country," Brianca said bitterly.
"Is this politics?"
"The only thing I can do now is to let the students win in the Open Tournament and use our influence to make the local authorities take us seriously. As for the outcome, it's not something I can control," Brianca said.
Mofan didn't know what to say.
In fact, they couldn't be blamed for losing their humanity. It was just that with the constant attacks of the Sea Demons, even adults had no place to stay. Naturally, no one would care about these orphans who didn't contribute much.
The Alps Institute was only doing charity, but charity was not going to solve the problems of society. As the war between the Sea Demons and the Sea Demons continued, more orphans would be born. The Alps Institute was just a school, not a profit-making organization. They were still funded by the donations and sponsorships of the European clans and factions. It was extremely difficult for them to handle something as costly as this.
As the saying went, "Wine and meat go to waste at the door, while bones freeze to death at the road". If the students managed to become a student of the Aorus Sacred Institute, they would be able to live a carefree life in this heaven-like place. Apart from that, they could live in caves, under bridges, or in garbage dumps … it was their own problem.
"The Aorus Sacred Institute isn't going to care about it. You can talk to the Parthenon. After all, Parthenon is focused on it too," Mofan told Brianca.
"Parthenon?" Brianca shook her head. "It's not like you don't know the grudge between our school and Parthenon. They will only add insult to injury. They won't work with us."
"Have you tried?" Mofan asked.
"No, the result is obvious," Brianca said confidently.
"So you'd rather stay in this restaurant and suffer from insomnia and sadness? You'd rather do everything you can to win the tournament than try to set aside your grudge and negotiate with Parthenon?" Mofan asked in return.
Brianca was startled.
She looked at Mofan and was lost for words for a long time.
Mofan had heard Xinxia mention the same thing that Brianca mentioned before. She was also troubled by the same thing.
However, Parthenon's influence had yet to reach the Americas. Most people in the Americas were on the Alps Institute's side.
The Alps Institute had chosen the path of the commoners, mainly because they were poor.
Parthenon was rich, but unfortunately, the people here only listened to the gospel of the Alps. They were equally against Parthenon.
Xinxia was from China. She did not have the prejudice between Parthenon and the Alps. Mofan had already hinted the Alps Institute to contact Xinxia, but they had yet to try …
Mofan did not want to influence the decisions of the people in power, but he did not like the fact that they were against each other because of their past grudges.
It was all for charity. It did not really matter if they did not do it or not. If it concerned their survival, why would they care about their past grudges?
"Isn't it too late now?" Brianca said, a little ashamed.
"Let's try to contact them and see if there's a chance," Mofan said.
…
That being said, Mofan was not sure if the Alps Institute would work with Parthenon. After all, Brianca was not a leader of the school.
However, Mofan, who was planning to pay a visit to the Sun-Gathering Peak, received a piece of terrible news. The Sun-Gathering Peak had been occupied by an army of the New Federation. They were using the Sun-Gathering Peak as a mine!
"Damn it, they were one step ahead of us!" Mofan cursed in annoyance.
"Lightning Pentagons, a material that can be used as a Cultivation Artifact. Wow … if I knew this was going to happen, we would have gone straight to the mine and become the richest person in the world!" Zhao Manyan complained.
