Bellif's choice left everyone present somewhat stunned.
Sevra looked at his father in utter surprise; even he hadn't expected his father to make such a choice, let alone anyone else.
The others from the War God Palace also wore faces of amazement.
Barren couldn't help but change his expression slightly; he, too, hadn't anticipated that Bellif would make such a decision.
"Either hand over Guding, or we go to war. These are the two choices I give you," Bellif added.
Bellif had his reasons for making this choice.
A few days ago, when Sevra was stalled by Barren, who refused to hand over the people, Sevra immediately reported the situation here to Bellif.
At that time, Bellif judged that Barren was likely waiting for something, and he wasn't fully committed to protecting the Guding Pirate Group.
Now, however, Barren's attitude suddenly turned firm, resolute even to the point of going to war with the War God Palace.
Bellif knew something must have happened during this period.
