Batuma paid no mind to Connor, Mela, and Avera as they tried to stop him, continuing, "The thirteen families murdered Anlon Lie Feng due to a severe ideological disagreement and a massive conflict of interest."
"To put it bluntly, the people of the thirteen families were nothing but filthy political animals."
"Hm?" Fang Zhen raised an eyebrow.
Batuma hadn't yet specified what ideological disagreement or conflict of interest had turned the ancestors of the thirteen families from Anlon Lie Feng's loyal followers into his murderers.
Fang Zhen looked at Batuma and asked, "The specifics?"
Batuma, who clearly knew a great deal, continued, "Anlon Lie Feng was a man of true vision. When he founded the Lansit Kingdom, he proposed a blueprint for a nation where Crystal Bone Masters and ordinary people could live together as equals, free from hatred, harm, and conflict."
"At the time, this was considered an overly idealistic notion."
