The very next day after reaching the planet of Kolediana, Elena took Gotou and Kita with her and left for the capital of the Great Wu Empire. She was planning to visit the Truth Guild located there. Saska also joined them as the a witness. As for rest of the ladies, they were going to stay in Kolediana and study for the time being. They were not needed to make a deal with the truth guild, so Elena told them to prepare properly for the upcoming negotiation with the Wu royal family where they would have the main role.

The capital of the Grand Wu Empire was located on a planet called Tsavaska. The whole planet looked extremely interesting to Elena. That was because, this planet was completely grey in colour with no green or blue on the surface. There were no forests or seas or desserts in the whole planet. Everything here was made of metal and concrete. The whole planet was more like a super large city.

Elena had studied the nation of grand Wu quite a bit so she was familiar with this special characteristics of the capital planet. But even then she was amazed after seeing the real deal with her eyes. She thought that if Kasumi was here, she would have lost her mind after seeing something like this.

But Elena did not spend too much time appreciating the scenery and quickly drove the spaceship toward the southern pole of this planet. Things like global warming and climate changes were something that the technology of this world had conquered long long ago.

The truth guild was located at the southern pole. As the space ship was about to enter the airzone controlled by the truth guild, two large mechas blocked the road in front of it.

These two mechas were even stronger than the five mechas used by Hongjuan against Elena. And they were just regular guards for the truth guild. In the distance, Elena was able to see that hundreds of the same mechas were scattered throughout this airzone.

Elena did not have a conversation with the security mechas and instead she send vice branch manager Gotou out. As she was also a part of the truth guild, she was more well suited to take care of the situation.

All the members of the truth guild had a special identification card and by showing that to the mechas, Elena's ship was easily able to get the permission to enter the airzone of the truth guild. As a vice master of a guild branch, Gotou held a significantly important position and would be given respect even in other branches located in different worlds.

The head of the truth guild of this planet had the position of a division head and his name was Shu Jianxin. His position was technically a little bit lower than Gotou's as he was only a head in a not so important city of this world, while on the other hand, Gotou was the second in command for a whole world.

So when Gotou asked for a meeting with him, she was immediately given an appointment.

Shu Jianxin was a handsome Elementavor with green skin and white hair. From the purple coloured gem on his head, it was also clear that his noble bloodline was quite powerful. The grade of an Elementavor's bloodline could be judged based on the colour of the gem on their forehead. Red colour was representing the lowest quality followed by orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. Even above the purple, there was the black coloured gem but no Elementavor of this region had a gem of that supreme shade.

Shu Jianxin was very respectful toward Gotou and he was the most sane member of this guild that Elena had came across. He had a cool head and an intelligent brain. In no time, he managed to understand the situation and became furious with the Li family.

As a division head of the truth guild, he was aware of the importance that the world of PALDORA had to the truth guild. There were very few members of the truth guild who had not heard about the heart tools. So trying to interfere with that world was not something that he or the Truth Guild could allow. As he was incharge of this nation where the Li family resided, if the Li family could manage to harm the interest of the truth guild in that world, he would definitely be held responsible and would be punished by the higher ups. So he immediately decided to take measures to stop the Li family from acting on their schemes.

Elena told him that they were also planning to have a meeting with the Wu royal family which Shu Jianxin supported. The truth guild had a good relationship with the royal family and with their help, he would have an easier time going against the Li family. Without that he might need to ask help from the head quarters which Shu Jianxin wanted to avoid.

Just like that, Elena was able to easily get the cooperation of the truth guild and they even told her that they would take care of arranging a meeting with the current emperor. That was very helpful as even with Baron Hongjuan's connections, they would have needed quite some time to get a chance to have a conversation with the emperor.

After a very successful meeting with the leader of this truth guild, Elena and the three ladies return back to Kolediana happily to share this good news with the other ladies.

...

While Elena had a successful meeting, the same could not be said for Li Suishi. Even after he himself came to the Grand Celestial Alliance, they refused to give complete protection to his family. Actually a high ranking member of the Grand Celestial Alliance was a good friend of one of Li family's ancestors. He was also the reason why many people from the faction of the Li family had managed to join this mega organisation.

But this benefactor of the Li family had recently been transferred to a different region and Li Suishi was not aware of that. So even though still now the Grand Celestial Alliance were willing to be allies with the Li family, they were not going to provide them unlimited support line before, without getting any benefit.

So if Li Suishi wanted to get their help, he needed to give the Grand Celestial Alliance some kind of benefit that they woulf not be able to refuse. Their were a few things that the Li family could use in this regard but those things were trump cards and losing them would be a huge loss to the Li family. Currently they were trying to earn as much money as they could to buy the special weapon, so how could they afford to lose money in this situation.

Li Suishi was also not completely sure that the Li family were definitely weaker than their opponents. There was a chance that he was overestimating their enemies. So losing a bunch of money in fear of an unknown foe would be foolish in his opinion. So he did not finalised the cooperation with the Grand Celestial Alliance and instead just gave the Grand Celestial Alliance a few not too valuable gifts to show their goodwill to them. This way, if the enemy really turned out to be too strong in the future, the Li family could still ask for the Grand Celestial Alliance for help.

So for the time being, Li Suishi decided to use his backup plan, which was to use their subordinate families to attack Baron Hongjuan. This way he would be able to find out how strong their opponents actually were.

Just like that, the shadow battle between Elena and the Li family continued.
