"If we don't unite soon, the next victim will be us."
Facing the loud appeal from the Empire's representative, Sofia smiled and teased, "Perhaps it would be more accurate if you removed the word 'us'."
"The weak are devoured by the strong; this has been a rule everyone follows for many years. Why didn't you oppose the division of Val City State then?"
Sofia mercilessly mocked, "When bullying weaker countries with strength, you strike hard; but when threatened by a more powerful country, you resort to shouting? Mr. Bonek, you truly disappoint me."
The representative of the Empire was stared down casually by Sofia, like a frog being targeted by a poisonous snake, suddenly sweating profusely, his face flushed.
Sofia's words were blunt but factual.
Just earlier, while proposing to divide Val City State, Mr. Bonek did not oppose it at all; he even smiled happily.
Can't he take it when it's his turn to be hit?
