Although Baron Hamet, who had gone to survey Wubei Territory, had not yet returned, the cooperation between Ronin and Vitorino could already be finalized.
Vitorino had initially been skeptical of Ronin's proposal, but now the other party had transformed into the Lord of Rapids Island, and Rapids Island's location was excellent.
