Late into the night, the decision makers of the Wanderers all went to the private room on the third floor of the restaurant.
The party was still active because the members of the younger generation had not gathered like this for a good while.
They had many things to talk about with their peers, making the party lively even though the adults were no longer with them.
"So now, we are in a waiting game," Lawrence addressed everyone inside the room. "We will choose to retreat or advance depending on what comes out of those six gates."
He then glanced at Zion, who sat between Arthur and Tristan.
"Zion, you told me before you headed to this continent that we may not be able to win the war, but we will also not lose," Lawrence stated. "Does that still hold?"
"Yes, Sir," Thirteen answered. "I have a way to make the Jinns submit. However, it will probably take a year after the war starts before they bend their knees."
