Lance didn't know that after Luigi hung up the phone, he called Paul. Now the atmosphere on Sumuli Island was like the friction among the four nations: ready to burst into flames at any moment, with not enough people available for deployment.
On the contrary, the Four Great Families were constantly calling back family members from all over the world, demanding they fight for the family honor.
As part of the relatively well-known Pasiletto Family within the Federation, they were naturally part of this conscription, but Paul had refused.
The largely independent Pasiletto Family definitely disagreed with being drafted. Why should their people go and fight to the death while others reaped the benefits?
The faction behind Paul offered him another choice: if he didn't want to take the "children" back to Sumuli Island to join the fight for justice, then he should contribute at least five million!
