Therefore, this is an internal feud within the Planter family.
To say it's an internal feud in the Planter family is not accurate; the truth is Liao Zhenghong controls Warick Edward to purge the Planter family, to seize the immense wealth under the family's name.
However, the Planter family has been passed down for ten centuries, with complex networks. Though called a family, many branches don't even share the same surname.
Actually, the Planter family is just a collective name for a power originating from the Plantanite Dynasty, without strong ties between each other.
Therefore, even though Warick Edward is one of the seven helmsmen, he couldn't control all the branches in his hands.
This led to the Planter family splintering overnight, with some branches becoming independent and no longer identifying as part of the Planter family.
Some branches could not resist Warick Edward's methods and chose to ally with other ASE Alliance members to preserve their wealth.
