Everything clicked in their minds after hearing her response.

Before getting interested in the Elementals' Galaxy, none of them knew about the time difference since the Elementals had done a great job of keeping it a secret.

This made them continue assuming that the trade between them and the alliance was normal.

But in reality? Having the time difference at a hundred made it impossible for the alliance to keep up with the Elementals' food demand.

After all, a mere year was considered a hundred in the Elementals Galaxy.

This implied that by the time the food run out in the Elementals Galaxy, not much time had passed in the eyes of the alliance.

"To avoid crashing the elemental stones market by overflowing it, we have decided to limit the trades to a reasonable number even if it meant our people spending years without tasting the alliance's food." Miss Monaka sighed.

Felix and the others understood that if they didn't do so, the elemental stones would be diluted in value, which would cause the quantity of food traded to reduce slowly with time.

Instead of falling for this and getting taken advantage of by the alliance, it was better for them to be the ones controlling the flow of the elemental stones market.

This naturally resulted in having not enough delicious food going around in the galaxy, which turned it into a treasured resource.

"I don't understand, why don't you ignore the alliance and sell your elemental stones directly to the consumers to earn much more coins." Olivia tilted her head in confusion, "This will allow you to buy food directly as well from any empire you choose...Isn't it much better?"

"It is much better." Miss Monaka shook her head, "Unfortunately, our partnership forbids us from going around the official alliance's trades."

"They can do that? Aren't you part of the inner circle?"

"We might be an inner circle race, but we haven't signed the same contract as the others." Miss Monaka shared, "The ten rulers wanted access to our galaxy or at least establish the UVR's network there. However, our refusal made them consider us as mere business partners instead of actual allies."

In other words, even though the Elementals Race was an inner circle member, their benefits were actually much fewer than outer circle races.

Even though the alliance desired their elemental stones heavily, it didn't mean that they would allow them to walk over them.

Thus, just like the Elementals limited the alliance's involvement in their galaxy, the alliance also limited their involvement in their matters.
