“Eric, the previous leader, seemed somewhat blindly arrogant. If he had first gathered the core power of the Death Rose and then launched an attack on the Independent State, this might have been a different story.”
“Right.”
Ye Wanwan hurriedly took out another ring and handed it to North Star’s mother. “Auntie, what does this ring represent in the Death Rose?”
Upon hearing this, North Star’s mother took the ring handed to her by Ye Wanwan, carefully examined it, and shook her head. “This ring, although it bears some resemblance to the supreme ring that represents the Death Rose, I have never seen it before.”
“Never seen it?!”
Ye Wanwan looked surprised. She had thought that these two rings should be related, but this ring appeared to have no connection to the Death Rose.
“That’s correct. The ring you’re holding now, I can assure you, has absolutely no connection to the Death Rose. If it did, as the World Liaison, I wouldn’t be unaware of it,” North Star’s mother affirmed.
With North Star’s mother’s words, Ye Wanwan began to doubt her life choices. This second ring was possibly a fake, and she had been treating it as a treasure.
Of course, the possibility of it being a fake was just one of many, and Ye Wanwan couldn’t be certain. There might be other meanings to it.
For now, Ye Wanwan decided to keep the second ring, whether it was genuine or not.
“Now that you have the ring, will you fulfill the mission of the Death Rose?” North Star’s mother asked, not giving Ye Wanwan a chance to continue speaking.
“Of course, I will fulfill it!” Ye Wanwan nodded without hesitation. She wouldn’t pass up the opportunity that had fallen into her lap, going from the leader of the Fearless Alliance directly to the Death Rose’s Eric.
“By the way, what is the mission of the Death Rose?” Ye Wanwan suddenly had a foreboding feeling. Could the Death Rose’s mission be to destroy the Independent State?
“Modify the rules of the Independent State and seek revenge for the previous Eric,” North Star’s mother replied.
Ye Wanwan: “…”
At this moment, Ye Wanwan felt like crying without tears. This was not an opportunity but a hot potato. Modifying the rules and seeking revenge for the previous Eric? It was practically equivalent to annihilating the entire Independent State!
However, Ye Wanwan was now in a difficult position. She had agreed too straightforwardly earlier.
“Uh… Let’s not rush into this. We need a very detailed plan, and we must take our time to discuss it thoroughly,” Ye Wanwan said after pondering for a moment.
Her idea was to stabilize her current position since she held the supreme ring representing the Death Rose. Once that was secured, everything would be under her control.
It wasn’t about enjoying the privileges and evading responsibilities; it was just that wiping out the entire Independent State was simply impossible.
Did she have to eliminate the Nie family, Asura, Fearless Alliance, and everyone else? Besides, for now, she hadn’t really enjoyed any rights associated with the Death Rose.
Furthermore, Ye Wanwan had a lingering feeling that the situation might not be as simple as North Star’s mother had described. There might be hidden secrets that needed to be investigated first.
