“In retrospect, achieving the independence of the twelve states up to this day hasn’t been easy. Even in these relatively peaceful times, there are reasons for the efforts of the Arbitration Council. How can we disrupt the peace of the twelve states just for personal gain, Xiao Xia?” The old man looked at Si Xia and said.
“Grandfather… What are you saying?” Si Xia couldn’t believe it. “This has been your goal and dream…”
However, the old man shook his head and said, “Actually, I’ve thought it through. Xiao Xia, look at me. My family is broken, my granddaughter opposes me, my grandson hates me, and in the end, I’ve suffered a lifetime of injuries. Do you want to end up like me?”
“No!” Si Xia shook her head vigorously. “I’ve worked so hard for so long, I’ve planned for so long. How can we just give up now? Grandfather, as long as you’re willing, we can immediately gain complete control of the independent state, then infiltrate the other eleven states. Even the Arbitration Council won’t be able to stop us then!”
To persuade her grandfather, Si Xia continued, “Moreover, Grandfather, if we don’t do this, the Arbitration Council’s tyrannical and inhumane rules will never be abolished. Don’t forget, Sister is the current leader of the Death Roses, and the Arbitration Council will never spare her!”
Throughout history, the leaders of the Death Roses have all aimed to overthrow the Arbitration Council and liberate the independent states, making them the top targets of the Arbitration Council’s crackdown.
The current leader of the Death Roses, Ye Wanwan, how could the Arbitration Council possibly spare her?
Madam Nie, who was on the side, immediately spoke up, “With us here, we will never let anyone harm Wanwan!”
Si Xia sneered, “Well, the Nie family may be the head of the four major families here, but do you think you can confront the Arbitration Council with just the Nie family?”
If it were possible, her grandfather wouldn’t have taken such extreme measures in the first place.
The old man sighed lightly and said, “Xiao Xia, the Arbitration Council has already revoked the kill order on Wanwan.”
Si Xia was stunned and frowned, “What?!”
“Otherwise, do you think… why hasn’t the Arbitration Council taken any action all these years, even though Wanwan has regained her identity?” the old man explained.
Si Xia said, “It’s impossible! The Arbitration Council would never spare her!”
The old man explained slowly, “Wanwan originally obtained that ring by accident. It’s just that the Arbitration Council never listened to any explanations and was determined to eradicate her. After all these years, with Wanwan gone for so long and no sign of the Death Roses resurging, a high-ranking member of the Arbitration Council acted as a guarantor for Wanwan and spared her life.”
The old man’s words surprised everyone present, including Ye Wanwan. She had no idea about all of this.
Someone within the Arbitration Council had guaranteed her life?
To have such authority, the position must be extremely high…
And such a guarantee came with joint responsibility. Who would risk their own life to make such a guarantee for her?
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!!!” Si Xia shouted in a somewhat frenzied manner.
Before Si Xia could react, a dark figure flashed before her eyes.
Suddenly, Si Ye Han appeared next to Si Xia.
“Smack.”
Before Si Xia could regain her senses, Si Ye Han delivered a resounding slap across her face.”
