Chapter 2254 - Can’t turn back anymore

2254 Can“t turn back anymore?

Even if they took thousands of steps back, the Twelve Independent States’ current state wasn’t easy. These fairly peaceful days were partially achieved through the Arbitration Council’s hard work, so how could she destroy the Twelve Independent States’ peace merely because of her selfishness?

“Xiao Xia, give up,” the elderly man advised Si Xia.

“Grandpa… What are you saying?” Si Xia was incredulous. “This was your goal and dream…”

However, the elderly man shook his head. “In truth, I’ve thought things through already. Xiao Xia, look at me. My family is in shambles, my granddaughter opposed me, my grandson hates me, and I ended up with a dilapidated body. Do you want to become like me?”

“No!” Si Xia shook his head. “I worked so hard for so long… I plotted for so long, so how could I give it all up at a whim? Grandpa, as long as you’re willing, we can immediately gain complete control over the Independent State then infiltrate the other eleven states. At that time, even the Arbitration Council couldn’t do anything about us!”

To persuade his grandpa, Si Xia hastily added, “Moreover, Grandpa, if we don’t do this, those tyrannical, unreasonable, and inhumane rules from the Arbitration Council won’t be eliminated! Don’t forget that Sister is the current leader of the Rose of Death! The Arbitration Council won’t spare her!”

The successive leaders of the Rose of Death all adhered to the goals of overthrowing the Arbitration Council and liberating the Independent State, so they were considered an evil cult by the Arbitration Council and were top targets for eradication.

Ye Wanwan was the current leader of this evil cult, so how could the Arbitration Council spare her?

Madam Nie immediately said, “We’re here! We absolutely won’t allow anyone to harm Wanwan!”

Si Xia snorted. “Heh, the Nie family might be the leader of the four great clans here, but do you think the Nie family alone can resist the Arbitration Council?”

If it was possible, Grandpa wouldn’t have staked everything on one throw and employed such a drastic method.

The elderly man sighed lightly and said, “Xiao Xia, the Arbitration Council has already rescinded its Absolute Kill Order against Worriless.”

Si Xia was startled, a deep frown taking over his face. “What?”

“Otherwise… why do you think the Arbitration Council hasn’t done anything despite Worriless having recovered her identity for so long?” the elderly man asked.

“Impossible! No way would the Arbitration Council spare her!”

The elderly man slowly explained, “It was an accident that Worriless obtained that ring from the start. It was just that the Arbitration Council wouldn’t listen to any explanations back then and adamantly wanted to eliminate the matter at its roots. After so many years passed, Worriless had disappeared for so long and the Rose of Death didn’t show any signs of resurging, a higher-up from the Arbitration Council was willing to be Worriless’s guarantor and protected Worriless’s life.”

Grandpa’s words surprised everyone present, including Ye Wanwan.

Ye Wanwan had no idea about all of this.

Someone from the Arbitration Council protected her life?

Someone who could have such enormous power definitely didn’t hold a low position.

Moreover, acting as her guarantor had responsibilities attached to that. Who would dare to use their life to vouch for her like this?

“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!!!” Si Xia madly screamed.

The elderly man grimly shook his head.

In the beginning, perhaps Si Xia’s goal was indeed about fulfilling his wish. But in the end, power had corroded his initial intentions.

He couldn’t turn back anymore.

Si Xia had just finished speaking when a black silhouette flashed by.

Si Yehan appeared in front of Si Xia.

Slap!

Before Si Xia could react, Si Yehan mercilessly backhanded his face.
