Chapter 2226 The zenith of power

“How many times have I told you? They aren’t your parents! They aren’t worthy!” The elderly man shouted harshly, “Why do you care for disloyal and dishonest people like them?!”

“Grandpa, I know what happened between you and Dad and Mom, and they were in the wrong, but so many years have passed. I believe they also want to sincerely apologize to you… Grandpa, let’s go home, alright? Let’s go to the Nie residence and reunite with Dad, Mom, and Brother… If we’ve lost even our home, what point is there for you to dominate the entire Independent State?!” The girl looked distressed.

She didn’t know why her grandpa would have this kind of ambition and why he wasn’t satisfied by his position as the President of the Martial Arts Union. He actually wanted to dominate and rule over the entire Independent State…

The Martial Arts Union’s power was above the four great clans and was merely beneath the collateral ancient clans. Wasn’t this enough?

“Grandpa, what’s so good about dominating the Independent State? The zenith of power… will make people lose their reason…” the girl advised earnestly.

“Domination…” The elderly man’s eyes sparkled with an indescribable light.

The elderly man turned to the girl. “Worriless, do you know what the zenith of power is…? It’s freedom.”

“Grandpa, aren’t we free right now? We can do whatever we want, so why must we reach the zenith of power?” The girl couldn’t understand.

“Freedom isn’t doing whatever you want.” The elderly man shook his head. “True freedom isn’t doing whatever you don’t want to do.”

“Grandpa, you’re speaking too profoundly. I don’t understand,” the girl responded. “Even so, why do we need so many sacrifices? Why does it have to be the four great clans? Moreover, if you really did this, Grandpa, the Arbitration Council absolutely wouldn’t let you go…”

“The Arbitration Council?” The elderly man mockingly chuckled. “Every state in the Twelve Independent States is under the Arbitration Council’s governance, but what have they contributed to the Twelve Independent States? Why do they get the say in every state’s rules and systems?”

“Um…” The girl was at a loss for words.

“Worriless, remember, aside from dominating the entire Independent State, Grandpa also wants to completely lockdown the Independent State and seclude it from the world so that the Arbitration Council can’t interfere with anything in our Independent State anymore,” the elderly man calmly said.

The girl didn’t object to this.

If Grandpa really started implementing his plan, he’d definitely succeed.

He had purchased a lot of weapons and explosives from the outside world, so the Arbitration Council would be at the end of their tether even if they wanted to interfere at that time.

“Anyway, Ji Xiuran, that b*stard abandoned you too, so I’ll bomb the Ji family too! I’ll turn the four great clans into ash!” The elderly man’s eyes shimmered coldly.

“No… Grandpa, you absolutely can’t!” The girl looked resolute.

“Hmph, why can’t I? If that b*stard comes here right now and kowtows and apologizes to you, I might consider sparing his life. Is my granddaughter a person other people can bully however they want?!” the elderly man yelled.

“Grandpa, you purchased a lot of explosives saying you wanted to annihilate the four great clans, but in truth, you wanted to intimidate people… The ancient clans have the advantage in numbers and are divided into the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch. Grandpa, you want to use the destruction of the four great clans to intimidate the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch and make them submit to you…” The girl’s voice wavered as she spoke.

“Worriless, you’re right.” The elderly man didn’t deny it and nodded. “The Direct Line and the Collateral Branch are considered the strongest fighting forces in the Independent State. As long as they submit to Grandpa, help Grandpa resist the Arbitration Council and we use Grandpa’s supply of weapons, we can lock the Arbitration Council out and keep the entire Independent State under lockdown. From then on, Grandpa will determine every rule in the Independent State.”
