“Grandpa, is what you’re saying all there is?” the girl inquired.

Grandpa’s ambitions were truly too great. He absolutely wouldn’t be doing all this just to take over the Independent State.

The elderly man sank into silence. A while later, he finally responded, “Worriless, Grandpa’s objective wasn’t just the Independent State naturally…”

“Just what in the world are you trying to do, Grandpa?” The girl realized that the grandpa in front of her had suddenly turned into a stranger.

“I want to rule over the Twelve Independent States and drive out or destroy the Arbitration Council,” the elderly man answered.

“I understand.” Ye Wanwan nodded. “Grandpa… You want… to turn the Twelve Independent States into one country… Grandpa, you… you want to become the emperor!”

“Is that bad?” the elderly man asked. “Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has been venerated. Grandpa’s old, so how many more years can I live? It will all belong to you in the future.”

“Grandpa, I don’t want it… I’m not interested! My biggest wish is for our family to live safely and harmoniously together. Domination, Son of Heaven, Emperor—I’m not interested in any of that!” The girl frantically shook her head. “Grandpa, stop this mistake!”

“Mistake?” The elderly man frowned deeply. “Are you saying Grandpa has made a mistake?”

“That’s right!” the girl firmly insisted.

“Then tell me—what mistake did Grandpa make?” The elderly man looked at the girl. “An achiever doesn’t bother with trifles. Since ancient times, countless achievers stepped across piles of skeletons to ascend to the peak. Did they all make a mistake?”

Before the girl had a chance to respond, the elderly man continued, “If Grandpa governed the Twelve Independent States, things would only improve.”

The girl wanted to say something but couldn’t find a good rebuttal.

The girl didn’t think the Twelve Independent States would decline under Grandpa’s governance, considering his abilities. The girl also believed it would only improve if Grandpa governed it.

But…

The price for it was too great…

And the people who would be sacrificed included her family.

“These past few years, the Arbitration Council held iron control over the Twelve Independent States and ruled over it without dissent. They can’t provide the freedom that Grandpa wants, so Grandpa has to take it himself. Your parents are disloyal and dishonest and don’t deserve to be people. They’ve never taken care of you since you were young, and it was Grandpa who raised you, grain by grain. Now, you want to turn your back on Grandpa for those parents who never cared about you?” The elderly man’s brows furrowed deeply.

“Grandpa… I know you haven’t done anything wrong…” The girl stared at the elderly man. “From your viewpoint and position, you have your reasons and there aren’t any issues with destroying the four great clans… But from my position, I’m not wrong either. Regardless of whether they’ve cared for me and regardless of whether I hold affections toward them, they are my parents after all, and I’m just a normal person. I don’t have Grandpa’s great ambitions and lofty aspirations. I will return to the Nie residence now. If Grandpa wants to bomb it, then you will have to bomb me along with it.”

After saying that, the girl turned to leave.

“Stop right there!”

The elderly man blocked her path immediately. “Why do you have to make Grandpa worry?! You’re my granddaughter. Grandpa wouldn’t harm you even if it meant I died, don’t you understand?!”

“But… what about my parents…? They’re also Grandpa’s children,” the girl said.

“Shut up!” The elderly man’s face filled with rage. “They don’t deserve to live!”
