"Of course," the elderly man said. "But on the other hand, if you lose, you have to hand over the ring that represents the highest authority in the Rose of Death to me."
The girl was silent for a moment before finally nodding and agreeing.
"Grandpa, be careful!"
With a dagger in hand, the girl transformed into an afterimage and charged toward the elderly man at an extremely fast speed.
However, as soon as the girl reached the elderly man, the elderly man used his shoulder as an attack and knocked the girl into the air in an instant.
After the girl steadied herself, she advanced instead of retreating and brandished her dagger again, attacking the elderly man.
"How about this? As long as you can exchange three moves with me, it'll be considered my loss." The elderly man looked at the girl and stood in the garden with his hands behind his back.
"Okay!" The girl agreed and her moves became fiercer.
However, the elderly man couldn't easily resolve her first two moves, so she had almost no hope of winning against Grandpa.
"You have one last chance," the elderly man said coldly.
The girl gritted her teeth. She understood very well that she couldn't use a third move or else … she would lose without a doubt.
The girl instantly took out the ring on her finger and wanted to destroy it with her dagger.
"You dare?!"
The elderly man was enraged and slammed his palm toward the girl with nearly all his strength.
The elderly man's speed was extremely fast like a gust of wind, hard to follow with the naked eye.
In a flash, the girl reflexively picked up her dagger and counterattacked.
However, when the elderly man's swift and fierce palm was about to strike the girl, he suddenly stopped his attack …
Under the girl's incredulous gaze, the dagger in her hand couldn't be retracted and released as freely as the elderly man could, and it instantly pierced into the elderly man's chest.
Blood dripped down the dagger and onto the ground.
The girl trembled all over and immediately let go of the dagger.
At that moment, the sound of extremely light and strange footsteps came from outside the door. The girl's mind went blank and she immediately bolted out the door, disappearing without a trace.
…
The scene changed.
In a certain wilderness in the Independent State:
"Worriless Nie … You killed Grandpa …"
Si Xia was like a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice. "I owe Grandpa a mountain of gratitude and he raised me into adulthood … I didn't even have time to be filial … but you killed him!"
"Grandpa is dead?!"
The girl's expression was horrified. She shook her head frantically. "That's impossible … Although I used a dagger to injure Grandpa, with Grandpa's physique, it's definitely not fatal. Moreover, the dagger didn't pierce any vital parts, so how could Grandpa die?!"
"Si Xia, you know Grandpa's plan? Why didn't you stop Grandpa?! "the girl continued.
"Worriless Nie, this is no longer important." Si Xia stared at the girl. In the next second, he knelt beside her. "Worriless Nie, it was you and grandfather who saved me back then. I also owe you a life."
Si Xia kowtowed three times to Ye Wanwan. "I won't make things difficult for you this time. Consider it as me returning your life to you … These three kowtows represent the severing of our ties."
The girl stood in place, not saying a word.
"Nameless Nie, you're a traitor! You betrayed Grandpa and me! You even had the heart to harm Grandpa, who loved you the most! You're not human! You're a demon! You're a demon that crawled out from the abyss!" Si Xia said coldly.
"Bullsh * t!" the girl angrily shouted.
"Heh …" Si Xia's lips turned up. "Do you know why Grandpa wants to dominate the Twelve Independent States and why he wants to destroy the Arbitration Council?"
Si Xia didn't give the girl a chance to speak and continued, "The Arbitration Council is rather wary of the Rose of Death, and the Arbitration Council knows the previous Black Widow was a distant relative of the Nie family. Hence, the Arbitration Council pressured Grandpa to eliminate Black Widow no matter what method Grandpa used. Some time ago, Grandpa schemed and trapped Black Widow, causing her to die in the Independent State. This matter should've been resolved, but you accepted that d * mn ring!"
