Perfect Secret Love

Chapter 2229: The truth behind domination

"Of course," the elderly man replied. "Correspondingly, if you lose, you have to hand over that ring

which represents the supreme power in the Rose of Death to me."

The girl was silent for a moment before nodding and finally agreeing.

"Grandpa, be careful!"

The girl turned into a shadow and charged toward the elderly man with the dagger in hand.

However, the girl had just reached the elderly man when he attacked with his shoulder and slammed

the girl into the air.

After she stabilized herself, she didn't retreat and swung her dagger again to attack him.

"How about this if you can strike me within three blows, it'll be considered my loss." The elderly man

stood in his spot with his arms behind his back.

"Okay!" The girl agreed, her moves turning swifter and fiercer.

However, the first two moves were all easily broken by the elderly man. She didn't appear to have any

winning chance against Grandpa.

"You have one remaining chance," the elderly man declared coldly.

The girl gritted her teeth. She was well aware that she had to attack a third time or else... she would

lose without a doubt.

In the blink of an eye, the girl pulled off the ring from her finger and wanted to destroy it with the

dagger.

"You dare?!"

The elderly man grew furious and struck the girl, putting every bit of strength in his hand.

The elderly man was as fast as a breeze of wind, difficult to locate with the ***** eye.

In a fraction of second, the girl reflexively counterattacked with the dagger.

However, the elderly man suddenly stopped his ferocious attack a millisecond before his palm hit the

girl...

Under the girl's incredulous gaze, she couldn't control the dagger in her hand as she wanted and it

penetrated his chest.

Blood trailed down the dagger and dripped onto the ground.

The girl started shaking, her hold around the dagger loosening at once.

At that moment, feather-light and odd-sounding footsteps came from outside the door. Her mind turned

blank, and she immediately dashed outside without a clear direction.

...

The scene changed.

At some wild area in the Independent State:

"Worriless Nie... you killed Grandpa..."

Si Xia's figure was akin to a glacier. "My debt to Grandpa was heavier than a mountain. He raised me

to adulthood... and I hadn't had time to pay him back yet... and you killed him!"

"Grandpa's dead?!"

The girl's expression became terrified, and she frantically shook her head. "Impossible... Although I hurt

Grandpa with the dagger, it absolutely couldn't have been fatal with the condition of Grandpa's body!

Also, the dagger didn't pierce any vital spots, so how could Grandpa be dead?!"

She continued, "Si Xia, did you know Grandpa's plan? Why didn't you stop Grandpa?!"

"Worriless Nie, none of this is important anymore." Si Xia stared at the girl and knelt down in front of

her a second later. "Worriless Nie, back then, it was you and Grandpa who saved me, so I also owe

you a life."

As Si Xia spoke, he kowtowed three times to Ye Wanwan. "This time, I won't make you pay. Consider

this as me repaying you with your life... These three kowtows represent the severance of our ties."

The girl stood in her spot and didn't say anything.

"Worriless Nie, you're a traitor. You betrayed Grandpa and me. You could bear to even kill Grandpa, ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

who loves you the most. You aren't human you're a demon. You're a demon who climbed out from an

abyss," Si Xia declared coldly.

"Bullsh*t!" the girl screamed angrily.

"Heh..." Si Xia's lips turned up. "Do you know why Grandpa wanted to dominate the Twelve

Independent States and why Grandpa wanted to destroy the Arbitration Council?"

Si Xia continued, not giving the girl a chance to respond: "The Arbitration Council is extremely wary of

the Rose of Death, and the Arbitration Council knew the previous Black Widow was a distant relative of

the Nie family. Hence, the Arbitration Council laid pressure on Grandpa and made Grandpa eliminate

the Black Widow no matter what. Some time ago, Grandpa set up a plot and trapped Black Widow, and

she finally died in the Independent State. Originally, this matter would've been settled, but you you

accepted that d*mn ring!"
