"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..."
