Chapter 2250 Audacious trump card The Direct Line Clan Leader yelled, “Are you done wasting our time? What can you do with your group alone? Do you think you can be enemies of the whole Independent State?!” The Jiang clan exchanged looks with the people from the Collateral Branch and went to attack. However, Elder Xue’s expression shifted. “Don’t act rashly! There are explosives!” Everyone was shocked. “The Martial Arts Union… buried explosives everywhere beforehand! And they have heavy weapons!” Elder Xue explained hastily. “Are you telling the truth?” a higher-up from the collateral ancient clans questioned. “Nonsense—would I joke about this kind of matter?!” Elder Xue looked anxious. “They made preparations ahead of time!” Before the collateral ancient clans could respond, Si Xia whistled. Instantly, dozens of elite members of the Martial Arts Union appeared around them with heavy weapons in hand. “You’re mad!” Jiang Ying screamed. “I was a madman to begin with… So what is it? If you don’t submit, I’ll destroy you,” Si Xia said. “Aren’t… aren’t you afraid of the Arbitration Council’s punishment?!” a higher-up from the Collateral Branch asked Si Xia. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 “The Arbitration Council?” Si Xia was derisive. “Don’t be impatient. After I dominate the Independent State, I’ll expand toward the other eleven states, and in the end, I’ll eradicate the Arbitration Council and replace them.” “You… you’re a lunatic and delusional!!!” Jiang Ying rebuked furiously. “Whether I’m delusional or not, I don’t need you to waste time here. Of course, if you all don’t agree, I can bomb you all into smithereens.” Si Xia smiled. Ye Wanwan was pensive as she stared at Si Xia. Is he… carrying out Grandpa’s wish when he was alive…? She finally understood something. Si Xia previously captured those leaders of the Independent State to that remote island in order to bomb them. If things were like that though, what storm could a lone commander like him wage… “I’ve planted explosives around everyone’s headquarters. How about I let everyone see some action first?” Si Xia mocked. “Don’t! My wife and children are there!” A leader turned deathly pale. Every single one of these Martial Arts Union members held a heavy weapon in hand. If Si Xia was claiming hee planted explosives, it was most likely the truth! Moreover, various faction leaders were hoping to be lucky and didn’t participate in the war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch this time. If this lunatic detonated the explosives… the consequences were unthinkable! “Si Xia, there are still people in many of the headquarters. If you bomb those headquarters…” Ye Wanwan stared at Si Xia, her brows locked together. Si Xia shook his head and interrupted her: “That has nothing to do with me. I previously imprisoned these people on the island, but you just had to rescue them. Even if some people die from this, it’s because of you. I’m not to blame.” “D*mn, I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you? You can shift the blame like this?” Big Dipper cursed. Nameless Nie looked at Ye Wanwan. “Did you use the ring to summon the members of the Rose of Death?” Ye Wanwan shook her head and quietly replied, “No… The Arbitration Council loathes the Rose of Death so much. If I summoned the members of the Rose of Death, wouldn’t it be the same as slamming myself into the end of a gun… If the Arbitration Council learned about it, they’d probably pursue me vehemently again.” Moreover, after Si Yehan learned about the origin of the ring, he warned her multiple times to not mobilize the Rose of Death’s power during this war.
