Ye Wanwan lay in bed. Tonight felt like a dream.

Somehow, she discovered the origin of the ring. Somehow, she became Eric and learned about parts of the Rose of Death's past.

She was in great emotional turmoil. She hadn't had time to digest everything yet.

What path should I take in the future?

In truth, the life she wanted was very simple—being with Ah-Jiu and Tangtang and leading an ordinary and steady life together as a family…

That would be perfect.

Unfortunately, reality wasn't allowing her!

Forget the fact that she was the freaking president of the Fearless Alliance. Now, she also became the freaking top leader of the Rose of Death and had to freaking shoulder so many responsibilities and missions. Did they think she was Superwoman?!

Didn't they say a person's responsibility increased with their capabilities? Did the heavens have some misunderstanding regarding her capabilities?

Ye Wanwan really considered this ring to be a hot potato. However, regardless of how boiling hot it was, she had to hold onto it and couldn't throw it away.

It wasn't that she wanted to possess the supreme power of the Rose of Death.

But if she relinquished this ring, what if her successor wanted to complete the mission? If her successor summoned the Rose of Death's main force and attacked the Independent State…

That image was too unbearable…

Hence, no matter what, the ring could only be hers.

As long as she didn't agree, the Rose of Death wouldn't act recklessly since she was their new leader.

Ye Wanwan pondered whether she could borrow the Rose of Death's strength to attack the supposed Direct Line or not…

Before she could think any further, her phone screen lit up.

Ye Wanwan had turned off her phone's sound and vibration earlier, so there was only a display notification.

Ye Wanwan picked up her phone and saw it was Nameless Nie calling.

"You better not be looking for me to strike a business deal this late at night."

That was the first thing she said when she picked up the call.

"Ay, darling sister, I didn't call to talk business with you! Freaking… Nie Linglong is back! Did you know?!"

Nameless Nie sounded emotional from his anger.

"Nie Linglong is back…"

Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows. Nie Linglong's ident.i.ty was clearly exposed already, yet she still dared to return to the Nie family shamelessly…

It had to be said that Nie Linglong's tactics were noteworthy indeed and couldn't be underestimated.

"Calm down. Tell me slowly," Ye Wanwan replied.

"Tell you slowly? Slow your a**! My mercenaries told me about what happened already! That little b*tch! No, I have to break her arms and legs!" Nameless Nie yelled.

"You can't," Ye Wanwan interrupted him immediately.

"I can't? Why not?" Nameless Nie was startled.

"What right do you have to break her arms and legs? If you claim she's colluding with the Direct Line, do you have evidence?" Ye Wanwan countered.

"Why don't I have evidence? My people saw it, and didn't one of your Fearless Alliance elders also see it?" Nameless Nie replied.

"So what?" Ye Wanwan coldly said. "Don't forget that Nie Linglong is one of the candidates for the next family head of the Nie family. I'm a compet.i.tor and you're a compet.i.tor that Nie Linglong knocked out. You and I are real siblings. Do you think those elders and higher-ups of the Nie family would believe groundless words from us? If you act now, the higher-ups would say we're using underhanded tactics to slander Nie Linglong instead."

The Nie family didn't belong to one person. For a matter like electing a family head, even if it was Patriarch Nie and Madam Nie, they had to discuss it with the elders and higher-ups and elect one person.
