All of us are one

Chapter 111 Li Ang's Decision

The Divine Martial Kingdom is divided among many factions, and there are also hidden forces stirring up trouble in the shadows. A chaotic war could break out at any time, so it is definitely not a tourist destination.

"A car accident really injured you that badly?" Jiang Yanming asked.

"There was an overloaded truck coming from the opposite direction, and it ran a red light. Luckily, my car is sturdy enough." Li Ang patted his chest with lingering fear. The beautiful woman in white next to him hugged his left hand to comfort him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming looked at Li Kun, only to see the other party shake his head slightly, seemingly indicating that he should not reveal the truth.

Seeing this, Jiang Yanming nodded slightly, then said to Li Ang, "Upon learning of your serious car accident, we rushed to see you as soon as we returned to Xinyue City."

"Seeing that you're in good physical and mental condition, I'm relieved." Jiang Yanming turned and looked around before asking, "When did you move?"

"My grandfather gave it to me, saying I should recuperate here to avoid psychological trauma," Li Ang said helplessly. "It was just a car accident; I'm not that fragile."

At this point, Li Ang turned his head to look at the beautiful woman in white beside him, his eyes filled with love: "If it weren't for this car accident, I wouldn't have met Du Na."

"Hello." Du Na smiled and nodded to Jiang Yanming and the others.

"Duna is an intern at the hospital; they met there," Li Kun added.

Seeing that Li Ang's eyes were full of the women beside him, Jiang Yanming couldn't help but tease, "Is that so? This is what they mean by surviving a great calamity and being blessed with good fortune."

Judging from the current situation, Li Ang really likes Du Na; the love in his eyes is undeniable.

However, Jiang Yanming was not optimistic that the two could go all the way, because love is mutual, not to mention that Li Ang also had the obstacle of his family.

"Li Ang, have someone prepare some food, preferably a good feast," Li Kun said. "I've been on the ship for over a month, and I'd like to eat something nice."

"No problem." Li Ang nodded repeatedly. "Let's go in first."

So the group headed toward the villas inside the estate.

At this moment, Li Ang noticed Leng Tong and Wang Chen lagging behind, so he went to Jiang Yanming's side and asked in a low voice, "Aming, what's the background of those two people from the Divine Martial Kingdom?"

"The one on the left is Leng Tong, and the one on the right is Wang Chen. They are my father's subordinates in the Shenwu Kingdom," Jiang Yanming said casually. "They came to the Shenwu Kingdom with me this time to perform their duties in the Martial Arts Alliance."

"A member of the Martial Arts Alliance?" Li Ang asked in a low voice.

As he reunited with his maternal grandfather, he gradually came to know the true nature of the Four Nations Alliance and thus became aware of the existence of the Martial Arts Alliance.

"That's right." Jiang Yanming nodded.

"A figurehead or a powerful legislator?" Li Ang asked.

Martial artists at the Condensation Realm can become nominal councilors of the Martial Arts Alliance, but to truly wield power within the alliance, one needs a certain background and even greater strength.

"I don't know yet," Jiang Yanming shook his head.

As everyone entered the villa's living room, the young and beautiful Du Na whispered to Li Ang, "Honey, I'll go to the kitchen to make some arrangements. You stay with the family."

Compared to Du Na's enthusiasm, Li Ang expressed his feelings more subtly, simply nodding and saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

Everyone sat down. Because the living room was spacious, Leng Tong and Wang Chen sat on the sofa at a distance.

"Li Ang, have you ever thought about where you will live in the future?" Zhou Baizhan suddenly asked. "Your father is from the Divine Martial Kingdom, and you have lived in the Four Kingdoms Alliance since you were a child. Now you are also connected with your maternal grandfather's Carter family."

Li Kun frowned slightly upon hearing this, but did not say anything to stop him.

"I want to stay in the Four Kingdoms Alliance. I don't know much about the Divine Martial Kingdom, and I've heard that the people of the Divine Martial Kingdom are very xenophobic," Li Ang said softly.

"They are indeed xenophobic," Chen Moqun nodded.

"Since you want to stay in the Four Nations Alliance, are you prepared to live under someone else's roof, relying on your grandfather's love and care forever?" Zhou Baizhan said meaningfully. "If your grandfather passes away, do you think you'll still be receiving the same treatment?"

Li Ang fell silent upon hearing this, clearly indicating that he had considered the issue.

"Brother Zhou, do you want Li Ang to inherit the Carter family?" Li Kun asked, frowning.

"Yes, this is in the interest of the Divine Martial Kingdom." Zhou Baizhan nodded in agreement. "And it is also in the interest of Li Ang. In the future, he will be able to live a wealthy life without worrying about being kicked out."

Li Kun frowned and remained silent. This was different from his desire for simple revenge. He did not want Li Ang to get involved in the conflict between the Divine Martial Kingdom and the Four Nations Alliance, especially in the shareholding disputes of such important enterprises as military technology.

"Li Ang, what are you thinking?" Jiang Yanming asked.

He wanted to put Li Ang in the position of head of the Carter family, and since Uncle Zhou's idea coincided with his, he naturally cooperated fully.

"Was my car accident caused by someone?" Li Ang suddenly asked.

No one answered; instead, they all turned to look at Li Kun, because they had all received a hint earlier.

"Father." Li Ang also looked at Li Kun.

"The car accident was man-made," Li Kun sighed and nodded.

"Then..." Li Ang's hand trembled slightly, "What about Duna?"

Li Ang wasn't stupid. He had already suspected that the car accident was arbitrarily caused, otherwise his grandfather wouldn't have arranged for him to recuperate at the manor. And when Uncle Zhou said he wanted to push him to the top, it confirmed his suspicion that the car accident was arbitrarily caused.

What truly worries him is his lover, Du Na. If even Du Na is someone else's doing, he can't even imagine what kind of revenge he might take!

"I don't know, you'll have to experience it for yourself." Li Kun shook his head slightly.

It's not appropriate for him, as a father, to interfere in matters of the heart. It's better to let Li Ang make his own judgment, since Li Ang has the resources to make mistakes.

Li Ang remained silent upon hearing this, and after a moment he suddenly spoke solemnly: "I am willing to compete for the position of heir to the Carter family. Please help me, Uncle Zhou and Uncle Chen."

"Since you're willing to fight for it, we'll help you," Zhou Baizhan said with a smile. "You should continue your recuperation. Brother Li will stay with you, and I'll have him contact you when the time is right."

"I've discussed the plan with Brother Jiang, and he agreed," Zhou Baizhan said, turning to Li Kun. "Now it's up to you, Brother Li."

"You've all made the arrangements, how could I possibly object?" Li Kun could only nod. "I will protect Li Ang's safety."

"Thank you, Father." Li Ang's voice was somewhat low.

"Sigh, as long as you don't regret it," Li Kun sighed softly.

"I think... no." Li Ang nodded solemnly, then turned to Jiang Yanming and said, "Aming, thank you and Uncle Jiang for your help as well."

"No trouble at all," Jiang Yanming nodded with a smile.

This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Li Ang's car accident can serve as the starting point for his investigation into the anti-Shenwu Kingdom forces. Following this line of inquiry might uncover useful information, although it's also possible that this line of inquiry has been cleared away beforehand.

Even if no valuable clues are found, helping Li Ang gain control of the Carter family would still be beneficial to the Shenwu Kingdom.

……

After having a meal at the manor, Chen Moqun, Zhou Baizhan, and the others prepared to return to Moon Island.

Jiang Yanming had contacted Arthur and Lucy and they would be having afternoon tea at Lucy's house, since the estate was very close to the Long Island neighborhood.

Just as Jiang Yanming was about to leave the manor, Li Ang found him...
