Chapter 857: Thirteen’s Goal [Part 2]

"I have one goal in this lifetime," Thirteen stated. 

"The downfall of Aaron Ashford. Everything I do aligns with my goal. But that won't be all. I'm also preparing for the aftermath after I'm done with him."

Arthur's face turned solemn because he knew Zion was telling him the truth.

"So you want to bring down a Monarch while preparing for the possibility of failure, is that it?" Arthur asked.

"Failure?" The corner of Thirteen's lips curled up into a smile. "What failure are you talking about, Gramps?"

"Aaron alone is not a threat," Arthur replied. "The problem is… there are rumors he's the true leader of the other Monarch Clans, and they will move according to his wishes."

"That may have been true in the past, but things are different now," Thirteen commented. "The Elrod Clan and the Griffith Clan are fed up with this arrogance. The Remington Clan has always been neutral. Right now, only the Stallard Clan stands alongside the Ashford Clan.

"Even then, cracks are starting to form in their alliance. Just like Aaron, Norman Stallard also wants to become the de facto ruler of Pangea. Gramps, I'm telling you this so you won't have any misunderstanding.

"My goal is Aaron Ashford's death. As for the Ashford Clan? I don't really treat them as an enemy as a whole. The moment their Patriarch dies, their family would have no choice but to lower their heads and let the other Families take their place."

Thirteen eyed his grandfather, whose expression had become calmer after realizing his true goal.
