Noong nakaraang buwan, nagpatupad ng Seven Kill Order ang Fearless Alliance sa anim na ibat-ibanh martial arts patrician families. Ang lahat ng nakatanggap ng Seven Kill Order na mula sa Fearless Alliance ay mapapatay sa loob lamang ng pitong araw nang walang kabiguan. Sa ngayon, apat na pamilya na ang pinatay ng Fearless Alliance, dalawa na lamang ang natitira.
"Ey… Why doesn't the Martial Arts Union eliminate a power like the Fearless Alliance… They're simply a pest!"
"Ey… bakit hindi kayang tanggalan ng kapangyarihan ng Martial Arts Uniom ang Fearless Alliance… mga peste lang naman sila!"
"Eliminate? How could they? The Independent State doesn't have a rule or law about this. The Fearless Alliance didn't use any firearms or disobey the Union's rules. According to the Fearless Alliance, this was a personal enmity, so the Martial Arts Union can't manage it. Anyway, who'd be willing to provoke the Fearless Alliance?"
"Tanggalan ng kapangyarihan? Paano? Walang batas ang Independent State tungkol dito. Hindi gumamit ng mga baril at hindi tumaliwas sa batas ng Union ang Fearless Alliance. Ayon sa Fearless Alliance, isang personal na galit ito, kaya hindi ito pwedeng pakialaman ng Martial Arts Union. At tsaka, sino ba anh magtatangkang kalabanin ang Fearless Alliance?"
"The members of the Fearless Alliance are all fugitives, and they're a bunch of lunatics who don't care about their lives! Do you believe that if the Martial Arts Union dared to stick their nose in the Fearless Alliance's business, the Fearless Alliance wouldn't dare to wage a war with the Martial Arts Union?!"
"Mga kriminal ang mga miyembro ng Fearless Alliance, mga abnormal ang mga iyon na walang pakialam sa buhay mga tao! Naniniwala ka ba na gugustuhing pakialaman nh Martial Arts Union ang tungkulin ng Fearless Alliance, sa tingin mo ba ay hindi gegerahin nh Fearless Alliance ang Martial Arts Union?!"
Ye Wanwan stood on the side and was rather interested at the mention of the Fearless Alliance. She recalled the strong men she encountered in China.
Nanatiling nakatayo sa isang gilid si Ye Wan Wan, interesado siya nang mabanggit ang Fearless Alliance. Natandaan niya ang malalakas na lalaki na nakaharap niya sa China.
Those strong men used to be members of the Fearless Alliance but were expelled because they spared a dog or something like that…
Miyembro ang mga lalaking iyon ng Fearless Alliance ngunit pinatalsik sila dahil hinayaan nilang makawala ang isang aso...
After Ye Wanwan eavesdropped on the talk around her, she gained a basic understanding of the Independent State's current situation.
Pagkatapos makinig ni Ye Wan Wan ng tsismis, natuto siya ng kaunti tungkol sa sitwasyon ngayon ng Independent State.
On the surface, the most powerful factions in the Independent State were the four great martial-arts patrician clans—Nie, Ji, Ling, Shen—who controlled nearly half the Independent State's resources. These four great clans were the tyrants of the Independent State on the surface, and everyone knew about them.
Sa ngayon, ang pinakamalakas na paksyon sa Independent State ay ang apat na dakilang martial arts patrician clans– Nie, Ji, Ling, Shen– na kontrolado ang halos kalahati ng resources ng buong Independent State. Mga malulupit na pinuno ang apat na dakilang clans ng Independent State, at kilala sila ng lahat.
Amongst them, the Ji family was a bit unique in that the heir of the Ji family was also the emperor of Europe's entire underworld.
Bukod tangi sa kanilang lahat ang Ji family at ang tagapamana ng Ji family ay emperor ng buong underworld ng Europe.
Of course, the four great clans were merely the tyrannical patrician families of the Independent State on the surface. There were also many hidden and mysterious ancient martial-arts patrician families secluded from the world.
Syempre, mukha man isang malupit na mamumuno ang apat na dakilang clans sa Independent State. Marami pang tinatagong mga misteryosong makalumang martial-arts patrician families na hindi nagpapakita sa mundo.
There was also an official faction in the Independent State aside from the four great clans. All of the rules were established by this official faction—the Martial Arts Union!
May official faction rin ang Independent State maliban pa sa apat na dakilang clans. Ang lahat ng batas ay ginawa ng official faction na ito – sila ang Martial Arts Union!
The Martial Arts Union was responsible for menial duties like evicting outsiders and checking permits. Even the four great clans couldn't shake the position of the Martial Arts Union.
Responsable rin ang Martial Arts Union sa mga masahol sa trabaho tulad ng pagpapatalsik ng mga dayuhan at pag-check ng permits. Kahit ang apat na dakilang clans ay hindi kayang tanggalin sa posisyon ang Martial Arts Union.
Aside from the martial-arts patrician families, the most distinguished part of the Independent State was the Mercenary Academy.
Maliban sa martial arts patrician families, ang pinakamahusay pa na parte dito ay ang Mercenary Academy ng Independent State.
The Mercenary Academy was completely different from schools in normal countries. The Mercenary Academy trained cold and heartless mercenary experts. Many mercenaries higher than level S—AKA the legendary mercenaries on the international mercenary chart—were trained by the Independent State's Mercenary Academy.
Malaki ang pinagkaiba ng Mercenary Academy sa mga eskwelahan ng ibang bansa. Sinanay ng Mercenary Academy ang mga masasahol at walang puso na mga eksperto na mersenaryo. Maraming mersenaryo na mas mataas pa sa levek S – o mas kilala pa sa tawag na legendary mercenaries sa international mercenary chart– ay sinanay ng Mercenary Academy ng Independent State.
After gaining a basic understanding of the Independent State's situation, Ye Wanwan couldn't help but marvel at the Independent State. The Independent State was probably an utterly unique entity in the entire world.
Pagkatapos niyang matutunan ang mga bagay na ito tungkol sa sitwasyon sa Independent State, biglang siyang namangha sa lugar na ito. Ang Independent State na siguro ang bukod tangi na bansa sa buong mundo.
Ye Wanwan suddenly realized that there was a family surnamed Nie among the four great tyrannical martial-arts patrician families of the Independent State…
Biglang napagtanto ni Ye Wan Wan na may pamilyang may apelyidong Nie na kasama sa apat na patrician families sa Independent State...
She wondered whether the Nie patrician family had anything to do with Nameless Nie.
Naisip niya kung may kinalaman ba ang Nie patrician family kay Nameless Nie.
However, no one would probably believe her if she said Nameless Nie and his group had anything to do with the Nie family based on their impoverished looks.
Gayunpaman, walang sino man ang maniniwala sa kanya na si Nameless Nie at ang grupo niya ay may kinalaman sa Nie family dahil sa marumi nilang itsura.
Ye Wanwan didn't think too much about it though. Even if Nameless Nie was related to the Nie family, it sounded like something from a fairytale for her to come into contact with someone on the Nie family's level.
Hindi ito masyadong inisip ni Ye Wan Wan. Kahit na kamag-anak ni Nameless Nie ang Nie family, parang mula sa pantasya lamang ito sa kanya na makausap niya ang isang tao na nasa lebel ng Nie family.
A tyrannical patrician family of the Independent State couldn't be visited by just anyone.
Hindi kaagad mabibisita ng kahit sino ang isang malupit na pinuna na patrician family ng Independent State.
