Chapter 1251: Chapter 630: What a Coincidence_2

"Yes. When it comes to safety, your place is definitely safer. I really can’t figure out, clearly, China is already so powerful and capable of maintaining regional stability. Why cling so tightly to that thing?"

Sean Knight thought to himself, do you think the 5,000 years of history we have gone through mean nothing?

If China wants to reach the pinnacle of the world, using the wisdom handed down from our ancestors, we should only strike with lethal force when absolutely necessary and when our strength is unmatched.

Right now, let’s not risk it when things are evenly matched.

There’s not much time left to develop peacefully; I haven’t even sorted out my own issues. Why should I risk meddling in other people’s affairs?

When we were on the brink of being annihilated, we were in a much worse situation than some nations are today!

No nation’s rise or development is likely to be smooth sailing—we’re not the almighty, after all, managing everything.

"By the way, Aria, whenever you have a moment, could you talk to Tahali," Abdullah remembered something and said to Aria Wilson, "She’s been getting quite close to Pang Du recently. Pang Du is not a good influence, his whole Family is involved in shady dealings. The Elders Council will never allow his daughter to marry a man from such a Family.

Moreover, Pang Du is a playboy, and his approach toward Tahali carries some ulterior motives; advise her to be cautious."

Sean didn’t expect Abdullah to be concerned with such matters. Perhaps that’s just royal family business then.

Aria nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll talk to her when I get the chance."

After leaving the Royal City and returning to Villa, Aria said to Sean,

"Dear, I want to go to China. There’s too much going on here, and it’s really upsetting."

"Then let’s go," Sean also knew that it’s best for a pregnant woman not to bother with the affairs of others. Aria, being generally kindhearted, could easily empathize too deeply with others, leading to emotional changes that could trigger depression.

While they were discussing when to leave, Tahali came to visit.

This beautiful girl took Sean’s spot immediately, her face full of worry as she clung to Aria’s arm, complaining about her own House,

"They won’t let me be with Pang Du, telling me he has ill intentions and is not approaching me with the purpose of marriage. I don’t believe it... Pang Du has been so sincere to me, and based on his recent behavior, he doesn’t seem to harbor any malice; he is very caring toward me..."

Aria didn’t know what to say. Caught between her best friend and her brother, it was difficult to offer any advice.

Moreover, she was happy herself and naturally hoped her friends would be happy too.

Helplessly, she turned her gaze to Sean.

Tahali also looked at Sean, complaining,

"Why can they accept Mr. Knight but not Pang Du?"

Of course, Sean couldn’t leave this tricky question to Aria, so he said slowly,

"Don’t compare me with Pang Du just yet. Not to boast, but at least I have the strength that makes Abdullah believe I can adequately protect Aria.

"With my strength, both Abdullah and your Elders can see that marrying Aria is not for her dowry or for power."

That point was indeed real. Even Tahali had to admit that ordinarily, princess-like figures like themselves were essentially deemed to be "marrying beneath them," but with Sean Knight, the whole Royal Family had no grounds for such a claim.

Firstly, Sean’s wealth, although saying as rich as a nation might be an exaggeration, definitely surpassed that of the Elders.

As for strength, that Large Oilfield and the composite brigade he had casually assembled had already silenced the other Elders.

In fact, with Sean’s current prestige within the upper echelons of the Kingdom, becoming an elder would be a cinch, and the other members of the Elders Council would welcome it.

While there are some who surreptitiously say that the commander of the composite brigade is Chinese and not to be trusted,

everyone knows very well that as long as this brigade is there, not just the neighboring countries but even other major world powers would have to think twice before messing with the Kingdom.

This isn’t just a Dinghai Shenpin, at the very least it’s a Kingdom Defender.

Having established this, who could still be dissatisfied with Sean?

Of course, what makes all these royal sisters envious is Sean’s attitude toward Aria; he never treats her like a vase.

From what Aria has shared about her life in China and the Photos she has sent, it’s clear that she is the main wife in Sean’s Home.

Which of these royal girls wouldn’t be envious?

So although Sean seemed to be joking when he said such things, Tahali found it completely plausible.

Although she also thought Pang Du was decent, he still fell short when compared with Sean.

She only made her previous statement because both Sean and Pang Du were foreigners.

Sean continued,

"Actually, if you truly want to be with Pang Du, there is a way."

"What way?" Tahali’s eyes lit up as she eagerly asked, "Quick, tell me!"

"Elope with him," Sean said, startling Tahali!

"What?"

"Absolutely not!"

Tahali and Aria both spoke out one after the other with different reactions.

Sean smiled but remained silent.

"Actually..." Tahali hesitated for a moment, then said to Aria, "I have actually considered doing that."

"No way!" Aria was very firm, "Pang Du isn’t worth it!"
