Chapter 1006 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âOh? And whatâs with the Celestial Pearl?â Ronald looked back. He was confused. âUncle Reeds, we had risked our lives to get the pearl. It belongs to us, to begin with. Theyâre the ones who want to snatch it from us!â Abigail explained.
âNonsense! Weâre doing this for the martial world! Unlike you, who are only after personal gain,â Theodore said righteously.
âSir Reeds, they harbor ulterior motives! Look at how selfish they are! They donât even care about the alliance. They should be severely punished!â Graham added.
âThose who connect with evil entities certainly donât have a clean mind,â Orson remarked.
At this moment, the three grandmasters had abandoned their earlier aggressive stance. They pretended to be righteous in front of Ronald.
âWhat a bunch of hypocrites! Stop throwing mud at us!â Abigail was annoyed.
It was clearly them who wanted to seize the pearl, yet they had the nerve to speak with such
righteousness!
âTheyâre distorting facts!â she muttered inwardly.
âEnough!â Ronald raised his hand to stop their argument.
âWho have the Celestial Pearl now?â he asked coldly.
âItâs inside my dadâs stomach.â
Abigail continued to explain, âMy dad was gravely poisoned while trying to save them. These
monsters knew he needed the pearl to treat the poison. And yet, they still insisted on taking it
from us.
âThey didnât care about my dadâs condition! They are truly heartless!â
Ronaldâs expression darkened. âIs that so?â
âSir Reeds, the Celestial Pearl is a sacred relic of the martial world. Weâre just worried that it might
be desecrated by Michael!â Theodore argued.
âThatâs right! The pearl will be ruined if it gets contaminated by the poison in Michaelâs body,â
âShut up!â Ronald shouted.
âThe pearl is indeed important, but itâs nothing compared to Michaelâs life. You are all prominent figures in the martial world. How can you do something like this?â
He warned, âGet out of my sight right now! Or face my wrath!â
âSir Reedsâ¦â
âDo I have to repeat myself?â
Theodore wanted to say something. However, he fell into silence in an instant. Ronald had shot a sharp glare at him.
Among the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno, Ronald was the strongest.
Theodore and the rest couldnât even defeat Michael when they teamed up, let alone take down Ronald. Although they were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to swallow their displeasure.
âLetâs leave!â Theodore frowned and stepped away from the place.
âDamn! What bad luck!â Graham gritted his teeth and left with the disciples of the Soul Reapers.
âI hope that you can repress the evil relic for the betterment of the people. Iâll be taking my leave
now.â Orson bowed slightly and walked away.
Although the three of them had their own motives, they dared not play any tricks in front of
Ronald.
âLetâs go. Thereâs nothing more to watch.â
âMy trip here has gone in vain! I didnât even manage to get anything!â
âStop whining. Weâre already lucky enough to survive the miasma earlier.â
Soon, the rest of the martial artists dispersed.
After most of them had left, Ronald turned around and helped Michael up.
âMichael, are you okay? Can you hold on?â he asked with concern.
âIâm fine. Itâs just poison. Iâll recover in a few days.â Michael shook his head.
âStop putting on a front, Mr. Robinson. Song of Hell is not easy to detoxify. If it wasnât because of the pearl, I might not have been able to save you,â Dustin said solemnly.
Each of the top ten deadliest poisons was extremely terrifying. Even grandmasters would have a hard time withstanding it.
They were lucky to have the pearl to ward off the disaster.
