Chapter 1011 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âHuh?â Theodore, Graham, and Orson instinctively took several steps back, their expressions changing drastically. At this moment, they could feel the looming presence of death. A shiver ran down their spines, and they broke into a cold sweat.
If Michael executed this move of his, even if the three of them survived, they were doomed to be gravely injured. âSir Robinson, youâd better not do anything reckless. Or, youâll also die!â Theodore warned.
âWell, Iâm already dying. I think itâs a pretty good thing if I can bring the three of you together withme,â Michael uttered.
Hearing that, they frowned. They wouldnât want to risk their lives.
âSir Robinson, you still have to think about your daughter, right?â Theodore said. âI can let her go,
but you must die today.â
âYes! Only if you die can your daughter live!â Graham echoed.
âCan I trust you?â Michael asked.
Theodore held his head up high. âNo matter what, Iâm still a prominent figure in the martial world
I wonât go back on my word.â
âMichael, destroy your core first. I promise not to hurt your daughter,â Graham vowed.
âInnocent people will not be implicated.â Orson nodded slightly.
âOkay. Since you are all also grandmasters, I trust you. Iâll give up on my practice today in exchange for my daughterâs life.â Michael turned around and cast a look at Abigail.
With a smile, he mouthed, âTake care, Abigail.â
âNo! Donât-â Abigail screamed, shaking her head fervently.
Before she could finish speaking, Michael raised his hand abruptly and struck his chest forcefully.
Following the loud bang, a mist of blood erupted.
Michael trembled and slumped to the ground. All his meridians were severed, and his cultivation
was gone in a flash.
âNo!â Abigail wailed. She hurriedly rushed over to her father and pulled him into her arms.
At the sight of his bloody body, she felt her heart sting.
âWhy? Why did you do that?â She held his hand, sobbing her eyes out.
âSilly girl, Iâm already dying. Saving your life with mine, itâs worth it,â Michael said weakly,
summoning up a faint smile on his face.
âNo! I donât need you to exchange your life with mine! I wonât allow you to do that! Hang in there! Iâll bring you to the hospital right now!â she yelled, carrying him onto her back.
âItâs useless.â Michael shook his head. âI was supposed to die ten years ago. But I have been
worried about you. Now that youâve grown up, itâs time for me to be with
âNo! I donât want you to die!â Abigail roared.
your mother.â
âEveryone will have to die eventually, silly girl. Iâm already fortunate to live until today. In this
lifetime, Iâm not ashamed of anything Iâve done. I only have regrets for you.
âIâm not a good father nor a good husband. Not only did I not protect your mother, but I also failed
to take good care of you. Iâm a complete failure.â His weakening voice was filled with guilt.
âNo, youâre wrong. Itâs not like that.
face uncontrollably.
Abigail kept shaking her head as tears streamed down her
âIâve never done anything for you before. Today, I finally managed to do what a father should.
Abigail, Iâm incredibly proud to have you as my daughter.
âYouâve been my source of hope and joy. Your light has brightened my life. Donât cry anymore,
silly girl. Take care of yourself. From now on, you have to rely on yourselfâ¦â
Michael struggled to raise his hand, attempting to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eye.
However, he was only halfway through when his hand fell down heavily.
And that marked the end of a generational legend.
