Chapter 1971 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Instead of making a move, Grace chose to understand the situation first. â Captain Wilder, can you tell who are the two groups of people there?â
âBased on their outfits, the team that has more people looks like theyâre from Fantasy Sea Alliance.â Garrett soon found out after taking a closer look.
âFantasy Sea Alliance? Who are they?â Grace continued asking. Narrowing his eyes, Garrett explained, âThe three major sects in the Southwest are Drakes Dominion Order, Embersteel Order, and Frostwing Sect.
âUnder these major sects, there are six influential sects, and Fantasy Sea Alliance is one of them.
âHowever, Fantasy Sea Alliance is different from normal sects. The way they do things is extreme. Thus, they donât have a good reputation. They have all sorts of members inside too.â
Jackson couldnât help but sneer upon hearing that, âTo put it simply, Fantasy Sea Alliance is formed by a bunch of immoral martial artists.
âThey try to make themselves righteous, but they secretly like to engage in robbing and looting. Theyâre a bunch of scoundrels in the martial world!â
Grace nodded before questioning, âSo, thatâs the case. Whoâs the person being surrounded, then?â
âThey donât have any noticeable logos on their clothes. I canât tell who they are.â Garrett shook his head.
Most disciples would wear similar uniforms when they were out. This would make them easily recognizable when they were making a name for themselves.
âWait for a moment. Jackson, donât you think they look familiar? The woman in red is Harmony Sectâs Ms. Jaden!â Suddenly, an Embersteel Orderâs disciple exclaimed.
âHarmony Sect?â Jackson raised his eyebrows. After going forward to take a look, he yelped, âIt really is Sophia!â
âJackson, is one of them your friend?â Grace tried asking.
âTheyâre more than friends. Harmony Sectâs Ms. Jaden is Jacksonâs fiancée!â The discipleâs words were shocking.
âFiancée?â Everyone exchanged glances when they heard that. It was indeed an extraordinary fate for them to meet at such a weird place.
âEveryone, Iâm sorry, but I need to save them today!â After confirming her identity, Jackson drew his sword without a word.
Then, he pointed to the front. â Embersteel Orderâs disciples, follow me!â
After saying that, Jackson charged forward. He couldnât just sit by and watch when his fiancée was in danger.
âGet them!â Embersteel Orderâs disciples didnât hesitate when they saw Jackson charging forward. They immediately drew their swords and joined the battle.
The Fantasy Sea Alliance had a terrible reputation. As righteous individuals, the Embersteel Order had been long fed up with their actions.
Now, the Fantasy Sea Alliance was even bullying Jacksonâs fiancée. It seemed that the former wanted to stir up a hornetâs nest!
âMs. Nicholson, the Embersteel Order has a good relationship with the Harmony Sect. Thus, they would often have intermarriage between the two sects.
âJacksonâs fiancée is the Harmony Sectâs senior member, Sophia Jaden,â Garrett explained straightforwardly.
Grace nodded. Then, she gestured and ordered, âUnderstood. Team one and two, go and support them.â
âYes!â The two envoy teams immediately withdrew their sword after getting the order. Then, they started to confront the enemy together with the Embersteel Orderâs disciples.
The sudden arrival of reinforcements caught the Fantasy Sea Alliance off guard. They didnât expect someone to jump in on them when they were almost going to win.
âWho are you? How dare you bastards poke your nose into our affairs! Are you guys not afraid of death?â a skinny middle-aged man yelled, standing among the group of Fantasy Sea Alliance members.
âI canât stand by and watch people like you outnumbering the weak! Get lost now if youâre smart enough. Otherwise, I wonât go easy on you!â Jackson yelled.
âHow dare you! Do you guys know who are? Weâre from Fantasy Sea Alliance!â the middle-aged man shouted.
âWho cares? Do you think the Embersteel Order is afraid of you?â Jackson yelled angrily.
âWhat? Youâre from Embersteel Steel?â The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, and his expression turned serious.
Embersteel Steel was one of the three major sects in the Southwest. They were way more powerful than Fantasy Sea Alliance.
If it were back then, Fantasy Sea Alliance naturally didnât want to provoke the Embersteel Order.
However, things were different now. There was no way they would willingly hand over the treasure they found.
âElder Lucius, they seem to be Embersteel Orderâs disciples based on the logos on their shirts,â a Fantasy Sea Alliance member muttered.
âSince you know our reputation, you should retreat quickly!â Jackson yelled.
Fantasy Sea Alliance had more people on their side. If they engaged in a fight, Emberson Steel might be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, it would be best if Jackson could just scare them away.
âFantasy Sea Alliance and Embersteel Order have always minded our own business. Why do you have to meddle in this matter and become enemies with us?â the middle-aged man asked lowly.
âYou were attacking Harmony Sectâs disciples just now. Harmony Sect are close allies of us! If you want to deal with them, you have to fight with us too!â Jackson stood firmly, exuding a powerful aura.
âOkay! I can spare their lives considering that you guys are from Emberson Steel. Howeverâ¦â
The middle-aged man suddenly demanded, âThey have to return all of the treasures that they stole from us just now!â
Upon hearing that, A woman in red yelled, âNonsense! Those were treasures that Harmony Sect found! Fantasy Sea Alliance was the shameless one trying to snatch what was ours!â
That was Harmony Sectâs most important disciple, Sophia. She was also Jacksonâs fiancée.
âStop fucking talking! You only have two choices. Give us the treasure, or weâll chop you guys up!â a member of the Fantasy Sea Alliance yelled impatiently.
