Chapter 955 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Five decades ago, Linden had barely started gaining fame while Iris was already a household name. He had the honor of meeting that impressive woman once.
âIris Meskill? Jade Maiden Sisterhood?â Surprised, Dustin asked, âDr. Watkins, do you know where her tomb is?â
âThatâs why I said this is impossible,â Linden sighed. âSince her death, many have searched for her tomb, yet no one has succeeded. It basically doesnât exist!â
âJust because no one could find it doesnât mean it doesnât exist,â Dustin answered firmly.
âIâll find a way to find the Shadowbloom. If I fail, Iâll have no choice but to break into the Mystic
Arts Order!â
âAre you crazy? Youâd be walking into the lionâs den!â Linden paled.
âThatâs nothing compared to Natasha sacrificing her life to save mine.â Dustin had a determined
gaze.
âButâ¦â Linden was at a loss for words.
âDr. Watkins, how much longer can Natasha hold on for?â Dustin asked.
âThatâs hard to tell. Iâd say anywhere from three days to half a month. Itâll depend on her.â Linden
shook his head.
Dustin bent over to place a gentle peck on Natashaâs forehead. âHang on, Natasha. Iâll be back.
âYou said youâd lock me to your side, so donât break your promise. Iâll save you no matter what, so
wait for me!â
With that, he spun around and left.
He had never looked so determined before that he seemed slightly insane.
In a villa with a garden on the outskirts of town, Edith and several disciples studied the broken
However, they couldnât find anything out of the ordinary.
âNikki, are you sure thereâs something hidden inside the scripture?â Edith narrowed her eyes
doubtfully.
âThatâs what that bastard said, so it should be true.â Nikki frowned uneasily.
âYou might have been tricked!â Edith humphed.
Theyâve inspected the scripture so many times but couldnât find anything. What a waste of time.
âMadam Edith, are we using the wrong methods?â Nikki asked thoughtfully.
âSince itâs supposed to be a secret, it must be hidden so well that itâs impossible to find with just
looking.â
âThen what should we do?â Edith retorted.
âPeople in the shows would either soak it in water or burn it. Why donât we give it a try?â Nikki asked hesitantly.
âSoak it in water or burn it?â Brittany nearly sprung up.
âNikki Horst, are you crazy? The scripture is our treasure.
âHow could you play around with it like that? How are you supposed to pay if you accidentally damage it?â
âIt was just a suggestion: Forget it, then.â Nikki was a little guilty.
âHang on! I think Nikki was right.
âNormal methods wonât work, so we have to take a more dramatic approach,â Edith said.
âMadam Edith, how could you trust her words?â Brittany was astonished.
âNo pain, no gain. Since the scripture is useless now anyway, we might as well risk it.
âWe might even find a surprise!â Edith replied before instructing someone to prepare water and
fire.
As the saying goes, âWithout struggle, there is no successâ.
The chance to become a grandmaster depended on this!
