An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1007

"Michael, you haven't changed a bit. You only ever show your good side to people. Look at you; you look like you'll collapse at any moment. And yet, you still pretend like everything is okay," Ronald said helplessly.

"I heard that you've swallowed the Celestial Pearl. Can your body handle it?" he asked.

"Don't worry, Sir Reeds. The pearl is a sacred relic. It won't harm Mr. Robinson's body and will absorb the poison inside. It'll also help him increase his cultivation level," Dustin explained.

"Oh, really?" Ronald raised his brows slightly and chuckled.

"A blessing in disguise. Don't you think so, Michael? With this pearl, you'll have a chance to break through the ultimate grandmaster level."

"Let's just leave it to fate." Michael shook his head.

He said, "The pearl is a valuable treasure. It's bound to attract a lot of attention. It might bring us quite a bit of trouble in the future."

"Rest assured, Michael. As long as I'm here, no one can take the pearl away." Ronald was confident.

Micheal laughed. "Are you going to protect me 24/7?"

"No, you've misunderstood. It's not you that I'm protecting, but the pearl."

All of a sudden, Ronald thrust his hand into Michael's abdomen. He forcefully took out the golden pearl in his stomach.

His hand was covered in blood and bits of internal organs.

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

Ronald had been chatting happily with Michael just moments ago. None of them had expected him to attack Michael and rip open his abdomen.

It was such a cruel move!

Looking at the sinister smile on Ronald's face, Michael was baffled.
