An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1185

Chapter 1185: The Astonishing Escape

“He took off…”

As Alexander Cheng hastily retreated in embarrassment, a stunned silence fell over the crowd.

Wide-eyed disbelief painted every face in the audience.

What in the world was happening?

The illustrious headmaster of the Soul-suppressing Sect, a renowned martial arts master, had just fled in fear?

What about his reputation as a headmaster?

Where was the dignity of a master?

Had he thrown it all away?

“Master, where are you going?” Liam stammered, seeking answers.

“Elder Liam, there’s an urgent matter at home. I’ll return as soon as I can,” came Alexander Cheng’s slightly trembling voice from a distance.

As he spoke, he practically greased his shoe soles and bolted faster.

After all, he hadn’t fully recovered from the injuries inflicted upon him in the Black Forest during their last encounter. He hadn’t expected to cross paths with this bad omen again.

If he didn’t make his escape now, when would he?

Facing a direct confrontation, he might well lose his life here.

A smart person knows when it’s time to quit.

Losing some face was better than losing one’s life.

“…,” Liam’s mouth twitched, and he was momentarily at a loss.

Since he had known his master, he had never seen him in such a state of panic.

It was as though he had encountered something truly sinister.

What could possibly terrify his master to this extent?

“What’s going on? Why did Grandmaster Alexander Cheng run away?”
