An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1624

A sudden knock echoed through the door. Fenley slowly opened his eyes and asked, “Who’s there?”

“It’s me.”

An old man in white robes entered and pushed the door open. The elder, with an air of otherworldliness, was none other than Alloy Marshall, the guildmaster of the Celestial Alliance.

“Master Alloy?” Fenley’s expression brightened as he quickly stood up.” What brings you here?”

“Just checking on you.” Alloy smiled faintly and asked, “Fenley, how’s your progress lately?”

“I’m now a grandmaster. Just one step away from being an ultimate grandmaster,” Fenley replied truthfully.

“Not bad. Achieving this at such a young age is quite a feat. I wasn’t as accomplished at your age.” Alloy nodded approvingly.

“Master Alloy, you’re too kind. If it weren’t for your guidance, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” Fenley said, lowering his head.

“No need to be humble. Your success is the result of your efforts.”

Alloy smiled and then asked, “Oh, I heard you had a fierce battle last night and even used the Four Elements of God’s Technique. Is that true?”

“It’s true,” Fenley admitted.

“The opponent was quite formidable. He managed to block the first three forms of the Four Elements of God’s Technique. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to use the fourth form, Fury of Lightning God. Otherwise, I could have won!”

“Very good.” Alloy nodded in satisfaction. “Although you didn’t win last night, today you have a chance to redeem yourself.”

“Huh?” Fenley was momentarily stunned, not quite grasping the situation.

“The person you fought last night was Logan Rhys, also known as Kirin. I believe you’re already aware.” Alloy’s tone carried a deeper meaning.

“This morning, an old acquaintance sent a message. We need the Celestial Alliance to handle a certain matter. I think you are well-suited for it.”
