An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1970

"Helped you?" Everyone looked around curiously after hearing Aidan's words.

All of them were busy escaping just now. They didn't have the time to think about anything else.

Perhaps something had happened just now.

"Mr. Ridge, your skills are superb. I doubt you'll need any of our help."

"That's right. We wouldn't be much help in a battle of your level."

"Mr. Ridge, did someone step in and affect your performance just now? How terrible of them!"

Not knowing what happened, the crowd gossiped among themselves.

They thought that only a grandmaster martial artist like Aidan would have the ability to defeat the vines.

If Aidan didn't make a move just now, many people would be dead right now.

"Mr. Ridge, what happened?" Jackson tried asking.

"Nothing… Nothing much. Since nobody admitted to it, it's fine." Aidan shook his head without another word.

He was just probing with his question earlier, not expecting an outcome from it. Aidan couldn't accept if an ultimate grandmaster was hidden among them, either.

Thus, Aidan only reckoned that a capable martial artist happened to pass by and save him. If Aidan had the chance to meet the person again, he would definitely repay him for his kindness.

"Mr. Ridge, thank you. Here's the Draken Rope that you want." Grace walked up and passed the Draken Rope which she had prepared.

Aidan was moved. After hesitating for two seconds, he took the rope from Grace's hands.

Draken Rope was a treasure that he had sought out for a long time. Thus, he naturally wouldn't refuse it.

If the capable martial artist did appear, Aidan would find another way to compensate him.

"Little Miss, thank you. Since you've kept your promise, do come and look for me if you run into any trouble!" Aidan smiled in satisfaction.

Although Aidan had been in a life-and-death situation just now, it was worth it as he got such a valuable treasure.

Looking at Aidan's excited look, Dustin raised his eyebrows.

Dustin was shocked that Aidan actually accepted it. Aidan almost lost his life just now. Yet, all he could think about was the Draken Rope.

If Dustin hadn't considered the situation, he would have been reluctant for Grace to give out such a treasure.

"Everyone, it's not safe to stay here for too long. Let's find a safer place to discuss."

Grace didn't dwell on these matters. Instead, she urged everyone to leave the dangerous area.

They had been constantly fighting since the night fell, leaving no time for them to rest.

In the beginning, everyone was just looking from the sidelines. However, the weird vines almost wiped them all out.

More than ten people were killed after the battle.

Among them, there were Embersteel Order's disciples, members of the Black Scorpion Squad, and Grace's envoy team. There were many casualties and injuries on their team.

They had lost over a dozen people in just the first night. There would be more casualties to come.

At this moment, everyone knew that this treasure-hunting journey was filled with danger!

After changing a place to rest, everyone no longer had the desire to sleep. Thus, they stayed up until the morning.
