An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2055

After a few drinks, everyone loosened up and started chatting.

Dalen asked, "Ms. Wesley, I've heard you're the Sword Union disciples. Are you here for the Combat Tournament at the Sacred Wrym Summit?"

Crystal nodded. "Yes, that's right." She was reserved and not much of a talker.

Ruby, the lively one, chimed in with a smile. "Dalen, truth be told, we're here because our guildmaster told us to.

"The Ancient Sage is hosting the Combat Tournament at the Sacred Wrym Summit this time. It's creating quite a buzz.

"Not only Sword Union, but other groups like the Celestial Alliance and the Mystics Arts Order are sending their top disciples to participate."

"Ruby, did the Sword Union only send the three of you?" Dalen asked curiously.

"Not really," Ruby shook her head. "We're here just for fun. The real Sword Union contestants are someone else."

Ruby and Miles were only at the later stages of being divine-level martial artists. Crystal, while strong, was only halfway to becoming a grandmaster.

They weren't up to the level of legends. So, they couldn't be the Sword Union's representatives in the tournament.

"Someone else? Could it be Glenn?" Dalen asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know about that." Ruby chuckled.

She added, "Glenn is quite unpredictable. Whether he'll participate in the Combat Tournament, no one can say for sure.

"But if he does decide to join, the championship will undoubtedly belong to our Sword Union."

Glenn was not only at the top of the Legendary List but also made it to the Astonishing World List at a young age, making him the pinnacle talent of the Sword Union.

Unfortunately, Glenn was known for his arrogant and solitary nature, showing little regard for anyone except his guildmaster.

"Ruby, let's not speak too soon," Crystal interjected.

She continued, "Glenn is indeed formidable, being the top talent of the Sword Union. However, don't forget there's another person who stands equal with him."

"Who is it?" Ruby looked surprised.

"Kirin, also known as Logan," Crystal calmly stated.

"Wow! He's that impressive?" Ruby's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Dalen smiled. "I've heard that Logan not only has great talent and an impressive background but also has a charm that captivates many women."

"I never thought he'd be handsome. That's awesome!" Ruby exclaimed happily.

Good-looking, skilled in combat, and with an impressive background—men like that were hard to find.

"Don't daydream. Someone like Logan wouldn't even notice you." Crystal dashed Ruby's hopes with a dose of reality.

"Crystal! Seriously? What's wrong with me? Why wouldn't he be interested?" Ruby proudly defended herself, highlighting her looks, intelligence, and popularity.

She continued, "I'm everyone's dream girl, and you just can't see it!"

Crystal looked at Ruby and said, "If you had Dalen's face, maybe you'd stand a chance."

After hearing this, both Dustin and Dalen spit out their drinks.
