An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 993

Theodore had an icy expression as he rebuked his disciples.

"Master, you have a point." Skycrane's leader smiled apologetically, appearing submissive.

The crowd broke out in whispers when they noticed his behavior.

"It can't be. Is that the legendary Venerable Crane?"

"The Venerable Crane has secluded himself for many years, paying no attention to worldly affairs. I didn't expect to see him here today."

"Even the Venerable Crane is after Madam Iris' treasures!"

Theodore's arrival shifted the dynamics of the situation.

Although Walter had become a grandmaster, he was still relatively new. In contrast, Theodore was a veteran grandmaster whose reputation had spread far and wide.

They weren't on the same level.

"The Venerable Crane? Why did this monster show up?"

Walter gulped, losing his confidence. His arrogance disappeared, and he looked at Theodore with respect.

"Hey, you over there. You entered Madam Iris's tomb earlier, didn't you?"

Theodore's gaze swept across the area and finally settled on Walter.

"I'm not asking for much. If you hand over the Celestial Pearl, I'll ensure your safety!"

"What Celestial Pearl? I have no idea what you're talking about," Walter frowned.

"Acting stupid? I'm repeating myself one last time. Hand over the Celestial Pearl, and I'll spare your life.

"Otherwise, I'll slaughter your entire sect!" Theodore yelled.

The only reason he came out of seclusion was for the Celestial Pearl. Rumor had it that Madam Iris had found the Celestial Pearl 50 years ago. He was certain that it was in her tomb.

He could become an ultimate grandmaster with the Celestial Pearl within five years!

"Sir Crane, I don't have the Celestial Pearl. You must be mistaken!" Walter tried to explain.

"Hmph! Since you refuse to hand it over, die!" Theodore's expression darkened.

Without another word, he thrust a palm strike from a distance, and a giant shadow palm shot forth with an unstoppable force toward Walter.
