An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 998

"What? Michael Robinson? One of Balerno's five ultimate grandmasters?"

"Neptune! It's actually Neptune! Holy shit! Why is he here?"

"He's been in hiding all these years, never getting himself involved in the affairs of the martial world.

"Why did he suddenly appear out of thin air? The world must be ending!"

Michael's appearance caused a commotion among the crowd. They looked at him in awe and astonishment.

The five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno were publicly acknowledged as the five most powerful individuals. And among them was Michael, also known as Neptune.

Ten years ago, he had defended Westward Fortress alone. Single-handedly, he defeated three highly skilled foreign grandmasters.

His efforts prevented many enemy cavalry from entering the country.

He was only one man guarding the city, yet enemies were kept at bay. That was how the battle made him famous.

That year, when his fame soared, he was appointed a knight. His glorious deeds were still being recounted and admired by people.

"Mr. Robinson?" Dustin raised an eyebrow, evidently surprised. He didn't expect to get aid at such a critical moment.

"Dad, why are you here?" Seeing the familiar figure before her, Abigail lit up.

Since they last parted ways, she thought seeing her father again would be difficult.

"I heard something happened here, so I came over to check."

Michael turned his head around and smiled. "How are you? You're not hurt, are you?"

"I'm fine, but these bastards are threatening us. They want to steal our stuff and are even about to attack Dustin.

"They're too much!" Abigail ratted them out.

"I saw what happened earlier. Leave it to me."

Michael nodded and turned his attention to the three grandmasters. His smile disappeared, and his gaze turned cold.

"Three of you are respected figures. Don't you think it's laughable for you to bully your juniors?"

"Sir Robinson, this is a matter between us. It doesn't seem to concern you," Theodore said with a frown.
