Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys Novel novel Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184: A Little Prelude

The voice wasn’t particularly loud, but it cut through the chatter in the audience like a knife. An invisible weight descended, silencing the crowd.

Following the sound comes a rugged, white-bearded old man striding towards us, head held high.

The old man was clad in a black robe, his appearance weathered and his eyes sharp. The strong wind swirled around him, causing his robe to rustle like a flag in the wind.

There wasn’t any flashy display of power, yet an aura of gravitas and majesty surrounded him, akin to Thor, the Norse God of Thunder.

No need for any grand entrance; the mere presence of the old man demanded everyone’s attention.

This figure was none other than the leader of the Soul-suppressing Sect, Alexander Cheng!

“Oh my, Grandmaster Alexander Cheng is really here! Something significant is about to go down!”

“This young lad’s arrogance knows no bounds. Challenging Grandmaster Alexander Cheng? He’s gotten himself into a real mess now!”

“Why flaunt your prowess? Why not keep a low profile? It’s like he’s courting disaster. Now that Grandmaster Alexander Cheng has shown up, let’s see how this ends!”

“Talk about asking for trouble!”

Whispers and pointing fingers filled the air.

People glanced at Dustin with a touch of sympathy. His act had been too brazen, and it had successfully lured Grandmaster Alexander Cheng out. It was like lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot.

“It’s finished, it’s truly finished,” Aria quivered, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Her lovely face wore an expression of despair.

“Damn! This lad is beyond foolish. He couldn’t just keep quiet, had to provoke a martial arts master. Isn’t that practically suicide? Don’t drag us into this mess!” Cameron muttered, panic-stricken.
