Chapter 1066 Survival Of The Fittest
None of the members of the secret forces expected Hadriel to attack Barry in front of everyone. After all, Barry was a highly respected elder in the sect.
This new sect leader isn’t as friendly as the previous one, so it won’t be easy getting along with him… We can’t afford to offend him, or he might just kill us in a heartbeat! He’s just that cruel and merciless!
Barry showed no fear whatsoever as the dagger got closer and closer to him. He even casually picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip from it.
Swoosh! The dagger then zoomed past Barry’s head, missing it just by a centimeter and cutting a strand of his white hair in the process before going through the wall behind him.
It all happened so quickly that it left little to no trace behind. Had it not been for the hole in the wall, nobody would have known something like that had just happened.
“I’m sorry, Barry. Do I need to work on my throwing knives?” Hadriel asked. Despite having a smile on his face, the look in his eyes was as cold as ice. It was as though he would kill Barry the moment he had a chance to.
Barry put down his teacup and replied calmly, “Your skill with throwing knives is impressive, but you should be more careful with them. Wouldn’t want you to get hurt now, would we?”
At those words, Hadriel grew so mad that he wished he could kill Barry on the spot, but he still replied with a smile, “You want to know why I gave the order to dominate the real world, right, Barry? Well, I’ll tell you why. Us secret forces have been living in this secret world for hundreds of years. The Mana here is much more suitable for martial artists and would double their cultivation speed. However, as we have grown stronger over the years, we have also depleted most of the Mana here. It wouldn’t even be an understatement to say that this secret world is no different from the real world now.”

As though he were voicing out his feelings that he had been suppressing for a long time. Hadriel stood and continued in a loud voice, “On top of that, this place is small and remote, and we’re still living like we’re in the ancient times here. Those people in the real world are so weak that you could squash them with a finger, so why should they be allowed to enjoy a life of wealth and comfort? The good things in life should belong to the strong. The weak are to submit themselves to the strong and be enslaved!”
Most of the ambitious and power-hungry individuals at the scene agreed with Hadriel’s ideals, and it wasn’t long before they stood up and took his side.
Barry could only let out a helpless sigh when he saw that. If the secret forces attack the real world, we will surely shift the balance of power and disrupt the peace that we have had for hundreds of years.
“Even if what you said makes sense, I still disagree with your actions!” Barry yelled while smashing the cup on the ground.
As the broken pieces of the cup scattered all over the floor, the spirits of those who were in agreement with Hadriel’s plans were broken as well. They were all terrified by Barry’s power and domineering aura.
