An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1193
“Familiar?” Emery was curious.
“Have you met Grandmaster Rhys before, Sir Bolts?” “I must have been mistaken.” Woody stroked his beard and gave it some thought, but he couldn’t recall anything.
With his memory, he would never have forgotten such a talented martial artist.
become a grandmaster in It was a rare sight to see a young man Dragonmarsh. In normal circumstances, he would never forget such a talent if he had met him before. That could only mean that they were not acquainted.
“Sir Bolts, you must be tired after traveling this far. Please, have a seat and rest.” Emery gestured.
“There’s no rush. Let me have a word with the young grandmaster.” With that, Woody headed straight for the stage. Emery frowned briefly before regaining his composure.
The Martial Arts Union became powerful mainly because it attracted talent from all walks of life. Be it good or bad, anyone with skills or unique abilities could join the union if they were strong enough.
Woody had clearly taken an interest in Dustin’s skills and talent. He wanted to recruit him. Although Emery was unhappy, there was nothing he could do. After all, the martial world was governed by the union.
“Young man, your courage is commendable. You actually publicly challenged the leader of the alliance.” Woody said with a smile as he walked on stage.
“The Martial Arts Union?” Dustin slowly opened his eyes. He quickly confirmed Woody’s identity by the badge on his chest.
“Good eyes. I am one of the ten leaders of the Martial Arts Union, Woody Bolts. “Woody introduced himself.
“I see, Sir Bolts. How can I help you?” Dustin nodded slightly. The influence of the Martial Arts Union extended throughout the world. The leaders of the union not only had remarkable strength, but they also had a strong background and employed ruthless methods.
“Young man, you’re extremely talented and have a bright future ahead of you. It would be a waste to stay in such a small place. Have you ever considered joining us?” Woody went straight to the point. His words caused a stir among the crowd.
“I thought the union was here to catch law-breaking martial artists. However, it seems like they’re here to recruit talent.”
“How impressive. A young grandmaster had attracted the attention of the Martial Arts Union from afar.”
“Hmph, this kid has gotten lucky for the union to take an interest in him.” The crowd of martial artists whispered among themselves, expressing a mix of awe and jealousy.
It was countless martial artists’ dream to join the union. That was because it represented power and status. However, the recruitment standards were extremely strict. It involved multiple assessments.
One wrong move could cost someone their life. It was incredibly rare to pass the assessments successfully. And it was even rarer to be recruited directly like Dustin.
“Thank you for the offer, Sir Bolts. But I’m not interested in joining,” Dustin declined without hesitation.
“Hmm?” Woody was taken aback by Dustin’s response. In all these years, nobody had ever declined an offer from the union. Did he not know how significant the union was?
“Young man, do you know what kind of organization we are?” Woody raised his head slightly. He said proudly, “We oversee all martial guilds, establish the rules of the martial world, preside over all martial artists, and take decisive actions when necessary.
“Granted an imperial charter, this is what the Martial Arts Union represents! The entire martial world was beneath the union’s feet, and no one dared defy it.
“I’ve heard of the reputation of the Martial Arts Union, but I am just an ordinary man. I can’t stand being controlled.” Dustin shook his head.
