An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1202
However, at that moment, that mountain had collapsed. Ronald’s legend and glory were completely shattered.
“He won! Dustin won! That’s amazing! “After being momentarily stunned, Lyn cheered. “As expected of the man I’ve set my eyes on. He’s truly unparalleled!” Josie was thrilled and excited. Her face began to redden.
Although she wasn’t sure what happened, she was certain Dustin had won. And brilliantly at that! In front of thousands of people, he had defeated the martial arts alliance leader. The one and only Ronald Reeds.
From that moment on, he had successfully made a name for himself. He would stand uncontested, leaving everyone in the dust.
“Excellent! What a magnificent victory! “Even the shrewd Emery couldn’t help applauding the win.
Ronald had suppressed him for a whole decade. With Dustin’s unexpected victory and a severely injured Ronald’s fall from grace, it was a joyous occasion.
Finally, he could seize this opportunity to assume the position of alliance leader. Dustin ignored the uproar. Gripping the Celestial Blade, he took purposeful steps toward Ronald. The black sword was still dripping with blood.
“The alliance leader? An unbeatable legend? Hmph… what a joke.”
Dustin’s eyes were red, and his expression was sinister. He looked like a demon that had just crawled out of hell, terrifying yet immensely powerful.
“You How are you so strong? How could you possibly defeat me?” Ronald knelt on the ground and struggled to lift his head.
His expression was a mix of shock, terror, and bewilderment. But most of all, he was filled with confusion and disbelief.
He couldn’t understand why he had been defeated. With his cultivation, he was supposed to be unbeatable by anyone below the level of an ultimate grandmaster.
“You underestimated me and overestimated yourself. That was why you lost.” Dustin raised his sword slowly.
He asked condescendingly, “Do you have any last words?”
“Don’t… Don’t kill me…” Ronald panicked, taking in Dustin’s cold, indifferent gaze.
He humbly begged for mercy, “I can give you the Celestial Pearl and give up the position of alliance leader. I can pass on all my knowledge to you.
“As long as you let me live, I’ll give away my power, position, and wealth. I’ll give you anything you want!”
He had fought hard to reach his current position and ascend to the peak. He hadn’t enjoyed it enough or achieved his life goals. He didn’t want to die and lose everything just like that. As long as he could live, he could put down his dignity and give up everything he had.
“Ronald Reeds, did you ever think this day would come? Especially after you betrayed your master, acted treacherously, and framed me.” Dustin remained unfazed.
“I was wrong… I know I was wrong! I promise to start anew and never do anything evil again. Please give me another chance!”
As Ronald spoke, he prostrated desperately. He completely let go of his pride, no longer carrying the dignity of the alliance leader.
The crowd lamented at the sight they were witnessing. Nobody expected Ronald to have such a humble and cowardly side to him. After all, he usually carried himself with pride. It turned out that even Gods were fearful in the face of death.
“Give you a chance?” Dustin scoffed.
“Let me ask you, did you ever give Sir Paul a chance? What about Mr. Robinson? And those innocent people you harmed, did you ever give them a chance?
“Since you didn’t, what gives you the right to ask me for one?”
“Dustin, nothing good will come out of killing me! It’ll only make you an enemy of the martial world!
“As long as you let me go, I promise to serve you faithfully. I’ll do anything you ask!” Ronald was panicking. He was sweating profusely as he begged fervently.
“You don’t need to do anything. I just want you dead!” Without another word, Dustin raised his sword high into the air. He was going to strike down heavily.
