Chapter 1190: Deputy Alliance Leader Eldric

“Who are you to meddle in our affairs?” Asher’s expression darkened.

“I am a disciple of the Zen Order, and I cannot stand by and watch such injustice unfold,” Serena

declared with unwavering determination. “The Martial Alliance should be a beacon of fairness and

justice. Grandmaster Dustin issued a challenge, and your Martial Alliance accepted it. Yet now, even

before Alliance Leader Ronald has arrived, you’ve chosen to corner and eliminate him in secret. Where

is the integrity of the Martial Alliance? Where is its dignity?”

“Exactly! If you want a fight, do it with honor. There’s no need for bullying just because you have more

people.”

“Grandmaster Dustin arrived here alone out of respect for the Martial Alliance. The least the Alliance

can do is return that courtesy, have a fair showdown in the arena, and win the respect of everyone

present.”

“Are you all simply afraid that Grandmaster Dustin might pose a threat to Alliance Leader Ronald’s

position, leading you to resort to these underhanded tactics?”

At this moment, the assembled warriors voiced their criticisms and discontent.

Challenging the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance was a rare event, and regardless of whether Dustin

succeeded or not, it showcased his courage. However, the actions of the Law enforcement were

undeniably disappointing.

“Silence! All of you, quiet down!” Asher’s anger flared. “This Dustin killed my son. As a father, I seek

justice for my child. What’s wrong with that?”

“Seeking justice is one thing, but you should not abuse the power of the Martial Alliance for personal

vengeance!” Serena responded passionately.

“You… you… you insolent woman!” Asher was so furious that he trembled.

He had arranged a trap to capture Dustin, but now a young girl with golden hair had suddenly appeared

and was obstructing him in various ways.

“Elder Asher, even if you seek vengeance, you should wait until after Grandmaster Dustin’s challenge

is concluded. We cannot agree to your actions at this moment.”

“That’s right! The challenge issued by the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is sacred and inviolable.

No matter how deep your grievances, you must set them aside for now.”

With Serena leading the way, more and more warriors stood up to protest against this injustice.

In truth, they were not particularly concerned about whether Dustin lived or died; rather, they were

dissatisfied with the Asher and law enforcement’s high-handed and arbitrary conduct.

This behavior was truly outrageous.

If they didn’t speak out today, the Law enforcement would continue to act with impunity.

What would happen if similar incidents occurred in the future?

“You… are you all trying to oppose the Martial Alliance?” Asher shouted through gritted teeth.

“Elder Asher, please exercise restraint and avoid alienating the public,” a commanding voice suddenly

interjected.

Subsequently, a middle-aged man in a long robe with a resolute countenance arrived on the scene as if

carried by the wind.

He had his hands behind his back, walked with an elevated yet unhurried gait, exuding a calm and

relaxed aura that was free-spirited.

Each step covered an astonishing distance.

While it appeared slow, he traversed the air and landed gracefully above everyone’s heads in the blink

of an eye before descending gently, akin to an immortal descending to the mortal realm.

The person who had arrived was none other than Eldric Thornfield, the deputy leader of the Martial Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Alliance.

“We greet Deputy Alliance Leader Eldric!” All the warriors present saluted with cupped fists.

Even Asher, who had been in an extremely irate state moments earlier, dared not utter another word.

In the entire Martial Arts Alliance, aside from Alliance Leader Ronald Reeds himself, Eldric was the

most formidable presence.

Though Eldric usually kept a low profile and remained inconspicuous, no one dared to underestimate

this deputy leader.

After all, in the contest for leadership of the Martial Arts Alliance, Eldric had been evenly matched with

Ronald Reeds and had ultimately been defeated by a single move.

“Elder Asher, we are all guests here. Since Grandmaster Dustin issued a formal challenge, we should

treat him with respect as hosts. What you are doing now is quite inappropriate,” Eldric chided.

Implicitly, he had taken a clear stance on the matter.
