A Man Like None Other

Chapter 4432 Utterly Unscrupulous
The rune on Catalina’s palm seemed to come alive before scattering into the air.
Then, there was a humming sound.
With a tremor in the void, all the restrictions instantly vanished.
Kai also felt that he could now harness all of his powers.
He looked at her in disbelief. It had never occurred to him that she would actually be capable of breaking the restrictions.
“You can tend to your injuries now,” she said, turning to him.
“Did you set up these restrictions? How could this happen? Who exactly are you?”

He eyed her warily.
“No, no, no. The restrictions weren’t put in place by me. I don’t have that kind of ability. It was done by my master. I just broke it using my master’s rune,” she explained, hastily waving her hands.
“Your master? Why did he set up the restrictions? And what brings you here?” he responded, continuing to throw questions at her.
She furrowed her brow slightly, seemingly caught in a bind. In the end, however, she answered his questions and told him everything.
After hearing her explanation, he was practically beside himself with frustration.
It turned out that the Celestial Battlefield was nothing like its original state. Catalina’s master had set up restrictions in the Celestial Battlefield. Even the stone magical items ahead and those celestial techniques were all arranged in advance!
It was all to draw others’ attention, and then use these things to obtain spiritual stones. She’s not here to find magical items. She’s here to earn spiritual stones! No wonder she didn’t show interest in anything and could even pass through the massive stone illusion array with ease! This time, with the fees collected for admission and from the auction of those divine weapons, she must’ve earned a substantial amount of spiritual stones!
However, the sudden appearance of the lightning beast and the Demonic Cultivator’s soul remnant was something she had not anticipated.
That was why she had considered leaving later on. However, since nobody broached the subject, she had no choice but to reluctantly tag along.
“You deceived others just to earn spiritual stones. That’s utterly unscrupulous,” he said helplessly.
“Who’s being unscrupulous? Those cultivation techniques and divine weapons are all real. It’s not like they’re fake,” she retorted.
He seized the opportunity to ask, “Could it be that your master is from the celestial realm?”
“I’m not telling you, and don’t think you can figure it out. I’ve already been generous enough to share this much with you. Hurry up and tend to your injuries. You’re not allowed to tell anyone else about this matter. Otherwise, I won’t talk to you anymore,” she warned him.
He was now even more curious about her identity. However, since she refused to reveal anything, he knew better than to pry further lest he truly angered her.
