An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 1191: Deputy’s Decision

“Deputy Leader Eldric, everything I’ve done is to uphold the Martial Alliance’s reputation,” Asher expressed with a furrowed brow. “This man recklessly harms innocent people, behaves arrogantly, and disrespects the Martial Alliance. If we don’t apprehend him now, it will lead to endless problems in the future.”

“Elder Asher, I witnessed the recent events clearly,” Eldric responded calmly. “Your actions have been forceful and domineering, and you even violated our rules by activating the three guardians without the leader’s authorization. If you persist in your actions, you’ll be held accountable for breaking the law, and the severity of your actions will only increase.”

“You!” Asher seethed with anger, clenching his teeth and speaking in a hushed tone. “Deputy Leader Eldric, we’re all part of the same alliance. Do you really need to oppose me for the sake of this young one?”

“Elder Asher, I always uphold the principles of justice and never bend the law for personal gain,” Eldric replied with dignity. “Right and wrong are determined by the consensus of the public. I believe that everyone here desires a fair Leader Challenge. Anyone who resorts to dishonorable tactics to obstruct it will be seen as a common enemy of martial arts.”

“That’s absolutely correct! As warriors, we have the right to challenge our martial arts leader, and no one should interfere!” The assembled warriors voiced their agreement.

In the world of martial arts, strength was highly respected, and martial arts leaders ascended through their martial skills. Once someone reached the master level, they earned the privilege to challenge the martial arts leader—an unwritten tradition. Avoiding combat or employing deceitful methods would tarnish the martial arts leader’s reputation.
