‘Run!’
The elder no longer had any other hesitation. He quickly moved his body and ran as fast as lightning toward the exit.
He was the grand elder of the Coleman family. He was the only Grandmaster in the family and had a great responsibility as the main support of the family. Embarrassing himself would be far better than losing his life. As long as he was still alive, the Colemans of Missouri could still be prosperous for another twenty years.
“He ran away!”
“The Grandmaster of the Colemans actually ran away out of fear!”
The rest of the eight great families looked at each other. They were all shocked but they thought that it was reasonable. What else could he do if he didn’t run away? Seeking for his own death?
At this moment, Maiko swept a glance at the crowd below the stage and said, “Everyone, please keep the incident today strictly confidential. I shall not forgive and kill him if anyone leaks a single word! This wedding is just a farce. Everyone should be dismissed now!”
After a pause, she then nodded her head at Alex. “My disciple, Master still has other matters to attend to. I shall leave now. Feel free to call out to me whenever you’re in trouble!”

With that, she casually waved her hand.
Another hundreds and thousands of lightning bolts roared again in the surrounding, causing some cowardly guests grovelled and shivered on the ground. Under such circumstances, Maiko turned into a ray of lightning and vanished into the sky.
Alex held his fists together and shouted, “Good day, Master!”
He was secretly relieved deep inside his heart. He had worked hard and engaged in a battle of wits and valor just to create this big show. It was damn exhausting.
That was right. Everything was an illusion. Everything was a lie.
Of course, there were some truths in the lies and there were lies in the truths. Nobody could differentiate the truths and the lies clearly, especially the overwhelming lightning storm and the billowing grey clouds. They were all illusions, just to hide the fact that Maiko was actually a ghost… As for the plot of the disciple and master at the end, it was just a scare tactic to make others believe that he was not alone and he also had a patron.
If the grand elder of the Colemans ever had a little doubt about it or made his move to test its authenticity, Alex’s trick would be exposed and the show would not go on.
In the end, he could only fight for his life but he might die and vanish in such an ending.
Then , Alex saw the guests below the stage start leaving. After letting out a sigh of relief, he held Daya and comforted her with a soft voice.
“The ancestor of the Stoermers is really dead?” Anna asked Alex softly.
When this question came out, many people displayed a questioning expression.
‘But, he’s a Grandmaster!’
