Chapter 690
Amidst the heavy snowfall, a figure in black dashed on frantically, ignoring the fierce winds. Blood trickled out of his wounds and dripped onto the fresh snow beneath him.
“That piece of shit. He nearly killed me! Thank God I used Blood Shield, or I’d be dead meat by now! * The Dark Lord gritted his teeth, only letting out a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was on this trail, his face still ashen.
Michael’s final attack had been so strong that it had pierced his protective barrier and even
managed to cut through his ametrine armor, leaving a deep gash on his back. If it weren’t for that armor, he’d be dead by now. No wonder so many people feared the five Grandmasters. Fortunately, he managed to survive, and he even got some shocking information.
The Dark Lord wheezed and coughed out blood as he dragged his battered body toward his hiding spot. After ten minutes, he finally reached a hidden area in the courtyard.
“Who are you?” Several masked women jumped out, firmly clutching swords.
“It’s me.” The Dark Lord unveiled himself.
“Master?” The women immediately lowered their heads.
“Where’s Azalea?” The Dark Lord croaked.
“She’s standing guard in the hall,” one of the ladies answered.
“Keep an eye out for danger,” the Dark Lord reminded before heading over to the hall.
Meanwhile, Azalea was intently observing a wooden jar. She watched, amused, as a poisonous scorpion and centipede fought furiously.
“Azalea!” Just then, the doors opened, and the Dark Lord tottered into the room.
“Yes?” When Azalea saw the man, she paled and rushed over. “Master! What happened? Who did this to you?”
“Michael Robinson was helping the Harmon family, so I lost.” The Dark Lord scowled.
“Michael Robinson, one of Balerno’s Grandmasters?” Azalea frowned. “Didn’t he disappear years ago? What’s he doing here?”
“He was hiding his identity, so no one knew who he was. Today’s just my unlucky day.” The Dark Lord sighed. He thought he’d finally be able to destroy the Harmon family after becoming at Grandmaster, yet Michael’s sudden appearance nearly cost him his life. He must have the most rotten luck!
“As long as you’re alright, we’ll have many more chances to take revenge. Let me treat your injuries.” Azalea immediately got to work, swiftly applying medicine and patching the man up. However, his internal injuries would require constant medication before they could heal.
“I might have lost this time, but at least I’ve obtained a valuable bargaining chip,” the Dark Lord mused.
