Chapter 298: You Don’t Deserve to Touch Me
For a moment, the focus shifted away from the mysterious cultivators.
The woman standing before them—Master Bertha—was a legendary figure in the cultivation world. At just twenty-two, she had reached the Heaven Realm, an achievement that made her talents almost mythical.
Not only was she one of the youngest to break through to such a level, but she was also the youngest leader of the five Martial Arts League branches in the US.
Her future was limitless. Becoming her enemy was the last thing anyone with common sense would do.
When Bill realized who she was, the thought of attacking her—let alone continuing to fight—left his mind completely.
Bertha lifted a lock of black hair from her face and fixed Bill with a steady, unwavering gaze. "You're well-informed," she said. "I'm the leader of the Central US Martial Arts League. Tell your master, the White Dragon King, that John is under my protection. Anyone who dares to harm him will answer to me."
At these words, Bill shivered.
Although his master, White Dragon King, held the title of Venerable Man, his background paled in comparison to Bertha's. She was a leader of the Martial Arts League, an influential figure whose word carried weight in all corners of the world.
Bill, ever cautious, decided it was wiser to retreat for now and report back to his master before making any further decisions.
