302 Chapter 302 Desmond Vs Zi
“Is there really no way to convince you?” Sitting in the loft with a glass of wine in hand, i Fei Long asked as she let the night wind wash away so of the bitterness she felt at the ti.
But Desmond didn’t reply imdiately, instead, he watch her silently for a mont as he drank so wine before replying with another question for her: “Could I convince you to leave Xiauyue?”
That answer was more than enough, i knew it because she will never give up Xiauyue so Desmond’s question couldn’t be clearer.
“What about us?” i couldn’t help but ask in a slightly hoarse voice as tears began to form in her eyes.
And yet her pain did not serve to change Desmond’s face as he replied: “You will be fine, you will have each other, the difficulties you will face will not be few but I am sure you will be fine... you do not need .” ”
“What if I need you?” i asked with a trembling voice that only belied how unstable her emotions were at the mont.
Her question caused for the first ti during this conversation sothing deep in Desmond’s determined eyes to shiver but it was only for a brief mont, a mont of weakness but nothing more.
i saw it, how could she not see it when all her attention was on Desmond at that mont and it was at that mont that she knew the answer to her question... Desmond would never put her above the person who was waiting for him at ho.
That realization stung her, a stab of pain i hadn’t felt in a long ti pierced her heart as she realized that no matter what she did, Desmond would still walk away.
.....
Then the pain turned to anger and without warning, i lunged at Desmond sending him flying with a punch before she angrily stord out of the room and straight into her room.
Pained in more ways than one, Desmond didn’t get up from the ground and instead just adjusted his posture to look up at the night sky as he pondered what had just happened.
“I guess I asked for it... I should never have gotten so involved” But deep down Desmond didn’t regret his decisions so far, the truth is that in one way or another he had really enjoyed his ti in this world; that of course includes the ti he spent with i Fei Long and Miao Xiauyue.
Perhaps his only regret was that both girls have very strong roots in this world and their own goals, Desmond knew that even if he tried to convince them, the girls would never accompany him back to his world and he didn’t want them to do it.
Not because he didn’t want to take the girls with him and instead it was because Desmond didn’t want to interrupt the flow of life for the girls because if they continued as they were, It would only take a couple of years at most before the girls managed to get the kind of life they most wanted and got sothing that many wanted... A fairy tale ending.
But that would be different if Desmond took them with him, he would expose them to a whole multiverse of threats and chaos that would never let them have the peace they both longed for.
Not to ntion that Desmond already had enough on his plate with Sasha and Claire, for the young hunter it didn’t matter how much he would appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the female sex; he didn’t plan on putting together a collection of beauties.
For all of the above, Desmond simply decided not to even ntion the subject to i or Xiauyue because doing so would only cause more harm than good. With all those thoughts in mind, Desmond spent almost an hour taking in the night sky before one of the sand tribe girls ca over to ask if he was okay.
After saying goodbye to the kind girl, Desmond got up with a renewed spirit and a determined look, at the end of the day it did not matter if his fate would have to separate from the next day; Desmond still had a lot to do before he sat down to moan.
With those thoughts in mind, Desmond sped off in the direction of the sect master’s residence to chat with Miao Xiauyue’s father and learn how the negotiations with the other sects had gone.
Just as Desmond had expected, nothing out of the ordinary happened and all the sects gladly accepted the proposal made by Miao Taolong, with all the benefits offered, no sect thought more than a second before agreeing to go to war and they even seed eager to go straight out and slaughter the Blood Scorpion Sect.
Given the attitude of these sects, even the mastermind behind all this felt quite defenseless against the warlike and ruthless attitude of the people of this world, of course, Desmond being the one who orchestrated said war, his opinion on the matter was quite hypocritical.
Personal opinions aside, Desmond was very pleased with the current progress of his plans which made him feel sowhat better about him leaving knowing that he had at least done one last thing to help the girls get their happy ending.
Who would have thought that Desmond would end up running into Xiauyue by accident while he was visiting the sect master’s hall which led to an argunt very similar to the one Desmond had with i Fei Long.
That way the next morning when it was ti to resu the tournant and the duels, several people looked strangely at Desmond who had just arrived at the place but already had a bruise on each side of his face as a result of his conversations with both girls.
Another detail to note is that both Desmond and i had arrived separately at the scene, giving him a resentful look i let out a slight “Hmp” before reluctantly walking over to Desmond’s side and sitting down next to him.
As upset as the little dragon woman was, i still didn’t have the heart to simply ignore a person who was so important to her, especially when she knew that person would be gone soon.
It was a very awkward mont filled with a lingering silence until it was ti for the duels to begin and Desmond’s na was brought up to attend the arena.
Unable to suppress her concern, i still warned Desmond with a hesitant voice: “Be careful.”
Slightly taken aback by the gesture, Desmond only used his hand to gently and lovingly rub i’s hair before going up on stage... he didn’t say a word, no words would be able to repair the rift that had inevitably ford in their relationship at the ti so that just a simple and loving gesture would be enough.
Deep down, no matter how strong Desmond’s resolve was, he still felt sowhat despondent at having to abandon the bonds he had forged in this world, but he had to be stronger than that, his destiny would take him to travel hundreds of worlds and he couldn’t just shatter each ti a farewell took place.
Unaware of Desmond’s dejected emotional state at the ti, the evil scorpion Zi took to the stage earning boos from the audience denoting how hated his character was; not that Zi cared.
Arriving at the center of the arena, Zi was quick to notice that his opponent seed sowhat distracted, a fact that greatly annoyed him, so Zi did not hesitate to make so venomous comnts that Desmond did not even listen clearly.
Interestingly though Desmond wasn’t really paying attention to the asshole in front of him, just being snapped out of his gloomy thoughts annoyed Desmond greatly.
Having lost the restraints that Kyuru had placed on him, Desmond at the mont was not the kind of person soone wanted to provoke, especially when he was in a bad mood; it was a pity Zi didn’t know.
What happened next was the fastest duel ever seen in the history of martial arts tournants, with only a silver flash and a reddish flash appearing briefly in mid-air followed by the sound of tal on tal rubbing and the sound of spilling blood just before Zi hit the ground.
The entire audience could only stare in shock without really understanding what had happened and it wasn’t long before the audience beca agitated for answers.
In the end, a high-level mber of one of the sects stepped forward to clarify what had happened, it turned out that both Desmond and Zi had used extrely similar techniques that focus on speed and extre lethality resulting in an exchange of one single movent where the fastest won.
Such an explanation left everyone speechless, one had to know that as much as the public hated the evil scorpion Zi, the man was still feared for his speed-based killing technique; so it was almost unthinkable that soone would beat him at his own ga.
Little did everyone present know that in his anger Desmond had pushed to its absolute limit and then exceeded those limits with the use of to such a level that his left arm had been almost crippled for the resulting damage.
Only then had Desmond been able to absurdly win his duel against the evil scorpion Zi who should actually be stronger than Desmond.
