Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1045 The Master of Disguise

Over the next few rounds, despite their quick attacking speed, Leonard and Elder Myron stillcouldn't manage to snatch Duchess Silver away from the man with the bamboo hat, let alone gethalf a meter near him.

The jaws of those who witnessed the scene dropped to the floor because they never expected theman in the bamboo hat to be a strong spirit manipulator. But to their astonishment, Leonard andElder Myron whose strengths were at the premium grade of the Supernal Stage still weren'tsuccessful in snatching Duchess Silver from the mysterious man. The feeling of shock they all feltwas inconceivable!

As Leonard and Elder Myron continued their fierce fight to grab Duchess Silver from their opponent,the maid who had previously delivered a message rushed to the third floor.

"My Lady, someone has captured Duchess Silver successfully. However, two warriors who areunwilling to admit their defeat are trying to grab it and are currently in a battle with its captor!” themaid reported hurriedly.

"Someone captured Duchess Silver?” Sabina asked in disbelief. She always thought that unless itwas a peerless master of the Divine Stage, it would be nearly impossible for even a master at thepremium grade of the Supernal Stage to conquer and capture her Duchess Silver.

She shared the same sentiments with her father, Elvis.

In the midst of all their confusion and doubt, the father and daughter immediately walked to thepavilion corridor. As they gazed below, they found Leonard and Elder Myron locked in a battle withthe man donning the bamboo hat.

Sabina's gaze fell on the stranger. What astonished her wasn't just that he managed to captureDuchess Silver, but that he skillfully avoided his opponents’ attacks as if he were just taking aleisurely stroll in a courtyard.

"This is no ordinary man. Even the chief of the Xiong Clan and Elder Myron can't take Duchess Silveraway from him." Elvis noticed that the man in the bamboo hat appeared to hide his true strength."Could he be..." Sabina pondered as she took a closer look at the stranger and then at DuchessSilver, who she noticed stayed close to him. Suddenly, she trembled as a thought came to her. Shejumped out of the pavilion corridor and landed on the first floor.

"Sabina?" Seeing his daughter's abrupt behavior confused Elvis even more. He didn't understandwhy his daughter was in such a hurry to get to the battle below.

By then, everyone gazed at Sabina whose robe floated around her like fairy wings as she landed.They all frantically rushed towards her.

She was surrounded by a large group of people once she made it to the first floor.

"Get out of my way!" Sabina shouted.

Suddenly, the crowd parted to allow her to pass through and rush straight toward the three menstill locked in combat.

"Chief Leonard! Elder Myron! Don't you think it's unfair for you two to bully the weak with yourseniority and strength? And let's not forget that you outnumber him!" Sabina questioned them withher icy stare.

"Miss Sabina, you've misunderstood our intentions. Elder Myron and I were suspicious of this man,all the more because he covered his face. We suspected that he may be plotting something evil toharm you, so we thought it would be best to take him for interrogation. However, this person haswillfully disobeyed us and failed to cooperate. Am I right, Elder Myron?" Leonard explainedimmediately, his voice high-pitched and a subtle change of expression on his face.

"Yes, you're right. That's exactly what happened!" Elder Myron nodded in agreement.

Sabina glared at the two before addressing the man in the bamboo hat, "Since you've managed tocapture Duchess Silver, you've passed my test. Follow me." She then turned and walked towards thepavilion

The unknown man followed her.

Seeing this, Leonard and Elder Myron weren't willing to accept her decision. They immediatelystopped her and warned, "Miss Sabina, this person is highly suspicious. We can't let you be alonewith him."

"You're being unnecessarily annoying and nosy. And he isn't an outsider. I know him," Sabina repliedstraight away.

"You know him? Then please ask him to take off his bamboo hat and reveal who he really is," ElderMyron requested.

The rest of the crowd shared the same feeling and began to make noise.

"Stop hollering! He's my... my man... Are you all satisfied now? He has a place in my heart. Now stopbothering me!" Sabina commanded fiercely after biting her pink lips and spewing out these words,lest these people harass her again.

Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They never heard of Sabina replaceing a man, and thisman in particular was strange yet powerful.

Her father had just walked out of the pavilion when he heard her utter those words. He gazed at theman in the bamboo hat and immediately sensed a strange aura around him. Although very faint, heknew that this man possessed great strength, yet he was hiding it. Even Elvis failed to decipher thisman's true power.

"Sabina, who is he?" Elvis asked his daughter.

"I'll explain later, Father. I'll leave everything else here to you," Sabina said at once.

Just as the two of them were about to enter the pavilion, the man in the bamboo hat suddenlyremembered something. Under the watchful eyes of the public, he searched within his leather baghanging from his waist and took out a crimson crystal. He turned to face Duchess Silver and said,"This is a gift for you."

Once more, the crowd found themselves astonished. Anyone with eyes could see that this was avery rare red spiritual crystal.

Many of them burst into an uproar and were even stunned because the prices they offered for theDuchess Silver wouldn't be enough to buy even half of such a spiritual crystal, let alone a completeone. Even if one had enough money to buy such a rare and priceless crystal, it would still be difficultto purchase since very few of them were circulating in the market.

No one would've expected this man, who looked like a servant, to casually present a red spiritualcrystal and give it to Duchess Silver.

Now Leonard and Elder Myron appeared to have a gloomy look on their faces.

After feeding Duchess Silver on the red spiritual crystal, the stranger followed Sabina into thepavilion.

Upon entering the pavilion, Sabina immediately dismissed all the maids as she led the man to thetop floor where they could be in private.

"How did you know it was me? I thought I was a master at disguising myself," he asked her with asmile as soon as they were alone.

"Even if you turned to ashes, I could recognize you. Take off your bamboo hat,” Sabina said throughgritted teeth as she turned and glared at him. However, her eyes were filled with strong emotionsthat she couldn't seem to hold back any longer.

The man eventually removed his hat and revealed his face. It was no other than Rocky, who had leftthe Myriad Beasts Ground two days ago!
