Reaper of the Martial World

Book 9: Chapter 11: Two Beauties (2)

“Are you serious?” Clara looked at Dyon like he had lost his mind. Ri, who stood to the side, was giggling uncontrollably. As for Amphorae, she hardly reacted aside from a slight smile.

“Of course.” Dyon nodded seriously.

His staunch attitude only made Ri laugh harder. This husband of hers was too much.

“There comes a time in every man’s life where he must show off to the greatest degree.” Dyon continued nodding to himself, maintaining his stoic expression. “I must have two beauties by my side for my reappearance, no matter what.”

Clara glared at Dyon. “I’m not your trophy.”

Dyon ignored Clara’s words, looking toward little Alauna. “What do you think, Little Precious?”

Alauna clapped happily. “Two beauties, two beauties!”

“See? The little princess has spoken.”

Clara rolled her eyes even more fiercely as Ri wiped her tears.

Dyon walked over and placed Little Alauna in the flustered Amphorae’s lap. It seemed he had finally found her weakness.

After a wink, he swept Clara and Ri into his arms with only a single destination in mind: The Epistemic Tower.

That was right. Dyon insisted on it. If he was going to make a grand reappearance, he needed two beauties by his side. It was practically a law of the Heavens.

**

The tower had been exceptionally quiet for two years.

Before Dyon’s appearance, territory wars had been spreading wildly in preparation for the descent of the Ancient Battlefield, but as the months ticked away and signs of the battlefield had yet to make themselves known, the ire clans and sects had for one another began to die down.

Of course, this wasn’t the only reason why. Namely, the matters of two years ago were simply too shocking.

Rumors of the dark side of the Sapientia Clan, endless assaults on the Sacharro Clan, and even the appearance of dao experts on the celestial floors, there was simply too much.

Then there was the appearance of the Mortal Network and the matters surrounding Clara Gallagher. To this day, those matters were still relative question marks.

Who was Clara truly? What was her connection to the Sacharro Clan? Who was the red-headed beauty that saved her? Did the Sapientia really cheat Clara? Or were the Sapientia tricked by the Sacharro Clan into building the Mortal Network for them?

The wild speculations ran rampant with no explanation. Even Dyon himself seemed to ignore these matters entirely, something that seemed odd for his personality.

Dyon’s wife was attacked and even launched a counterattack on the Sapientia, yet Dyon suddenly appeared in the Enigmatic Sect with the same red-headed beauty that saved Clara? And come to find out that this red-headed beauty was also his wife?

The martial world was lit afire again and the speculation became even more wild.

People began to wonder what Dyon was thinking. He had just finished antagonizing the Sapientia, and now he was antagonizing the Enigmatic Sect as well? Some even believed that Dyon was expressing some sort of dissatisfaction with Madeleine.

Not only had Madeleine not appeared for two years, she had seemingly left the Flaming Lily Sect hanging.

The Flaming Lily Sect disciples were completely without protection, and now that the two-year mark was almost up, the safeguard around Middle Lily City was about to collapse. Any way you looked at it, it seemed that not only had Dyon abandoned them, but so had Madeleine.

All of this was only further fueled by Dyon’s silence.

The usually loud and boisterous young man, willing to lay waste to anyone and anything that dared touch his reverse scales, had suddenly disappeared. Like a flash in a pan, he vanished.

That was until just two weeks remained to that two-year mark.

The whole world watched as Dyon appeared once more on the lower celestial floor with two beauties by his side.

Some immediately realized that his appearance and demeanor had changed vastly… There was a heavy pressure around him that hadn’t been there before, it felt as though the whole world was bending around him violently, as though even if things weren’t meant to go his way, that they would anyway.

But that was when a shocking realization overcame them. The two beauties by his side… Alexandria Snow… Clara Gallagher…

The martial world felt as though a nuclear bomb had been set off. Waves of devastation tore through the Mortal Network as thousands of articles and videos were posted in an instant.

The world suddenly understood. They understood why the masked wife stealer had completely humiliated True God Anak all those years ago, they suddenly understood that Diasho Ken’s action in Sapientia City, questioning whether or not he treated Ri well after going so far to defense Madeleine, had been completely out of line, they finally understood that Jaws and Dyon had always been one in the same.

However, maybe it was because of all of these sudden jaw dropping realizations that the last thing everyone noticed was where Dyon had appeared. In all their shock and awe, it took them too long to understand the gravity behind where Dyon had chosen to make his reappearance.

After two years, completely gone from the public eye, Dyon had suddenly reappeared above Low Sapientia City as his arm slowly raised forward.  

“The Sapientia have no place among the tower quadrants any longer. If you don’t want to die, I’ll give you 3 seconds to piss off.”
