Chapter 906: Why the All-Matter Sect Wants Stella (1/2)

Luckily, Liam had been warned by Stella. The shaking of his body was only internal, and one couldn't see anything on the outside.

Another interesting thing was that Liam didn't show any fear in his eyes, and he also didn't glance at the corner of the halls. This meant that Liam didn't know that Gravis had a beast body.

'Stella had kept this secret of mine from her brother,' Gravis thought. His heart was warming at the fact that Stella kept his secrets safe even from the closest person in her life. This was an incredible show of trust.

Liam glanced at Gravis, but his eyes only had a complex mix of emotions inside them.

Surprise, a bit of wonder, a bit of hope, and a bit of rage.

Liam had no idea what he should think of Gravis.

On one hand, Gravis had done something horrible to his sister.

On the other hand, Gravis had solved Stella's issue with her Will-Aura.

Under normal circumstances, Liam would still hate Gravis, but it was difficult to feel hatred towards Gravis now.

Why?

Because Liam knew that Gravis was here to help them escape.

Would a monster risk their life and pay so many Immortal Stones for these emblems just to save the two of them? Liam had already received his emblem when Stella had grabbed his arm.

If Gravis had only been ready to save Stella, Liam could still rationalize hating him. After all, Stella cared about Liam, and Liam knew that. If Gravis wanted to use Stella like everyone else, he would have ignored Liam.

Yet, he had also spent 50 million Immortal Stones for him, a person that hated Gravis.

Gravis was not a kind person, and Liam knew that. Gravis wouldn't save anyone that hated and despised him.

However, for Stella, Gravis was even willing to make such a sacrifice for Stella, all so that she could feel happy.

Gravis and Liam didn't like each other, but Gravis still helped Liam just for Stella.

Because of that, it was difficult for Liam to hate Gravis right now.

Liam and Stella stopped beside the Sect Master and looked at the people gathered.

Liam had known about this tournament, but he had not expected Gravis to be here.

However, to him, even though he hadn't expected Gravis to be in the tournament, if Gravis took part, it wasn't surprising that he was in the finals. If Gravis took part in this tournament, there would be no one that could stop him in the same Realm.

Yet, when Liam saw Gravis' opponent, he still became nervous.

Liam knew Gravis' Battle-Strength very well, but there was a gigantic issue with Gravis' opponent.

Winning against this opponent didn't require someone to have a great Battle-Strength. In fact, it was basically impossible.

If Gravis were at the same level as the Holy Son Candidate of the All-Matter Sect, he could win, but not with a level disadvantage.

The last minutes passed, and it was finally time for the fight.

Gravis and the Holy Son Candidate entered the arena, and the signal to begin had been given.

Yet, the two of them didn't directly fight.

Instead, they were only looking at each other.

A normal onlooker might be confused, but the upper echelon of the Nine Elements Sect knew what was going on.

Gravis and his opponent were conversing with their Spirits.

”Why do you want to marry Stella?” Gravis asked.
