The Dark King â Chapter 506
Hailey was stunned at Aishaâs word. She laughed out loud: âA round? Do you mean that you can beat me in a move? âŠHaha⊠sister, do you really think that anyone will believe you? Why didnât you dare to take the challenge if you had such skills? Why did you abstain? Itâs because of your fear of failure. You have been flying in the sky for long and far off from the ground. The taste of loss must feel bitterâŠâ
âAlright.â Aisha indifferently said: âYou are right. Iâm scared.â
Hailey was frozen for a moment when she saw her sister admit the loss. She had already perceived her sister as a lofty person who wonât bow in front of anyone. She was puzzled but quickly reacted. Hailey grinned as her white teeth were shown: âOh sis. I wonât laugh at you..After allâŠâ
âI listened to you out of courtesy.â Aisha interrupted her words as if an elder person was teaching a younger generation.
Hailey expression turned gloomy.
Aisha continued: âI didnât accept the challenge because I feared that I wonât be able to control my strength and kill you on spot. In that case⊠no one would be able to replace me as a saint.â
Hailey was startled but still smiled: âOh sister. I really want to see you ability after you talked that way! Donât forget that I am also a pioneer! Although my constitution is still inferior to your but it wonât be so easy to beat me! Its just too unrealistic! â
Hailey sneered: âI have yet to learn the secret skills of the Dragon King but because of that all my life I practiced common fighting arts. Iâve grasped them in full! What about you sister? You were only focused on the secret arts of Dragon King. Did you forget already? Elders clearly set the rule and said that they prohibited the use of secret arts of Dragon King!â
âItâs true that you would be far better than me if you relied on those secret arts!â
âMoreover, you have been relying on those skills for so long that you would instinctively use one of those skills and lose to me! However, if we rely on common combat arts then you donât have a chance even though your experience in much richer than mine!â
Haileyâs lips curled up: âElders had decided for ten rounds to make it sure that the battle was foolproof! In fact you canât beet me even in 20 or 30 rounds! But I prayed for us to fight! I wanted everyone to see my strength. I have put so much effort in silence for so many years! I wanted to use you as a stepping stone in my ascension!â
Aisha quietly looked at Hailey.
Hailey chuckled: âUnfortunately for me you are way too clever. You ainât a fool! But you wonât be so luck the next time!â
âI told you, you are misunderstanding everything.â Aisha tried to correct her sister.
Hailey laughed: âOh.. I wonât be pulled down by you! Sister, donât forget that you canât go on for long time on your own! You lost to me because of that! Do you know why elders support me instead of you? Because you are too lofty and disdain them!â
âNo one likes to grovel to others! Elders have long been tired of looking at your lofty face. But I am different. I crawled out from the bottom and I donât care about the stains. Iâm good as long as Iâm successful! I had nothing but I promised that that they would get their âfaceâ when I become the saint!â
âYou are way too proud! Way to silly! â
Hailey smiled as she stared at Aisha: âWhat did you do for clan? How many things have you done for the clan? But at the end, who cares?â
âIn this world, no one would say thanks unless you give them something!â
âNo one cares about the overall good that you think you do. They only want to see the individual results that they get.â
âYou may have put painstaking efforts for the good of all, but what about the people that matters? You have criticized the people that matters for the sake of everyone. Who cares?â
âAs a result, the elders have seen you as only a tool because they were aware of your importance! But I am different. They will get the sweet words that they want to hear from me. I have changed the whole scene!â
Aisha was silent.
Hailey couldnât help but smile as she saw her sister stay speechless. She said all of this to make a heavy blow to her arrogant sister! She wanted Aisha to lose her confidence. She wanted Aisha lose faith and confidence in clan and elders. This way Aisha would never think about getting back her position as a saint!
She wasnât afraid.
Hailey never missed a chance. Even if there was a small probability of crisis she would grab that chance to get what she wanted.
It was because of this cautious, step by step, moves that she was able to go from nothing to sainthood. She was able to climb to the highest position possible at this point. Entire family was under her control except patriarch and dragon mother.
Moreover, as the saint of the clan she was would be dragon mother one day!
She would be the new dragon mother as long as she kept her identity. She just had to wait for patriarch and dragon mother to pass away. Afterwards she would become the supreme power in the dragon clan. She would be able to veto the proposals and decisions of the elders. She would be the real decision maker!
âSister, I will bother you to continue to guard the wasteland until I learn the secret arts of the Dragon King.â Hailey grinned from ear to ear. Anyone that looked at her right now would think that she is just a naĂŻve teenager if they didnât hear her previous claims.
Aisha sighed: âIt seems that you are really grown up.â
Hailey laughed: âMy sister was standing at the peak so she couldnât see my growth.â
âTrue.â Aisha nodded and smiled: âYou take time studying the secret arts of the Dragon King. They are a bit difficult to learn. You can ask dragon mother if you donât understand anything. Until then Iâll stay in guard in your stead.â
Hailey froze up for a moment when she saw her sister smile. She looked at Aishaâs eyes: âSister, are you smiling to cover the pain in your hear?â There was concern in her tone and expression but the words were full of malicious intent.
âPain?â Aisha smiled.
Hailey continued: âIt seems to me that you were very concerned about the identity of saint. You have lost it now so you should feel very desperate, donât you? The thing is that despair and pain was given to me by you in an early age. Iâm giving all of it back to you now.â
âDesperate? Pain?â Aisha smiled: âYou are wrong. Itâs most happy moment of my life as Iâm freed of responsibilities. â
âSister, you arenât good with words. Always trying to look brave, cold and so on.â Hailey smiled: âDonât you know that a woman is the most beautiful when she is soft and weak looking?â
âWeak?â Aisha softly said: âAll the women in the giant wall can be weak but not me!â
Hailey looked at her sister. She went through her memories but couldnât find a time when her sister had shown such a real smile.
