Chapter 754 Above The Rank Of A Master

An elderly, sage-like man dressed in a long robe walked over to them.

Even though he appeared carefree, he moved ten meters forward with every step he took and thus arrived right in front of the three members of Phoenix Organization in the blink of an eye.

Neither Aurora, Ashton, nor Bucker could react in time when the older man waved his arm, forcing a massive wave of energy in their direction.

The invisible aura pushed them dozens of meters back, causing them to be on guard and hesitate to take

any action.

"Who are you? Alex is the one we're after. Are you trying to save him?" Aurora yelled.

"I'll be protecting this man today. Those who intend to hurt him will have to go through me!"

The three first-phase Masters began to tremble in fear as soon as the elderly man cast a glance at them. and they nearly lost their balance.

With their thoughts having just been seen through, they now stood before him like vulnerable newborn babies, unable to fight at all.

But we're first-phase Masters, and there's three of us here! Alex Jefferson may be a second-phase Master, but we still managed to put up a fight with him! But why does it feel like this geezer can crush us to death with just one finger?

"Well, since you want him, we shall hand him over to you," said Aurora respectfully. "We have other business to take care of, so we'll be taking our leave now, sir."

After she gave Ashton and Bucker a glance, the three of them left without a second thought.

If we insist on killing Alex, not only might we fail, but we could even end up dying right here.

The man in the robes averted his gaze toward Alex after the three Phoenix Organization members had left.

Both of Alex's hands were deformed, his internal organs were severely injured, and he had three broken ribs-one of which had pierced his organ.

At that rate, he would not survive even if he were taken to the hospital right away. He should have been dead by then, but miraculously, he was not. Furthermore, there seemed to be a mysterious power healing his wounds. It progressed very slowly, but that was the one thing keeping Alex alive. There was a limit to the Pill of Vitality's effectiveness, so it would never be able to heal all of Alex's current injuries.

"Thank you...sir," Alex mumbled with much difficulty as he stared at the old man with gratitude. Who is this man? Why did he save me in the nick of time?

No matter how hard he racked his brain, he was certain he had never met the older man before. In fact, he could not even see through the latter's Mortal Force despite being a second-phase Master himself. Then, he thought of another rank but quickly dismissed it in disbelief. Of all the people I've met, it's rare coming across someone with the rank of a Master, let alone anything above that. But now that I think about it, he's

never even lifted a finger ever since he arrived, yet he managed to scare those guys from Phoenix Organization away just like that. Could it be that this man really is a Grandmaster?

"You should stop talking, young man. God knows how you're even still alive! You sure are a lucky one." The elderly man was puzzled since he had no idea Alex consumed a Pill of Vitality.

He sat Alex up before retrieving a bottle from his sleeve. Then, he opened the lid, and a black pill came rolling out.

"Here. Eat this," he said.
