An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1147

Chapter 1147: Goodbye Friend and Hello Trouble

“Ahh…”

General Murray sighed deeply. “The more exceptional a person, the more likely they are to be proud. Rebuilding trust can be an uphill battle. You’ve already made your choice regarding your friends, and even if he doesn’t hold it against you, things won’t go back to the way they were.”

“What should I do then?” Shiela started to feel anxious.

“Let it be. Time has the power to mend even the deepest wounds. Perhaps, in the future, you’ll have an opportunity to cross paths again,” General Murray said, shaking his head.

Despite his words, he knew deep down that certain things couldn’t be repaired. Once a rift had formed in a relationship, no matter how hard you tried to mend it, that divide would persist.

…

After leaving the General’s Mansion, Dustin drove back to the Zypher Lodge.

As soon as he entered the Lodge’s gate, he saw Cornelius running towards him in a fluster.

Cornelius was sweating profusely as he ran, and he called out urgently, “Master Dustin! Something terrible has occurred! It’s a major issue!”

“Hmm?” Dustin furrowed his brows at the news. “Why are you so worked up? Please, provide me with all the details.”

“It’s… it’s about The Goddess of War!” Cornelius said, gasping for breath.

“What’s the matter with her? You’ve encountered her before, haven’t you? Why are you so agitated?” Dustin raised an eyebrow, initially thinking it was a minor concern.

After going through numerous trials and tribulations, it was difficult for him to become overly concerned about such matters.

“Also… also…” Cornelius stuttered, “It’s not just The Goddess of War. Miss Natasha is here too, and they’ve already met!”

“What?” Dustin was taken aback, his composure wavering. “Why didn’t you mention that earlier?”

“I… I just did,” Cornelius replied, looking somewhat puzzled.

Moments ago, Dustin had appeared confident and resolute in his speech, but now he found himself feeling somewhat flustered.

“What’s the current situation? Are they in conflict with each other?” Dustin asked urgently.

He knew Scarlet had a fiery temper, and that worried him. She wouldn’t hesitate to engage in a physical altercation if provoked.

“They haven’t come to blows, but they’re definitely not getting along,” Cornelius replied, his anxiety evident in his voice.
