An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1181

Chapter 1181 – The Needle Shot

“Whoa, is this guy out of his mind? How can he talk to Liam like that?” exclaimed one onlooker.

“This kid is insane, completely unaware of how serious this is,” added another.

“A warrior from a minor sect dares to challenge Liam, the elder of the Soul-suppressing Sect? He’s practically begging for trouble!”

The murmurs and gasps rippled through the crowd in response to Dustin’s audacious words.

People pointed and whispered, appearing utterly dumbfounded.

In the presence of a master like Liam, couldn’t one simply surrender? Offer a few apologies, perhaps a bit of embarrassment, but at least you’d save your life.

But no, this guy had chosen a different path. He knew he couldn’t win, yet he decided to confront Liam head-on. Wasn’t that sheer recklessness?

“What’s going through this guy’s head?” Serena furrowed her brow, genuinely not wanting to escalate the situation. Unfortunately, Dustin’s words had already taken the matter to an irreparable level.

It was no longer just about her; it was about the reputation and dignity of the entire Soul-suppressing Sect.

“Sir Dustin!” Aria said, his voice low and urgent. “He’s the elder of the Soul-Suppressing Sect. We can’t afford to offend him. We need to apologize quickly, or disaster will follow.”

Serena alone was already a formidable opponent. Now, with the addition of the more powerful Liam, their situation had become dire.

“Boy, what did you just say? I didn’t catch it. Would you be kind enough to repeat it?” Liam’s eyes narrowed, his face darkening ominously.

Since gaining fame, no one had dared to disrespect him like this.

“You didn’t hear me clearly? Alright, I’ll oblige,” Dustin replied calmly. “I said, even your master, Alexander Cheng, wouldn’t dare to address me this way. So, who do you think you are?”

As soon as those words left Dustin’s lips, Aria’s face turned ashen.
