An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1639

A resounding crash echoed as the stone door descended, deepening Dustin’s furrowed brows. It wasn’t fear that gripped him but the sheer displeasure at Edvan’s actions.

Entrusted by the Prince of Carsonne to ensure Dustin’s safe descent, Edvan had instead led Dustin into a well- prepared ambush. It was a betrayal far more infuriating than mere bystander apathy.

“Logan, no need to look around. This place is no man’s land-no savior will come for you. Today marks the end for you!” A masked man with a wolf’s head confidently stepped forward, his voice projecting loudly.

“Anders,” Dustin replied coldly, ” Hiding behind a mask, are you too ashamed to show your face?”

At these words, the man behind the wolf-head mask hesitated for a moment, then erupted into a boisterous laugh. Rather than denying it, he casually removed the mask, unveiling his true identity. It was Anders.

“Surprisingly, you have a keen eye, spotting my disguise,” Anders expressed his surprise. He hadn’t anticipated Dustin being able to recognize him immediately, especially considering he had concealed his presence and changed his voice.

“Looks can be concealed, voices can be changed. But that disgusting stench you carry remains unforgettable,” Dustin calmly retorted.
