An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1741

Three minutes later, all the Dragon Guard assassins lay in a pool of blood. Dustin was drenched in blood. He staggered, barely holding himself up.

His life signs weakened, and his powerful energy dissipated. He was on the verge of collapse. The surroundings grew hazy. His heartbeat was near silent.

“After everything I’ve been through, I die at the hands of my own people. How ironic!”

Dustin chuckled softly as he looked at the knife in his chest. He grabbed it with both hands and pulled it out.

In an instant, blood sprayed.

Since death was inevitable, he didn’t want to have a knife stuck in him. As he pulled it out, the world spun. With a final thud, he collapsed.

Everything went black.

At that moment, Dustin’s pendant glowed and vanished into his forehead. As the pendant entered his body, it instantly transformed into a powerful energy coursing through Dustin’s limbs and bones.

The strange poison Cinna unleashed swiftly dissipated upon contact with this energy. Dustin’s previous internal injuries, including the fatal wound from the knife, gradually began to repair under the influence of this energy.

A vibrant life force emerged within this energy. It pulled Dustin back from the brink of death. Meanwhile, at a distant house, Grace suddenly shuddered and coughed up blood. Her once flawless face turned pale.

“What’s happening? Has the pendant been damaged?”
