An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 177

"You attacked out of turn!" Nigel held his bleeding nose and scowled at the assassins' leader.

Damn it, he didn't even have a chance to show off in front of Ruth! Where were his manners!

"It’s your fault for getting distracted in battle! Are you tired of living?" The leader sneered.

"Scumbag, you are getting on my nerves! I'll give you one last chance to kneel and beg for mercy, otherwise, I will roundhouse kick you in the arse!" Nigel glared at him viciously.

As he threatened, Nigel leaped into the air and did a somersault, looking quite impressive.

"Arrogant fool!" The assassins' leader’s eyes were cold as he and his remaining men rushed toward Nigel at once.

"Be careful, Mr. Lincoln!" The girls exclaimed in shock.

"Don’t overestimate yourself!" Nigel roared fearlessly as he took a step back to perform his special move.

He spun around like a spinning top, attacking the assassins ferociously.

His kicks were merciless and deadly; anyone who got close to Nigel was knocked down easily like dominoes. Even the assassins' leader could not withstand Nigel’s attacks and was blown off his feet.

In just a minute, all the assassins were defeated.

For that moment, Nigel seemed unrivaled and invincible!

"Wow, Nigel is amazing!"

"Oh my goodness, his fighting technique is out of this world!"

"As expected of Mr. Lincoln, he is truly a terrifying martial artist!"

Looking at the number of assassins who were lying incapacitated on the ground, everyone started complimenting Nigel. Their eyes were shining as they rained praise on their hero.

"This victory is not worth mentioning. They are just small fries!" Nigel stood with his hands behind his back, feigning nonchalance.

However, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Ruth while he spoke, with a haughty expression on his face.

"Mr. Lincoln, you were incredible! You make all of us feel safe just by having you around! Any girl would be lucky to have you as a boyfriend!" The girl in yellow held her hands to her chest, looking up at Nigel with admiration.

"You’re flattering me." Nigel smiled modestly.

"It's only natural for a man to protect a woman. I'm not like some coward who hides at the back and relies on women for protection. That's really pathetic!" Nigel looked at Dustin intentionally to prove his point.

"Hey, you! Didn’t you have a sharp tongue? Why are you not saying anything now? Are you dumb?" The girl in yellow sneered, her face full of disdain.

"If you ask me, someone here is all talk and no action. Most of the time, he is as arrogant as a peacock. However, when things go wrong, he is the first person to flee."

"Ruth, now it’s obvious which choice is better, right? If it weren’t for Mr. Lincoln, we wouldn't have been able to fight against these vicious people."

"That's right! When looking for a boyfriend, we should find a real man like Mr. Lincoln! As for the guy next to you, you should forget about him. What’s the use of having a cowardly and timid man around?"

At that moment, everyone was gossiping about the two of them.

Nigel proved his bravery and strength, while Dustin did nothing like a coward. Comparing the two, it was clear who was better.

"Dustin, why didn't you do anything just now?" Listening to the harsh comments of those around her, Ruth couldn't help but frown.

She knew that Dustin was skilled in martial arts, although not necessarily stronger than Nigel. However, dealing with a few petty assassins shouldn't be a problem.

"These small fries don't interest me," Dustin said nonchalantly.

"Small fries? You may be a coward, but your words are quite the opposite!"
