An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1822

Dustin was bathed in blood, exuding a dangerous presence. His black shirt was now dark crimson from the enemy’s blood. The Celestial Blade in his hand was quivering and buzzing softly. It felt as if he would attack anytime.

“Damn! How is he so fast?”

Atticus’ face paled when he saw Dustin standing before them. He thought that the royal guards would keep Dustin occupied for a while.

He had no idea they had been defeated, and Dustin was already catching up with them.

“We’re trapped! We’re in trouble now!” Ignatius was getting anxious. They were fighting alone now. They were trapped between two skilled fighters and couldn’t fight back.

It’d be better if it were just Elijah. He might not kill them due to their status. However, this assassin was different.

They saw how he killed ruthlessly and efficiently on the battlefield. If they resisted him, he might just kill them immediately.

“Atticus, what should we do now?” Ignatius asked, gulping in fear. Atticus sighed when he heard Ignatius and said with despair, “What else can we do? We have nowhere to run now. If we don’t want to die, we can only surrender.”

“Surrender?” Ignatius frowned. ”

Atticus, we just staged a rebellion. If we surrender, we’ll be exiled if we’re lucky. If not, they’ll publicly execute us! Regardless of the outcome, we’re doomed!”

“Of course I know that. However, we really have no other choice.” Atticus glanced at Dustin, who was ready to kill and looked at Elijah, who was still standing bravely.

He said bitterly, “Rather than being killed, we would at least be alive if we surrender. Besides, Grand General Rhys hasn’t made his move yet. As long as we’re alive, we can still regain what we lost!”
