An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1899

“Where’s the treasure map?” Dustin demanded.

“It’s in Reagan’s underground secret chamber. I can take you there,” Cinna replied.

“Underground secret chamber?”

Austin narrowed his eyes and warned in a low tone, “Cinna, I warn you not to play any tricks. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to get tough on you.”

Secret chambers were usually equipped with potential traps and hidden weapons. He was concerned that Cinna might have some malicious intentions.

“Now that I’m backed into a corner, I won’t even think about deceiving you,” Cinna said, his expression filled with discomfort.

“Lead the way.” Dustin nodded, signaling his guards to escort Cinna.

Cinna suddenly said, “Wait, I need one of Reagan’s hands to open the secret chamber’s vault.”

“No problem!” Austin unsheathed his knife, swiftly severing Reagan’s right hand and handing it to Cinna.

“There you go, a gift for you.”

Cinna winced but stayed silent as he led the way.

Dustin and his companions trailed behind Cinna as they entered the base. When they reached the command room entrance, Cinna opened the door and casually strolled to a hanging painting.
