An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1936

Five minutes later, Garrett returned to the room pooled with sweat.

“Ms. Nicholson, you were right. Most of our men were poisoned. Thankfully, you gave us a bottle of Curax. Otherwise, we’d be in deep trouble.”

“Nobody died, right?” Grace asked.

“There’s a few people that were severely injured and couldn’t move. However, it’s not life-threatening,” Garrett answered.

“That’s good.” Grace let out a sigh of relief.

There was a hint of anger in her eyes.

Grace never provoked anyone, but she was not one to let things slide, either. The culprit had used such a sinister way to harm them. There was no way she could let it go.

“Captain Wilder, pick a few subordinates to investigate who’s behind this. Let me know once you find something,” Grace ordered.

“Yes!” Garrett answered before going out the door. His Black Scorpion Squad members were also poisoned, so he was similarly furious.

“Ms. Linsor, something bad has happened! The village chief is in danger!” Osley, Grace’s private butler, exclaimed as he hurried inside.

“What happened?” Grace raised an eyebrow.

“The village chief called me just now to take the camel and pay the balance. However, his house was a mess when I got there, with many people injured or dead.

“I’m not sure what happened to Ryan. He suddenly went berserk and killed anyone in his way. He was so fierce that nobody could stop him,” Osley explained anxiously.

“How could this happen? Wasn’t Ryan just fine a while ago?” Grace furrowed her brow.

“I’m not sure what exactly happened, either. However, all of the village’s forces have been informed of this matter,” Osley replied.

“Let’s go and take a look!” Grace led them out the door after a brief contemplation. A few hundred armed young men were surrounding a man with messy hair in the village center.

The man’s eyes were bloodshot, and veins were bulging on his face. His muscles swelled, making him seem like a crazy beast.

The man was no other than Ryan from Arcane Path Guild. However, he was no longer as sickly as before. He was now energetic and powerful, not to mention he had completely lost his mind.

He would tear anyone’s limbs apart if they got close to him. In just a few minutes, multiple corpses lay on his feet, blood staining the ground.

“Die! I want all of you to die!” Ryan roared, mirroring that of a beast.

At one point, a black line appeared on his body. The lines were like earthworms and looked extremely strange. It started from Ryan’s chest and kept spreading.

Ryan’s skin and bories would be strengthened tremendously wherever the black limes touched.

Nobody there was able to stop him.

“Quick! Tie him up now!” Kayson was ordering the village’s young men.

Those young men were all part of the envoy team he formed, specially trained by skilled teachers. They were a team of elites that could deal with bandits effortlessly.
