An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1972

"How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak like this?" Jackson couldn't help but feel furious seeing Sophia getting threatened.

Initially, Jackson wanted to solve it calmly and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

However, he didn't expect the members of Fantasy Sea Alliance to be so arrogant. The latter had disregarded Emberson Steel and attempted to forcefully seize Harmony Sect's treasure.

They were simply going too far!

"You—" Just as the Fantasy Sea Alliance's member was about to speak, the middle-aged man raised his hand to stop him. "Everyone, treasures are worldly things. It's nothing compared to your own life. I doubt you guys wouldn't understand this, right?"

"So what if we do understand?" Jackson narrowed his eyes.

The middle-aged man replied indifferently, "Since you understand, you should hand over the treasure. You lose some, but you win some.

"We'll immediately leave once we get the treasure, and we won't make things difficult for you guys. How about it?"

At that, Sophia glared at him and shouted, "In your dreams! Even if I die, I won't give the treasure to despicable scoundrels like you!"

Upon hearing that, the middle-aged man's expression turned gloomy. The group of Fantasy Sea Alliance members immediately shot daggers at her.

"Elder Lucius, why are we wasting time with them? We should just kill all of them!"

"That's right. We're more in numbers. There's no way we would be scared of nobodies like them!"

"It's not the first time we killed people to get the goods. There's nothing much to worry about!"

The members of Fantasy Sea Alliance shouted one after another.

In their eyes, Jackson and Sophia were just sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

They could still spare the duo if they hand over the treasure. However, Jackson and his team were doomed if they refused their terms.

"Elder Lucius, I don't think you should be scared of Emberson Steel's influence. Although they are powerful, they are fewer in numbers. We don't need to be scared of them at all.

"If we can get rid of all of them without leaving a trace, nobody will suspect that we did it," a member of Fantasy Sea Alliance whispered.

Upon hearing that, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. It was obvious he was tempted.

The reason why the middle-aged man didn't make a move was because of Emberson Steel's influence.

However, upon second thought, nobody would know what they had done. They were in the middle of nowhere, after all.

Thus, there was nothing to be worried about if they just got rid of everyone.

With that in mind, the middle-aged man puffed out his chest. His gaze turned icy. "I'll give you one more chance to give up the treasure. I can still spare your life.

"Otherwise, you'll need to bear the consequences!"

"Let's see if you can actually snatch our treasure!" Sophia was not scared at all.

Sophia unsheathed her dual blades, gesturing for them to attack.

The dual blades were called Harmony Saber, with one shorter than the other. This was a unique weapon of the Harmony Sect.

The two blades shone brilliantly, dazzling in the light.
