An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1973

Looking at the several figures escaping a distance away, Jackson was stunned. "W-What?"

He didn't expect Sophia and the others would leave so quickly. They even left without informing Jackson.

Even if they needed to retreat, they should have at least told Jackson.

By doing this, it seemed that they were leaving Jackson and his team to fend for themselves.

"Jackson risked his life to save them. Yet, the Harmony Sect's disciples just left like that. How ungrateful!" Hiding nearby, Garrett couldn't help but shake his head in disgust.

"It's hard to predict what people are thinking. It looks like Jackson's fiancée isn't a good person."

"How pitiful. Jackson ended up in this situation just because of a few ungrateful brats."

The crowd gossiped among themselves.

Emberson Steel and Harmony Sect were alliances, while Jackson and Sophia were engaged.

Normally, they should work together to face the enemy when in danger. They could even create a remarkable love story this way.

Unexpectedly, Sophia had betrayed Jackson without hesitation.

It was chilling how ruthless she was.

"Jackson, Ms. Jaden has already run away with the others. What should we do now?" The Emberson Steel's disciples soon found that something was off while fighting.

Instantly, their expression turned gloomy. They risked their lives for Harmony Sect's disciples. Yet, the latter had escaped without a word, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Nobody could accept such a betrayal.

"Things have already come to this. We don't have a choice but to fight with all we've got!" Jackson gritted his teeth and fought even more fiercely.

"Hey! Are you guys dumb? They betrayed you, yet you're still risking your life over here. Is it worth it?" the middle-aged man scoffed.

It was unlucky for Fantasy Sea Alliance to stumble upon such stubborn people.

"Stop talking nonsense! If we're going to fight, let's fight for real!" Jackson yelled.

"Fuck! What a bunch of maniacs!" While yelling, the middle-aged man ordered his subordinates, "You two, each lead a team and go after that woman. The treasure is still in her hands. Don't let her get away!"

"Yes, sir!" The duo answered. Then, they led several Fantasy Sea Alliance members in the direction where Harmony Sect's members disappeared.

The rest of Fantasy Sea Alliance's Members continued to fight against Emberson Steel's disciples.

Even if several people had left, Fantasy Sea Alliance still overpowered with their numbers.

Thankfully, Jackson and his team were capable and fought courageously. At this point, the members of Fantasy Sea Alliance didn't even fight them seriously.

Of course, the biggest reason was that fighting the disciples of Emberson Steel was like shooting a fish in the barrel in their eyes. Thus, they didn't find the need to risk their lives.

The best choice was to hold them off with their human wave tactic.

"They can't hold on any longer. Everyone, go and support them!" Seeing the disciples of Emberson Steel in danger, Grace didn't wait anymore and ordered everyone to attack.

Instantly, almost a hundred people rushed toward the battlefield.

Fantasy Sea Alliance was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Jackson had taken the lead just now and bore most of the pressure. Thankfully, he was extremely skillful and managed to hold his ground.

"Someone come and bandage Jackson!" Grace called a medic to heal the injured people.

At this moment, a shrill shout sounded from far away.

"Oh no! Sophia is in danger!" Jackson's expression changed. He immediately took his sword, not even paying attention to his injury.

An Emberson Steel's disciple immediately stopped him. "Jackson! The disciples from the Harmony Sect are a bunch of ungrateful people. Do you still want to go and help them?

"Don't forget that they're the ones who dumped us and escaped by themselves. They brought it upon themselves if they encountered any danger right now!"

"Don't put it that way. They were also heavily injured. Perhaps they chose to retreat as they were scared of dragging us down." Jackson tried to argue.

"Don't be so foolish, Jackson. They don't care whether we die or not!" the Emberson Steel's disciples shouted.

Anyone with a sense of gratitude and loyalty wouldn't have betrayed Emberson Steel like that.

Even if they wanted to retreat, they should have at least told Jackson.

"Let's talk about this later. I can't stand by and watch Sophia in danger!" Jackson was a bit anxious. After pushing his disciple away, he rushed toward the source of the scream.

"Jackson, you fool!" The few Emberson Steel's disciples gritted their teeth resentfully.

However, they had no choice but to follow them despite being injured.

Although they despised Sophia for her betrayal, they couldn't just look on as Jackson risked his life.
