An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2009

"Save your breath. None of you will be leaving with any treasures from here!" The taunting words echoed, followed by laughter.

A horde of martial artists streamed in, swiftly sealing off the exit. Among these martial artists, two distinct factions emerged—the elites of the Drakes Dominion Order and the Frostwing Sect.

Notably, familiar faces like Yonah and Bran stood out in the crowd.

The combined forces of the Drakes Dominion Order and the Frostwing Sect not only boasted increased numbers but also featured a substantial influx of skilled elites. Virtually every official, guardian, and elder from both sects was in attendance.

It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that more than 80% of the total strength of both factions had been assembled.

"Ms. Linsor, we meet again!" Bran sneered, and his eyes filled with greed.

Upon entering the palace, the floor sparkled with gold and silver treasures. The tomb, in particular, held precious items, like the tempting pool of soul elixir. The allure was irresistible.

Despite the need to share the spoils with the Drakes Dominion Order, the gains promised enough power to elevate the Frostwing Sect into a force to be reckoned with—a sect renowned across the world.

Yonah advanced, drawing his sword with a menacing presence.

"Put down your weapons, hand over your jewelry, and maybe you'll get to walk away in one piece. Anyone brave enough to resist will be handled without mercy."

The elites from the Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect had just arrived, and Yonah remained undaunted. Not even Dustin posed a concern for him. After all, despite Dustin's strength, he was just one person.

The combined forces of the Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect comprised dozens of accomplished elites, some halfway to becoming a grandmaster and even two grandmaster martial artists. With this formidable force united, dominating the southwest seemed within their grasp.

"Ah, shoot! They've got the elites from both the Drakes Dominion Order and the Frostwing Sect in the mix. This just turned into a real mess," Garrett muttered, wearing a grim expression. Just as they laid their hands on those treasures, unexpected hurdles popped up.
