An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2036

"Stop right there! If you dare to move, I'll kill this woman!" A stern voice sounded behind Dustin.

When Dustin turned to look, he saw Embersteel Order and Harmony's Sect elites coming out of the hotel while holding Grace hostage.

Meanwhile, Sophia was pressing the knife against Grace's neck with a fierce expression.

Dustin furrowed his brow, feeling a strong urge to kill. He could tell that Embersteel Order and Harmony's Sect's sudden ambush today was all because of Sophia.

Old habits die hard, that was for sure.

Sophia would have long been dead if Grace hadn't saved her from Fantasy Sea Alliance.

Not only was Sophia not grateful, she even pressed a knife against Grace's neck.

Sophia had a death wish!

"Why are you still standing there? Put down your sword!"

Sophia hid behind Grace carefully while the knife in her hand pressed against Grace's neck.

Sophia knew Dustin had feelings for Grace. Thus, he wouldn't stand by and watch her die.

Without a single hesitation, Dustin flung the Celestial Blade to the ground.

Whether Dustin had a sword made no difference when dealing with people like them.

"Kick over the sword, but be mindful not to be too near you!" Sophia ordered again.

Dustin nodded and kicked the sword.

Celestial Blade slid for several feet along the ground before stopping in front of Sophia.

After seeing that, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"How dare you threaten me! Your woman is still with me, so you must obey all my orders. You don't have any right to go against me!" Sophia shouted, pressing her knife harder against Grace's neck.

"Do you really think you can win?" Dustin narrowed his eyes.

Sophia sneered. "What else? I doubt you'll dare to mess around now that I've taken her hostage!"

"You'll regret it." Dustin glanced at Grace and didn't make a move.

"Chester, I heard that Embersteel Order has a secret technique that can seal a person's meridians. Please restrain them first," Sophia declared loudly.

Although Dustin didn't have his sword, his high cultivation level still made it hard for anyone to fight him.

Thus, Sophia would only feel at ease after Dustin's meridians were sealed off and his cultivation level was suppressed.

"You two, go and have a try." Chester turned around and shot a look at two of his sect's elders.
