An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2207

"Don't worry, Luke. Since you hired us, consider your troubles taken care of. We're here to help," one of the Bovens twins reassured him.

"That's right. You just sit back and watch how we deal with this troublemaker," the other chimed in.

The twins bantered back and forth confidently as if victory was already in their bag.

Luke glared at Abigail and shouted, "Hey, troublemaker! Did you hear that? If you're wise, surrender now. Otherwise, today will be your last."

"Enough with the chatter. Let's get this over with. I've got dinner waiting upstairs," she retorted impatiently.

"Arrogant fool!"

"Get ready to face our wrath!"

Enraged by her words, the twins quickly grabbed their weapons and charged forward.

Their choice of weapons was rather peculiar. One brandished a spear, while the other wielded an iron abacus.

The iron abacus beads were released with a flick of the wrist. They shot out like hidden weapons as it rained down on Abigail.

Simultaneously, the spear lunged forward like a charging lance aimed directly at her.

Their coordination was flawless as they hid their deadly intent.

First, they used the barrage of abacus beads for distraction. Then, it was swiftly followed up with the spear for the finishing blow.

For an ordinary martial artist, countering such a tactic would be next to impossible.

But Abigail was far from ordinary. As the Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order, ranked second on the Legendary List, she didn't even bat an eye at the Bovens brothers' attack.

"Is this the best you can do?" She snorted contemptuously and raised her hand.

A surge of internal energy exploded like a crashing wave and scattered the incoming abacus beads in all directions. It sounded like hailstones were pelting the surroundings.

"Go to hell!"

Taking advantage of Abigail's momentary distraction, the elder Bovens brother lunged forward with his spear aimed at Abigail's chest.

Yet, she remained unfazed. She effortlessly intercepted the spear midair with two fingers.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he was shocked at what had happened. He couldn't believe their meticulously trained killing technique had been effortlessly thwarted.

"Is that the best you can do?" Abigail's eyes glinted with deadly intent.

"You've walked right into our trap, troublemaker!" The elder Bovens brother's grin turned sinister as he swiftly triggered a hidden mechanism on the spear.

Suddenly, a Frost Needle shot out from the spear's tip.

The Frost Needle was among the top ten hidden weapons. It was crafted to pierce through protection armor energy and had a freezing effect.

Once it struck a vital point, it spelled doom regardless of how advanced one's cultivation was.

This Frost Needle was the Bovens brothers' last resort. They kept it as a last line of defense.

When he sensed the imminent threat of death, the elder Bovens brother decided it was time to unleash it.

At such close range, he knew it was impossible to evade it. "Hmph! Let's see you survive this!"

Just when the Bovens brothers believed victory was assured, Abigail surprised them by clamping down on the Frost Needle with her teeth.
