An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2225

“Huh?” Aurora was startled by Dustin’s words.

Removing the needles would mean death within three hours. Wasn’t that practically a death sentence?

“Hmph! I don’t care about your ethereal -whatever technique. If you can’t cure Alicia, you can only blame yourself for the pain you’ll be in!” Brian said coldly.

Dustin glanced at him and retorted, “If you can’t be of any help, then please keep quiet. Your constant blabbering is getting on my nerves.”

“Why you-” Brian gritted his teeth but ultimately restrained himself from lashing out.

If Dustin had managed to cure Alicia, Brian would have had nothing to say. But if he failed, Brian would undoubtedly teach Dustin a lesson.

“Dr. Rhys, what do we do now?” Aurora changed the subject.

“Take good care of your sister, and make sure nobody touches her. I’ll go back and prepare the antidote now,” Dustin said.

Then, he winked at Grace before leaving the room.

“Aurora, remember what Dr. Rhys said, “Grace reminded her before following him and exiting the room.

Once outside the villa and ensuring there were no eavesdroppers, she couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer. “What’s going on? Is there something suspicious about Alicia’s illness?”

She could tell he wasn’t telling them everything earlier.

“Yes.” Dustin nodded solemnly. “Alicia isn’t poisoned, but she is under witchcraft.”

“Witchcraft?” Grace raised an eyebrow.

He said solemnly, “I’ve examined Alicia earlier, and there was a dark energy within her. It’s potent and defensive, which makes it difficult to remove. It’s a powerful spell that drains vital energy. At this rate, she’ll have about three days left.”

He had just engaged in a battle of energies using his mystical pure energy against the dark energy within Alicia. But she might die before he succeeded.

“With such potent witchcraft, does it mean the Mystic Arts Order is involved? “Grace began to speculate.

As a disciple of the Regal Observatory, she knew her way around witchcraft pretty well. Dealing with regular witchcraft was a breeze, but whatever was inside Alicia seemed next level.

Apart from the high-ranking members of the Mystic Arts Order, she couldn’t think of anyone else with such abilities.

“Does Alicia have any vendetta against the Mystic Arts Order?” Dustin asked.

“I’ve never heard of any.” Grace shook her head. “But the members of the Mystic Arts Order are known for their impulsiveness and tendency to engage in questionable activities.”

He remarked, “While the Mystic Arts Order may not adhere to conventional morality, they’re not entirely unreasonable. Without a deep-seated grudge, they wouldn’t resort to such drastic measures.”
