An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 644

"Doctor, not only did I betray my guild for you, but I also killed my senior. You're so mean for calling me that." Azalea pouted with a bitter expression.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Dustin questioned her.

"Don't overthink it. I just want to be friends with you, nothing more," Azalea said with a grin.

"I don't think I can afford to be your friend. There might come a day where you'd thrust a knife into my back," Dustin responded bluntly.

"Hey, I can't bear to do that. Besides, if anyone is thrusting anything, it'd be you." She smiled charmingly.

The corners of Dustin's mouth twitched upon hearing her words. Did this woman just make a dirty joke?

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving." Unwilling to stay any longer, Dustin prepared to leave and picked up the unconscious Dahlia.

"Hold on." Azalea suddenly took out a small vial and passed it to Dustin. "This is the antidote for Tranqurin. You should take it. Otherwise, you'll have serious long-term effects."

"There's no need. I wasn't poisoned." Dustin shook his head.

Azalea was taken aback. "You weren't poisoned? But you were sweating and lost your strength."

"You guys can't be the only ones allowed to act, don't you think?" Dustin replied nonchalantly.

Although Tranqurin was powerful, it was only effective against martial artists below the rank of grandmasters. When used against grandmasters, its effects were greatly diminished. The remaining effects of the poison would be easily neutralized.

"You pretended so well that even I couldn't tell." Azalea was in shock for a moment, then she rolled her eyes. "If I had known you weren't poisoned, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk and killed my senior. I just put myself in trouble."
