An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 774

"Let him go, or die!"

Seeing Dustin held hostage made Scarlet see red. The temperature seemed to drop a few degrees. Even the lights started flickering.

The Zen Order disciples who were on the ground shivered in fear.

Scarlet had only intended to teach them a lesson, but she was now filled with murderous intent.

Dustin was her boundary, and anyone who dared to cross that line would face her wrath, no matter where they might try to hide in the world.

"I'm warning you! Don't make any sudden movements, or I'll kill him!" Joel threatened.

He never expected Scarlet to be so strong. He knew he wasn't a match for her.

His only chance was to use the hostage in front of him to turn the situation around.

"If you release him now, I won't kill you. But if you lay a finger on him, I'll destroy your entire guild!" Scarlet threatened coldly.

"Cut the crap! We're in control now!" Joel glared at her. "I order you to step back!"

Scarlet took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger, before taking a few steps back.

"More!" Joel demanded.

Scarlet didn't want to risk it and continue stepping backward, her eyes locked on Joel the entire time.

"Hmph! I admit that you are strong. But, so what? You still have to follow my orders." Joel smirked, looking triumphant.

"Joel, you're the best!"

Daniel and the rest of the disciples were encouraged by the situation. They finally saw hope to turn things around.

Everyone had their weaknesses. As long as they exploited those weaknesses, what could their opponents do?
