An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 780

"Ahh!"

Devon screamed in despair, seeing the sword coming at him. He never could have expected the charming woman to act so ruthlessly out of nowhere.

It was evident she held absolutely no regard for Boulderthorn.

"Stop!"

"No!"

The unexpected turn of events shocked the Boulderthorn disciples. However, it was too late for them to stop her.

"Don't kill him, kid," Dustin said just in time.

There was a sharp whistle as Scarlet's blade stopped mere inches from Devon's throat. A thin line of blood formed as it grazed his skin.

Had Dustin spoken out a second later, Devon would have been lying in a pool of his own blood.

Devon gulped. His face turned pale. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

The terror in his eyes never went away. He had very nearly met his end.

Just where did this crazy bitch with such hatred come from?

They weren't even enemies. It was scary.

"Do that again, and I will send you to hell," Scarlet said icily.

Devon shivered involuntarily. A wave of unease washed over him. He had no doubt that Scarlet genuinely intended to kill him just now.

"How dare you ambush Devon? You've got the nerves!"

The Boulderthon disciples recovered from their shock. Then, they began to make noise. They believed that Scarlet would never have defeated Devon if it hadn't been an ambush.

"Desmond, Thomas, Dominic … Don't waste your breath on them. Catch them all as a warning to the rest!" Gianna yelled.

The four major branches of Boulderthorn were named after the Four Symbols. Noel led the branch known as Steeljaws Fellowship.

Today, most of Steeljaws Fellowship's disciples were present. That was why Gianna was so arrogant.

"Get them!"

Following Desmond's order, the disciples closed in on Dustin and Scarlet.
