An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 798

"What?" The sudden accusation took Dustin aback. "Dominic is dead?"

"That's right. It's all your fault, you murderer!" Gianna shouted angrily.

"Don't be stupid. What does his death have to do with me? Don't pin the blame on me," Dustin

replied.

"Stop lying! Dominic wouldn't have died if it weren't for your tricks!" Gianna shouted.

"Did you think we won't discover that you intentionally kept the lever at the max so you could trick Dominic into entering the pressure machine. The moment the door closed, Dominic exploded!" Devon growled.

Dustin was speechless by their stupid accusations. He had merely forgotten to return the lever to its initial position.

How could he have known that someone would be stupid enough to start the machine without looking at the lever?

He had never met such a dumb bunch. It was ridiculous that he was blamed for such an ignorant incident.

"First of all, I didn't plan anything, so I had nothing to do with Dominic's death. He died because of his actions alone." Dustin held his hand open.

"Yeah, right! I know you did it on purpose!" Gianna didn't believe a word he said.

"I've already explained myself. You can decide whether to believe me." Dustin couldn't be bothered to continue talking to those idiots.

"You've got guts, kid. How dare you walk away like nothing happened after killing someone?" Just then, a man in black emerged from the crowd.

Although the man looked ordinary, the sword he was holding gave off an imposing air. This man was the first disciple of Steeljaws Fellowship, Jared Yancy.

"And where did you come from?" Dustin raised an eyebrow.

"How rude! This is Jared. He's one of the five martial artists competing today!" Devon shouted.

"So what?" Dustin shrugged.

"You might have some skills, kid, but that's far from enough if you want to challenge me. Dominic's death can't be in vain, so you'll have to pay up!" Jared retorted icily.

"What kind of payment do you want?" Dustin put on a fake smile.

"If you break both arms, I'll let you live," Jared demanded.
