An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 815

Torres' dagger was made of darksteel, which was virtually indestructible.

Stabbing someone with the dagger should have been like a knife cutting through butter. Then, why had he not been able to harm Dustin? Who exactly was he?

"Are you still going to put up a fight?" Dustin slowly turned around to face him, his gaze sharp.

"Go to hell!"

Torres took a step back, creating distance between them. At the same time, he threw a volley of poisoned darts at Dustin. They rained down on him instantly.

With a cold expression, Dustin simply brushed them away with a wave of his hand.

With a whoosh, Dustin reflected all the darts at Torres.

Unable to dodge in time, most of the poisoned darts hit Torres. He fell to the ground on the spot.

As he tried to get up, Dustin placed his foot on Torres' chest, pinning him. Torres could not move.

"Spill! Who on earth are you?" Dustin looked down at him, an impassive look in his eyes.

"I'm someone you cannot afford to cross. So get the hell off me and let me go, or you'll regret the day you were born!" Torres threatened fiercely, despite the disadvantageous position he was in.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Dustin put force on his foot, cracking Torres' ribs one by one. Torres bled from his nose and mouth. A deathly fear gripped him.

"Alright! I'll speak!" Seeing how his chest was about to collapse from the pressure, Torres lost his cool.

"I'm a Shadowslayer assassin from Kimboku. I've been hiding in Dragonmarsh all this time, collecting information on all of you."

"Kimboku? Shadowslayer?" Dustin widened his eyes in surprise.

Kimboku was Dragonmarsh's nemesis. Both countries had always had ongoing friction and disagreements.

As for Shadowslayer, it was one of the top three sects in Kimboku. It produced many assassins who specialized in collecting intelligence and carrying out secret operations.

Shadowslayer assassins were a mystery. They rarely ever made an appearance and were always in hiding.
