An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 825

"Dustin, I can't help you openly. But if you ever run into any problems, you may come to me in private," Ronald told him sincerely.

"Thank you, Sir Reeds." Dustin was thankful.

"Now that things have come to this, you should watch your back." Ronald shook his head and sighed before walking away.

"Sir Rhys, you were too rash to take the poison! Why would you risk your life like that?"

Cornelius sighed heavily. He really couldn't understand why Dustin would take the pill.

"Even if we can't defeat them, we can take a few down with us. I refuse to believe that all of them aren't afraid of death!" Cornelius retorted defiantly.

"Alright. There's no point discussing this anymore. Your main focus now should be to find the culprit as soon as possible!" Dustin said seriously.

"What about you, Sir Rhys?" Cornelius asked with his brow furrowed.

"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. Go on." Dustin waved his hand to dismiss them.

"Yes, sir!" Cornelius answered and led his men away.

"Sir Rhys, your nose is bleeding!" Nelson suddenly exclaimed.
