An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 830

"You found him?" Dustin's expression turned grim. "Who was it?!"

"An assassin from Shadowslayer. He'd laid low in the Hill family for many years. Today, when Sir Paul had his guard down, he drugged and killed him!" Felix reported.

"It was the Shadowslayer again?" Dustin frowned slightly. "Where's the murderer? Were you able to track him down?"

"According to our investigation, he's hiding in a house at the foot of Mount Shinefield," Felix answered.

"Gather all the elite warriors in the gang and head to Mount Shinefield for a manhunt! We can't let him get away!" Dustin ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Felix said. He turned around and left.

Twenty minutes later, Dustin led over a hundred elite members of the Kirin Gang. They charged their way up Mount Shinefield.

In order to not spook the target, they didn't notify anyone else. This operation was kept under close wraps.

When they got to Mount Shinefield, the sky was almost completely dark.

Yesterday, Mount Shinefield was bustling with excitement because of the Knighthood Society tournament.

Yet, it seemed very deserted tonight.

Gazing at the horizon, the entire mountain was pitch black. It looked like a deep abyss, ready to swallow its victims.

Dim moonlight fell on the ground, casting blinking light.

"Dear, I think something's not right here," Natasha suddenly said after everyone got down from the car.

"What's not right?" Dustin swept his gaze over the surroundings. He began to survey it carefully.

"It's too quiet." Natasha shook her head. "A mountain should be teeming with animals, but if you listen closely, you can't hear a single sound."

Her intuition was telling her that something was amiss.

"Ms. Harmon, it's already dark. The animals have to rest too, right? What's strange about it?" Nelson said, unconcerned.

"Don't you know that many animals are nocturnal?" Natasha frowned slightly.

"Really?" Nelson was dumbfounded. He never graduated middle school, so he really hadn't known.
