An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 854

"If you don't stab me today, you won't get the chance again," Dustin reminded Nikki.

As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the sword in his abdomen and tossed it back to her.

"Hmph! I don't need you to tell me what to do! I'm here to say goodbye to my brother, so I'll let you live to see another day. When I'm in a bad mood again, I'll come to end your life!"

Nikki elbowed past Dustin and stormed toward the House of Heroes.

"Sir Rhys, why didn't you dodge just now? That woman is horrible. What if you got hurt?" Cornelius was very concerned.

"I owe her that." Dustin shook his head while looking serious.

Every time he remembered Nelson's horrible death, he felt remorse and guilt.

At least he felt slightly better after that stab.

"Sir Rhys, let's bandage your wound." Cornelius sighed softly. Then, he waved a disciple over and asked him to treat Dustin's injury.

As the gang leader, Dustin was deeply caring and loyal. Of course, that was a good thing.

But to become a hero and lead the Kirin Gang to glory, these traits would become burdens instead.

An hour later, Dustin was all bandaged up. He sat in the meeting room, waiting quietly.

After a moment, Nikki entered the meeting room. Her eyes were red, and she'd been crying earlier.

When she saw Dustin, she immediately wiped the tear tracks from the corner of her eyes and raised her head. "Hey, just because I stabbed you earlier doesn't mean this is over. You'll never make it up to my brother!"

"I know," Dustin said with a nod. He gestured to a chair and said, "Sit down and have some water."

"Alright." Just as Nikki was about to sit, she suddenly jumped up. "You think you can ask me to sit, and I'll listen? Do I even know you?"

"In that case, you can talk while standing," Dustin said indifferently.
