An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 962

At 7:00 pm, Dustin, Abigail, and Azalea arrived as planned at the resort's restaurant.

The restaurant was spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Dustin noticed that there were already groups of people sitting together, chatting lively.

While there were a few tourists, most of the guests were martial artists who came for the treasure.

"Over here!" Vanessa called out as she waved at them energetically.

Dustin nodded in acknowledgment and led the others to her table.

"I'm glad you could make it. Please take a seat," Emily greeted warmly.

Nathan, who had appeared aloof earlier, perked up upon seeing Abigail and Azalea. He straightened up and tried to strike a handsome pose.

"Allow me to introduce my friends, Abigail Robinson and Azalea Larson.

"I hope you also don't mind having them, Ms. Hoyles." Dustin made a brief introduction.

"Of course not. The more, the merrier. Please, have a seat." Emily smiled and gestured for them to sit.

"Thank you." Dustin nodded before settling into his seat.

He noticed several unfamiliar faces besides Emily and her friends. Judging from their clothes, they were also most likely from Azure Mist.

Even the weakest fighter among them was a low-level martial artist. They were stronger than ordinary martial artists.

But they were still no match for major guilds who would also be competing for the treasure.

"Mr. Rhys, have you prepared to enter the Black Forest?" Emily started the conversation.

"What preparations?" Dustin asked curiously.

"The forest is full of poisonous creatures and ferocious beasts, so it's dangerous. You should carry antidotes, antivenoms, and other medicines before entering." Emily explained.
