An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 990

After handing over the Shadowbloom, Iris turned back to stone. With her eyes closed, she stood unmoving.

She seemed to be reminiscing memories. She also seemed to be in deep contemplation.

"Thank you, Madam Iris, for the flower. I will always remember your generosity. Goodbye."

Dustin decided not to disturb her further when he saw her in her meditative state. After a deep bow, he staggered away.

Dustin would have been dead if Iris hadn't held back earlier. Her skills had already surpassed that of an ultimate grandmaster, and she was unmatched in the entire world.

"Sir, are you alright? You lost a lot of blood."

Abigail helped Dustin walk. The corner of her eyes was still stained with tears.

That was too close.

If it weren't because Iris took pity on him, Dustin would have died.

"I'm fine. I just broke a few bones. I won't die."

Dustin took out a tablet and swallowed it. He then slowly circulated his energy.

It was fortunate that he had a good foundation. Not to mention, Iris had held back. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to walk.

"Sir, you were stubborn earlier. We could have looked for another way without using the Shadowbloom. Why did you have to push yourself?" Abigail complained.

"We were out of time. I had to take a gamble." Dustin shook his head.

Natasha was in critical condition, and he wasn't sure how much longer she could hold on. If he missed this chance, it might be too late.

"You were willing to give up your life for the sake of a woman. I'm unsure if I should describe you as foolish or crazy in love," Azalea said.

If there were a man who would risk his life for her like that, she would never let him go. It was unfortunate that the man before her already belonged to someone else.

"Let's go. It's time we head back."
