Chapter 1089 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âSir Murray has given the Cherusia away.â Mrs. Patty shook her head. âHe gave it away? To whom?â Cadenâs smile froze. âA young man named Dustin.â Mrs. Patty told him the truth.
âWhat? He gave it to that brat?â Caden frowned, and his expression turned dark. How could he give a precious treasure like the Cherusia to a loser like Dustin? He was too foolish!
Even if Dustin had saved Sheila before, they had already rewarded him. Was it necessary to treat him that well? âCan we get it back?â Caden couldnât accept it. He had even confidently promised Diego. He didnât expect problems to arise so quickly.
âYou know Sir Murrayâs personality. He would never get something heâs given away back.â Mrs. Patty put down that thought.
âDamn it! Just what makes him worthy of such a treasure?â Caden was fuming. âMr. Caden, who is this Dustin? It seems like General Murray favors him.â
âHeâs no one. My father likes him just because he saved my daughter once,â
Caden explained. âFrom what youâre saying, it seems like Iâm not fated to get my hands on the Cherusia.â Diego narrowed his eyes.
âNot exactlyâ¦â Caden seemed to have thought of something. In a lowered voice, he continued, âMr. Diego, while we canât acquire i openly, we can always get it through dirty means.
âThat Dustin brat is no one. With the Bourbon familyâs influence, it shouldnât be hard to steal the Cherusia from him.â
âSteal?â Diego raised an eyebrow. âIsnât he on good terms with General Murray? Wonât I be offending the General by doing so?â
âIf you and I donât say anything, who would find out?â Caden smiled meaningfully. âBesides, my old man is just interested in him now. He wonât go to war over some poor kid.
âThereâs no need to worry; Iâll cover for you. Nothing would go wrong!â âOh? Is that so?â Diego was intrigued.
âSince you put it that way, Iâll take the risk and try it.â
âMr. Diego, please find a good opportunity to act. And if possible, after acquiring the treasure, it would be best toâ¦
Instead of finishing his sentence, Caden made a throat-slitting gesture. Since Dustin was so ungrateful, there was no point in keeping him alive. Fortunately, this was the chance to get rid of him through someone else.
âI understand. I will follow your request. I shall be leaving now.â Diego nodded before leaving with his two bodyguards.
âMrs. Patty, you are to keep todayâs matter to yourself, understand?â Caden glanced at her.
âI understand.â Mrs. Patty nodded. âAlright, Iâm going to train my cultivation now. Wait outside, and donât let anyone disturb me.â Caden waved dismissively.
After Mrs. Patty left, Caden hid the Raikiri well. He then sat on the bed and began to train silently. Soon, a layer of dark energy appeared on the surface of his body. The ominous and chilling dark energy immediately lowered the temperature of the room, turning the room into an ice chamber.
As he continued to train, his body suddenly trembled, and he broke out in sweat. Veins bulged on his face, and his expression contorted in pain.
The next second, Caden spat out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.
