An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1179

“If you’re not skilled enough, you shouldn’t even think about trying a surprise attack.” “Being brought down in a single move is embarrassing, and now, you’ve also lost your dignity.”

“If I were you, I’d probably look for a place to hide.”

When Toddy’s surprise attack failed, the crowd erupted in laughter at his expense. Their faces were full of scorn and mockery. Dealing with such public humiliation. was hard for anyone.

“No… this can’t be real.”

Surrounded by ridicule, Toddy began to doubt himself for the first time. He was the strongest senior disciple in Moonlight Reverence. With his exceptional talent and strength, he was destined to become a grandmaster.

Yet, he had suffered a humiliating defeat and injured himself in a failed surprise attack. He wondered if the difference between them was so great or if he really lacked the ability.

“You ungrateful punk! I spared you, and you still had the gall to launch a surprise attack?” Josie’s expression turned icy. “If you want to die, I won’t hold back!”

She unsheathed her sword and lunged at him. The blade cut through the air with a sharp, chilling sound.

“Ah!”

Toddy was stunned. He tried to stand, but his legs were trembling. He was paralyzed with a sense of impending doom.

“No!”

At this crucial moment, Lyn stepped forward. She shielded him with her body. “Are you playing with fire?” Josie sneered as she continued to advance with her sword, the blade closing in on them.

Just as she was about to deliver a fatal blow, a silver needle shot out. It intercepted the sword and flung it aside. The force was so powerful that Josie staggered before regaining her composure.

“Who did this?” Josie’s sharp eyes searched the surrounding area. Those who met her gaze raised their hands and proclaimed their innocence.

Dustin stepped forward and said, “Ms. Yale, I couldn’t care less about the outcome of your duel. But please spare the innocent bystander.”

He didn’t care about Toddy’s fate, but it would be a shame if someone as loyal as Lyn died. “Who are you?” Josie frowned as she scrutinized Dustin. She felt like she had seen his face before but couldn’t pinpoint it.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. I beg you to show mercy and not make matters worse.”

“And if I refuse?” Josie countered. “Then, I’ll have to intervene,” Dustin replied. With a flick of his finger, another silver needle shot out. It happened too fast for anyone to see.

Josie, however, felt a cool breeze against her ear. As she turned, she noticed one of her hair strands falling gently.

“Hmm?” Her eyes widened, and she became even more alert. She had no idea what Dustin did or when it had happened.

No one in the vicinity, including Josie herself, had noticed Dustin’s entire maneuver. In other words, if he had intended to kill her, she might have been dead already. They all felt that Dustin’s hidden weapon was truly frightening.
