Chapter 1877 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Julius slowly opened his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he saw something in the corner of his eyes. Someone was standing outside the window.
That person was Dustin!
âWhat the heck!â Julius was so startled that he shuddered. Julius never expected that Dustin would be able to find the Dragon Guardâs secret base.
âGrand General Rhys, what happened? Was I too hard?â The beautiful maid was a bit scared.
âItâs nothing. Iâm a bit tired, so I would like to rest. You may leave.â
Julius soon calmed down. Then, he gestured for the beautiful maid to leave.
âYes, sir.â The beautiful maid didnât dare to reject, immediately leaving. After she left, Dustin swiftly entered the room and sat in front of Julius.
âDustin, why are you here?â Julius was shocked.1
Dustin smiled calmly. âI was scared as you didnât have any updates. Thus, I got here after searching around. However, it seems like youâre having a good time. Someone was even giving you a massage.â
Julius replied calmly, âItâs all Reaganâs arrangement. I suppose he wants to lure me to stay here by doing so.
âHowever, Iâve seen plenty of such methods in my life. Naturally, I wouldnât pay them much heed. Iâm just playing along.â
Dustin looked at him meaningfully. âIs that so? So youâve already seen Reagan. If thatâs the case, howâs the progress on the poisoning?â
Julius felt a bit helpless. âDustin, poisoning is one thing. However, I canât lose my life over it, right?
âLook at how tight the security is and how many martial artists are guarding the place. Even if I got lucky and killed Reagan, Iâll be dead meat.â
âDo you have other plans, then?â Dustin tried asking. Julius did indeed make sense. With how strict the security was, it would be hard to escape if they were surrounded.
âI canât say itâs a plan. However, we have a chance to make a move tomorrow. I heard that Reagan would leave the base and head to Celestria. Heâll also bring me along.
âWhen that comes, Iâll inform you in advance. You guys should set up an ambush halfway through his journey and catch him off guard!â
âThat seems like an opportunity.â Dustin nodded thoughtfully.
âYou should bring more men tomorrow just to make sure. We canât let Reagan get away,â Julius reminded.
âI will make the necessary arrangements. However, it mostly depends on you if we can succeed. Reagan is way too powerful. If he wants to escape, probably no one can stop him.
âOf course, itâs a different story if he was poisoned with Deicide Venom.â
âDonât worry. As long as your ambush goes successfully, Iâll seize the opportunity and deliver a fatal blow to Reagan!â Julius promised.
âOkay! Iâll wait for your good news tomorrow. Itâs now or never to exterminate Dragon Guard!â Dustin said seriously.
âYou should head back. You canât stay here for long. Itâs dangerous here. If you get caught, even I canât save you,â Julius replied.
âThank you. Once we succeed, Iâll give another Rejuvenatium to you.â
After smiling meaningfully, Dustin left without a trace.
His final words held a ting of warning. Dustin didnât fully trust Julius. There was a chance Julius would betray him if Dustin didnât have something to threaten him.
Now that Parasite Mother and its children were linked, Julius would face a gruesome death if he were to betray Dustin.
