Chapter 2036 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âStop right there! If you dare to move, Iâll kill this woman!â A stern voice sounded behind Dustin.
When Dustin turned to look, he saw Embersteel Order and Harmonyâs Sect elites coming out of the hotel while holding Grace hostage.
Meanwhile, Sophia was pressing the knife against Graceâs neck with a fierce expression.
Dustin furrowed his brow, feeling a strong urge to kill. He could tell that Embersteel Order and Harmonyâs Sectâs sudden ambush today was all because of Sophia.
Old habits die hard, that was for sure.
Sophia would have long been dead if Grace hadnât saved her from Fantasy Sea Alliance. Not only was Sophia not grateful, she even pressed a knife against Graceâs neck.
Sophia had a death wish!
âWhy are you still standing there? Put down your sword!â
Sophia hid behind Grace carefully while the knife in her hand pressed against Graceâs neck.
Sophia knew Dustin had feelings for Grace. Thus, he wouldnât stand by and watch her die.
Without a single hesitation, Dustin flung the Celestial Blade to the ground.
Whether Dustin had a sword made no difference when dealing with people like them.
âKick over the sword, but be mindful not to be too near you!â Sophia ordered again.
Dustin nodded and kicked the sword.
Celestial Blade slid for several feet along the ground before stopping in front of Sophia.
After seeing that, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Dustinâs few moves just now were way too terrifying. Even the two sect leaders couldnât withstand it. They would have lost despite fighting him together if he had his sword.
The uneasiness in their hearts diminished slightly after Dustin lost his sword.
âNice! Thatâs my disciple, alright! Nice job!â Bertha was ecstatic after seeing the hostage.
She thought she was about to die just now. Unexpectedly, Sophia showed up with a hostage and pulled her out of danger. At that, Bertha felt more than proud of her.
âMaster Peach, are you okay?â Sophia asked.
âI still can manage.â Bertha struggled to stand up and stared at Dustin. âHeâs quite strange. We canât let our guard down.â
âDonât worry. As long as we have this woman, Dustin canât do anything to us! âSophia said confidently.
Even heroes had their weak spots. Although Dustin was very capable, he still had a soft spot for someone.
Grace was his weakness.
âSophia, you have a death wish. Let her go, and I can still spare your life. Otherwise, youâre dead meat!â Dustin said indifferently.
âHow dare you threaten me! Your woman is still with me, so you must obey all my orders. You donât have any right to go against me!â Sophia shouted, pressing her knife harder against Graceâs neck.
âDo you really think you can win?â Dustin narrowed his eyes.
Sophia sneered. âWhat else? I doubt youâll dare to mess around now that Iâve taken her hostage!â
âYouâll regret it.â Dustin glanced at Grace and didnât make a move.
âChester, I heard that Embersteel Order has a secret technique that can seal a personâs meridians. Please restrain them first,â Sophia declared loudly.
Although Dustin didnât have his sword, his high cultivation level still made it hard for anyone to fight him.
Thus, Sophia would only feel at ease after Dustinâs meridians were sealed off and his cultivation level was suppressed.
âYou two, go and have a try.â Chester turned around and shot a look at two of his sectâs elders.
