Chapter 2127 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âI donât dare say itâs a brilliant idea, but itâs simple and effective. If we can grab the opportunity, it shouldnât be difficult to catch the killer.â Dalen said with a smile.
âMr. Shade, your idea isnât bad. One question, though. Whoâs going to be the bait?â Crystal quickly grasped the main problem.
The most difficult part was to choose who to be the bait.
The person must be a contestant and extremely skilled, daring to take the risk. This way, the bait could come out unscathed when faced with the killerâs attack.
Otherwise, they might lose the bait and let the killer escape.
âWellâ¦â Dalen shook the folding fan and looked toward Dustin meaningfully.
Although he didnât speak, it was obvious who he chose.
Crystal suddenly patted Dustinâs shoulder and announced, âThereâs no need to choose. I think Dustin is a good fit! He can even block Kendricksâ attack. Iâm sure heâll be safe when faced with the killerâs attack!â
âThatâs right! If Dustin agrees to take part, Iâm sure he can get rid of the killer without our ambush!â Miles nodded with a smile.
Without anyone noticing, Miles had flattered Dustin again.
Dustin raised his eyebrows and rebuked, âMe? Iâm not trying to reject, but the killerâs target is the contestants. I havenât even signed up, so Iâm not his target.â
Crystal grabbed his arm and replied hurriedly, âItâll just take a few minutes to register. Letâs go! Thereâs still time, and the sun hasnât set yet. Letâs go and register!â
âIs there a need to be in such a rush?â Dustin was quite speechless.
âItâll be a shame if we miss this opportunity. After tonight, itâs unsure how many young and talented martial artists might die. Youâre now a hero respected by many, so you should shoulder this responsibility!â Crystal advised.
âWait a minute! Iâm no hero. Plus, heroes usually are short-lived. What if I got killed on this mission?â Dustin answered.
âYou donât need to worry. Weâll definitely protect you, so just relax and go!â Crystal patted her chest, trying to get Dustin to rely on her.
A weird look appeared on Dustinâs face. He wondered how they were going to protect him if they couldnât even protect themselves. They were basically talking nonsense.
âDustin, weâre not going to force you if youâre not willing to. However, we should all work together to overcome this difficulty in such a situation.â
Dalen was serious.
Among all of them, Dustin was the most suitable.
Plus, Dustin had gotten rather famous after the battle with Marco and Kendrick. With just a little embellishment, he could easily attract the killerâs attention and successfully carry out the bait plan.
Of course, Dalen understood if Dustin thought it was risky and refused. After all, nobody would be willing to bet on their lives.
âI can be a bait. However, I have a condition,â Dustin suddenly said after thinking it over.
âDo tell us. I wonât refuse as long as I can fulfill it,â Dalen declared resolutely.
âItâs simple. Let me handle the killer once we capture him. Iâm quite interested in him.â Dustinâs face was solemn.
âNo problem. As long as he doesnât threaten the martial world anymore, you can deal with him as you want!â Dalen agreed.
Everyone glanced at each other and nodded.
They didnât care who was the killer as long as they could get rid of him.
