Chapter 643 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âUgh-!â Astrid froze. Astrid looked at Azalea, who had a smile on her face, and then down at the sword in her chest. She was filled with shock and disbelief. She never imagined that Azalea would kill her without hesitation when she was smiling cheerfully just a second ago. There werenât any signs. throughout the entire situation.
âWhat?â Dustin was also bewildered at the sudden turn of events. He had casually mentioned it without expecting anything to happen. He would never imagine that Azalea would not only take it seriously but also act without hesitation and plunged her sword straight into her seniorâs chest. He wondered if this woman was ruthless or just truly insane.
âW-why?â Astrid spat out the words with difficulty, glaring at Azalea with wide eyes. Mixed emotions flashed across her face-disbelief, fury, resentment, and defiance. But above all, confusion clouded her face. She couldnât understand why Azalea would kill her.
Was it solely based on Dustinâs words?
âDonât look at me like that, Astrid. You heard him. He asked me to kill you. Iâm in a difficult position as well. You wonât blame me, will you?â Astrid put on an innocent act.
âYouâ¦â Astrid was about to say something when she spat out a mouthful of blood.
âLook at you, you soiled my clothes.â Azalea patted the blood stains on her clothes in disgust before pulling out her sword forcefully. Following the sound of a sharp whistle, blood gushed from Astridâs chest, and her body went limp. She collapsed to the ground as life drained from her.
âAzalea, what are you doing?â The group of masked women was shocked to see Astrid fall. They never imagined that they would end up turning against each other.
âYou shall fall too.â Azalea opened up her palm and blew lightly at the masked women, creating a crimson mist that enveloped everyone present. Soon, the unsuspecting group of people, including Dahlia, fell unconscious to the ground.
They had set up various foolproof measures to deal with Dustin. However, they had failed to anticipate and have their guard up against the presence of a traitor.
âA-Azalea, you crazy woman. I canât believe you betrayed us. The Dark Lord will never forgive you! âWith her last breath, Astrid lifted her finger with difficulty, her expression filled with
resentment.
âYou donât need to worry about that, Astrid. Just go peacefully.â Azalea bent down and stabbed her once more, relaxing only after she was certain Astrid was dead.
After that, Azalea turned to face Dustin and smiled as she asked, âWhat do you think? Are you satisfied, doctor?â
âI donât understand. What do you mean by this?â Dustin frowned slightly, her actions coming off as strange.
âYou said to kill Astrid earlier, so I helped you to do so. Is there a problem?â Azalea tilted her head
in confusion.
Dustin could feel his eye twitching, and he added, âBut sheâs your senior from the same guild.â
âWhat about it? Isnât it normal for members of the same guild to kill each other in the martial world?â Azalea said it like it was a natural occurrence.
âYouâre truly insane.â Dustin shook his head. He could tell that the woman in front of him was not mentally stable.
