Chapter 644 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âDoctor, not only did I betray my guild for you, but I also killed my senior. Youâre so mean for calling me that.â Azalea pouted with a bitter expression.
âWhat exactly are you trying to do?â Dustin questioned her. âDonât overthink it. I just want to be friends with you, nothing more,â Azalea said with a grin.
âI donât think I can afford to be your friend. There might come a day where youâd thrust a knife into my back,â Dustin responded bluntly.
âHey, I canât bear to do that. Besides, if anyone is thrusting anything, itâd be you.â She smiled charmingly.
The corners of Dustinâs mouth twitched upon hearing her words. Did this woman just make a dirty joke?
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâm leaving.â Unwilling to stay any longer, Dustin prepared to leave and. picked up the unconscious Dahlia.
âHold on.â Azalea suddenly took out a small vial and passed it to Dustin. âThis is the antidote for Tranqurin. You should take it. Otherwise, youâll have serious long-term effects.â
âThereâs no need. I wasnât poisoned.â Dustin shook his head.
Azalea was taken aback. âYou werenât poisoned? But you were sweating and lost your strength.â
âYou guys canât be the only ones allowed to act, donât you think?â Dustin replied nonchalantly.
Although Tranqurin was powerful, it was only effective against martial artists below the rank of grandmasters. When used against grandmasters, its effects were greatly diminished. The remaining effects of the poison would be easily neutralized.
âYou pretended so well that even I couldnât tell.â Azalea was in shock for a moment, then she rolled her eyes. âIf I had known you werenât poisoned, I wouldnât have taken such a big risk and killed my senior. I just put myself in trouble.â
âI appreciate your goodwill. Consider me indebted to you this time.â Dustin changed the subject. No matter how he could have settled the situation himself, she did help him and even gave him. the antidote voluntarily. Naturally, he had to accept her kindness.
âIâm reassured by your words.â Azalea chuckled and gave a satisfied smile. âOh, by the way, you need to stab me before you go.â
âStab you? Why?â Dustin was perplexed.
âWe should complete the show. My seniors are dead, and I wonât be able to explain it to my mentor if I return back unharmed. So, I need your help to stab me in the chest.â Azalea opened up her coat as she spoke, revealing her voluptuous bosom.
âIs that necessary?â Dustin frowned. âThe Dark Lord is not a good person. The venomous curse has been dispelled from your body anyway. He wonât be able to control you any longer. Why do you still continue to be his disciple?â
âI didnât expect you to care about me, doctor. Donât worry, Iâll be fine. Iâll leave when the time is
right, but now is not the time.â Azalea smirked.
âIâm just giving you advice. The specifics are up to you.â Dustin left it to her to decide instead.
âCome now. Leave me a memento.â Azalea spread her arms as if she was ready to be slaughtered.
Dustin was helpless. He had no choice but to pick up a dagger and stab her in the chest. His aim was precise, avoiding any lethal areas and sensitive parts.
Azalea hissed. âThat really hurt!â
âYou got stabbed for no reason; of course, it hurt.â Dustin took out a pill and handed it to her, saying, âThis is Haemotrol. Itâll help you heal faster. Take it when you see fit.â
âThanks, doctor.â Azalea smiled sweetly. It appeared as if she remembered something as she suddenly said, âOh, right. Itâll be the New Year soon. Ask the Harmons to be careful. They might have a difficult year ahead. My mentor, the Dark Lord, has arrived at Millsburg. He might even step in personally.â
âI understand. Thanks for the warning.â Dustin nodded thoug
Was the Dark Lord finally appearing after laying low for so long? Hel
they could take the necessary precautions soon.
