Chapter 700 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âMy ears hurt.â Dustinâs expression turned frosty. Without hesitation, he sent Niles flying with a brutal kick.
âWhat?â Nelson and their men were dumbfounded at the sight. Hank couldnât believe his eyes either, and he momentarily forgot about his pain. Nobody expected Dustin to act so ruthlessly without uttering a single word
He had just kicked the Killian familyâs butler and a prominent figure from Stonia! One simple word from him could end their entire lives. Most importantly, the butler represented the Killians. Humiliating their butler was akin to humiliating the family themselves. How could Dustin be so daring and seemingly unconcerned about his own life?
âY-you⦠You dared harm Mr. Niles? Do you know what you just did?â Hank was scared and furious as he cried out.
âHeâs just the Killiansâ servant. Whatâs the big deal?â Dustin turned his attention back to Hank and warned coldly, âYou, on the other hand, will be in big trouble if you donât start talking.
After meeting Dustinâs icy stare, Hank felt a chill run down his spine. He was genuinely terrified at that moment To him, Dustin seemed like a madman for daring to harm Niles.
âSilent still? Cut off all his limbs,â Dustin ordered once again
âYes, sir!â Nelson grinned as he raised his blade once more.
âWait! Iâll talkâ¦â Hank was terrified and surrendered immediately.
However, despite that, the steel knife still came down with a whoosh, slicing Hankâs hand off Hankâs mind went blank as he met Nelsonâs twisted smile.
âYou damned-!â Hankâs words were cut off by the intensity of the pain, and he lost consciousness. âLightly bandage up his wound. Weâre heading to Nicholson Corp., Dustin ordered.
âYes, sir.â Two henchmen dragged Hank out after wrapping his arm up
âSir Rhys, take a look at this. Suddenly, Nelsonâs sharp gaze noticed the safe on the table. After they opened it up, they saw a delicate purple vial inside.
Dustin picked it up and brought it to his nose. After a sniff, his expression betrayed his surprise. âI didnât expect it to be Zirtanium. Interesting.â
âZirtanium? What is that?â Nelson was curious.
âItâs a slow-acting poison, but taking it induces a comfortable and energized feeling. They wonât even feel any more pain. Itâs effective in treating specific illnesses. As it is extremely rare, it is worth a fortune,â Dustin explained.
âIs it really that amazing?â Nelsonâs eyes lit up.
âIndeed it is, but it is still poison after all. One will get addicted easily, and it has been banned in the martial world, Dustin responded.
âWhat would Hank need it for?â Nelson scratched his head.
âWho knows? Letâs just hold onto it for now Itâs worth a lot anyway Dustin replied nonchalantly and kept the vial in his pocket. He knew it could act as a lifeline for certain people
In the chairmanâs office at Nicholson Corp
