Chapter 743 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âI had just finished reporting back to the military base, so I decided to drop by.â Gavin Killian smiled. âGreetings, Mr. Killian.â Dahlia tried to stand up.
âNo need for formalities.â Gavin placed a hand on her shoulder to keep her seated. âYou need to rest, Ms. Nicholson. Youâre hurt.â âItâs nothing.â Dahlia smiled.
âAnd this is?â Dustin looked at Gavin, puzzled. He could tell from the badge on Gavinâs arm that he was a major general. For someone to be a general in his thirties, he must either be from an influential family or be incredibly talented.
âThis is Mr. Killian. He was the one who saved me this morning,â Dahlia introduced. This morningâs incident was still fresh in her mind. Without Gavinâs help, sheâd be dead by now.
âI see Thank you, Mr. Killian.â Dustin thanked. âIt was nothing,â Gavin answered with a smile. âAnd you are?â
âOh, heâs my friend, Dustin Rhys.â Dahlia blurted. âFriend?â Dustin frowned, unhappy with her answer. Still, he regained his composure after a few seconds.
âNice to meet you, Mr. Rhys. Iâm Gavin Killian.â Gavin extended a hand. Although his expression looked kind, his eyes showed an a rrogant glint.
âNice to meet you.â Dustin shook Gavinâs hand knowingly.
Killian wasnât a common surname. He ran into Miranda Killian two days ago, and now, he was meeting another Killian, so he couldnât help but wonder if the two were related.
âMs. Nicholson, I heard that you urgently need a Panax root. Is that true?â Gavin suddenly switched the topic.
Dahlia nodded. âThatâs right. My grandfather is si ck, and we need a Panax root to make his medicine. Unfortunately, finding one is quite hard, so I doubt Iâll get my hands on one soon.â
âYou donât have to search anymore, Ms. Nicholson. I happened to have a 300-year-old Panax root. If youâd like, you can have it.â Gavinâs words shocked them.
âWhat? Youâre giving it to me?â Dahlia was taken aback. She didnât expect him to have a Panax root and for him to gift it to her so casually.
âAre you serious, Mr. Killian? Are you going to give us a Panax root?â Julie asked with disbelief in her eyes.
âOf course. I always keep my word.â Gavin puffed out his chest.
âGosh, thank you so much!â Julie was overjoyed.
âYouâre such a kind man, Mr. Killian!â Florence and Victoria were happy as well.
Just moments ago, they were thinking hard, trying to find a way to obtain a Panax root. They never thought theyâd get one so soon.
Unlike Dustin, who was stubborn and stingy, Gavin seemed much more generous and honorable.
