Chapter 900 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Dustin stared at Nikki in disbelief from across the table. He couldnât believe that she had been the person who drugged them.
âWhy is it you?â Corneliusâ widened eyes were full of dismay, confusion, and anger. He never imagined that the traitor would be Nikki, whom Dustin had treated so well.
âIâm sorry⦠Iâm sorry.â Nikki looked away guiltily and kept her head down.
âWhy?â Dustin could only ask. Because of Nelson, Dustin treated Nikki like his sister and tried to do everything in her best. interest. He even reigned in his temper in front of Jade Maiden Sisterhood just to free her, so he never imagined that she would betray him in return.
âJade Maiden Sisterhood is my home, and they are my family. I-I didnât have a choice. Iâm sorryâ¦â Nikki apologized as she repeatedly shook her head.
She felt guilty toward Dustin but couldnât go against Edith and the Jade Maiden Sisterhoodâs wishes.
âI just donât get it. Why are you still so determined to stay when they mistreated you? Just, why?â Dustinâs brows were furrowed.
He couldnât understand why Nikki would throw her pride away and serve people who treated her like trash.
âIâ¦â Nikki didnât know what to say, so she kept her head down and remained silent.
âWhatâs the point of talking about that now?â Edith sneered.
âNikki is my disciple, and she belongs to Jade Maiden Sisterhood. Naturally, she should be helping me.
âYou only have yourself to blame for being so naive.â
âThatâs right. Serves you right for trusting women so readily!â Edithâs disciples jeered.
âYeah, youâre right. I was an idiot for believing a person I just met.â Dustin smirked self- mockingly.
Although Nelson had been loyal, it didnât mean that Nikki would be the same.
Dustin had been too naive and stupid to believe that Nikki would come around if he treated her
well.
The reality turned out to be completely different
Nikki had drugged the Kirin Gang to return to Jade Maiden Sisterhoodâs good graces despite
Dustin couldnât help feeling disappointed at how she repaid him.
âYour fates are in our hands now. You better hand the scripture over if you donât want to die!â Edith threatened.
âI have it, Madam Edith. Please take a look at it.â Nikki rushed over, took out the scripture, and offered it to Edith.
It was the handwritten present Dustin gave her earlier at the table.
âReally?â Edith took the scripture and began flipping through it before laughing excitedly.
âIt is the Jade Maiden Scripture. It even has records of the Drizzle Dance Sword Art. Well done!
Edith beamed and praised Nikki. âYouâve finally done a good job. Iâll be sure to reward you once weâre back!â
âThank you, Madam Edith!â Nikki immediately perked up, her mood reflecting Edithâs.
âWhat an idiot!â Cornelius spat.
Was Nikki a moron? She could have kept the scripture to herself and used it to her advantage instead of giving it away.
âI didnât expect you to treat my disciple so well, brat.â Edith waved the scripture smugly.
âYou gave the thing I had been looking for so diligently away as a gift. Iâm so touched I could cry.
âUnfortunately for you, it still ended up in my hands.â
âMadam Edith, youâve finally obtained the scripture. Letâs leave.â Nikki forced a smile.
