An Understated Dominance - Chapter 393

The short guy smiled as he slammed Cougar’s body against the wall, leaving a bloody mark. “Cougar!” Tarragon rushed to his little brother, filled with anger.

“How could you kill my brother? I’ll tear you apart!” Tarragon yelled and charged at the short guy like a wild animal, but the short guy kicked him hard in the chest.

Tarragon fell to the ground as if hit by a truck, coughing up blood. He realized that his rib was broken.

The Nicholsons gasped in shock at the sight of another fallen family member. They knew Tarragon was stronger than Cougar, but even he had been defeated by the short guy. It made them wonder who he was.

“W–who are you?” Tarragon asked, pressing his hand against his chest, blood trickling from his nose and mouth. He suspected his opponent was a powerful martial artist to win so easily.

“I’m Hillcrest, a gold-tier assassin in the Bounty League,” the short guy said with a big grin.

“A gold-tier assassin?” Tarragon was horrified. He didn’t know Hillcrest personally, but he understood the significance of that name. The Bounty League was made up of skilled martial artists.

Even the bronze-tier assassins were tough, and the silver-tier ones were nearly unbeatable. The rare gold-tier assassins were the best of the best and cost millions to hire!

Tarragon had thought he was just coming to teach some troublemakers a lesson, but he never expected to encounter a gold-tier assassin. What terrible luck!

“Old hag, it’s your turn now,” Edwin said as he raised his gun again.

“Quick! Protect her!” Dakota shouted, her eyes wide with fear.

“Go!” The loyal group sprang into action.

Bodyguards from the Nicholson Family charged at Edwin, who began firing his gun with incredible accuracy. Every bullet he shot was deadly. In no time, he had taken out half of the bodyguards.

The remaining guards, who got closer, were quickly taken down by Hillcrest. In just a moment, the Nicholsons’ bodyguards had suffered heavy losses, and soon, there was no one left standing.

Gloria and the others watched in fear, trembling as they saw what was happening. They never imagined that they would lose all the expert bodyguards they had called in from Glenstead.

“Do you have any last words?” Edwin asked as he approached Gloria, his face emotionless.

“Wait! You better not do anything rash. I’m from the Nicholson Family of Glenstead. If you touch me, my family will come after you!” Gloria replied firmly.

“Is that all? It’s time to end this,” Edwin said, raising his gun again.

Suddenly, just as he was about to pull the trigger, a strong feminine voice called out from the entrance, “Stop!” He turned around and saw two familiar faces—Dustin Rhys and Dahlia Nicholson.

“Oh! The real VIPs have arrived!” Edwin narrowed his eyes, filled with anger. He had tried to use Boulderthorn and Royal Valor to eliminate Dustin but had failed. The men from Royal Valor had vanished, leaving him with no choice but to hire gold-tier assassins to take revenge for his children. Now, standing in front of him was the enemy he wanted to destroy.

“Edwin Hummer, you better not try anything funny! Release Madam Gloria now!” Dustin shouted.

Dakota placed her order.

“Oh, is she a madam from the family? This is great!” Edwin suddenly smiled, aiming his gun at Gloria’s temple. “You have a choice—either she or Dustin has to die. Choose one.”
