An Understated Dominance - Chapter 394

“What did you say?” Dahlia frowned at him. “Was it not clear enough? I’ll say it again.” Edwin’s smile faded. “I will only spare one person. Either that old woman or Dustin. Now, you have to decide who lives and who dies.”

“Dahlia! Just let Dustin go! This is your chance to make things right!” Dakota shouted.

“Exactly! If you save me, I’ll forgive you and even help you get the chairman position!” Gloria added, her voice frantic. Edwin’s cruelty had rattled her. He couldn’t be reasoned with and would take any life without hesitation. She still had so much to live for and wouldn’t let herself be sacrificed.

“Edwin Hummer! We have no grudges against you! Why do you have to go after us?” Dahlia asked, her frown deepening.

“You don’t?” Edwin laughed, his head thrown back. “Oh, Dahlia Nicholson, why not ask the people around you about the grudges between us?”

After Edwin lost his son and daughter and suffered a terrible tragedy, he wanted revenge on Dustin Rhys. Dahlia was wrong to say there was nothing between them.

“Edwin Hummer, if you want revenge, just come at me directly. Why play these games?” Dustin said calmly.

“I could have killed you already if I wanted to. But I want you to suffer. I want you to watch your family and friends die in front of you. I want to see your anger, despair, and regret. Then you’ll know the pain I feel!” Edwin cackled like a madman, having lost everything when he lost his children.

“Do you really think you can do that?” Dustin replied, his gaze steady. Many had tried to kill him, but he remained unharmed.

“Ha! I know you’re strong. It’s tough to get my revenge alone.”

Today, I was ready. I didn’t mind spending a lot of money to hire three top assassins from the Bounty League to take you down. With them here, there’s no way you can survive, even if you think you’re unbeatable.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and three figures stepped forward. The short man on the left was Hillcrest. In the middle stood a man with gray hair and long, ape-like arms that reached his knees. On the right was a woman wearing a mask and a tight-fitting suit that highlighted her curves. She held two shiny knives that were clearly coated in poison.

“On the left is Hillcrest, in the middle is Snow Monkey, and on the right is Scorpion. They are all top assassins,” Edwin introduced them to Dustin, hoping to instill fear and hopelessness.

“You’re lucky to die at our hands!” Hillcrest grinned. “Let’s finish this and collect our payment.” Snow Monkey remained silent and serious.

“Ha! It’s such a shame a handsome guy like you is meeting your end today. Want to have some fun before that?” Scorpion said, licking her lips with a greedy smile.

The room filled with a sense of dread as the three assassins made their entrance. Everyone started shaking with fear.

“What is that guy thinking, bringing in three top assassins?” Tarragon said, drenched in cold sweat. It was rare to see even one gold-tier assassin, let alone three working together. This was something he had never seen before.
