Chapter 2234

Author: Marina Vittori
Aurora paced anxiously while Brian and Kenan whispered to each other. She wanted to ask questions but held back, worried it might distract Dustin and interfere with Alicia's treatment.

At that moment, Grace stood silently by Dustin's side and acted as his guardian.

As time passed, Alicia looked visibly uncomfortable and began sweating profusely. The black mist gradually surrounded her, and it soon enveloped Dustin.

Time dragged on until he finally opened his eyes and took a deep breath. A vortex of true energy swirled in his mouth as he absorbed the surrounding black mist. His complexion shifted from pale to flushed, and he frowned deeply.

Dustin absorbed most of the voodoo from Alicia's body. Despite his strong cultivation and incredible resilience, he still felt the strain. Afterward, he placed his palms on her back.

She suddenly raised her head and spat out a mouthful of black blood before collapsing onto the bed.

"Alicia!" Brian's expression changed as he rushed to check on h

Pathetic hopefully another author will pick up this novel and actually write more than a paragraph at a time this author is doing the bare minimum and honest we should protest her by not reading this sorry excuse for a author

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2602

    In the central district of Harbortown, thick clouds of deadly scarlet mist had erupted from the hospital and were now spreading in all directions.Within just an hour, the mist had stretched five miles beyond its starting point. It advanced more rapidly and aggressively than a wildfire.Wherever the crimson mist swept through, it left nothing but ruin. Anyone who came into contact with it died almost instantly and dissolved into a pool of blood within two minutes.Even inanimate objects couldn't escape—the red mist corroded them until they were riddled with holes. At this rate, the deadly mist would devour the entire city within a single day and turn it into a death zone.High up on a rooftop not far from the governor's mansion, Tristan and Milton stood on the building's edge. They watched the distant scarlet mist continue its inexorable spread. Their expressions showed nothing but helplessness.They had tried everything—deployed manpower, diverted resources, attempted every metho

    "Your Highness, what should we do now?" Milton asked anxiously."How should I know? I'm just as lost as you are." Tristan's face was full of despair. He continued, "Dr. Strum and Dr. Carmel are dead. The outbreak is already out of control, and now there's some kind of poisonous mist that destroys everything it touches. How am I supposed to deal with this? My head feels like it's about to explode.""Perhaps we should retreat while we still can," Milton urged. "If that poisonous mist continues its advance, this city is doomed. Staying here would only put your life in danger.""Retreat? Where should I go? Once Harbortown is gone, so is my future." Tristan looked utterly defeated.Everyone knew containing the outbreak was a test from Valon. If Tristan succeeded, he'd secure the right to inherit the throne, but failure would end his chances for good. He'd fought too hard and come too far to let the crown slip away now."As long as you're alive, Your Highness, there's still a chance t

    Lauren's death came without warning. It was so sudden that Dustin barely had time to process what happened. Staring at her shattered skull and her body sprawled in blood, his smile faded as he frowned.No one had attacked her, and it wasn't suicide either. Her head exploded because someone had planted a cursed insect in her brain.This insect lay dormant inside her head. It caused no harm to its host under normal circumstances. However, when the host planned to betray the Skull Covenant, the insect would immediately awaken and self-destruct. The explosion occurred from within and was impossible to prevent.If Dustin had examined Lauren thoroughly, he would've spotted it. With his current skills, eliminating such an insect would have been easy.Even Lauren herself hadn't known that she had been implanted with the cursed insect. If she had known, she wouldn't have endured such prolonged torture. Otherwise, she would have chosen to trigger the explosion earlier.Grace approached

    "You… What did you do to me?" Lauren demanded.She struggled frantically but found her entire body locked in place, and she couldn't move a muscle. For someone who was halfway to becoming a grandmaster, this kind of helplessness was foreign to her. It felt like being pinned beneath something enormous and unmovable."Relax. I'm not going to kill you," Dustin said with a faint smile.He moved closer until he stood directly in front of her. "I'm going to ask you two questions. Answer honestly, and I'll let you go. Lie to me, and you'll regret everything you did today.""Hmph! Kill me if you want. You think I'm scared of some nobody like you?" Lauren tried to sound fearless, as though she was eager to die.In her eyes, death wasn't an end but a liberation and a chance to return to Skull Lord's side."Like I said, I won't kill you. But I will give you a taste of suffering," Dustin said. With a flick of his finger, he sent a silver needle into her body.The instant it pierced her skin

    "Ms. Linsor, look out!" Sadie shouted.She had been watching Lauren's every move. The moment the iron chains binding Lauren snapped and scarlet mist poured from her body, Sadie immediately jumped in front of Grace to shield her.However, the mist was pervasive. It engulfed several people in the room within seconds before expanding outward in all directions at breakneck speed.The scarlet mist was laced with deadly poison. Wherever it touched, flowers wilted and the ground turned black, as if it were consuming everything in its path.Lauren laughed maniacally. "Every last one of you deserves to die. This world is steeped in corruption, and God has turned his back on us. Only our Skull Lord will outlast it all. "I shall cleanse your sins with his blood and offer your lives as a sacrifice. The Skull Covenant shall rise, and the Skull Lord shall reign eternally."Her crazed proclamations echoed through the swirling scarlet mist.As more mist poured out from her body, her figure b

    At Sadie's signal, two soldiers stepped forward to carry out her orders."W-Wait…" Lauren stammered.She quickly raised her hands and put on a placating smile. "Let's talk this through like civilized people. No need to get physical.""What? Now you want to talk?" Sadie scoffed. "Done with your pretense?""I was just messing around earlier. Don't take it personally. Ask me anything, and I'll tell you everything I know." Lauren immediately chose to give in."Don't even think about playing games with me," Sadie warned. "If you lie to me, I swear you'll regret it.""Relax. I won't lie," Lauren said with an ingratiating smile. "I'm as straight as an arrow."Sadie frowned slightly but didn't press further. Something about Lauren's behavior didn't sit right with her. One moment she was acting clueless, the next she was oddly cooperative. It was hard to tell what she was up to."Alright then. Tell me. Do you know Callan Banks?" Grace asked coolly."Do I know him? Of course, I do." Lau
