An Understated Dominance Novel (Dahlia & Dustin) by Marina Vittori updated 2025-26 - An Understated Dominance Chapter 1983

An Understated Dominance Chapter 1983 –Garrett was stunned. Looking at the dense, strange fish, the anger in his heart disappeared without knowing when.

And his anger was replaced by horror.

He never dreamed that there would be so many man-eating monsters hiding in this peaceful lake.

If he had known this was the case, he would never have let his team members take the risk.

“Sure enough, there is danger everywhere!” Sophia pretended to sigh.

In fact, she had known that there was a strange fish at the bottom of the lake.

She witnessed these strange fish tearing apart and devouring two mutated giant wolves last night.

The reason she didn’t remind him just now was just to fight for better interests.

After all, the more people die, the fewer people will eventually share the treasure with her.

“There are so many strange fish that they can’t get into the water at all. Let’s wait until the tide goes out at night.”

Grace didn’t say much, and she immediately commanded her escort to set up camp nearby.

They had already sensed it; maybe the Dracan essences were hidden at the bottom of the lake. At this time, she would naturally not leave.

“I’m going to take a nap. Call me when the time comes.” Aidan yawned, then jumped up to the trunk of a big tree and began to fall asleep.

With his level of cultivation, it was not impossible to risk going into the lake, but it was not necessary.

On the shore, he could exert 100% of his strength, but in the water, his hands were tied, and it was difficult to use them. If he encountered any powerful water monster again, wouldn’t it be like shooting himself in the foot?

“Sophia, your injury hasn’t recovered yet; let’s go over there and rest for a while.” Jackson said, and then took Sophia to find a clean piece of grass to sit down on.

Before Sophia sat down, Jackson took off his jacket and placed it under Sophia, acting like a warm man.

Sophia responded with a smile, neither salty nor light, but occasionally glanced at Dustin.

Compared to Jackson, she was more curious about Dustin’s identity.

After all, with her beauty, she was highly sought after wherever she went.

Any man, whether he was a young talent or a dignitary, as long as he saw Sophia, he would inevitably look at her a few times and finally become addicted to her and couldn’t extricate himself.

But Dustin was an exception.

Ever since they met, Dustin has never looked at her again, as if she didn’t exist.

This made Sophia, who had always been arrogant, feel a little unhappy, but at the same time she was also a little more curious.

Did Dustin look down on women? Still not close to women?

Sophia had to find an opportunity to test it out.

“Captain, three members are dead, and more than half of our remaining team members have also been lost. What should we do now?”

The short-haired woman from the Black Scorpion Squad frowned, and her face became extremely solemn.

The Black Scorpion Squad had a total of more than ten people. However, since entering this strange oasis, their team members have continued to suffer losses.

Now, including her, there were only five people left in the entire Black Scorpion Squad.

It was really hard to accept that most of the teammates had been lost before the treasure was obtained.

“Next, keep a low profile and never be in the limelight again!” Garrett said solemnly.

After experiencing several dangerous situations, he had figured it out.

This place was full of dangers, and one mistake could lead to the loss of one’s life.

Compared with seizing the treasure, the most important thing was to save one’s life.

Save their lives, and then think about the treasure.

Otherwise, even if they get the treasure by luck, they won’t be able to get out of this strange oasis.

Time passed little by little, and it was already dusk in a blink of an eye.

At this time, a rustling sound suddenly came from the trees by the lake.

“who?!”

Jackson, who was the closest, was the first to notice the abnormality and immediately pulled out the knife from his waist.

When the others saw it, they became vigilant.

“It’s us!”

Accompanied by a loud voice.

Two forces, one on the left and one on the right, slowly walked out of the weeds.

There were about a dozen people from the forces on the left, all wearing green clothes, carrying swords, and having impressive weapons.

The first person was a man with a hooked nose, and next to him was a girl with a ponytail.

The person who came was none other than a disciple of the Frostwing Sect!

There were more than twenty people in the force on the right, all wearing yellow clothes and holding swords in their hands.

Judging from the momentum, it was even better than the disciples of the Frostwing Sect.

The person who came was suddenly a disciple of Drake’s Dominion Order!

“Bran? Yonah?”

After seeing the two leaders, Jackson couldn’t help but frown slightly.

It’s not that enemies don’t get together; he didn’t expect to meet people from the Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect here.

And judging from the situation, the two major factions seem to have joined forces.

It’s really a bit troublesome.

“Jackson, didn’t I expect that we would meet again?” Bran smiled half-heartedly, holding the sword across his arms with a joking expression.

“What are you doing here?” Jackson said it with a cold face.

“Of course it’s a treasure hunt.” Bran smiled meaningfully: “I heard that there are many treasures hidden under this lake, so I came here with Yonah to try my luck.”

“Huh! That’s nonsense! How can there be any treasure here?” Jackson objected.

“If there is no treasure, then why are you staying here?” Bran asked.

“We are tired from the journey; why don’t we take a rest here?” Jackson said it angrily.

Bran shook his head and sneered, “Jackson, you are still the same; you don’t know how to lie at all. To be honest, I have been eyeing you for a long time. I have been sending people to follow you secretly. I see everything you do and every move. Do you really think you can deceive me? Don’t be ridiculous. Got it!”

From the moment they walked out of the Dusthaven Village, Bran sent an expert who was good at tracking to follow Grace’s team.

Because he knew very well that the other party held the most detailed information.

As long as they follow Grace’s team, they will find the treasure sooner or later.

Sure enough, after following for so many days, they finally had something to gain.

“You are so despicable!” Jackson gritted his teeth and almost couldn’t help but draw the knife.

They risked their lives to hunt for treasure, but they didn’t expect to be shot.
