An Understated Dominance Chapter 1986 –“Are you threatening me?” Grace asked with a calm expression.

“You can take that as advice.” Bran smiled meaningfully: “Ms. Linsor, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You are a smart person. I believe you should know how to choose.”

Among the many forces in the southwest, the three sects were the most respected.

Among the three sects, Drakes Dominion Order was recognized as the first, Frostwing Sect ranked second, and Embersteel Order ranked third.

With the power of their Frostwing Sect, they were already enough to dominate one side, not to mention that they had formed an alliance with the Drakes Dominion Order.

Together, the two sects could conquer all directions.

Looking at the entire southwest, who dared to confront them head-on?

“I’m sorry; I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. I still say that we have to share it together; otherwise, there will be no discussion.” Grace’s tone did not waver at all.

“Huh?” Bran’s face darkened, and he said sternly, “B!tch! Don’t toast me, and you will be punished with a drink!”

“presumptuous!” Grace’s guard captain was furious and suddenly drew his sword towards him.

As soon as the guard captain moved, dozens of elite guards drew their swords out of their sheaths, looking ready to make a move.

“Mr. Kingsley, you’d better be polite when you speak; otherwise, my subordinates will do anything once they get excited.” Grace’s eyes grew cold.

“Good. Very good!” Bran gritted his teeth and said conspiratorially, “It seems that you haven’t realized the seriousness of the problem. You have offended our Frostwing Sect and Drake’s Dominion Order. Do you know what will happen?”

“I won’t offend anyone unless they offend me; if someone offends me, I will punish them.” Grace’s expression did not change. “Hmph! I think you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!”

Bran got angry, and when he was about to explode, Yonah raised his hand to stop him: “Bran, please be patient. Let me handle this matter.”

Yonah stepped forward, stared at Grace proudly, and said calmly, “Ms. Linsor, to tell you the truth, our masters from the Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect are on their way and will meet us soon. If you cooperate with us now, not only will everything be safe, but you will also get a lot of treasures.

On the other hand, if you insist on being our enemy, you will be like a moth rushing to the flame and destroying yourself! As the saying goes, a person must be self-aware, so why would you involve yourself in it for some unrelated people? ”

“To me, you are the irrelevant people. Why should I abandon my friends and choose to cooperate with irrelevant people like you?” Grace asked.

“If you don’t cooperate with us, do you think you can successfully seize the treasure today?” Yonah said.

“Whether you can find the treasure depends on your own abilities.” Grace said calmly.

“So, you don’t have enough food and salt?”

Yonah’s face gradually turned cold, and he glanced at Aidan, who was sleeping on the tree, and said loudly, “Mr. Ridge, what are your plans?”

He could ignore everyone present, but not Aidan.

As a martial arts master and one of the five strongest men in the Southwest, Aidan must be among the best in terms of strength and prestige.

Unless absolutely necessary, not even the Drakes Dominion Order was willing to break up with such a strong man.

“I have no interest in getting involved in your previous grievances. Anyway, I will choose three of these treasures at the bottom of the lake. The rest will be divided among you. It has nothing to do with me.”

Aidan lay on the tree trunk, resting his head on his hands and crossing his legs, as if it didn’t matter to him.

“Okay! With Mr. Ridge’s words, I feel relieved.”Yonah nodded, already having a calculation in his heart, and glanced at Grace again: “Ms. Linsor, you heard everything, right? Now that you have no backer, how can you fight with us?”

As long as Aidan didn’t interfere, the elites of Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect were enough to deal with Grace.

Of course, some people would inevitably be lost.

“Even if Mr. Ridge doesn’t take action, you people can’t get the slightest advantage.” Grace said calmly.

“That’s right!” Jackson held up the knife, took two steps forward, and shouted, “With our Embersteel Order and Harmony Sect, we won’t tolerate you being presumptuous!”

Afterwards, several Embersteel Order disciples also took two steps forward, staring eagerly.

Although their numbers were small, their momentum was not lost at all.

It was mainly Grace’s loyal behavior that won their respect.

For their own benefit, they even dared to confront the Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect head-on. Such courage was really admirable.

As both women, Sophia was completely incomparable to Grace in this regard.

“Yonah, it seemed that we couldn’t talk anymore; let’s just do it!” Bran lowered his voice and said, “Jackson is already injured, so there is nothing to be afraid of. You and I only need to work together to deal with Dustin first. The rest are not worth mentioning at all!”

Hearing this, Yonah licked his lips, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

Aidan made it clear that he would not take action. The only person who threatened them the most now was Dustin, who had defeated him before.

But as long as Yonah joins forces with Bran, dealing with Dustin shouldn’t be a problem.

At this time, the sky was getting dark.

The two sides were at war with each other and were on the verge of breaking out.

“Hiss~!”

With a sullen face, Yonah slowly pulled out his sword.

Just when he was about to order an attack, something unexpected happened.

They saw a large amount of water splashing suddenly from the depths of the lake.

The water splashed continuously and made a loud sound.

With this as the center, circles of ripples quickly spread to the surroundings and gradually gathered into waves.

“Buzz~!”

At this time, there was a roar.

A bright white light suddenly shot out from the bottom of the water and pierced the sky.

This white light was like a pillar connecting heaven and earth, dazzling and shocking.

As soon as it appeared, the entire lake was illuminated as bright as day.

After the white light appeared, a huge vortex formed where the water splashed, and it continued to spread.

The vortex turned faster and bigger, and a large amount of lake water was sucked into it.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, the lake actually began to recede at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few minutes, it shrank by more than ten meters.

“Look! The tide is out! The treasure at the bottom of the lake is about to be discovered!”

Sophia pointed to the center of the lake, surprised and happy.
