An Understated Dominance Chapter 2026 [4051 – 4052]-Without SNG-Cartilage Powder, Josue would not dare to act rashly.

But now, with this bottle of treasure, together with the masters from the Embersteel Order and the Harmony Sect, it was enough to catch Dustin and others in one fell swoop.

“After everything is done, how about we share the proceeds equally?” Maryam asked with a smile.

“No problem!” Josue agreed.

Naturally, he would not refuse such a good thing to gain the maximum benefit with the minimum risk.

“Wait!”

At this time, Jackson, who was standing behind, suddenly said, “Master Emond, Dustin, and Ms. Linsor were once our partners, and they were also kind to us. It is inappropriate for us to plot against them.”

He had always been clear about his grievances. If Dustin and Grace hadn’t protected them during this trip to the desert of death, they might have died, let alone gotten so many treasures.

Now he started repaying kindness with hatred as soon as he came out. His behavior was really despicable.

Josue said righteously, “What’s inappropriate? We’re not close friends with them, and we can’t do anything too much. Besides, the jungle is the law of the jungle. They have stolen so many treasures, and they can’t control them at all. Even if we don’t take action, there will be other forces secretly coveting it, which may lead to death. But we only seek wealth, not life, which is already a gift to them.”

“But Master Emond, you have taught us since childhood. We must be upright, with no shame in our hearts and no shame in heaven and earth, but look at what we are doing now; what is the difference between us and those despicable villains?” Jackson argued with reason.

“Presumptuous!”

Josue got a little angry and slapped Jackson on the face, shouting, “You have become more and more bold after a few days of wandering around. You dare to talk back to your master. Have you let me, your master, go?”

“Master Emond, I’m just telling the truth.” Jackson was a little dissatisfied.

“You——!”

Josue got angry and raised his hand to hit him, but Maryam stopped him and advised him: “Master Emond, calm down. Jackson is just a child and not sensible. He should be educated more in the future.”

“Huh! I haven’t seen this kid for a while, and his wings are getting harder and harder.”Josue said it with a stern face.

“Master Emond, let me persuade him.” Maryam winked and then smiled at Jackson: “Jackson, this world is not as simple as you think. Not everything is right or wrong. The reason why your master is doing this is to strengthen the Embersteel Order and protect the disciples.

It is not easy for the Embersteel Order to develop to this point. Your master has shouldered too much. As the chief disciple, you should understand your master. No matter what your master does, he is always paving the way for you and considering the development of the Embersteel Order. I hope you can understand your master’s painstaking efforts.

In addition, I also express my gratitude here. Personally, after this event is completed, we will make every effort to prepare for the wedding of you and Sophia so that you two lovers can finally get married. I will use part of the treasure obtained this time to give Sophia a dowry. You should not refuse.”

At the end of the sentence, Maryam patted Jackson on the shoulder with a meaningful smile.

“This…”

Jackson was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. He really liked Sophia and hoped to get married soon. Now that he heard Maryam’s statement, his firm belief could not help but be shaken.

“Jackson, for me and for the sake of our two sects, will you agree?” Sophia grabbed Jackson’s arm and shook it gently, with a bit of coquettishness.

Jackson opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.

“Jackson, if you don’t say anything, I will take it as your promise!” Sophia climbed up the pole.

“Jackson, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to participate in this operation and go back to rest.” Josue said it coldly.

“Farewell, disciple!” Jackson bowed deeply and turned to leave. After all, he still couldn’t go against his true intention and do something to repay kindness with hatred.

“Master Emond, as a disciple, you are too upright. I’m afraid you will suffer a loss in the future.” Looking at Jackson’s leaving figure, Maryam couldn’t help but sigh.

“Jackson has been like this since he was a child. Unless he has experienced some bloody lessons, he will not know the dangers of the world.” Josue shook his head, looking a little helpless.

“Sophia, if you have time, communicate more with Jackson. From now on, we will be a family.” Maryam said.

“Understood.” Sophia nodded slightly.

Unable to seduce a genius like Dustin, she had no choice but to settle for Jackson.

No matter what, Jackson was considered a leader among the younger generation.

The most important thing was that the other party was easy to handle, and she could control him better.

“Master Tait, please tell me the specific plan. When will we start?” Josue once again introduced the topic.

“There’s no rush now. It won’t be too late for us to take action when it’s late at night and they all fall asleep.” Maryam said it with a smile.

She sailed the boat with great care; even if there were SNG-Cartilage Powder scattered in her hands, she would not dare hold it in order to avoid any mistakes.

…

The night was getting darker.

The lights in every room in the hotel had basically been turned off.

Dustin sat on the bed, hiding in the darkness and closing his eyes to rest.

He was already on guard following Grace’s reminder.

Of course, he didn’t take ordinary thieves seriously.

“Phew!”

At this moment, a slight sound suddenly broke through the air from outside the window.

Dustin suddenly opened his eyes!

Immediately afterwards, there was only a “pop” sound, and a hidden arrow shot through the glass and was nailed to the wall of the room.

And at the end of the hidden arrow, there was a rolled-up note hanging.

Dustin stepped forward, took off the note, and looked at it. There were four big words written on it: “Be careful of ambush!”

Dustin turned around and glanced out the window, and a familiar figure flashed past.

“Jackson?”

Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. He didn’t know the origins of the people who were sneaking around outside before.

It seemed that it should be related to the Embersteel Order and the Harmony Sect.

Otherwise, Jackson did not need to secretly send a signal to remind him.

No matter what, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
