An Understated Dominance Novel (Dahlia & Dustin) by Marina Vittori updated 2025-26 - An Understated Dominance Chapter 2176

An Understated Dominance Chapter 2176–Readers, I apologize; I accidentally typed Cyrus’s name. This is Abigail.

“Abigail? Are you…serious?” Dustin’s eyelids twitched, and his expression became strange.

Ever since Abigail awakened her bloodline, she has always been crazy, and her behavior has become extremely bold. So Dustin was mentally prepared for certain situations.

However, Dustin really didn’t expect that Abigail would be so bold.

On the day of the martial arts competition, the genius disciples of all sects must be poisoned.

This crazy behavior made his scalp numb just thinking about it.

It could only be said that Abigail’s way of thinking couldn’t be judged by common sense.

“Of course we are serious. As long as we poison those threatening opponents, wouldn’t it be easy to win the championship? I am really a genius for coming up with such a wonderful way.” Abigail said proudly.

“…” Dustin was speechless for a while.

Briggs and the others experienced heightened fear and a sensation of unease.

They knew Abigail’s voice was not quiet at all, and all the warriors around her could hear her clearly.

Many people cast wary glances, and some even pulled out weapons.

If they continued to talk, they would soon become public enemies in the martial arts world.

It’s understandable why the Mystic Arts Order’s disciples were unpopular and frequently poisoned. Who could withstand this?

“Abigail, I think it’s better to forget about this matter. Since it’s a competition, it should be fair and just, win based on strength, and not play any tricks.” Dustin said it seriously.

When he said this, he deliberately raised his voice, mainly to make the surrounding warriors put down their guard and prevent them from facing each other with swords.

“Do you think my method is bad?” Abigail tilted her head.

“It’s not bad; it’s just a bit… life-consuming.” Dustin lowered his voice and winked at the people around him. “They all heard what you just said. If something happens, none of us will be able to run away. We should just rely on our strength to fight.”

“What are you afraid of? Whoever dares to disobey will be poisoned!” Abigail glared at the surrounding warriors, which was completely true.

On the contrary, some of the warriors who were glanced at by her were so frightened that their expressions changed, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

“Okay, don’t shout and kill all day long; be a little gentle; you will have to get married in the future.” Dustin changed the topic.

“Marry? I don’t want to marry! Men are not good at all.” Speaking of this, Abigail suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile, “Of course, except you. You are the best person in the world!”

“You girl!” Dustin shook his head and smiled quite helplessly.

As for Briggs and Sullivan, who were sitting next to them, they could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

Men don’t have any good things, so the impact is really huge.

“Sister Abigail, I heard that the poisonous insects in your Mystic Arts Order are very powerful. Can you let me see them?”

At this time, Halle suddenly said something coldly. At this moment, she was full of energy and curiosity.

“We have many kinds of insects. Which one do you want to see?” Abigail asked with a smile.

Generally speaking, people who knew her identity would avoid her, but Halle in front of her was an exception.

“Anything is fine, preferably something special.” Halle said happily.

“special?” Abigail raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled. “Okay, then I will perform for you, but I need two people to cooperate with me, preferably a man and a woman.”

“Count me in. As for the other one, Halle said, looking at Sullivan, “Senior brother, it’s you; please cooperate with me, Sister Abigail.”

“Ah I?” Sullivan’s face froze, which was a bit unexpected.

Why is it so easy to get him involved?

“Senior brother, this kind of opportunity is rare to experience. Please help me and let me satisfy my curiosity.” Halle’s face was filled with anticipation.

“Is this… not dangerous?” Sullivan’s eyelids twitched, and he hesitated.

Who didn’t know that the poisonous insects of the Mystic Arts Order were terrifying? What if he tried to poison himself?

He didn’t dare gamble with his life.

“Don’t worry, you won’t die.” Abigail comforted.

But these words were obviously not convincing.

“Senior brother, you are so wise and powerful; don’t you even have this bit of courage?”

Seeing that Sullivan was still hesitant, Halle immediately used the provocation method.

“Who said I don’t have the guts? I just want to cooperate. Come on, come on, try. If I blink, I won’t be a hero!” Sullivan puffed up his chest and looked as if he were ready to die.

As a man, at this moment, he naturally couldn’t give in.

“Okay, then I’ll start.” Abigail smiled slightly, then stretched out her hand to wipe it on her waist. When she stretched it out again, there were already two more pills in her palm.

One was black, and the other was white.

The two pills were only about the size of mung beans. They looked ordinary, nothing special.

“Here, this one is yours; this one is yours.”

Abigail handed the black pill and white pill to Sullivan and Halle, respectively.

“Sister Abigail, what is this?” Halle asked curiously.

“Eat them, I’m telling you.” Abigail smiled.

“Okay.” Halle nodded and swallowed the white pill right away.

As for Sullivan, he looked at the black pills in his hand with some hesitation.

“Senior brother, what are you doing standing still? Eat!” Halle began to urge.

Sullivan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and finally swallowed the black pill.

“Sister Abigail, can you tell us what this is now?” Halle looked forward to it.

“This is called twin poison. If you eat them, your two lives will be tied together.”

Abigail explained with a smile: “From now on, you two will live and die together, regardless of each other.”

“Live and die together? What does this mean?” Sullivan was stunned.

“literal meaning.”

Abigail opened a lollipop and put it in her mouth, saying vaguely, “To put it simply, you two share the same life now. As long as one of you dies, the other will also die.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed.
