An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1148

“Say that again?” Scarlet’s expression was frosty. She pointed the tip of her sword against Natasha’s throat. If she just pushed forward an inch more, would easily end up dead. Natasha “Hmm?”

Natasha frowned at the sight of the blade against her throat. She hadn’t expected Scarlet to have such a bad temper and draw her sword without a word.

She was also certain that Scarlet was serious. If she provoked her further, she would be as good as dead. It seemed like she had met her match. This woman before her was harder to deal with than Dahlia.

“Joking around?”

Dustin turned to Natasha and asked softly, “Are you hurt?” “I’m fine. I was bored earlier and asked to see Ms. Spanner’s sword. She was just handing it to me.” Natasha smiled.
