An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

"Don't worry, Luke. Since you hired us, consider your troubles taken care of. We're here to help," one of the Bovens twins reassured him.

"That's right. You just sit back and watch how we deal with this troublemaker," the other chimed in.

The twins bantered back and forth confidently as if victory was already in their bag.

Luke glared at Abigail and shouted, "Hey, troublemaker! Did you hear that? If you're wise, surrender now. Otherwise, today will be your last."

"Enough with the chatter. Let's get this over with. I've got dinner waiting upstairs," she retorted impatiently.

"Arrogant fool!"

"Get ready to face our wrath!"

Enraged by her words, the twins quickly grabbed their weapons and charged forward.

Their choice of weapons was rather peculiar. One brandished a spear, while the other wielded an iron abacus.

The iron abacus beads were released with a flick of the wrist. They shot out like hidden weapons as it rained down on Abigail.

Simultaneously, the spear lunged forward like a charging lance aimed directly at her.

Their coordination was flawless as they hid their deadly intent.

First, they used the barrage of abacus beads for distraction. Then, it was swiftly followed up with the spear for the finishing blow.

For an ordinary martial artist, countering such a tactic would be next to impossible.

But Abigail was far from ordinary. As the Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order, ranked second on the Legendary List, she didn't even bat an eye at the Bovens brothers' attack.

"Is this the best you can do?" She snorted contemptuously and raised her hand.
