An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1874

Rufus smiled indifferently. “We poisoned Julius. If he wants to live, he needs to listen to us.”

“What if he has a way to treat the poison?” Eloise asked. Rufus shook his head and smiled. “It doesn’t matter if he can neutralize the poison. Julius is a smart person. He knows that working with Reagan is like partnering with a lion.

“Julius could act confidently before as he had some influence. However, he has absolutely nothing now. He’s not on equal footing with Reagan at all. Once Julius loses his value, Reagan will not spare him.

“We’re different, though. Julius is from the Rhys family and is a blood relative to me. I can still spare his life even if he betrayed us.

“If he performs well and manages to redeem himself through his mission, we can offer him a life of prosperity. What do you think he would choose?”

“Your Highness, you’re right. However, it’s difficult to tell what he is thinking. What if Julius refuses the opportunity and insists on going down the wrong path? What should we do?” Eloise asked.

“If that’s the case, Julius is just seeking for death,” Rufus replied indifferently.

“I don’t care if Julius dies or not. But Austin…” Eloise was hesitant to continue.

“Don’t overthink. They’re no longer kids. They long have the ability to handle things by themselves. Exterminating Dragon Guard can be considered a test for them this time.

“If they can successfully complete it, I can entrust West Lucozia to them with confidence.” Rufus smiled.

His two sons were not ordinary individuals. Although they were young, they were way more capable than him when he was their age. They would surely become outstanding figures with some training.

“Don’t look so solemn. I’ve already called Albert over. If anything happens, he will make sure they’re safe,” Rufus consoled.

“So you’ve already prepared in advance.

“Eloise let out a sigh of relief.

“Of course, this isn’t the main point. The most important part is that our spies found a tall and thick wall at the entrance of the valley.

“There were also many firearms on top of it. It’s similar to a fortress in times of war from it looks. If I’m not mistaken, this should be the secret base of Dragon Guard.

“However, due to the number of Dragon Guard spies around it, our spies didn’t dare to get close. They hurried back to report to us after confirming its location.”

After hearing that, Dustin nodded.” Good job. We finally found where their base is.”

“Although we found where their base is, its location makes it easy for them to defend and hard for us to attack. It’s going to be challenging to capture all of them.

“Most importantly, we don’t know what it’s like behind the wall. How many troops does Dragon Guard have? If we recklessly attack, we might face heavy losses!” Austin explained seriously.
