Chapter 643
“Ugh-!” Astrid froze.
Astrid looked at Azalea, who had a smile on her face, and then down at the sword in her chest. She was filled with shock and disbelief. She never imagined that Azalea would kill her without hesitation when she was smiling cheerfully just a second ago. There weren’t any signs. throughout the entire situation.
“What?” Dustin was also bewildered at the sudden turn of events. He had casually mentioned it without expecting anything to happen. He would never imagine that Azalea would not only take it seriously but also act without hesitation and plunged her sword straight into her senior’s chest. He wondered if this woman was ruthless or just truly insane.
“W-why?” Astrid spat out the words with difficulty, glaring at Azalea with wide eyes. Mixed emotions flashed across her face-disbelief, fury, resentment, and defiance. But above all, confusion clouded her face. She couldn’t understand why Azalea would kill her.
Was it solely based on Dustin’s words?
“Don’t look at me like that, Astrid. You heard him. He asked me to kill you. I’m in a difficult position as well. You won’t blame me, will you?” Astrid put on an innocent act.
“You…” Astrid was about to say something when she spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Look at you, you soiled my clothes.” Azalea patted the blood stains on her clothes in disgust before pulling out her sword forcefully. Following the sound of a sharp whistle, blood gushed from Astrid’s chest, and her body went limp. She collapsed to the ground as life drained from her.
“Azalea, what are you doing?” The group of masked women was shocked to see Astrid fall. They never imagined that they would end up turning against each other.
“You shall fall too.” Azalea opened up her palm and blew lightly at the masked women, creating a crimson mist that enveloped everyone present. Soon, the unsuspecting group of people, including Dahlia, fell unconscious to the ground.
They had set up various foolproof measures to deal with Dustin. However, they had failed to anticipate and have their guard up against the presence of a traitor.
“A-Azalea, you crazy woman. I can’t believe you betrayed us. The Dark Lord will never forgive you! “With her last breath, Astrid lifted her finger with difficulty, her expression filled with
resentment.
“You don’t need to worry about that, Astrid. Just go peacefully.” Azalea bent down and stabbed her once more, relaxing only after she was certain Astrid was dead.
After that, Azalea turned to face Dustin and smiled as she asked, “What do you think? Are you satisfied, doctor?”
“I don’t understand. What do you mean by this?” Dustin frowned slightly, her actions coming off as strange.
“You said to kill Astrid earlier, so I helped you to do so. Is there a problem?” Azalea tilted her head
in confusion.
Dustin could feel his eye twitching, and he added, “But she’s your senior from the same guild.”
“What about it? Isn’t it normal for members of the same guild to kill each other in the martial world?” Azalea said it like it was a natural occurrence.
“You’re truly insane.” Dustin shook his head. He could tell that the woman in front of him was not mentally stable.
