Chapter: 1320

Nikki’s legs went weak. She collapsed onto the ground with a pale face, utterly disappointed.

She never imagined that Edith would be ruthless enough to sacrifice her.

Did her loyalty mean nothing to Edith?

"I know the two of you are working together. If you don’t want her to be killed, you better release Brittany!" Edith threatened, holding her sword at Nikki’s neck.

She would have never resorted to such tactics if she hadn’t been injured.

"Why? Why?" Nikki mumbled as she sat on the ground, tears dripping down her cheeks.

Dustin frowned and eventually nodded.

"Fine, release Nikki, and I’ll let go of your disciple."

He gestured for Cornelius to step back.

"Take Brittany away first." Edith signaled.

The Jade Maiden sisterhood disciples hurriedly dragged Brittany away.

Letitia remained by Edith’s side to keep an eye on Cornelius in case he decided to do anything.

"Brat, I demand you to hand me the Jade Maiden Scripture!"

Although Brittany had been released, Edith did not lower her sword. Instead, she began to shout out her requests.

"I’ve already compromised once. You’d better not take things too far." Dustin’s face hardened.

How dare that witch try to make another unreasonable request!

"The Jade Maiden Scripture belongs to us in the first place. It’s only natural that you return it to its rightful owner!" Edith demanded arrogantly.

"With your attitude, do you think I’d hand it over?" Dustin retorted.

"Only women have use of the Jade Maiden Scripture. What would you do with it?

"I’ll forgive you for your rude actions toward me if you return it to me!" Edith continued her arrogant attitude.

"All of you are the same." Dustin shook his head in annoyance.

"Even if it’s useless to me, I’d rather burn it to a crisp than hand it over to you!"

"You!" Edith’s face hardened.

"You better think this through, brat! I’ll kill her if you don’t give me the scripture!"

She pushed the sword harder at Nikki’s neck, causing Nikki’s wound to deepen and bleed more.
