Chapter 1148: Just joking

“You say that again?”

Scarlet’s expression turned icy as she held her sword with one hand, its tip pressed against Natasha’s throat. With a slight forward movement, she could end Natasha’s life in an instant.

Natasha, seeing the sharp blade so close to her neck, couldn’t help but furrow her brows. She hadn’t expected Scarlet to be so impulsive, drawing her sword at the slightest provocation. It was clear that this wasn’t a mere threat; another provocative word could result in her demise.

It seemed that she had encountered a formidable opponent.

Just as they were locked in a standoff, Dustin suddenly rushed in.

“Dustin, you’re here?” Upon seeing him, Scarlet immediately sheathed her sword, her previous coldness replaced by a friendly smile, like that of a neighbor’s little sister.

“Scarlet, what were you doing just now?” Dustin frowned, showing some displeasure.

“It’s nothing, I was just joking with Miss Natasha,” Scarlet replied with a smile.

“Joking?” Dustin turned his gaze to Natasha and asked in a soft voice, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I was just a bit bored, so I wanted to see Miss Scarlet’s sword. She simply handed it to me,” Natasha smiled.
