Chapter 1148: Just joking

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.

“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?”
