An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori (official version)

Chapter 1951

Dustin was awakened by footsteps outside the tent at the break of dawn. He quickly turned around to get up and

was watchful.

Soon, he heard Osley speaking. “Ms. Linsor, something bad happened!” Instead of barging into the tent, Osley

stood outside to report the incident to Grace.

“W-What?” Grace slowly opened her eyes when she heard the commotion. She slipped out of the sleeping bag

and slipped into her jacket.

She then asked, “What happened, Mr. Will?”

“When | was doing my routine check, | saw a lot of desert rats around our camp. | followed their trail and realized

that the rats had destroyed our supplies!” Osley replied anxiously.

“What?” Grace's expression instantly becserious when she heard that.

She quickly walked out of her tent and questioned in a serious tone, “Didn’t | arrange for someone to stand

guard through the night? How did the desert rats get to our supplies?”

“I have no idea as well. It was already too late when | discovered the problem. “Osley appeared disheartened.

“Let's go have a look!” Grace didn’t say much as she immediately walked toward where the supplies were

stored.

To play it safe this time, she had prepared all the supplies needed for survival and hired a caravan of camels to

transport the supplies.

Before the night set in, she even ensured that people were standing guard. She had no idea that she would wake

up to a problem with the supplies.

When Grace and a few others got to the supply storage tent, she saw thousands of desert rats running around.

Food, water, and other resources were all over the ground.

A few from the security team were busy chasing away the desert rats. Nevertheless, these rats were still going

after the food supplies without fear.

Grace frowned slightly when she saw the situation. Desert rats were normally timid and careful. It was very rare

to see them invading the human food supplies.

The most important factor was, in addition to the sheer number of desert rats, their frenzied and continuous

invasion despite attempts to chase them away.

The desert rats had destroyed more than half of the supplies she brought for the journey. If Osley hadn't

discovered this problem, the desert rats would have emptied their supplies by daybreak.

“These darn animals! How dare they invade our supplies! Kill all of them!” Osley yelled angrily. When they heard

the order, the security team quickly took out their weapons and started killing the desert rats.

Amidst the sounds of guns firing and knives hacking, one after another, the desert rats fell into the pool of blood.

The desert rats that overran the food supplies were scared and started breaking up and running away. They were

all gone in a short while.

All that remained were the carcasses of hundreds of desert rats. This loss was almost nothing for the desert rat

colony.

The gunshots woke everyone in the camp, and they were disgusted to see the aftermath on the ground.

They had been through many troubles, such as sandstorms, quicksand, and venomous snakes and scorpions,

since the beginning of their journey.

Nevertheless, they had always resolved the issues without suffering any loss.

However, a desert rat invasion had robbed them of more than half of their food supplies.
