An Understated Dominance Chapter 1051
Upon receiving Trent's orders, the Harmon family guards and the elite shadow guards took action."Quick! Seal off all exits and ensure this kid doesn't get away!""Acting so boldly on the Harmon family's grounds? He must have a death wish!"The guards quickly blocked all escape routes and surrounded Dustin.As Dustin exited the reception hall, he could feel the hostile stares of the guards on him. He guessed there were around two hundred of them, including Dylan's Dark Panther Cavalry soldiers. "Rhys! Release my son now, or you'll pay with your life!" Jacob yelled angrily."You're trapped, there's no escape. Release Dylan, and maybe I'll spare you," Trent warned."I only want Dylan. The rest of you can step back!" Dustin stated firmly."You're standing at death's door and don't even realize it. Look around and see who's in charge!" Trent threatened. Trent knew Dustin could not win against so many armed guards, no matter how skilled he was."Even though this kid managed to t

Dylan was stunned and muttered, "Again?"He was worried about Trent's impulsive decisions since the previous shots had missed Dustin completely.Jacob urged. "Trent, you've got to stay calm! Dyl's life is on the line here!" He wanted to prevent Trent from losing his temper and accidentally shooting Dylan."I'm concerned about Dyl's safety too. But have you considered our family's reputation if we let this kid escape?" Trent argued."This kid isn't a pushover. We should consider bringing in the aces," Jacob whispered."Aces? Where can we find them on such short notice? I say we take him down now." Trent insisted.Then, Jacob proposed a different approach. "But before we resort to that, let me try talking to him first. It's best if we can resolve this without violence."Trent took a deep breath and yielded. "You've got three minutes.""Okay." Jacob nodded and turned to Dustin. "Listen, you need to stop right now. There's no way you'll make it out of here alive today. But if y

These gangsters wore black with red headbands. They had a mythical beast emblem on their chest, representing the disciples of the Kirin Gang. "Secure the area!" Cornelius ordered as he led them into the Harmon family residence.Just like that, the Kirin Gang had outnumbered the Harmon family's guards. When the Kiring Gang arrived at the Harmon residence, the crowd scattered to avoid getting caught up in the mess."Who the hell are you? How dare you enter the Harmon family residence!" Trent yelled as they were surrounded."They're from the Kirin Gang!" someone from the Harmon family exclaimed."The Kirin Gang?!" The mention of the Kirin Gang caused various reactions among the crowd.The Kirin Gang had earned a terrifying reputation in Millsburg, surpassing even the famous Fabulous Five in power and influence."Who dares disrespect Sir Rhys?"With the guild leaders and disciples, Cornelius stood by Dustin's side. Their intimidating presence was proof of Dustin's influence."W

"Rhys, don't be too cocky!" Jacob snapped at Dustin, "You think being the leader of the Kirin Gang means you're all that? Don't forget, my son is a high-ranking commander of the Dark Panther Cavalry!"Dylan chimed in defiantly, "That's right! Dark Panther Cavalry supports me, and I am the subordinate of Scarlet Warrior. Your actions will have consequences.""Stop it right there, punk. If you let Dylan go, we can put this matter behind us. But if you insist on fighting, the Harmon family won't yield," Trent stated solemnly.While the Kirin Gang held power, the Harmon family was no pushover. They had a long history and many allies. They would receive help if they asked."I don't care about your allies or your family's influence. Dylan must die today!" Dustin grabbed Dylan by the neck and lifted him, thinking, "If I can't get him out, I'll have to kill him right here.""Ugh!" Dylan's face turned red as he struggled to catch his breath. The fear of death began to consume him.S

After Cornelius defeated the elderly man, he returned to Dustin's side."Rhys, today is my father's ascension as the new family head. I'm warning you to stop all this right now," Kate threatened.As Tyler's wife, she could now use the Grants Family's influence. This was the privilege given by Tyler that raised her status.Dustin retorted, "And what if I refuse? Can any of you stop me?"Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance. "What if we join forces with the Harmons?"The guests turned to look at the entrance as a group of skilled martial artists arrived. They looked strong and had their head held high.The crowd backed away in fear."It's the Hill family's martial artists!""Why are they here?""Look at that; these must be the Hill family's elite forces!"The guests chattered among themselves.They never expected the Hill family to be here. They were known for their well-trained and formidable martial artists, surpassing the Grants' elite forces."Dustin Rhys! If we join

Quinton sneered. "With these three forces against him, even the Kirin Gang won't stand a chance. This guy is as good as dead."Leah couldn't hide her satisfaction as she boasted, "Well, he deserves it for being arrogant." Her dislike of Dustin made her enjoy his misfortune."He's hopeless now." Livia shook her head, only able to watch from afar as they couldn't get close to the area.After regaining his composure, Trent warned, "Punk! Surrender now, or else."Kate, feeling victorious, added, "Rhys, I'll give you one more chance. Release Dylan immediately, or you'll regret it.""Dustin Rhys, stop this pointless fight and admit defeat!" Jacob said with a menacing tone.The Harmons were determined not to let Dustin off the hook. They had to kill him to avoid more trouble, but first, they needed to save Dylan.With a laugh, Dylan mocked Dustin, "The Kirin Gang leader? Even if you can fight, what's the use now? "Look! They are all on my side. I might spare you if you surrender no

With a loud "boom," the 30-foot-tall decorative rock formation shattered into pieces. At the same time, the pond split apart.The crowd was silenced, their wide-eyed looks showing their disbelief.About 40 feet away, another decorative rock formation also collapsed to the ground."Is he a grandmaster martial artist?""Wait! I remember hearing about a rising young genius in the martial world. Could it be him?""Wow! He's in his twenties and already a grandmaster martial artist. Unbelievable!"The crowd buzzed with excitement. While some were shocked or in awe. Meanwhile, Leah, Quinton, and Livie were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Dustin to be a grandmaster martial artist. They struggled to accept reality."No ... It can't be?" Trent's expression shifted from joy to sheer horror. He realized that he was in deep trouble.The reveal shook the Harmon family and struck them like thunder.It was fine if they had to face Dustin only. But it was now different after learning that

"I object! Being a grandmaster martial artist doesn't mean you can bully others with your title?" A stern middle-aged man in military attire stepped forward confidently. He was followed by a group of intimidating-looking, fully armed elite soldiers."General Zink!"Dylan's face brightened with relief as if he had found a savior. The despair in his eyes was replaced with hope."He's here! Our savior has arrived just in time!" Jacob exclaimed. He had lost hope for his son's survival but now saw a glimmer of hope."Wait, is that General Zink? What is he doing here?""I wonder if he's as strong as they say.""You guys don't know? General Zink is one of the Four Generals of the Dark Panther Cavalry. He's just one rank below the Scarlet Warrior and commands an army of one hundred thousand. His power and influence are unmatched in the region.""Wow, that's impressive!""General Zink being here means things are about to get interesting!"The arrival of Gideon sparked a wave of excit

Dustin's words made Mulder frown.Mulder knew all too well that Warrick was the kind of man who had no sense of loyalty or honor. If Warrick could kill his own personal guards without hesitation, what would stop him from killing a stranger? Mulder was certain that the moment things went south, Warrick would be the first to flee. Given the choice, he'd never willingly risk his life as Warrick's sacrificial pawn. But now, there was no turning back.With his undercover identity exposed and him helping Warrick escape, Mulder became a sworn enemy of West Lucozia. His name was now on the most-wanted list.Tonight was their best chance to escape. If they missed it, finding another way out would be nearly impossible.There was only one path left for him—kill whoever stood in his way and make it onto that escape boat."Enough talk, punk. Let's see what you're really made of," Mulder said.After weighing his options, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to draw his longsword. His fig

"You had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next," Dustin said.With a slight squeeze of his fingers, the steel blades clamped between them shattered with a sharp clang.Before the two Hall of Gods members could even react, Dustin waved his hand.The two men were sent flying as if they'd been hit by a truck, hurtling over 30 feet through the air. Blood sprayed from their mouths and noses before they hit the ground. They were critically injured and on the verge of death.Dustin slowly turned his head and looked at the man who had just tried to ambush him.The man glanced at the broken sword in his hand, then at Dustin, who looked utterly unfazed. He hesitated for a split second—then bolted.With a powerful leap, he dove straight for the sea. He knew Dustin's strength was on a completely different level. There was no chance of outrunning him on land, so the only hope was to disappear into the water.It might have worked—if not for what happened next.Just before he hit

"You're not a fisherman? Who the hell are you?"Mulder's guard shot up the moment he got a clear look at the young man's face.Fishermen who spent their days at sea were usually tanned from the sun, but this one had a fair complexion. It felt a little strangeNoticing something was off, the men behind Mulder drew their blades and fixed their sharp gazes on the fisherman.The so-called fisherman standing guard wasn't just anyone—it was Dustin, who had been waiting for them all along.Since his plan was set in motion, he'd been stationed there from morning until midnight. After what felt like an eternity, his targets had finally arrived."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to capture you."Dustin rose from the deck and rolled his shoulders before speaking in an even tone. "If you don't want to die, surrender now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.""Watch out! It could be an ambush." Mulder swiftly pulled out his dagger. His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings for any sign of hidden troops.

As night fell, Warrick sat motionless in his room as he tried to calm his mind through meditation. He had always been able to clear his mind with ease. But tonight, no matter how hard he tried, focus eluded him. A restless unease settled over him and refused to let him relax.Nearly two hours passed before Mulder's scouts finally returned. This time, they brought good news.The smuggling route they had scouted was completely safe, with no signs of an ambush. The West Lucozia army had yet to discover this potential escape route.Once everything was confirmed, Mulder let out a breath of relief. Warrick, too, finally felt the weight lift from his chest."Since the route is safe, we should set out immediately to avoid any unexpected complications." Warrick said. He had no intention of waiting any longer. He was a wanted man, and every moment in West Lucozia increased his chances of capture. There was no telling when the army might surround him. Only by escaping to Thaloria would he

After a hearty meal, the burly Warrick sprawled lazily onto the bed and dozed off. He slept soundly till dusk, lost in a deep dream. When the sky was painted in brilliant hues of the setting sun, only then did he wake up leisurely.The exhaustion from the previous day seemed to have melted away. He felt invigorated, refreshed, and in high spirits.At that moment, Leigh had already set the table in the hall with quiet efficiency. Compared to the first meal, this spread was far more lavish.At the center of the table sat a whole roasted pig. Its golden-brown skin glistened with a rich, crispy sheen. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making it impossible not to crave a bite.Warrick had never been one for formalities. The moment he saw the feast, he didn't hesitate. He strode over, took a seat, and started digging in. He ate with zero restraint without sparing a single thought for Mulder, who was still out gathering intel.After a while, half of the roast pig was gone. His fac

"Who is it?" Warrick's grip tightened around the hilt of his steel blade. His eyes, sharp and alert, were like those of a startled predator—full of caution and menace.For the past few days, he had been on edge, like a cornered animal. He barely slept and was constantly on high alert, fearing danger would strike at any moment.The door slowly creaked open. An elderly man with gray hair stepped inside with a tray of fruit and pastries in both hands.Before he could even register what was happening, a flash of cold steel appeared, and Warrick's blade was at the elderly man's throat.The elderly man trembled with fear. The tray slipped from his grasp, and fruit and pastries scattered on the floor."Easy, Sir Prescott. He's one of us." Mulder stepped forward and pressed down on the flat of Warrick's blade with a finger. He smiled and explained, "His name's Leigh Houston. He's mute and has served the Hall of Gods for years. He keeps watch over this tunnel entrance and has never slipp

"Here's the problem—even if we know Warrick's intentions, how do we stop him?" Austin asked.Right now, Warrick had already disappeared without a trace. Austin's team hadn't even come close enough to get a hold of him, so there was no way to track him down.West Lucozia's vast territory and resources made it impossible to seal off every exit route completely. While it might be manageable in the short term, prolonging such an operation would significantly impact West Lucozia's economy. Wasting resources on a single fugitive wasn't a wise move."Warrick is a wanted man across the entire city. There's no way he's leaving through official channels. He'll have to sneak his way out," Dustin analyzed. He continued, "According to the maritime charts, if he's traveling from West Lucozia to Artea, he'll have to go through Thaloria. That's our lead. Get someone on it immediately—find out how many smuggling routes there are from West Lucozia to Thaloria.""Got it. I'll get it done right away

"Damn you, Mulder! You've really screwed me over this time." Axel gnashed his teeth as rage boiled inside him. Mulder's betrayal hadn't just implicated Axel's sister, but it had also dragged Axel himself into the mess.Mulder had climbed the ranks to assistant chief of the City Defenders in just a few years, and Axel had played a major role in backing him.Now that this mess had blown up, Axel was right in the middle of it. No matter how he tried to explain, he was going to take the fall for it."Everyone, follow me! Let's capture that traitor."After learning Mulder's escape route, Axel waved his hand and led his enforcement team out at full speed.He had already messed up by failing to capture Warrick, which was a serious lapse in duty. Now, with his brother-in-law openly rebelling against them, things had only gotten worse.If Axel didn't turn this situation around and bring those traitors to justice, his days as an enforcement team captain were numbered.After a thorough s

"Damn it!" Warrick cursed. "I was just getting started."He was covered in blood. His eyes burned with a wild, excited gleam.Warrick lived for the fight. After two days in hiding, he was itching to let loose—and now that he had, he wasn't ready to stop."Sir Prescott, think about the bigger picture. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late," Mulder urged, grabbing his arm.At the far end of the street, dark figures were already visible in the distance, rushing toward them.Though Warrick still seemed reluctant, he quickly calmed down."Fall back!" he shouted.With that, he and Mulder charged past the checkpoint and led a handful of battered soldiers into the outer city.Unlike the inner city, the outer city had much weaker defenses. The sheer size of the area made it impossible to secure every corner, so only the main thoroughfares had a strong military presence.Mulder had already mapped out their escape route and prepared the gear.According to the original plan—if they ha
