An Understated Dominance Chapter 1090
The next morning, Dustin drove to Swinton after making arrangements at Zephyr Lodge.Now that he finally got his hands on the Cherusia, he had all the herbs he needed. Everything was set.He didn't know how long Gregory could hold up with the Celestial Decay. He had to produce the Longevitum as soon as possible so as not to have to worry about him. It took Dustin about half a day to reach Peaceful Medical Center.All was quiet and peaceful in the medical center. Gregory lay on an easy chair, drunk, as usual. He stank of alcohol.Caitlyn busied herself around the place, wiping the chairs and tables, doing the laundry, and cooking. She kept the medical center clean and in order.As for Maximus, the sword fanatic, he focused on training in the yard.While he used to be known as Lightning Blade, he now focused on slowing down. Though it didn't look much, his every move was restrained yet powerful.He changed his way of wielding his sword and reached a new level of swordsmanship. I

It wasn't until he saw the faint smile on Dustin's face that he knew what was going on."Oh, get lost, you little brat!" Gregory huffed.Then, he made himself comfortable on the easy chair and got ready to sleep again."Come on, stop sleeping. I've got serious business." Dustin took out two wooden boxes and placed them on the table. One had the thousand-year green lotus, and the other had the Cherusia."I've made a decent haul in Millsburg this time. The last two remaining herbs are here. I can start producing the Longevitum now.""Oh? So soon?" Gregory sat up lazily. "I thought my days were numbered. Who'd have thought that you actually managed to collect all the herbs. How fortunate!""Enough with your nonsense. Go bring out all the herbs we collected from before," Dustin urged."Alright, alright, I'll go get them." Gregory stretched sluggishly before searching through several drawers and cupboards. It took him a while to find all the herbs that he'd hidden away."Maxim

"What?" Dustin became worried when the furnace exploded. He was so close to success. Why? Why had the furnace exploded? Had all his previous efforts gone to waste now?"No … That's impossible!" Dustin shook his head, sweat dripping uncontrollably.He was unwilling to believe he failed and refused to accept this outcome. He began to comb around the debris of the exploded furnace. He went through every piece and every fragment.He searched through them like a wolf, searching for its prey, hungry and wild. Suddenly, he paused.Under all the debris and residue, he saw a hint of gold.The shiny gold color shone through the residue surrounding it like a ray of light in the dark. It was eye-catching.After a brief pause, Dustin slowly reached out to dust the residue around it away.Bit by bit, inch by inch, he removed every piece of debris and residue from it with his heart in his mouth. Finally, a perfect gold pill appeared before his very eyes.The gold pill was crystal clear, and

Gregory had no plans to let them drink more of his vodka, apart from the three tiny shot glasses he poured.Dustin, Maximus, and Caitlyn exchanged looks of disbelief.In the end, Gregory finished the remaining vodka himself."That was some good vodka!" Gregory burped after he was done drinking. He looked refreshed and in high spirits.Now that he was happy and content, he picked up the Longevitum and swallowed it.With a gulp, the Longevitum slid down his throat, giving out a burst of golden energy. It coursed through his entire body.The energy contained a strong and vibrant vitality, nourishing Gregory's body like a spring of living water. His circulatory pathways, which had dried up, began to flow. Color returned to his pale face.There seemed to be a glimmer of gold in his old, cloudy eyes. Changes began to take place in his limbs, organs, skin, muscles, and hair.Gregory's frail old body quickly absorbed the vitality of the golden energy.Soon, his white hair slowly turne

Caden lay unconscious in a VIP ward in East Swinton Hospital.He was pale, and his breathing was weak. His heartbeat was slow, and his body felt cold to the touch. At a glance, he looked like he was dead.A group of specialists were in the ward, whispering among themselves. They were discussing his condition and thinking of all the possible treatment methods they could use.But after a long time, they came up with nothing. None of them could suggest a treatment plan.Lily, Sheila, Vivian, and Evan stood at the side. There was nothing they could do except panic."Dr. Johnson, how's my husband's condition? Can you treat him?" Lily finally asked after seeing how they had discussed for a long time and yet still unable to come up with anything."Mr. Caden's condition is weird. We've gone through all our medical books but couldn't find any condition matching his symptoms. Our hands are tied."Dr. Johnson, the most senior among the doctors, shook his head helplessly. He had never seen

"Dragonmarshian doctors are useless. You've been here for so long, and none of you have been able to come up with anything. "In the end, we can only put our hopes on Mr. Saunders." Vivian sighed."Exactly! These good-for-nothings don't hold a candle to Mr. Saunders." The Murrays began showering Rudolph with flattery.So many specialists gathered there, but not even one of them knew how to treat Caden. But Rudolph had simply given him a checkup and was able to tell what was wrong. The difference between them was too obvious."Since you know how to treat him, please proceed with the treatment, Mr. Saunders." Lily did not wish to waste any more time."Bring me my medical box." Rudolph waved his assistants over and gestured for them to put his medical supplies in front of him.He opened up the boxes and began rummaging through them. Then, he pulled out a black bottle. "This is the Golden Elixir, made of 108 rare and expensive herbs. It's especially useful for clearing blocked ci

"Y—you're spewing nonsense!" After being exposed, Rudolph tried to act calm and composed. But he could not hide the panic in his eyes.Though he hated to admit it, the Golden Elixir was cheap stuff that cost no more than several hundred.Of course, he could have easily sold it for several thousands with his reputation and medical skills."Nonsense? Well, why don't we check out the components of the elixir then?"Dustin pressed. "If I'm not mistaken, there's also some form of stimulant added to the Golden Elixir. While there may be immediate life-saving effects, it would still deplete the patient's life."What you're doing is the same as killing the patient! You heartless bastard!""Rubbish! I'm a miracle doctor from Kimboku! Someone like you should be looking up to me! How dare you accuse me?"You better apologize to me right this instant!" Rudolph fumed. "Apologize? Do you deserve an apology from me?" Dustin scoffed."You're not going to apologize, are you? Fine! I won't car

Just as they were about to say more, Lily cut them off. "Enough! This is not the time for pointless bickering! Caden's life is at stake!""Exactly! Dustin! Quick, save my father!" Sheila quickly reacted.Though Rudolph had a great reputation, she trusted Dustin more."Wait a second!" Dustin was about to go up to Caden when Jayden stopped him. "This is a life at stake! We cannot afford you messing things up! Mr. Saunders must be the one to treat him!""I said it, he can't help him. He'll only put him in danger," Dustin answered."If even Mr. Saunders can't help him, what makes you think you can?"Jayden suddenly turned to look at Lily. "Aunt Lily, you should be the one deciding. Do you trust Mr. Saunders, or do you trust this brat?""Well …" Lily was in a dilemma when presented with such a choice.She had seen for herself how good Dustin's skills were. He had been the one who cured Sheila of her strange condition.But Rudolph had an exceptional reputation. He had been practic

Mulder's body trembled, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. His energy drained, and his entire being seemed to collapse.Dustin's finger flick had not only shattered his sword but also injured his internal organs. With the effects of the enhanced serum wearing off, Mulder was now back to his original state and completely spent.His once-powerful frame now shrank like a punctured balloon. He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant. Mulder could no longer fight. Even standing up was a challenge."He's finished," Dustin said coolly, then looked at Warrick. "Now it's your turn.""Hmm?" Warrick frowned, and his expression turned serious.Dustin's display of strength earlier had made him feel a sense of crisis. If they fought head-on, there was no telling who would come out on top.But Warrick was just one step away from escaping West Lucozia, bound for Artea and a life of freedom and luxury. He had no intention of risking his life in battle unless he absolutely

"This is interesting." Dustin smirked as the dense barrage of swords came slashing down at him. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished.A storm of sword shadows carrying the force that could split rivers and overturn seas crashed down on the fishing boat where he had just been standing. The entire vessel broke apart in an instant—some sinking into the depths while others drifted across the water."What? He dodged it?" Warrick's eyes flickered with surprise.Mulder's attack just now had been a 360-degree attack. Once caught in its range, there was no chance to dodge—only the option to endure. He couldn't understand how Dustin had managed to avoid it. Did he just teleport?"Hiding like a coward? What kind of warrior are you? Come fight me face-to-face."Frustrated after his attack missed again, Mulder grew desperate. His enhanced serum would only last for 15 minutes. If this dragged on, he'd collapse from exhaustion before Dustin even touche

"Oh? Are we going all out now?" Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.As the serum's effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface."D

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
