An Understated Dominance Chapter 1100
"I—Is Mr. Saunders dead?"Caden's sudden violent outburst toward Rudolph stunned everyone in the room. They began to doubt Rudolph's treatment after he suggested that a silver needle could cure Caden.Caden flung Rudolph's lifeless body against the wall. This snapped everyone back to reality. "Mr. Saunders!"Vivian and Evan were devastated by Rudolph's death. "Quick! We must restrain Uncle Caden!" Jayden instructed his men to hold Caden down. But Caden attacked anyone who approached him."Caden, please stop!" Lily pleaded."Dad, come back to your senses!" Sheila cried out in despair.Their heartfelt pleas had no effect and only captured Caden's attention."Die!" He charged at Sheila with his hands aimed at his daughter's neck. "Caden, no!" Lily instinctively threw herself in front of Sheila to shield her.Suddenly, a silver needle flew from a distance. It hit Caden's neck, and he froze. Sheila stood stiff with her father's hand just inches from her neck. Meanwhile,

"Your safety is at stake if I don't return," Dustin said as he shot another silver needle.Caden was still struggling, but this time, the needle rendered him completely immobile."Dustin, don't you have medical skills? Please help my husband," Lily pleaded. "I'm sorry, but my medical knowledge is limited compared to Mr. Saunders'. You should seek his treatment."Lily glanced at Rudolph's lifeless body in the corner and sighed. She knew Rudolph wouldn't have died if he could cure her husband.Then, she added, "I apologize for offending you earlier. You're our only hope now that Mr. Saunders is dead."Sheila also pleaded, "Dustin, my father has lost his sanity. Please, save him.""Okay, I'll do my best to help you." Dustin felt indebted to Christopher, so he couldn't refuse to help his family."Thank you." Sheila expressed her gratitude.But Jayden voiced his concern, "Aunt Lily, are you sure about letting him treat Uncle Caden? Even Mr. Saunders couldn't do it. Can we trust th

Dustin knocked Caden unconscious after the others had left. Then, he proceeded with the treatment. Caden's condition had worsened due to practicing forbidden techniques. These techniques drained his vitality, damaged his circulatory pathways, and affected his internal organs. Moreover, Rudolph's treatment had exacerbated his condition. Hence, Dustin needed to use silver needles to stabilize Caden's life force. He then channeled his true energy to clear Caden's blocked circulatory pathways and mend the injured organs. Dustin began by inserting the silver needles into Caden's body. He started at the head, then the chest, and finally the abdomen. Afterward, he flicked the needles to infuse pure energy into Caden's pressure points. After one hour, Dustin stopped the flow of his true energy and collected all the silver needles.Lily looked at the unconscious Caden on the bed and asked, "Is it done?" "Don't worry, Caden was merely knocked unconscious. He'll wake up soon," Dustin

"Huh?" Caden's sudden awakening stunned everyone in the room, especially Vivian. She shook her head in disbelief."He's awake! My dad is awake!" Sheila cheered."He actually woke up? Is that punk's medical skill so amazing?"The group exchanged bewildered glances. They were shocked. Even Rudolph couldn't find a cure for Caden's illness, but Dustin had healed him."Vivian, any comment? Do you agree now that Dustin's abilities are amazing?" Sheila asked proudly."Um …" Vivian blushed in embarrassment. She had just made a bold statement and was now proven wrong. "What's going on? Why am I here?" Caden, looking confused and in discomfort, tried to sit up despite the pain."Dad, you were in a very serious condition, and Dustin saved you!" Sheila explained.Caden furrowed his brow. "Dustin saved me? How is that possible?""It's true!" Sheila insisted. "Without him, you might not have survived.""It can't be," Caden mused after thinking it over. "If Mr. Saunders couldn't heal me,

"No, no! That's not true!'" Sheila defended Dustin when they said he did something wrong. She shook her head and continued, "He's not a bad person. You can't simply accuse him!'""Silly girl, you're pretty young. Some people hide their true selves really well, and you might not notice it. Only someone like your dad, who can tell things apart, can see it," Caden said."Yes, Sheila, Dustin definitely has ulterior motives. Don't let him fool you," the others chimed in and tried to persuade her."I don't believe it! Dustin would never hurt anyone!" Sheila pleaded and turned to Lily. "Mom, please say something. You know Dustin saved me once and cured Dad's illness, right?""Caden, is there a misunderstanding here?" Lily tried to mediate."Nonsense!" Caden shouted.With a frown, he said, "Sheila might not see it, but can't you? I've met all kinds of people over the years. Some folks will do anything to gain favor or move up in society. I've seen it happen.""But—"Lily wanted to

Lily strongly disapproved of Sheila having a relationship with Dustin."Why do things have to be like this?" Sheila was crying under a dim streetlight after leaving the hospital. She loved Dustin regardless of his background, but everyone disapproved of their relationship. She asked herself, "Should I follow my heart and go after love, or should I listen to my family and hide my feelings?"Suddenly, a mysterious black SUV with fake license plates pulled up beside Sheila. Men in masks got out of the vehicle and surrounded her.Sheila asked, "Who are you? What do you want?" She instinctively stepped back.The leader of the masked group said, "Our master wants to talk to you, Ms. Murray. Please come with us.""I won't go with you! Leave me alone!""Catch her," the leader ordered his men, and they quickly rushed to stop Sheila."Let go of me!" She struggled as she cried for help."Sorry, Ms. Murray, but we must take you with us." The leader signaled his men to put Sheila in t

Sheila was tied up and unconscious in an abandoned steel factory, her eyes covered with a black cloth.Meanwhile, Diego had a charming smile as he savored good wine and steak."Mr. Bourbon, our target hasn't shown up. Maybe he won't come," a burly red-robed warrior reported."Don't rush it. Let's wait," Diego said and put down his utensils. He continued, "I've already looked into it. Dustin has a serious relationship with Sheila. Given his personality, he'll come to rescue her.""I'm worried he won't give up the Cherusia. Should we send our guys to attack the Zephyr Lodge and take the treasure?" the red-robed warrior suggested."Fools!" Diego scolded. "Zephyr Lodge has many strong elites. Even if we succeed, we will lose many of our men.""The fighters from Dragonmarsh aren't very strong, Mr. Bourbon. You're giving them too much credit," the red-robed warrior complained. He believed their battle-tested Kimboku warriors were tougher than Dragonmarsh martial artists."Dragonma

"Bastard!" The red-robed warrior couldn't control his anger and drew his sword."Mr. Rhys, there's a saying in Dragonmarsh: 'Do something at your peril.' Hand over the Cherusia, and I'll spare both of you. Refuse, and there's only one outcome. Death!" Diego threatened Dustin."Do you think your group can take me down? Are you that brave?" Dustin taunted."Don't believe me? Give it a try," Diego snapped his fingers.The red-robed warrior dashed toward Dustin with his sword. He roared, "Folks from your Dragonmarsh are nothing but eastern scoundrels. Today, you'll learn a lesson.""What did you just call us?" Dustin's face hardened, and he looked ready for a fight. About eighty years ago, Dragonmarsh had just been through a war. The Kimboku people often looked down on Dragonmarsh and called them "eastern scoundrels". After many years, Dragonmarsh improved and became a stronger country. But the shame from that period remained etched in memory.So, when the red-robed warrior sai

"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

"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
