An Understated Dominance Chapter 1163
With Ray leading them, the Grant guards began gaining the upper hand. The disciples of the Kirin Gang had no choice but to back up.Ray's abilities were exceptional. Even the divine-level martial artists of Shadow Gang were no match for him.He was like a tank, constantly pushing forward and utterly unstoppable."Yes! That's what I'm talking about! Get them, and get them good!" Vlad roared excitedly when he saw the disciples of Kirin Gang slowly getting defeated. It was fortunate for him that he had Ray with him today. He would have lost sorely otherwise."Who's that, Lou? He's amazing!" Sue could not help asking Lou in a whisper."He's Ray Reeds. He just got back from Oakvale. His powers are unbelievable. "I heard that he's an elite disciple of the Celestial Alliance!" Lou told her with a look of admiration on his face."Celestial Alliance? You mean the strongest guild in the whole of Oakvale?" Sue's eyes widened.There were three major powers in Dragonmarsh, namely the Cel

Ray Reeds looked like he was in his early 30s, but he was already a fully developed divine-level martial artist.It could be said that his innate ability was one of the best among the younger generation in Balerno and even Oakvale."You're not bad, old man."Ray moved his slightly numb arm. He smirked, "In the whole of Balerno, not many can still stand after taking a punch from me.""You're quite good yourself, kid. Too bad you're still too inexperienced."Cornelius shook his head and said, "If you leave now, you can save yourself some pain. If not, I won't be holding back."Ray laughed. "Old man, you really think you could defeat me?"He turned his head sideways, tightened his fists, and sneered, "That was just a warm-up. If I actually put in effort, I can defeat you any minute.""Hmph! Cocky!"Cornelius' face darkened. "You're punching above your weight. Let me teach you a real lesson today!"As he spoke, he jumped and shot out like an arrow. He shouted as his fist landed o

"Beat me to death?"Ray was stunned at first to hear that. He then started laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke.The onlookers looked on with ridicule in their eyes. They looked at him as if he was an idiot."Is that guy crazy? How dare he talk to Ray like that? Is he not afraid of dying?" Sue was shocked."Hmph! You fool. You challenged Ray openly. You must be courting death!" Lou smirked.Who was Ray Reeds? He was an elite Celestial Alliance fighter and Sir Reeds's favorite. For someone as good as him, it'd be easy for him to crush a newcomer."Ray could take on a hundred opponents alone and still keep the situation under control. Who could stop someone like him? "Dustin is such an idiot. Instead of running away, he's decided to court death!" Rosaline shook her head as she looked on with no emotion."Hmph! He's arrogant just because he knows some moves. If you asked me, I think he'd be better off dead!" Florence said smugly, crossing her arms. "That young man has

"Damn! Is that little boy toy that amazing? Even Ray Reeds lost to him?" Lou was shocked."Am I seeing things? Ray's from the Celestial Alliance? I can't believe he lost to a nobody." Sue was a little confused."What a loser! He looks strong, but I didn't know he's actually this weak." Florence frowned and appeared upset."Do you think Dustin used any tricks on him?" Rosaline and Victoria looked at each other with a suspicious gaze.Ray was invincible just a few moments ago. They assumed that Dustin would lose for sure. No one had expected this ending. Was Dustin really that good? Or was Ray just all show and no substance?"So, what's it going to be? Are you willing to admit defeat or not?" With one foot on Ray's shoulder, Dustin asked arrogantly."Who … Who are you really?" Ray gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. As he tried, he realized that Dustin's leg was as heavy as lead. He was pinned to the ground on his knees, no matter how much he struggled."You don't need

"Uh…" Ray's eyes widened in disbelief.He'd never thought that Dustin would actually kill him. If he had known it earlier, he wouldn't have been this arrogant. However, he regretted it too late. As life seeped out of him, his pupils dilated slowly, and his consciousness gradually faded.Dustin lifted his hand and threw Ray's corpse away like a rag doll. Ray's corpse fell to the floor after hitting the wall heavily and kicking up a large dust cloud.Everyone at the scene was dead silent.They were stunned, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Nobody thought that Dustin would actually dare to kill Ray after he had announced his identity.It was known that Ray was part of the Celestial Alliance and the nephew of Ronald Reeds! Where did this guy find the guts to do it?"Dead … Dead? That guy actually killed Ray Reeds?" Vlad was shocked and found it hard to believe.Vlad and Ray shared similar social status, and Ray could have had a better future than him. This nameless guy had t

Kirin Gang wasted no time and sprang right into action as they cleaned up the mess.Without Ray as their leader, the Grant family fighters were nothing against the Kirin Gang. They were all defeated quickly."Bastard! You're dead meat! You killed Ray Reeds, and now you attacked the Grant family! From now on, you're the public enemy of two families! "There will be no safe place for you in Balerno!" Vlad shrieked with a horrified look. He was obviously a little flustered."Hmm?" Dustin glanced over and looked at Vlad as he walked slowly to him. "I almost forgot about you. What did you say earlier?""Don't … don't come near me!" Vlad panicked when he saw Dustin approaching. He yelled out meekly, "Let me warn you, my brother is General Lionheart, Tyler Grant. I have the backing of the whole Grant family. If you touch me, death will be your only way out!""Is that so?" Dustin snorted coldly as he suddenly reached out and held Vlad's head before forcefully smashing it against the wa

Night had fallen at the Balerno martial arts alliance headquarters.A group of alliance leaders gathered around Ray's lifeless body. They gestured and murmured among themselves.When Ray's body was brought back an hour ago, it caused a great commotion in the alliance. Not only was he a disciple of the Celestial Alliance, but he was also Ronald's nephew.Ray was the brightest star in the alliance. He was known for his extraordinary talent and potential. Many believed that in a few years, he would succeed Ronald as the leader of the martial arts alliance.But Ray's sudden and mysterious death had shocked the entire alliance."Ray? Where is my son?"At that moment, a burly, disheveled middle-aged man rushed in. The crowd moved aside as he pushed through them. Those who were slow were knocked over by him. The man was Quincey Reeds, Ray's father.He rushed toward his son's lifeless body and lifted the white cloth that covered him. Shock filled him as he looked at his dead son."Ra
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1170
"That bastard took my son's life! He completely looked down on the martial arts alliance." Quincey's face darkened. Then, he said, "Inform Ronald at once. Tell him to avenge my son."The staff replied hesitantly, "Sir Reeds is in seclusion. He has given strict instructions not to be disturbed."Quincey became even more agitated. "Seclusion is not important right now. His nephew has been murdered. Is he just going to ignore that?""Um …" The staff was still hesitant to deliver the message."You wimp! I'll go to him myself!" Quincey shoved the staff aside and stormed out.As he reached the door, an alliance member rushed in. He accidentally collided with Quincey and fell to the ground."Idiot! Are you blind? Do you want me to hit you?" Quincey roared in frustration.The alliance member quickly lowered himself and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Reeds. I didn't see you.""Damn it! Watch where you're going next time!" Quincey was about to walk away when he noticed the alliance member was

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
