An Understated Dominance Chapter 1186
"Mr. Harrison! They're right here. My men spotted them coming in." This announcement caused a stir as a group from the martial arts alliance enforcement team stormed into the arena.At the forefront was a stern figure in black clothing. He was an alliance supervisor. Next to him was the enforcement team captain, who had been injured earlier by Dustin."Oh no! The enforcement team is here!" Lyn's expression changed as she quickly stood in front of Dustin. "Mr. Rhys, they're looking for you. You should leave now. I'll distract them," she said, wanting to repay Dustin for saving her life earlier."Lyn, why are you worried about him? Many alliance members are on their way. Let's hide and avoid the situation," Toddy suggested. He had the confidence, but not enough to take on the entire alliance."Mr. Rhys, please leave! If you don't, it will be too late!" Lyn became concerned as Dustin refused to leave."I'm not afraid of Graham, so why should I fear these guys?" Dustin smiled and

No one anticipated Dustin's impressive background. Many believed he was a disciple from a small guild with above-average abilities. But now, it was clear that this seemingly ordinary young man was actually the young grandmaster.Dustin's outstanding performance at the Knighthood Society Tournament, his victory over Augustus at Shinefield Lake, and the events in the Black Forest have solidified his legendary status in the martial world.In addition, Dustin challenged the leader of the martial arts alliance. Each of these events had a profound impact.He outshone his peers, and even veteran grandmasters were eclipsed by his reputation. Seeing this living legend in person put everyone in awe."Is he really a young grandmaster?" Lance was so startled that his body shook uncontrollably. He couldn't believe the person he had challenged was the legendary genius behind these extraordinary events. Dustin had defeated him with only one finger, and his leader had suddenly fled. Everythi

The captain immediately snapped out of his stupor. He quickly went forward and cowered. He showed his respect, and his voice trembled as he said, "Grandmaster Rhys, I take full responsibility. Please forgive me."Suddenly, a thunderous cry rang out. "What in the world are you doing?"Quincey and a group of top martial arts alliance members entered the arena. When he saw the captain and Wayne in such an embarrassing position, his expression darkened."You are a disgrace! Your actions have brought shame to our alliance!" Quincey stormed toward the two and slapped them. The two severely beaten people, feeling unjustly treated, hesitated to retaliate. They wondered if asking a grandmaster for mercy had been a mistake or if they should just accept their fate."Mr. Reeds, this is Grandmaster Rhys. The one who has challenged Sir Reeds," Wayne said nervously. He hoped Quincey would forgive him.Quincey angrily exclaimed, "You still dare to speak?" He continued to slap Wayne.He added

"I can't believe he got the Three Guardians to appear. Quincey has really gone all out!""It's rumored that the Three Guardians are all martial arts grandmasters. Although Dustin is skilled, it would be hard to go against three of them alone.""Is this how the martial arts alliance conducts itself? Dustin came to challenge the leader. Instead, they are trying to intimidate him with numbers.""What a blatant disregard of our martial ethics!"The crowd clamored at the sight of the three black-clad figures in masks. The Three Guardians were the alliance's hidden strength. They ranked higher than the elders and third only to the leader and assistant leader. They would never be deployed unless the alliance was in grave danger. Nobody knew how strong they were or what they looked like. Those who had seen their faces never lived to tell the tale. The last time the Three Guardians were dispatched was ten years ago. It was during Ronald's inauguration as the alliance leader. That

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in our affairs?" Quincey's expression darkened. "I'm a disciple of Boulderthorn, and I disapprove of your actions." Josie said indignantly, "The martial arts alliance should uphold fairness and justice. The alliance had accepted Grandmaster Rhys' challenge when he issued it. "But you're taking matters into your own hands. You try to attack him before Sir Reeds even arrives. "Where is the integrity of the alliance? Where is its dignity?" "That's right! If you're looking for a fight, do it the official way! You're such a coward for using numbers to bully him!""Grandmaster Rhys has shown respect to the alliance by coming alone for the duel. The alliance should be returning the courtesy. A duel in the battle ring is the only way to convince the public.""You guys aren't afraid, are you? Are you afraid that Grandmaster Rhys would threaten the alliance leader's position? Is that why you have resorted to such dishonest methods?"The martial arti

"Sir Williamson, I'm acting in the interest of our reputation." Quincey frowned.He continued, "This guy has killed an innocent man and is acting aggressively. He has no respect for the alliance. If we don't deal with him now, we'll likely face more in the future!" "Mr. Reeds, I saw what happened earlier. You were the one acting aggressive and arrogant." Emery continued calmly, "Besides, you have violated our code of conduct. You had commanded the Three Guardians without the permission of our leader. "If you insist on continuing this argument, you'll add another offense to your record—knowingly breaking the law.""You—!" Quincey was exasperated.Through gritted teeth, he whispered, "Sir Williamson, we're on the same side. Are you really going to oppose me for this brat?""Mr. Reeds, I've always handled matters objectively. I will never act in favor of personal gain."Emery declared confidently, "Everyone can tell right from wrong. I believe everyone here wishes to witness a

"Dustin, you must show them what you got and make a name for yourself. Show the world what it means to be unparalleled and unmatched!" Gazing at his tall figure with admiration and adoration, Josie murmured to herself. A real man should aim for remarkable achievements that would be remembered for generations. Marching forward courageously, they were undaunted by the challenges and obstacles ahead. That was what a true man was all about!"So he dares challenge the leader of the alliance. Today would be the day he dies!" Lance muttered darkly under his breath. He only prayed that Ronald would kill Dustin as soon as he went up on stage. "Hmph! He would end up dead anyway. He just lived a few minutes longer." Quincey grinned wickedly. His expression was extremely hostile. "Dustin, please be safe!" Lyn clasped her hands together in a silent prayer. "What the hell? He really went up? Does he think he has what it takes to defeat the leader?" Toddy frowned, filled with jealousy a

"Familiar?" Emery was curious."Have you met Grandmaster Rhys before, Sir Bolts?""I must have been mistaken." Woody stroked his beard and gave it some thought, but he couldn't recall anything. With his memory, he would never have forgotten such a talented martial artist. It was a rare sight to see a young man become a grandmaster in Dragonmarsh. In normal circumstances, he would never forget such a talent if he had met him before. That could only mean that they were not acquainted."Sir Bolts, you must be tired after traveling this far. Please, have a seat and rest." Emery gestured. "There's no rush. Let me have a word with the young grandmaster." With that, Woody headed straight for the stage.Emery frowned briefly before regaining his composure.The Martial Arts Union became powerful mainly because it attracted talent from all walks of life. Be it good or bad, anyone with skills or unique abilities could join the union if they were strong enough.Woody had clearly take

"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
