"It's not easy, but I can cure Mr. Shaffer," Dustin said earnestly. "And I need your help, too.""Kid, if you can really cure Cinna, I'd sell Harmony Healers in a heartbeat," Brooke sighed. Then he asked, "Why do you think you can do it?"Brooke just met Dustin, so he had to be cautious. He could not make a rash decision since Cinna's life was at stake. "Well, you mentioned that Mr. Shaffer has some residual energy in him. If I remove the energy, would that prove I can heal him?" Dustin asked.Brooke's gaze sharpened. "That energy is very strong, and regular medical skills won't work. Don't make any empty promises."If it were that easy, Brooke would have already gotten rid of it sooner."I can't do it with regular medical skills, but I can with esoteric technique," Dustin explained earnestly. "Dr. Busch, give me half an hour. I'll be able to remove this energy. You'll see."Brooke hesitated, his brows furrowing. He was not sure if he could trust Dustin. Dustin was too you
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1286
Dustin gathered his mystical pure energy, gradually flowing it into Cinna's circulatory pathways.Cinna's heart sped up as a sudden surge of true energy clashed against Dustin's pure energy. As their energies collided, Cinna twitched as if he had been electrified.Dustin frowned and directed his pure energy to drain the ethereal soul seal's energy slowly. He couldn't risk overpowering the seal's power in one go. The seal's power was violent, like a beast, ready to devour any intruders. As he continued to drain the seal's energy, he replaced it with his true energy until the seal weakened.As time passed, Dustin continued to channel his true energy into Cinna. His forehead began to sweat, and his face went pale. He was drained and exhausted. Normally, this would have been manageable. But Dustin had to protect Cinna as he drained the seal's power, making it twice as exhausting.Cinna's heartbeat quickened as his face flushed. He perspired when his head emitted a white mist.
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1287
When Dustin's finger touched Cinna's chest, he trembled. Blood gushed out of his mouth and nose as his circulatory pathways shattered. His weakened body was in danger, and his life hung on by a thread.The ethereal soul seal immediately crumbled beneath Dustin's finger."Cinna!" Brooke was pale and trembling. He rushed forward to check Cinna's condition. After Brooke was sure Cinna was alive, he regained his composure. "Dustin! I warned you not to be reckless. "Do you know you nearly killed Cinna?" He scolded Dustin relentlessly.Dustin collapsed back on the chair, gasping for breath and sweating profusely. After catching his breath, he said slowly, "The situation was more complicated than I expected. Despite the risks I took, I successfully neutralized Mr. Shaffer's true energy.""Neutralized?" Brooke was taken aback and immediately checked Cinna's pulse. Although his vitals were weak, the violent energy was gone."Is it neutralized? How is that possible?" Brooke was surp
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1288
Dustin turned serious and said, "But, it's too soon to say I've saved him. "I have neutralized the true energy inside Mr. Shaffer, but his body has been severely damaged. His eight vital meridians are seriously injured. "He's like a living corpse right now. We must restore his circulatory pathways and rejuvenate his body for him to wake up.""Restoring his circulatory pathways and rejuvenating his body?" Brooke inquired, furrowing his brow. "We would need the legendary sacred medicine Sanctifix, which has been missing for ages. Where can we find it?"In ancient texts, Sanctifix was a medicine that could revitalize people. It could repair damaged circulatory pathways and congenital disabilities. Unfortunately, it was extremely rare. Even Brooke had only heard of it but had never seen it.Out of nowhere, Dustin blurted out, "I've seen the formula for Sanctifix, and I've written it down.""What?" Brooke widened his eyes in shock. "Yo—you know the formula?"Dustin nodded. "M
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1289
Brooke's question caught Dustin off guard. What could he not do? He could do Martial arts, medicine, alchemy, occult arts, secret techniques, southern mystic arts, and many others. There was nothing he couldn't do. "Well, I've read many books and have a good basic understanding of things," Dustin replied humbly."A basic understanding?" Brooke raised his brows, looking curious. At a young age, he can manifest energy, a skill of divine-level martial artists. And he called this a basic understanding? The energy trapped in Cinna's body had troubled Brooke for ten years. But yet, Dustin had neutralized it with a touch. And that's just a basic understanding? Dustin knew a top-notch alchemical recipe and could make Sanctifix. This would outshine the best alchemists in Dragonmarsh. And that's also a basic understanding? If all of that were just a basic understanding, everyone else was nothing compared to him. Dustin's modesty was intimidating."Dr. Busch, even though I can brew

Harper couldn't understand why Brooke had shown this secret place to someone he had only met."Well ..." Brooke hesitated, feeling awkward. He couldn't just say that Dustin had barged in.Dustin explained, "I'm here to visit my uncle, Cinna." "That's right, this is Mr. Rhys, Cinna's nephew. It's only natural for him to visit his uncle," Brooke said solemnly."Nephew? Uncle?" Harper looked at Dustin suspiciously. "Grandpa, are you sure he's not lying? Mr. Shaffer has been in a coma for ten years. "And suddenly, his nephew shows up to visit. Don't you think something fishy is going on?""You're overreacting. I trust Mr. Rhys is not a bad man," Brooke said firmly, dismissing her doubts."But—!" Harper was about to say more, but Brooke held his hand to cut her off. "Enough, let's talk about this later. "You said there was a problem downstairs. What happened?""Oh, that bastard, Ziggy Larkspur, is back. He claims that the medicine you prescribed him last time worsens his con
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1291
"Mr. Larkspur, it's been a while. Why are you so mad? Maybe I can make you some tea to calm your nerves."Brooke, Dustin, and Harper walked down the stairs, noting the chaos in the medical center. Brooke's brow furrowed, but he quickly composed himself."Hey, Dr. Busch, I see you've decided to show up. I thought you were turning into a chicken," Ziggy smirked, crossing his legs."I don't think I did anything to offend you. It isn't the best way to handle things by causing a scene," Brooke calmly replied."I'm here to get medical treatment. Are you saying I'm not welcome as a patient here at Harmony Healers?" Ziggy provoked."If you're here for treatment, I would be delighted to have you. But I'm afraid, Mr. Larkspur, you are not just here for the treatment," Brooke replied."Enough of this; let's talk about my treatment now." Ziggy was unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a festering wound on his abdomen. He pointed at the wound. "Dr. Busch, you promised me your golden salve would h

"Ziggy Larkspur! If you mess with us, I'll report you to the police," Harper threatened sternly."Report me? Hahaha!" Ziggy burst out laughing. Behind him, his henchmen laughed and looked at her with amusement. They wouldn't be as unrestrained as they were now in South City if they didn't have influential connections."Ms. Busch, you're so cute. I think I'm falling in love with you." Ziggy approached her, munching on an apple. "So, tell me, how will you report me? I'm the victim here. It's your quack doctors who made my injuries worse. "Will the police arrest me, the victim, or your Harmony Healers' quack doctor?""You ..." Harper was speechless. She knew Ziggy was deliberately causing trouble. However, Harmony Healers could not provide any hard evidence to defend themselves."Ziggy Larkspur, how dare you bully Harper?" Then, a well-groomed man in a smart suit with a slick hairstyle walked in. His demeanor made him seem someone important."Cody?" Harper's eyes lit up,

Axel swallowed hard, shock written all over his face. He had always known the Draken Guardians were formidable, but he had never expected them to be this lethal.He had pushed himself to his limit just to hold his own against Connor and Dave, only to end up seriously wounded. Yet, when the Draken Guardians arrived, they wiped them out—along with several dozen Red Legion soldiers—without losing a single man.If Axel hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Legion, a force renowned for its elite soldiers, could be so easily crushed. Or perhaps it wasn't that the Red Legion was weak, but that the Draken Guardians were far stronger than anyone had imagined.Even their most ordinary members were strong enough to become a mighty general. As for those at the level of captain, their strength was far beyond Axel's. The lethality of a team made up of such skilled experts had reached the point of being an overwhelming force."Mr. Cruz, please arrange some

"Damn it! This punk's tougher than I thought. We're in real trouble if this keeps up," Connor said, swinging his twin blades relentlessly. Every strike was aimed at Axel's vital points.But Axel was quick. He weaved in and out of reach and avoided direct confrontation. It was obvious he was just stalling for time."Sir Prescott should be far enough by now. There's no point dragging this out. Let's fall back."Sensing the futility of their efforts, Dave considered retreating. He didn't fear death, but he wasn't about to waste his life for nothing.Since Warrick had escaped, their interception mission was also completed."You guys hold him off. The rest of you, fall back with me."Connor was decisive. Realizing they weren't making any progress, he quickly ordered a retreat and left a few decoys behind to buy time.They had barely run a hundred yards when a wave of soldiers suddenly appeared at the alley's entrance. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, filled the narrow space and comple

"This punk's a real pain in the ass!"Connor glanced over his shoulder and noticed Axel was still hot on their trail.The squad he had sent to intercept Axel was completely outmaneuvered, and they couldn't get anywhere near him.To Connor's dismay, Axel kept shooting off signal flares as he pursued them. Each flare gave away their position. At this rate, it didn't matter which direction they ran—they were bound to be intercepted."Connor! Dave! Make a move and swat that damn fly," Warrick ordered decisively."If we leave, who's going to protect you?" Connor hesitated.Warrick was in bad shape. Without them guarding him, a single attack from an expert could be fatal."If you don't take out that fly, I'll be in even more danger. Get moving now!" Warrick snapped."Yes, sir!"Connor and Dave exchanged a glance before splitting up with their squads to surround Axel.They both knew what was at stake. If they didn't take Axel down quickly, their entire force would be stranded and do

"Kill them all!"At Warrick's command, the Red Legion charged without hesitation. Blades flashed as they stormed toward the elite enforcement unit.This time, nearly a thousand Red Legion soldiers arrived. With their sheer numbers, they launched a pincer attack from both flanks, leaving the enemy with no way to fend it off."Form the Shield Formation!" Axel shouted upon seeing the dire situation. His men immediately sheathed their blades and raised their shields to form a defensive line. Their pursuit had cut them off from the main force. Since they were up against an enemy ten times their size, forming a defensive line was their best option.If they could stall for even a moment, reinforcements from the castle would arrive, and the tide would turn in their favor. Once that happened, the thousand-strong Red Legion would be the ones on the defensive.After a brief charge, the two forces collided.Warrick had personally trained the Red Legion. He selected only the most loyal and

Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again."Get over here! We have to keep him restrained."As the net strained under Warrick's sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn't faring well. Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.Against Warrick's Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn't stand a

If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos

"You bastard! With all this evidence in front of you, what do you have to say for yourself?" Austin barked."Your Highness, please let me explain…" Huxley broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling with panic."This is a lie. Someone's trying to frame me! I've always followed the law—how could I possibly be involved in something so vile?""The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still trying to weasel out of it?" Austin shot back. "Looks like you won't confess until death is knocking at your door."He raised his hand and ordered, "Guards, throw him into Grimhold Keep. Use whatever means necessary—let's see how long he keeps up this act.""Yes, Your Highness."A squad of enforcement team members rushed in and surrounded Huxley.Cornered, Huxley finally lost his nerve. He dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, "Your Highness, I admit I made a grave mistake."His voice cracked as he continued, "I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Please, for the sake of my y
