An Understated Dominance Chapter 1529
"Marriage?" Dahlia frowned immediately upon hearing this. They had just met today, and she barely knew anything about "Rhett". Even if he had saved her life, agreeing to a marital commitment was a big jump. It was evident from Anders' words that he saw her as a tool, a commodity that was up for sale. It made her extremely uncomfortable."Anders, marriage is a serious matter. You shouldn't treat it lightly," Seamus raised an eyebrow."Godfather, Mr. Adams and Dahlia are a match made in heaven. Coupled with his heroic actions, they seemed destined for each other. If they got engaged today, it would undoubtedly be a doubly joyous occasion," Anders advised."Dahlia, what do you think?" Instead of giving a direct answer, Seamus turned to Dahlia for her opinion."Godfather, I'm extremely grateful to Mr. Adams for saving me, but to repay him with marriage is something I just cannot bring myself to do." Dahlia shook her head gently."Dahlia, marriage is often decided by the parents. I

"Alright, since both of them are unwilling, let's drop the matter," Seamus finally spoke. "Young man, you're not only courageous but also possess an outstanding character. Your unwavering commitment to your principles is truly admirable. If you encounter trouble in the future, don't hesitate to reach out to me.""Thank you, Sir Mosey!" Dustin immediately expressed his gratitude with a bow.Dahlia sighed in relief. At the same time, she became curious about the seemingly ordinary man before her. Even though she wasn't one to rely on her appearance, being rejected was an unfamiliar experience. Unknowingly, she felt a twinge of jealousy as she thought about the man's fiancée. It wasn't easy to find such a capable and devoted man. "I hope you won't regret your choice," Anders said in a lowered voice, his gaze growing more hostile. Dustin had inadvertently disrupted two of his plans in a row. What a stroke of misfortune! His hatred for him would not be resolved until he was dealt

"Dustin, since we got what we came for, should we leave now?" Abigail asked."There's no need to rush." Dustin shook his head."If we leave too soon, it might raise suspicion. Let's stay a little while longer. We'll leave when someone leaves.""Alright, there's plenty to eat and drink anyway, and there's performances to watch. And it's all free. I think it's a shame to leave now too." Abigail chuckled.With so many delicacies and fine drinks, they would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars for it themselves. But they could enjoy it all for free here. It was indeed a luxurious experience."Mr. Adams …" Dahlia suddenly approached them with a smile."Thank you for saving my life earlier. If it wasn't for you, I would have been killed by the Onyxclaw. This is a small gift of my appreciation. I hope you'll accept it." As she spoke, she took out an emerald badge and handed it to Dustin with both hands.The back of the emerald badge was exquisitely carved with dragons and phoen

"Your perfume smells strange." Abigail sniffed before she spoke unexpectedly. "Really?" Dahlia sniffed but didn't notice anything unusual."I'm using a regular perfume that many people use too.""It's not the perfume that's the problem. Someone added something to your perfume, probably a hint of blood." Abigail took another sniff and concluded. "You're right." Dustin nodded in agreement. "It would be difficult for an ordinary person to detect the faint scent of blood, but animals have a unique advantage in this regard. The Onyxclaw must have sensed it.""I see." Dahlia nodded in realization.No wonder the Onyxclaw turned aggressive the moment it approached. It turned out that someone had tampered with her perfume."Rhett … I have another question." Abigail tapped her chin thoughtfully and asked, "You mentioned earlier that the Onyxclaw is an intelligent creature. It's also been tamed. It shouldn't have turned so aggressive if it had just been a hint of blood, right?""Th

"Robbed?" The crowd exchanged looks of disbelief upon hearing this. Who could be so bold as to steal something from the Moseys' mansion? Were they not afraid of losing their lives?"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry for being this rude, but the missing item is important to me. Please forgive me." Anders first apologized to the crowd before continuing, "I will now conduct a search with my hunting dogs. I kindly request that everyone stand where you are to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings."After speaking, he made a gesture, instructing his subordinates to secure all entrances and exits. Then, two well-trained hunting dogs arrived, and the inspection began. Even though his actions had crossed a line, nobody dared speak out due to his identity. They could only cooperate obediently."Conduct a thorough search. Don't miss any corner!" Anders commanded with a stern voice.He had returned to his room to rest, only to find his Emerald Corolla missing. This precious rare treas

Even though she knew the man before her was out for her life, she showed no signs of it. "The bigger picture?" Anders' gave her a contemptuous gaze. "Does someone like you understand what a big picture is? Other than Godfather, I have the final say in everything in this house! That is the bigger picture!""Perhaps you have the power and influence, but that doesn't mean you have the right to act recklessly. After all, Godfather is still the one in charge here." Dahlia stood her ground."Haha … Alright, very well!" Anders suddenly laughed, but his gaze was cold. "Dahlia, you truly are smart. That's probably why Godfather values you. Unfortunately, people like you usually don't live long. Take care of yourself."Upon saying that, he patted Dahlia's shoulder and walked away. How dare a powerless woman challenge him? She was digging her own grave!"Ms. Nicholson, you probably have angered Anders for backing us up. I'm afraid you'll have a harder life going forward," Dustin warned.

Upon returning to the villa, Dustin began to make the necessary preparations.He had finally gathered all three precious herbs needed. The rest of the supplementary herbs were prepared beforehand. Next, it was time for the most crucial step—producing Sanctifix. "Maximus, I'll be locked up in there for a day. You need to keep watch vigilantly. No one is to enter and bother me," Dustin reminded."Don't worry, Dustin. Not even a fly will be able to enter these doors!" Maximus guaranteed with a confident pat on his chest.Dustin nodded before looking over at Brooke. "Dr. Busch, I'll leave Mr. Shaffer in your hands then. Nothing must happen to him before I come out of the room.""Rest assured. I might not be able to cure Mr. Shaffer, but I'm fully capable of keeping him alive for some time," Brooke assured. "Great. I'll leave things to the both of you then." Dustin gave them simple instructions and wasted no more time on words before entering the makeshift alchemy room.He had all

"Do you smell that, Max?" Brooke seemed to sense something, and he took a deep breath."You mean the herbal scent?" Maximus tilted his head curiously. "It's been there all along, hasn't it? What's wrong?""No, it's different now. It's quite special." Brooke went up to the door of the alchemy room. Then, he crouched down to catch a whiff of the scent wafting out from the gap under the door. He spent most of his time around herbs. Thus, he could easily detect the slightest change in scent.All of a sudden, the door creaked open.Dustin was just about to step out of the room when he spotted Brooke crouching on the ground in a weird position. "Dr. Busch, what's wrong? Are you having a stomachache?" "Uhh …" Brooke smiled sheepishly before quickly reacting. He promptly asked, "Dustin, how is it? Did you succeed in producing Sanctifix?"Dustin sighed and put on a dejected expression when he heard that.At the sight of Dustin in such a state, Brooke froze and paled. "You f-failed?" h

After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

"How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap

Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed

Willem was so fast that, even to a grandmaster, it would appear as though he had teleported, leaving no time to react.Bailey had already drawn Arion's full attention, making Willem's sudden attack almost impossible to counter.When everyone thought his attack was about to succeed, a red divine talisman suddenly shot out and stuck to his forehead just as his fangs were mere inches from Arion's neck.The talisman exploded, releasing a surge of violent energy that blasted Willem over ten yards away. Before he hit the ground, a blazing fireball instantly engulfed him.He screamed as he turned into a human torch. The fire burned fiercely, scorching his flesh and charring his body.The flames clung to him like a curse and were impossible to put out. His blood energy crackled and hissed as the fire burned, and thick black smoke rose from his body.The sight shocked everyone.Just moments ago, Willem had almost succeeded in his ambush, but Arion had been prepared. With a single talisma

Thousands of golden whips lashed out with the force of a storm, and it was impossible to dodge.The group led by Bailey launched their attacks to block and continually struck the golden whips. With each collision, energy erupted, followed by loud booming sounds.Arion stood firm like a mountain. His body was enveloped in golden light as he swung his whips. Even though he was outnumbered, he still held the advantage.Bailey and the others couldn't break through at all. A few slightly weaker gods from the Hall of Gods were forced to retreat with each lash and struggled to withstand the onslaught.At that moment, everyone finally realized the terrifying power of Dragonmarsh's strongest martial artist. Even the attacks evolved from the Glow Incantation were enough to throw them off balance."I don't believe these things can stop me!"Bailey roared as his body began to change. His already large frame grew even bulkier, like a small mountain. His shirt tore as his muscles expanded, and

The sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise. No one had expected Arion to strike so suddenly; he was so fast that they couldn't even see his movement.Even Willem, renowned for his speed, couldn't react in time. One slap had sent him flying—simple, brutal, and unstoppable.At that moment, they finally realized that the seemingly harmless Arion was much more formidable than they had imagined.Willem staggered to his feet and reached up to straighten his twisted neck. His collapsed cheek began to heal at a visible rate. Fortunately for him, vampires possessed extraordinary regenerative abilities. Without it, the slap would have crippled him."You're strong for an old geezer, but it'll take more than that to finish me off," Willem hissed through clenched teeth. The bloodthirst in his eyes was unmistakable as he glared at Arion. If he could drain Arion's blood, his strength would surge to unimaginable heights."Oh? This is interesting." Arion raised an eyebrow with a faint smi

The battle between the Hall of Gods and Sacred Wrym Summit raged with unrelenting intensity. The Hall of Gods had made meticulous preparations for this invasion. Besides recruiting powerful martial artists from around the world, they also distributed valuable enhanced serums to everyone. To counter Sacred Wrym Summit's Stormcraft technique, they developed a special combat suit capable of resisting such attacks. Generally, a divine martial artist struck by Stormcraft would instantly lose their combat ability, but this special suit reduced the effectiveness of the attack by half. Even if struck, they could recover after a brief moment to continue fighting. The defensive capabilities of this gear were nearly flawless.In addition, their greatest strength was the sheer weight of their numbers. They had at least ten thousand people, including hired outlaws, under their command. During the siege, they were densely packed like a swarm of bees.In contrast, Sacred Wrym Summit had only

Willard's ultimate move cleared the battlefield in an instant. The martial artists who had rushed forward were either dead or critically wounded, with no ability to defend themselves."This… How is this possible?" Hank's eyes widened in terror as cold sweat beaded on his forehead.Under the restriction of the sealing formation, even ultimate grandmasters couldn't unleash their full strength. But Willard, with nothing more than a flask of liquor, had managed to tap into a supreme divine power far beyond his cultivation level.Though he was only at the grandmaster level, his move, Infinite Spirit Manifestation, carried the might of an ultimate grandmaster. If he were to use it again, the outcome would be grim for everyone, including himself."Retract!" Willard took a deep breath and the thousands of illusory images that had surged forth earlier instantly retracted into his body. His face turned red and pale as his breath grew heavy and ragged.The toll of using Infinite Spirit Manif

"Take a guess." Willard didn't answer. Instead, he took another sip from his flask.His cultivation had been sealed, but his strength came from the wine in his hand. The wine was refined with valuable herbs and contained dense spiritual energy, which he could absorb and convert into combat power.In short, every sip made him stronger. Even with his cultivation sealed, he could still execute powerful techniques."It's the wine, isn't it?" Garrett's gaze landed on the flask, and a quick realization set in. Willard drank before and after every attack, which hinted at something suspicious."Bingo. But no prize for you." Willard smirked and launched forward with a palm strike aimed at Garrett. Though his strength wasn't at its peak, the attack remained a deadly threat to the already injured Garrett."Mr. Styles, save me." Garrett knew he had no chance of blocking it and cried for help."Go to hell, traitor!" Hank saw the internal commotion unfold and threw a powerful punch at Willard
