An Understated Dominance Chapter 1542
Dustin had just gotten out of his car when he was blocked by two men with full tattoo sleeves."I'm here to meet someone," Dustin answered coldly."We need to run a body check on you!" the two men said before promptly patting Dustin down.He did not resist their actions and simply stood there cooperatively without moving. He wasn't going to do anything rash without ensuring Lana's safety."Alright, go on in." After checking Dustin and making sure that he didn't have any weapons on him, the two men stood aside and let him in.Dustin said nothing and entered the cathedral.In the cathedral, a burly man with unkempt stubble sat topless at a table. He had a bunch of lackeys around him, and they were enjoying a huge feast of roasted lamb. There were also all sorts of alcohol on the table. As they sat there, stuffing their faces with the lamb and chugging on alcohol, they looked like they were having the time of their lives.Over in a corner, Lana was tied to a stone pillar with a

"What?" The bald man looked at his penis on the ground, then at his crotch. The bald man was stupefied. His eyes widened in disbelief.What had just happened? Why was his penis on the ground?"Ahh—!" After a moment, he came to terms with what he saw, and the man gave out a blood-curdling shriek. His knees gave way, and he fell on his butt. His nether region bled profusely."Ah! My dick! My dick!" the bald man shouted and groaned in pain as he rolled around on the ground. The sudden commotion shocked everyone."John! What's going on?" the stubbled man immediately stood up and asked."My dick's gone! Someone chopped my dick off!" the bald man, John, cried as he picked up his bloody dick and raised it high above his head, showing it to the rest of them."Damn it! Who the fuck did that? Who dares hurt my men? Get the fuck out here!"The stubbled man scanned the room menacingly. All the other men pulled their weapons out, looking around warily."It was me." Dustin walked out o

The members of the Black Grizzly Gang suddenly froze as they rushed forward. It was as if they had been turned into stones. Soon, explosions could be heard, and all the members of the Black Grizzly Gang started swelling like balloons and exploded one by one.All of a sudden, severed limbs flew, and fresh blood splashed everywhere. It was a bloody mess in the deserted cathedral."What?" The stubbled man was stunned beyond words. The cigarette between his lips fell to the bloody ground. Were they all dead? The fight was just about to start, and he had already killed 20 to 30 people! Was he really human? Only the devil could do such a thing!His boss didn't send them to a job; he sent them to their death!"How could this be? Who is that person?" At this time, John looked terrified and could no longer care about the pain he felt. They had initially thought this would be an easy kill with the support of their boss. There shouldn't be any problem. They had never thought that their

John felt like thousands of wild horses were trampling his heart as he watched his leader surrender. Didn't he say they would rather die than disgrace the gang's principles? Didn't he say they'd die trying? Did he just fucking change his mind in a blink of an eye? Now that he could live, what would happen to him?"Hey, didn't you say we'd die together? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" John was shocked."Hey man, don't blame me. I have a family to feed; I can't die yet. Besides, you're already infertile. "There isn't a purpose to your life anymore. I'll take care of your siblings for you. You may leave in peace," The stubbled man said compassionately."You asshole! You've betrayed our gang's principles! You should fucking die!" John was furious as he unsheathed his knife and attempted to stab the stubbled man.The stubbled man quickly reacted as he picked up a brick from the floor and aimed straight at John's head."Bam!" It was a muted but sickening sound. The brick

The stubbled man trembled and fell backward. He had never expected that."I don't have to keep my promise with a piece of trash like you," Dustin replied coldly.After that, he stepped over the corpse and walked toward Lana. He untied her and took off the blindfold covering her eyes. He asked gently, "Ms. Camron, are you alright?""I'm fine. It's a good thing you arrived in time. If not, I would have been defiled by these animals." Lana let out a sigh of relief. She might have seen a lot, but she had never gone through any experience like this. If Dustin had not saved her in time, they would have sold her off to another place after defiling her. It would be terrible if that happened!"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Dustin felt a little guilty. He had upset Scott, so Scott kidnapped Lana to get back at him."What are you talking about? We're partners! We'll go through everything together! Isn't that right?" Lana laughed casually and continued, "Besides, it's all Scott's fault

The news about the Black Grizzy Gang's doom spread quickly throughout the slum. The gangs who initially had set Dustin as their target avoided him like the plague.The Black Grizzly Gang was one of the major gangs in the slum. No one expected them, especially their elite fighters, to be killed in the blink of an eye. Those who knew what was good for them wouldn't dare to mess with Dustin.With Lana by his side, Dustin drove out of the slum without any trouble. The story of the mighty warrior began to spread in the slum.After half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Lana's private mansion."Hey, Handsome, do you want to come in for a while?" As Lana got out of the car, she invited Dustin in with a smile. Her dress was torn. Her tattered clothes revealed her fair legs and sexy body."Thanks, but no thanks. It's already late. You should get some rest." Dustin rejected politely."Handsome, I'm a little scared to be alone now. How about you stay here with me for tonight? If

"You look pretty even when you were young." Dustin praised politely. Even though Lana captured everyone's attention now, she was obviously eye-catching since she was young."Well, the past is the past." Lana opened her fridge, turned around to look at Dustin, and asked, "Hey, Handsome, what do you want to drink?""I'm good with anything," Dustin replied."Alright then." Lana took out a dozen cans of beer and put them on the coffee table. She also put some snacks on the table to go with the beer."Here's to us!" Lana opened two cans of chilled beer and gave one to Dustin. After they chinked cans, they started drinking happily."This feels great!" Lana downed half a can of beer in one go. She smiled happily as her eyes crinkled in joy. The pleasure of having chilled beer on a hot summer's evening was beyond description."Hey, Handsome, what do you think of me?" Lana drank and asked with a smile."A kind beauty." Dustin gave her a simple answer. They had worked together seamles

While listening to Lana's story, Dustin couldn't help but be astonished. Despite their privileged lives, some daughters of wealthy families still had to contribute value to their families. Either they excelled in business, continuously earning profits for the family, or were strikingly beautiful, securing benefits through an arranged marriage. Women like Lana, both beautiful and outstanding, were crucial pawns for their families to climb the social ladder. Therefore, she couldn't decide her marriage on her own. After all, the Camron family relied on her, and she carried the weight of the entire family.Dustin finally understood why Lana was willing to endure gossip and tarnish her reputation. Ultimately, she had no choice, being forced into a situation beyond her control."Here, cheers," Dustin said, raising his can."Cheers!" Lana smiled, clinked their beer cans, and finished the remaining beer. She then opened two more cans, handing one to Dustin."I consider myself lucky t

When Dustin heard Felicia's word, his hand briefly hesitated before he placed the chess piece. He smiled and said, "I thought you came to learn chess, but I didn't expect you to be here as a messenger."Felicia gave a light, teasing laugh. "With a mind like yours, how could you not know why I'm here?"She added candidly, "Prince Nathaniel saved my life and welcomed me as an honored guest. It's only right that I repay the favor by helping solve his troubles. I hope that it doesn't bother you.""You're frank and gracious, Ms. Thorns. Why would I take offense?" Dustin replied with a faint smile.He had expected her to start with pleasantries or try to butter him up. So, her bluntness actually caught him off guard."To be honest, Prince Nathaniel has never taken this kind of interest in anyone before," Felicia said as she placed another chess piece on the board. She smiled and continued, "I can tell he truly wants you on his side. And as someone close to him, I'd like to help make

Nathaniel's mansion was huge. It was more like a maze than a home. Even with a detailed layout, Dustin had to stay sharp as he moved through the grounds. After all, blueprints never quite captured the twists and turns of the actual place.Led by a maid, he followed a winding path through the corridors for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at a guesthouse with a garden.The place was spacious and quiet, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. It was a secluded spot that was ideal for privacy."Mr. Rhys, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," the maid said. Her gaze was warm with a hint of admiration. She had watched Dustin's performance in the training ground earlier and knew he was an important guest brought in by Nathaniel. If she could catch his attention, it could completely turn her life around.He waved her off and said, "Okay. You can go now. I don't need anyone to attend to me." "Uh… but…" The maid hesitated."Don't worry. I'll explain

The crowd murmured among themselves as they looked at the broken broadsword and the stunned expression on Lycas' face."That strike was insanely fast and dead-on too," someone commented."I never expected General Derin's secret move to be defeated like that. It's unbelievable," another said."I thought General Derin could turn things around for us, but he still lost," a third added.Everyone knew how strong Lycas was. As a fully developed grandmaster with a broadsword, he was supposed to be unstoppable. However, at the critical moment, Dustin's strike shattered his broadsword.Lycas' loss was sudden and almost unbelievable. Some blamed bad luck and thought he could have won if things had gone differently. But those who truly understood what happened knew better.Even with Dustin's movement restricted and Lycas unleashing his strongest technique, he still pierced through the opening with near-impossible timing. That strike wasn't just lucky but masterful. It was a brutal display

Lycas gripped his broadsword with both hands and roared. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap.He sidestepped sharply and charged straight at Dustin like a raging bull.The heavy broadsword moved like it weighed nothing in his hands. He swung it with brutal speed. Each arc cut through the air with a sharp, whistling howl, as if it could slice through anything in its path.The broadsword came crashing down on Dustin with bone-crushing force, like a mountain falling from the sky.Lycas threw his full weight into the swing. As the sword descended, the force of the strike stirred up dust from the ground. It sent plumes of dirt in every direction.He knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent. If he wanted a chance to win, he had to make the first move and seize the initiative."Nice form," Dustin said.As Lycas launched a powerful, aggressive attack, Dustin remained calm and unruffled. With effortless grace, he sidestepped without the slightest rush. The broadsword whizz

Bryce knew Dustin was strong, but this was beyond anything he anticipated. Though he had gained the upper hand early on, Bryce still believed his skills matched Dustin's.From his observation, Dustin relied on martial arts techniques and hit-and-run tactics. Plus, he didn't dare to confront Bryce head-on.He had assumed that as long as he found an opening, he could exploit Dustin's weaknesses and defeat him. But when Dustin finally stopped holding back, Bryce realized how wrong he'd been.It turned out Dustin wasn't just playing hit-and-run tactics. Instead, he'd held back the entire time to spare Bryce from an embarrassing defeat.The moment Dustin stopped holding back, Bryce didn't stand a chance. Even without special techniques, Dustin's raw power, speed, and reflexes were enough to crush him.The difference in their abilities was staggering, so much so that no amount of skill could close the gap.And it wasn't just Bryce who was shocked. Except for Nathaniel, who had already

Bryce's request for a fight heated up the atmosphere.Soldiers around the training ground started murmuring among themselves."Lieutenant General Gantz is a legend in our ranks. His combat skills are no joke—he's taken down countless enemies on the battlefield. I haven't seen him in action in years," one young soldier said with awe."Yeah," a veteran agreed. "Lieutenant General Gantz has been through countless battles, and his strength is unmatched. If he steps in, Mr. Rhys might be in for a rough time."After the fight earlier, the soldiers knew firsthand that Dustin was no slouch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily defeated the five elite soldiers.But in their minds, no matter how skilled Dustin was, he stood no chance against Bryce.Bryce was a grandmaster not just in rank but in skill, physical strength, and battlefield experience. He was stronger than any expert from the martial world.Nathaniel had once recruited several grandmaster martial artists to spar with them, but

"Your Highness, the soldiers under me are trained solely in killing techniques. If they hurt your guest, things could get ugly," Lycas said.He didn't say it outright, but the message was clear. If Dustin wasn't strong enough, he'd better stay out of the way, or he was just asking for trouble.Bryce didn't say anything, but the look he gave Dustin was full of contempt. How could a pampered young man like Dustin measure up to soldiers who've been through the grind? He figured Dustin was probably some heir from a prominent family who knew Nathaniel and was trying to assert his relevance."You guys are blind to greatness when it's standing right in front of you." Nathaniel chuckled and shook his head. He added, "If any of you manage to land a hit on Mr. Rhys, I'll pay out a thousand gold. But honestly, I doubt any of you have what it takes."At the mention of rewards, the soldiers perked up. Their eyes lit up with excitement. They were practically itching to charge at Dustin and g

During the meal, Nathaniel arranged for two women to accompany Dustin.Throughout history, even the greatest heroes couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women. Sometimes, a woman of extraordinary beauty could be far more enticing than rare treasures or high status.Dustin remained composed. He neither showed any enthusiasm nor did he deliberately reject it.As for the women seated on either side of him, he treated them with polite respect. He enjoyed a drink and the easy conversation with them, but nothing beyond that.However, Nathaniel saw it differently. To him, it seemed that Dustin was unimpressed by the women at his side.Considering Dustin's background, it made sense. A woman of ordinary beauty would never catch his attention. Nathaniel realized he would need to pull out all the stops. Perhaps, it was time to bring out his most prized companion and see how Dustin responded.After the meal, he led Dustin to his mansion's training ground.The midday sun blazed overhead

"This…" Dustin began.He hesitated on purpose and didn't give an immediate answer.Upon seeing him deep in thought, Nathaniel was convinced that Dustin was weighing the pros and cons. He leaned in slightly, his smile widening with anticipation. "You should know how much the Dracan essence means to me," he said. "If I can gather all the essences, it’d be like fate is on my side. My path to the throne would be unstoppable—and when that time comes, your reward will be waiting."As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Dustin as he searched for any sign of hesitation in his expression.Dustin looked up and met his eyes. For a moment, something unreadable flickered in his gaze.He pressed his lips together and spoke slowly. "You're right, Your Highness. But it wasn't easy to find the Dracan essence. I went through quite a few twists and turns. Besides, if I give it to you, it might put me at odds with the other two princes."He paused deliberately and left the rest unsaid. Still, the concern
