An Understated Dominance Chapter 1611
Eleanor and Elena gulped nervously. They fixed their gazes on the spot where the strange noise came from the ruins. They feared that Dustin would suddenly pop up from it.If that happened, it would be way too scary.After staring at it for a while, they let out a sigh of relief after confirming that nothing happened. They felt completely relaxed at this point."It looks like we're overthinking. Nobody can withstand such a strong attack. I'm sure Dustin is already smashed to bits." Eleanor wiped the sweat off her forehead."That's right! Even someone made from iron couldn't have survived!" Elena quickly nodded.The noise just now must have been something else.Otherwise, there was no way Dustin wouldn't have died. Fenley's attack was terribly strong, after all.In the end, the duo was just giving themselves a scare.Fenley also secretly let out a breath. Honestly, he was also shocked by the strange noise just now. He was thankful that Dustin was not alive. Otherwise, it would be

"You … Who are you?"Fenley furrowed his brow, his expression grim.Although Dustin looked a bit haggard in his battered clothing, there was not a single injury on him.Most importantly, Dustin was breathing normally and looked refreshed. It seemed as if he got more and more energetic after fighting.It was extremely terrifying!"Huh?"At this moment, Fenley spotted something and widened his eyes.Through Dustin's battered clothing, Fenley discovered in shock that Dustin had a Kirin tattoo.The Kirin was black, causing its red eyes to stand out. It emitted an eerie light under the moonlight.It was even more terrifying that Fenley felt an uncontrollable sense of fear when he looked into the Kirin's eyes.It was a kind of domination that originated from the depths of the soul. One would find it mysterious and difficult to resist."When Kirin appears, all other animals have to bow down to him. Are you perhaps Kirin, Logan Rhys?" Fenley asked after pausing for a moment. He ha
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1613
"No way … This isn't possible!""Logan is such an outstanding martial artist. How can Dustin be compared to him? It must be a coincidence!"Eleanor couldn't believe this.She had known Dustin for some while. To her, Dustin was a low-life. Thus, there was no way he would suddenly become the unparalleled Kirin.It was simply improbable!"You must have gotten it wrong. A Kirin tattoo doesn't symbolize anything. Anyone could tattoo this on their chest. Perhaps Dustin only got this tattoo to scare us off!"After a moment of shock, Elena also looked suspicious.Nobody knew Dustin better than her. When she first met him in Millsburg, Rosaline and Florence described Dustin as an absolute loser. The most he knew was a bit of fighting.Dustin was completely out of the unbeatable Kirin's league.Looking at the battered clothing that revealed his tattoo, Dustin couldn't help but let out a sigh.He didn't expect that a small mistake on his part would expose his identity. It seemed there w

"There's no time better than the present. Let's do it tonight!" Fenley was ready for battle. As he spoke, he suddenly took a deep breath. A huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed in from all directions and flowed into him continuously.Soon afterward, Fenley suddenly appeared bigger, more terrifying, and more shocking. His black eyes suddenly became white, all his hair stood on its end, and his clothes flapped loudly in the wind. Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed around him without stopping.In the next moment, Fenley's feet suddenly lifted off the ground as he levitated. He looked like a celestial being and a devil at the same time. He appeared very prideful and impressive. Even though the battle hadn't started, his presence was domineering, and it left everyone breathless. At this moment, all those present had the sudden urge to get on their knees to worship him. They felt the reverence for him deep within their beings. It was as if Fenley was no

"Oh wow! Isn't he Adam Spanner, the God of Military? What is he doing here?""Fuck! It really is the God of Military! This is going to be good!""Oh my! The God of Military is so handsome! He looks so much better in person!"The sudden appearance of Adam Spanner caused a stir in the crowd. Some young women even appeared lovesick as their eyes shone with admiration.Dragonmarsh had four Gods of War but had only one God of Military. The God of Military was someone who was brave and visionary. He was also well-versed in literary works and martial arts.In addition to being above everyone in courage and martial arts, Adam Spanner was a highly intelligent person. The most important point was that he had a face that could captivate the attention of most women. In terms of popularity, Adam Spanner was definitely at the top in Dragonmarsh. There would always be a huge uproar wherever he went."Fenley Hudson, it's about time to stop. Don't you have anything else to do? Why are you her

It was just that this opportunity was hard to come by, and Fenley really didn't want to miss it. "Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you for bullying the weak?" Fenley tried to upset him on purpose."You may abide by the rules of the martial world, but I live by the rules at the frontline. You're used to individual fights, and I respect that. "However, we're used to fighting in groups. Don't you think you should show some respect to us as well?" Adam asked matter-of-factly. "You … You're so unreasonable!" Fenley was angry. Adam clearly lacked sportsmanship, yet he spoke in such a confident manner. He had never seen someone so shameless."Alright, alright. Stop yapping. If you want to fight, let's fight. If not, just leave. Don't waste my time." Adam was getting a little impatient.His little speech successfully provoked Fenley to the point where he almost lost his composure. For someone who was inarticulate, he knew very well that it wouldn't do him any good if he contin

"Huh?" Elena shivered and almost peed her pants when she saw Dustin's eerie smile.When she regained her composure, she quickly begged for forgiveness, "Dus … Dustin, please, can we talk about this? It was all a huge misunderstanding. Are you upset? We can certainly talk it over.""Give me a reason not to kill both of you?" Dustin inched closer with a killer gaze."Reason? The reason is … keeping us alive is beneficial to you too!" Elena racked her brain and found an answer. She continued, "Didn't you want half of our inheritance? We'll agree to all your requests. As long as you don't kill me, we'll agree to anything.""Too late." Dustin shook his head. "If you had come to this realization earlier, I might have considered letting you live. However, I realized that both of you are very stubborn, and you are better off dead!""Dustin, it's our fault. I know it's all our fault now!" Elena was flabbergasted, tugging at Eleanor's sleeve for support. "Eleanor, quick, say something! If

"You really wouldn't budge even in the face of death," Dustin said sarcastically, "Do you think I'm afraid of Anders Mosey? If I was, why would I kill Scott Mosey?"Eleanor was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the spot upon hearing that. She had almost forgotten about it. Dustin had the guts to kill even Scott Mosey. Why would he hesitate to kill them? This guy was just really crazy."That's enough. I don't want to waste my time on any of you. You'll eventually spill when you go to prison," Dustin said calmly."Take them away." Adam gestured toward his female assistants. When they received his order, they dragged Eleanor and Elena away and were ready to leave in the car."No! I don't want to go to prison! Dustin, please let me go! I know that I'm wrong now! I will serve you, is that alright? I will always obey you and do whatever you ask me to. Please!" Elena was really afraid. She was howling and begging with tears streaming down her face. Now, the Forrest family was in deep wa

The next morning, Nathaniel was inside a lavish mansion. He was in his study, flipping through an ancient manuscript. One of his most trusted aides hurried in and lowered his voice, "Your Royal Highness, word just came in. Another trace of Dracan essence has been found."Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and closed the manuscript. "Where?""Our investigation shows it ended up in the hands of Logan Rhys," the aide replied."Logan Rhys?" Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly and was surprised by the name.He had tried to win Logan over before and spared no expense, but never received a response. Later, he discovered that Tristan and Matthias had done the same.Fortunately, Logan still hadn't picked a side. He might be holding out for the best offer, but at least he hadn't shut the door on Nathaniel.With the Dracan essence in his hands, Logan had become an even more valuable target. In addition to the West Lucozian monarchy, Logan was an ultimate grandmaster, which made him worth recrui

"Give me a moment to think," Dustin said.Grace's words sent him into deep thought.After all, carrying the fate of Dragonmarsh was no small burden. First, he had to be tough enough to handle it. Then, he needed the resolve to accept what came with it. Once he carried that burden, it meant taking on a heavyweight.He used to act on his own terms and do things as he pleased without worrying too much about the consequences. But once the nation's fate was involved, everything changed.Not that he had many options.Dustin could either hide in Sacred Wrym Summit and hope Arion would protect him, or take a risk and absorb the Dragonmarsh's fate to push through his cultivation's bottleneck. Between the two, he was leaning toward the latter."I can give your plan a shot," Dustin said suddenly. "But we're still missing a piece of the Dracan essence. If we're doing this, we need to find that last one first."Only once all five pieces of Dracan essence were united could he truly wield the

"Royal gods? And two of them?" Dustin frowned at the news.His battle with Poseidon in West Lucozia had shown him firsthand that the Hall of Gods didn't send weaklings into the field.One royal god had already pushed him to his limit. If two came at him together, winning wasn't even the question. He'd be lucky just to make it out alive."That's right," Grace said solemnly. "The royal gods, Zeus and Hera, have crossed the border. They're even stronger than Poseidon. If they ambush you together, your chances are slim."She knew Dustin was strong, but he was still young. Moreover, Zeus and Hera weren't just anyone. They were world-class powerhouses. Surviving a fight with them would be next to impossible.The Hall of Gods had probably figured out how dangerous Dustin could become. If they had given him a few more years to grow, they might not have been able to stop him."Well, that complicates things." Dustin rested his chin in one hand with a thoughtful expression.Two royal god

Soluna Hall had one rule—they wouldn't accept unfamiliar customers. They only served those they knew well or people introduced by someone they trusted. Every transaction required an appointment. Exceptions were made for urgent matters, but those came with an additional fee.When Dustin reached the entrance, two security guards stopped him. After stating his name and being verified by the guards, they let him through.Inside, a female attendant with a pleasant smile greeted him and led him across the main hall straight into the back garden. They passed a small fish pond and stopped in front of a secluded private room."This is Ms. Linsor's private reception area. Mr. Rhys, please come in," the female attendant said with a smile."She's not here?" Dustin asked curiously."She had something come up, but she'll be here soon. Please make yourself comfortable," the attendant said, still smiling."Alright then." He nodded and walked into the room.The room was spacious, with a vintag

"You're wrong, Tristan," Matthias said with a meaningful look.He continued, "Sure, I've got the Moseys to back me, but I'm still far from securing the throne. Nathaniel's got strong backing too, and this won't be an easy win. But if you were to support me, I'd say my chances shoot up to 80%."In his eyes, Tristan's support was worth more than the Ballard family.If he could win Tristan over, his odds would jump from 60% to nearly 80%. The only question now was whether Tristan would be willing to shelve his own ambitions and place his bet on Matthias."You know me, Matthias. I've never been one for ambition or glory. This kind of power struggle just isn't for me. I hope you can understand that," Tristan said.After thinking about it thoroughly, he finally turned his brother down. He knew his chances of winning were slim, yet he couldn't let go.Tristan was the eldest legitimate son, the rightful and undisputed heir to the throne. Aside from his poor health, he had no real shortco

Tristan, Matthias, and Nathaniel weren't fools. They understood the unspoken message loud and clear.Their purpose for this trip was to take advantage of the opportunity to offer their condolences and win the Ballard family's support. Should it work, all the better. If not, they'd at least make a good impression. The key was that as long as the Ballard family didn't pick a side or turn against them, there was still room to make things work. No need to rush into anything.Tristan spoke first. "You're being too kind, Duke of Lachshire. We've always admired Mr. Jovian's loyalty and courage. We're simply here to pay our respects—nothing more."Matthias added, "That's right. Your family has a lot to deal with right now. Plus, you're not as young as you used to be, so don't wear yourself out over this. We won't take up more of your time today."He gave a respectful nod, then turned to leave."Duke—"Nathaniel opened his mouth to speak, but Tristan interrupted. "That's enough, Nathani

"Oh? I didn't expect both of you to be here," Nathaniel said.He was just about to pay his respects when he spotted Tristan and Matthias inside the mourning hall. He gave a respectful nod and said, "Hello, Tristan, Matthias."Truthfully, he wasn't surprised. He had already guessed they would show up.The four ancient houses and the eight great families were all key players he needed on his side. And with the Ballard family still undecided, he wasn't about to miss the chance to make an impression."I heard you left Oakvale on official business. Funny how quickly you came back," Tristan said, his tone laced with meaning."It wasn't anything important. When I heard about Mr. Jovian's passing, I returned immediately. I wanted to pay my respects in person," Nathaniel answered smoothly, without missing a beat.He brushed off Tristan's subtle jab and used the moment to show the Ballard family he was genuinely there to pay his respects."Don't just stand there, Nathaniel. Go pay your re

"Your Royal Highness, it's an honor to have you here," Jonathan said.Upon seeing the distinguished guest arrive, he quickly pulled himself together and aside his grief. He led his family to greet Tristan, and they bowed in respect.Before they could finish the gesture, Tristan raised a hand to stop them. "No need for such formalities," he said. "The deceased deserves our respect."He turned to Jovian's portrait, which was displayed in the mourning hall, and sighed deeply.Tristan continued, "Mr. Jovian's untimely passing is truly a great loss to Dragonmarsh. May his soul rest in peace. My condolences to your family during this difficult time."Jonathan's eyes were filled with tears as he bowed his head slightly. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words. My family is heartbroken over my brother's tragic death."Tristan nodded slightly. His gaze quickly swept across the hall before asking, "I've heard that Duke Lachshire fainted from grief. How is he doing now?"Jonathan

The unrest in West Lucozia finally ended with the capture of Warrick.Every official who was his accomplice was thoroughly investigated. Those who needed to be arrested were taken into custody, and those who deserved to be punished were executed.After the purge, more than 300 officials in West Lucozia were removed from their posts. Those guilty were arrested, and those whose crimes were severe were executed.Under Austin's iron-fisted reforms, West Lucozia's government underwent a complete overhaul. Corruption, bribery, and the tangled web of illegal deals were swept away like dust in the wind.The citizens quickly noticed the difference. When they visited government offices, they no longer faced delays, refusals, or demands for bribes.Long-neglected public issues began to move forward, thanks to the organized efforts of newly appointed officials. Things were improving across the board.Instead of fearing the crackdown, the citizens welcomed it. The corrupt officials who had dr
