An Understated Dominance Chapter 195
"What? Mr. Rhys?" Morgan had shock written all over his face.He had indeed received news that the developer of Immortunol, Mr. Rhys, would be present today, but he hadn't expected him to be so young!"N—no way! H—he's… He's Mr. Rhys?!" Mr. Marcs's eyes widened in disbelief. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that the person he had been bragging about being a tight buddy with was right there in front of him. This was bad. This was really bad. They were in deep trouble now."Mr. Rhys? Dustin Rhys?" Julie looked around in bewilderment. "They must be mistaken! The brilliant Mr. Rhys who developed Immortunol was Dustin? How is that possible?" She mused."What ability does this rascal possess to be able to come up with the prescription formula for Immortunol?" Matt felt astonished, which was soon taken over by jealousy. Immortunol was a precious drug that was able to bring in endless fortune! But how did such a treasure end up in the hands of such a worthless person? It was tru

"H—how could you order them to smack me?" Morgan cradled his face in his palms as disbelief consumed him."Not only did I get them to hit you, I'm throwing you out too! As of this moment, you are no longer vice president of the company!' Natasha said bluntly."Natasha Harmon! This is too much! I've slaved my ass off in the company all these years, and you're laying me off all because of this scoundrel? How easily you dismiss my effort and labor! Are you not afraid that this won't sit well with the rest of the employees?""What? Is that a threat? Do you think that you are in a position to threaten me?"Natasha laughed mockingly. "Let me be honest here. I'm not only going to fire you, but I'm also sending you to prison today! I have records of all your dirty deeds, which I'm sure are enough to keep you in there for a lifetime!""Natasha Harmon! How dare you! I have the support of your cousin, Quentin Harmon!" Morgan shouted loudly, though he was trembling within."Quentin Harmon? H

"Alright, alright. Let's put all those behind us and talk business, shall we?" Matt stepped in to smooth things over. "Dustin, let's be professional here. I'm really interested in the company's rights. Here's a million-dollar check. I'd like to buy an allocation for the rights.""A million dollars? Do you take me for a beggar?" Dustin found it ridiculous."Hey! Are you saying that a million dollars is too little? Aren't you getting greedy?" Julie protested indignantly. "Just because the Harmons' gave you a prescription formula, you think that you can flaunt your authority? You only have authority because you are affiliated with the Harmons!""Dustin, let's cut to the chase. Name your price; how much will it take for you to give me the company rights?" Matt tried his best to stay calm."No amount of money will be able to get you that. A person of your character is simply not qualified to obtain the company rights for Immortunol," Dustin flat-out rejected him."What? You're rejectin

An hour later, James burst into the Nicholson manor hurriedly. "Mom! I've got bad news! Julie's in big trouble!""Trouble? What trouble?" Florence was enjoying her tea and responded slowly."Matt just called to tell me that Julie's been sent to jail!" That was a shocking piece of news."What?" Florence sat bolt upright when she heard that. "How did that happen? Why would Julie suddenly be locked up?""Matt said that Julie went to the Harmons' to buy something called Immortunol, and she got into some sort of conflict with Dustin. Somehow, Julie ended up detained for stealing drugs," James explained."Stealing drugs? No! That's impossible! Julie might be spoiled, but she would never commit theft!" As Florence spoke, she suddenly seemed to catch an important piece of information. "Hang on, did you just say that Julie had a conflict with Dustin, which was why she got caught? Could it be possible that the worthless piece of trash pulled a dirty trick on her?""That's right! That's wha
An Understated Dominance Chapter 199
At noon, after settling the issue with the dealer, Dustin returned to Peaceful Medical Center.However, as soon as he walked in, he realized that there was an additional person there—an 18-year-old girl with a sweet face.Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was dressed casually. She was cleaning the medical center, and sweat poured down her face from how hard she was working.Meanwhile, Gregory was passed out on a recliner, snoring in his sleep. He was covered in a blanket, which was rare."Mr. Rhys, you're back?" When the girl saw Dustin, she immediately stood up straight and greeted him, looking nervous."Who are you?" Dustin found the situation rather strange."I'm Caitlyn Lawler. Ms. Harmon sent me here to take care of Mr. Jones," the girl replied, nodding her head in greeting."A—are you of age?" Dustin was a little taken aback. He thought Natasha was going to send a middle-aged housekeeper, not a young teenager."I am! I'm already 18 years old!" Caitlyn nodded her he
An Understated Dominance Chapter 200
Dustin knew that Caitlyn deeply lacked a sense of security.If he asked her not to do anything, she would feel even more lost.At that moment, his phone rang.When he picked up the phone, he heard an unfamiliar voice. "Hello, is this Mr. Rhys? I'm the new chief inspector from the investigation bureau, Aspen Cruiser.""Oh, it's you, Chief Cruiser. Is something the matter?" Dustin was surprised."Here's the deal. We just arrested a suspect named Julie Amberson. According to our investigation, she was your sister-in-law, and she's involved in the theft of Immortunol. I wanted to ask if you wanted to take her case?" Aspen asked tentatively."It's fine. This has nothing to do with her," Dustin replied.Although he didn't like Julie, he wouldn't stoop so low as to use his power for his personal revenge and send her to jail."Alright, I know what to do now. Enjoy your day, Mr. Rhys."Dustin said nothing as he hung up. Then, he took out an ancient text and began to leaf through it.I
An Understated Dominance Chapter 201
"James, I'm giving you three seconds to apologize to Caitlyn!"Dustin slowly got to his feet, his expression dark."Apologize? Who the fuck do you think you are? As if I'm going to apologize just because you asked me to. Not to mention, isn't she just a stupid bitch? So what if I hit her? What are you doing to do about it? If you're going to keep yapping at me, I might even hit you too!" James yelled; his expression was ferocious."You dimwitted fool!" Dustin snorted humorlessly, launching a kick at James' abdomen.The latter let out a pained cry as he flew a few feet backward. His entire body was curled up into a ball as he rolled backward.At first, Florence was utterly dumbfounded. Then, her eyes flared with rage, screaming as she pounced at him, "How dare you hit my son?! You ruthless animal, I'm going to teach you a lesson!" She started to scratch and hit him, throwing out moves like it was a catfight."Get off!"Dustin's body shook, and an invisible force pushed Florence
An Understated Dominance Chapter 202
Dustin finally let out the grievances that he had bottled up for a long time."You ... That's bullshit!" Florence did not believe it in the slightest. Her tone grew even shriller as she screamed, "As if you had the capability to help us! My daughter's achievements today are all thanks to her own excellence! It has nothing to do with you! Also, don't think you're all that. You had to rely on a woman to climb your way up to where you are today! If Ms. Harmon hadn't protected you, the Hummers would have slaughtered you long ago! So don't feel too happy now. Ms. Harmon will kick a useless gigolo like you to the curb sooner or later. And when the time comes, you'll become the public enemy!"Hearing these words, Dustin simply shook his head and laughed.Sure enough, there was no point in saying all those things. These people wouldn't believe it at all.In the Nicholson family's eyes, he had always been nothing but an incompetent average Joe.Of course, he didn't care."Alright, I don

Chapter 2513
Mulder knew Warrick had been on the battlefield for years, and his physical strength was unmatched. On top of that, he was already halfway to becoming an ultimate grandmaster. Even if Warrick couldn't defeat the prodigious Logan, Mulder figured the difference wouldn't be too big. But he never expected Logan to take down Warrick with a single finger, leaving him severely injured and unable to stand. The difference in their strength was far beyond anything Mulder could have imagined.In other words, Logan had been toying with them from the start and didn't take the fight seriously. If he had, they would've all been dead.Warrick clutched his chest and coughed up blood as he staggered to his feet. His chest was a charred ruin, the flesh torn open and slick with blood. It was an awful, gory mess."I didn't expect you to be this strong. I underestimated you," he growled.He slowly raised his head, and his face twisted with a menacing look. "Guess I was just unlucky to fall into your
Chapter 2512
"Oh? You guessed it?" Dustin smirked. "Now that you know who I am, it's up to you to decide what to do."If Warrick chose to surrender, Dustin would simply seal his pressure points and leave him to Austin's judgment. But if he resisted, Dustin wouldn't hesitate to cripple him."Haven't you given up your title as the prince? Why did you return? Are you going to compete with Austin for the throne?" Warrick asked.Uncertainty flickered across his face before he continued, "If that's your intention, I can help you. Spare me today, and I guarantee you'll become the next Prince of West Lucozia."Power was a tempting beast. History was filled with stories of brothers turning against each other and fathers murdering their sons for it.In Warrick's mind, Logan's quiet return to West Lucozia meant one thing—he was after the throne."Guarantee?" Dustin scoffed. "What guarantee are you offering?" His voice was dripping with disdain. "You're a cornered rat now. You're barely holding on to you
Chapter 2511
"Warrick's blade technique is terrifying," Mulder mumbled. "This should be the finishing blow, right?"Watching from a distance, he was awestruck by the dazzling blade aura. Only now did he truly grasp the sheer gulf between Warrick and Dustin.Warrick's strike descended with such overwhelming force that it seemed to split the earth and obliterate everything in its path. Even from 300 feet away, the pressure rolling off it sent a chill down Mulder's spine.Under Mulder's stunned gaze, Warrick brought his full weight down, with blade and body merging into a single force that swallowed Dustin whole.The instant they clashed, an incandescent explosion of light erupted. It was so blinding that Mulder couldn't even open his eyes.A split second later, a deafening blast erupted, and a shockwave shot outward like a tidal surge. The force flattened the waves and overturned several fishing boats docked at the pier.Even Mulder, more than 300 feet away, was caught in the blast and tumbled
Chapter 2510
"So what if I am? And what if I push even further?" Dustin's smile slowly faded. "If you don't like it, do something about it."There was no reasoning with tyrants like Warrick."Punk, are you really willing to risk your life against me? Have you ever considered what happens if you lose?" Warrick's face turned grim as a wave of killing intent spread from him.He had already taken a step back to avoid unnecessary trouble. If Dustin refused to back down, there was no choice but to fight."Cut the crap. You wanna fight, fight." Dustin didn't bother with more words. With a flick of his wrist, a silver needle shot out and aimed toward Warrick's forehead—silent, unassuming, but deadly."Hmm?" Warrick's brow furrowed as he instinctively raised his arm. Sparks flew as the needle deflected off his arm and buried into the ground."Oh? You've mastered the Adamantine Body Technique?" Dustin narrowed his eyes. At that instant, he saw through Warrick's technique. Not only was he halfway

Mulder's body trembled, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. His energy drained, and his entire being seemed to collapse.Dustin's finger flick had not only shattered his sword but also injured his internal organs. With the effects of the enhanced serum wearing off, Mulder was now back to his original state and completely spent.His once-powerful frame now shrank like a punctured balloon. He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant. Mulder could no longer fight. Even standing up was a challenge."He's finished," Dustin said coolly, then looked at Warrick. "Now it's your turn.""Hmm?" Warrick frowned, and his expression turned serious.Dustin's display of strength earlier had made him feel a sense of crisis. If they fought head-on, there was no telling who would come out on top.But Warrick was just one step away from escaping West Lucozia, bound for Artea and a life of freedom and luxury. He had no intention of risking his life in battle unless he absolutely
Chapter 2508
"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
Chapter 2507
"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
Chapter 2506
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
