An Understated Dominance Chapter 196
"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

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

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

"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
An Understated Dominance Chapter 203
The video on James' phone showed Dustin getting violent.First, he kicked James, then he pushed Florence aside, causing her to fall onto the floor and bang her head against the door.Finally, it ended with Dustin slapping James twice.The start and end of the video had been edited out, and there was no audio, only images.After watching it, Dahlia was frozen.She couldn't believe it before, but the video was right here; she had to believe it."Dahlia, you saw what happened, right? This is proof that he beat us! Mom is already getting old; she can't handle that piece of trash's beatings! We already went to the hospital to get checked out. The doctor said that her concussion is so severe that she might develop Alzheimer's disease! Not to mention, she even broke a few bones. She'll have trouble looking after herself in the future. Dahlia, do you still want to believe such a savage?!" James spat through gritted teeth, looking downtrodden and furious."Why? Why would he do that?" Dah

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

With a longsword in hand, Dustin plunged into the crowd like a tiger among sheep and cut down his enemies with brutal efficiency.Though he couldn't tap into his mystical energy, his physical strength far outstripped that of an average martial artist. His speed, power, reflexes, and combat skills crushed anyone in his path.Every swing of his blade was precise and targeted the enemy's vital spots with deadly accuracy, which left no room for defense.Under his relentless assault, the assassins were helpless. The air rang with their screams as bodies fell one after another.Unlike the tournament match, Dustin now unleashed his full power in this life-or-death fight. His attacks were becoming more brutal and relentless than ever."This kid's tougher than I thought." Hank frowned as he watched his men struggle.He hadn't expected Dustin to have such formidable combat prowess, even with his sealed cultivation. If an unmatched genius like Dustin couldn't be made an ally, he had to be e

"Step forward, and you're dead!" Facing the onslaught of desperate assassins, Dustin showed no mercy. With a swing of his long sword, a dazzling sword aura swept through the darkness like a crescent moon and briefly illuminated the night sky. The assassins only saw a flash of white light and instinctively stopped in their tracks. When the brilliance faded, those at the front stood frozen as if struck by a paralysis spell.A moment later, heads tumbled to the ground, like ripe fruit falling from a tree. The headless bodies stood upright for two seconds before collapsing, blood splattering everywhere.The gruesome sight shocked everyone. They exchanged uneasy glances and were hesitant to move forward. No one had anticipated Dustin's sword to be so fast that the fallen couldn't even defend themselves.The assassins who had just been killed were among the elites. Yet, none of them could block even a single strike. The difference in strength was clear."What are you standing aroun

The people who emerged from the fog wore masks that hid their faces, but each had the Hall of Gods emblem on their bodies. Among them was a small group led by Dustin.After sensing a battle nearby, Dustin had deliberately left his team behind to investigate alone. He hadn't expected another group to lead them out of the fog formation."What's going on? Why are there so many bodies scattered around?" "Looks like they ran into a strong enemy. Stay sharp, everyone!" The sight of scattered corpses put everyone on edge. Their eyes darted between Dustin and Aven."Dustin, what are you doing here alone?" The leader of the group recognized him immediately.The Hall of Gods had recruited several teams, each marked by different colored masks, with team leaders wearing a distinctive emblem."Hank?" Dustin narrowed his eyes as he recognized the voice. "What happened here?" Hank asked tentatively."I don't know. I just stepped out of the fog formation." Dustin shook his head."Really?"

Though Marcell was momentarily stunned, he still explained patiently, "This man is the guardian of the Forbidden Ground. If we kill him, we'll be able to take the treasure." He was gravely wounded and had to rely on Dustin to deal with Aven, so he needed to be persuasive."We can talk about the treasure later. Right now, it's time to settle some old scores." Dustin stretched out his hand, and the long sword on the ground shot up into his grasp."Settle old scores? What are you talking about?" Marcell blinked in confusion, especially when he saw the sword in Dustin's hand. A feeling of unease spread through him."You and that big guy planned to use me as bait. Then, you sent me into the fog to clear the way for you," Dustin said flatly. "Did you really think I didn't hear that? Since you want to harm me, don't blame me for being ruthless.""What… What are you going to do?" Marcell panicked. "We're both working for the Hall of Gods. There's no need for this kind of betrayal.

When the black death energy entered his body, Aven felt as if his entire being was being ripped apart. The pain was unbearable, as though a swarm of venomous insects was gnawing at him from the inside. It wasn't just his body that suffered, but his soul was being torn apart as well."Curse you! Get out of my body!" he roared in fury as he tried to force the black death energy out of his system.The death energy seemed to have burrowed deep into his bones. It was invasive and siphoned away his life force with every passing second. Even his internal energy was being drained to feed it. If this continued, he would be completely drained in less than three minutes."Won't leave, huh? Fine. We'll die together!" Aven's anger boiled over, and he went all out in his attack.He raised his hand, and dozens of Divine Talismans shot into the air to form a formation above his head. As it spun, a massive black thundercloud began to take shape. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled with terrifyin

The once frail Marcell began to undergo a rapid transformation. His muscles and bones grew at an astonishing pace. In the blink of an eye, his height jumped from five feet three inches to nearly six feet, and he kept growing.His once skeletal frame rapidly filled with dense muscle, and his skin stretched taut as if it might tear. His hunched back straightened, and his entire frame became incredibly imposing.Within just a few seconds, Marcell had transformed into a completely different person. Standing close to six feet five inches, his muscles bulged, his eyes burned with bloodlust, and he radiated a terrifying presence. If he had once been a frail wildcat, now he was a ruthless tiger.At that instant, Marcell was surrounded by swirling dark energy. His face twisted into a menacing and bloodthirsty expression. He looked like a demon straight out of hell."It is so delicious." Marcell licked his lips after absorbing the surrounding death energy and resentment.The Soul Abyss Tech

The poisoned needles zipped through the air with blinding speed. They were impossible to avoid, and each was aimed directly at vital points. One hit meant certain death."Hmph! What a simple parlor trick." The gray-robed elder, Aven Foyer, stood motionless. A sudden burst of golden light flared around him. The needles struck the light but bounced away, which left him completely unharmed."Glow Incantation?" Marcell seemed to have expected this. He smirked but didn't stop attacking. With a quick motion, his hands moved in rapid succession. A new wave of poison needles poured out like a torrential storm and swept toward Aven."Get him!" Marcell shouted as he signaled his men to attack.He knew well that the guardian of Sacred Wyrm Summit's forbidden ground wasn't someone he could take down alone. So, he had no choice but to overwhelm Aven with numbers."Kill him!"Without hesitation, the two groups of men drew their weapons and charged toward Aven in a coordinated assault. Pois
