An Understated Dominance Chapter 347
Dahlia shook her head fervently with a bewildered expression. "Mr. Langford, we'd be more than thankful if you didn't find any faults with us. We would never dare blame you for anything!""Exactly! Please get up, Mr. Langford. Look at you! You're bleeding so much! I'll go get you a Band-Aid!" Florence quickly went into the bedroom to get the first-aid kit."A Band-Aid?" Luis could not believe his ears. He'd severed two of his fingers, for goodness sake! What use did he have for Band-Aids?"Why don't you go to the hospital, Mr. Langford? Your bleeding doesn't seem to be stopping," Dahlia suggested cautiously."Have you forgiven me, Ms. Nicholson?" Luis asked expectantly."I guess so. As long as you don't come and bother me anymore, you're forgiven." Dahlia nodded."No problem at all! I'll make myself scarce now and never bother you again!" Luis was elated. He nodded at both Dustin and Dahlia as a sign of apology before he made a run for it with his men in tow."Hey, Mr. Langford! Your B

"Wha—" Dustin's smile immediately dropped from his face the moment he saw who it was that came in through the door. His smile was replaced by hostility. "Who let you in? Get out!""Don't be mistaken, I'm just here to see my daughter-in-law. This has nothing to do with you." Rufus chuckled merrily as he hobbled in through the door."Do you—do you know each other?" Dahlia looked from one to the other, perplexed."You're Dahlia, aren't you? As expected, what a beauty!" Rufus beamed brightly. "Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Dustin's father, your father-in-law.""Dustin's father?" Dahlia was taken aback by the piece of information. Though there wasn't exactly anything special about Dustin, he had exceptionally good looks. He was a fine specimen of a man if anything. However, this old man before her was the farthest thing from handsome. The two were vastly different in the looks department."What? We don't look alike?" Rufus chuckled nonchalantly. "This lad looks like his mom, s

"Lunch is ready!" Florence had quickly whipped up a lavish meal, and every dish looked sumptuous.Dustin had been prepared to make an excuse and slip away but was stopped by Dahlia. In the end, he had no choice but to stay for the meal with Rufus. It was the first time the father and son pair had had a meal together at the same table. As they ate, Rufus' eyes gradually welled up with tears. It felt like it'd been a lifetime for him, but the day finally came when he could sit down and have a meal with his son. He had yet to receive his son's forgiveness, but what he had now was good enough. He was already very satisfied. Of course, many people out there would never believe that the ruthless and formidable Prince of Theswe would get teary-eyed over a meal.Once he had his fill, Rufus tactfully took his leave. He knew that if he stayed on any longer, his son would most likely lose his temper.Rufus left the Nicholson Villa with a spring in his step."How did things go, Sir?" When he got

Dahlia was genuinely curious about Dustin's past. After getting to know him better these days, she found that he was indeed a mystery."It's a long story." Dustin shook his head."Alright, I'll be here whenever you feel like talking about it." Dahlia gave him a warm smile."Sure." Dustin nodded."It's getting colder these days. Let's go to the mall to get some new clothes for winter," Dahlia suggested."Sure, we can get some new clothes, but I'll have you know, I'm broke!" Dustin shrugged."Ugh! What a miser!" Dahlia rolled her eyes. "I'll pay for everything today. Will that do?""Why, thank you, Ms. Nicholson!" Without another word, Dustin hurried off to bring the car over. It's been three years since they got married, but they rarely went out shopping together.The moment they left, Florence immediately took out the sapphire and had a good look at it. "Oh, my precious honeybunch of a sapphire! What luck I'm in today!" The more she studied it, the more she loved it."Aunt Florence, w

That evening at Peaceful Medical Center, Natasha waltzed in through the doors happily with two bottles of wine in her hand. "Honey, I'm back! Look what I brought! These are aged wines, I'm sure you'll love them!" All of a sudden, the smile on her face froze as she noticed that not only was Dustin not inside, but there were also two strangers in there instead. Gregory, who was usually in a drunken stupor, now sat upright with a stern expression on his face. How peculiar."Mr. Jones, who are they?" Natasha's curiosity was piqued."You're back, lass? Here, let me introduce them. This one here is Dustin's father, and this one is an old pal of mine." Gregory gestured to Rufus and Albert, respectively, as he introduced them to Natasha."Dustin's father?" Natasha's eyes lit up. "Oh, so my father-in-law is here! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you!" As she spoke, she immediately got up and poured them each a cup of tea. Then, she smiled sweetly and said to Rufus, "Please have some tea, Father!"

"Natasha, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, I'll treat you to dinner." Dustin did not answer her and changed the topic instead."Now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit hungry. Father, shall we go grab a bite?" Natasha turned around to ask Rufus."Don't worry about them. We'll go get dinner, just the two of us," Dustin insisted."Well …" Natasha paused. She could sense that something was off between the two."Natasha, go ahead and enjoy your meal together. We, old folks, won't tag along and ruin your fun. Run along now." Rufus smiled and nodded at her."Alright, Father. We'll be quick and buy some food back for you." Natasha did not try to pry further. After she made sure they were alright, she left with Dustin.All was quiet in the car before Natasha broke the silence. "Your father … Did you have a fallout with him?""A fallout?" Dustin laughed dryly. "If only it was that simple, things would be much easier.""So then what is it? Can you tell me?" Natasha coaxed softl

The old lady stood frozen in place as she watched the Eight Giants crash to the ground with dull thuds, one after another. All the calmness and confidence she had earlier on had completely vanished into thin air and were instead replaced by downright fear. Those were the Eight Giants! They were renowned bounty hunters who had yet to fail before this! Ever since they set foot in the field, they had been revered by all and had never missed a single target. No matter how great their opponents were, they had been able to wipe them out without breaking a sweat. She had thought that with the Eight Giants working alongside her, everything would have gone smoothly without any hiccups. Who would have guessed that they'd be defeated in a matter of seconds? They did not even have time to react! What freak of nature was this man standing before her?"Those are the Eight Giants that you've been harping on about? Pretty weak, aren't they?" Dustin shook his head. How dare mere mortals who had yet to

Amid a fierce battle between two divine-level masters, ordinary warriors would never stand a chance to approach them.While the battle was in full swing, Rufus, Gregory, and Albert were happily drinking inside the medical clinic.Used to such chaotic scenes, they naturally paid no mind to such minor scuffles.On the other hand, Caitlyn, who was pouring them drinks, wasn't as calm as them. She anxiously peered through the doorway, her worries evident.How could Maximus handle all the opponents alone?"Only if Mr. Rhys was here." As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Caitlyn immediately shook her head.No!Those people were here for Dustin. If Dustin were here, things would only get more dangerous!"Kid, stop fretting over there. That lad will be fine for now. Bring us another bottle of wine!" Gregory shouted."Alright. I'm coming ..." Upon hearing his words, Caitlyn promptly retrieved another bottle of wine from the counter.Observing the calm demeanor of the three men, sh

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

"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

"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

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

"You're not a fisherman? Who the hell are you?"Mulder's guard shot up the moment he got a clear look at the young man's face.Fishermen who spent their days at sea were usually tanned from the sun, but this one had a fair complexion. It felt a little strangeNoticing something was off, the men behind Mulder drew their blades and fixed their sharp gazes on the fisherman.The so-called fisherman standing guard wasn't just anyone—it was Dustin, who had been waiting for them all along.Since his plan was set in motion, he'd been stationed there from morning until midnight. After what felt like an eternity, his targets had finally arrived."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to capture you."Dustin rose from the deck and rolled his shoulders before speaking in an even tone. "If you don't want to die, surrender now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.""Watch out! It could be an ambush." Mulder swiftly pulled out his dagger. His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings for any sign of hidden troops.

As night fell, Warrick sat motionless in his room as he tried to calm his mind through meditation. He had always been able to clear his mind with ease. But tonight, no matter how hard he tried, focus eluded him. A restless unease settled over him and refused to let him relax.Nearly two hours passed before Mulder's scouts finally returned. This time, they brought good news.The smuggling route they had scouted was completely safe, with no signs of an ambush. The West Lucozia army had yet to discover this potential escape route.Once everything was confirmed, Mulder let out a breath of relief. Warrick, too, finally felt the weight lift from his chest."Since the route is safe, we should set out immediately to avoid any unexpected complications." Warrick said. He had no intention of waiting any longer. He was a wanted man, and every moment in West Lucozia increased his chances of capture. There was no telling when the army might surround him. Only by escaping to Thaloria would he

After a hearty meal, the burly Warrick sprawled lazily onto the bed and dozed off. He slept soundly till dusk, lost in a deep dream. When the sky was painted in brilliant hues of the setting sun, only then did he wake up leisurely.The exhaustion from the previous day seemed to have melted away. He felt invigorated, refreshed, and in high spirits.At that moment, Leigh had already set the table in the hall with quiet efficiency. Compared to the first meal, this spread was far more lavish.At the center of the table sat a whole roasted pig. Its golden-brown skin glistened with a rich, crispy sheen. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making it impossible not to crave a bite.Warrick had never been one for formalities. The moment he saw the feast, he didn't hesitate. He strode over, took a seat, and started digging in. He ate with zero restraint without sparing a single thought for Mulder, who was still out gathering intel.After a while, half of the roast pig was gone. His fac

"Who is it?" Warrick's grip tightened around the hilt of his steel blade. His eyes, sharp and alert, were like those of a startled predator—full of caution and menace.For the past few days, he had been on edge, like a cornered animal. He barely slept and was constantly on high alert, fearing danger would strike at any moment.The door slowly creaked open. An elderly man with gray hair stepped inside with a tray of fruit and pastries in both hands.Before he could even register what was happening, a flash of cold steel appeared, and Warrick's blade was at the elderly man's throat.The elderly man trembled with fear. The tray slipped from his grasp, and fruit and pastries scattered on the floor."Easy, Sir Prescott. He's one of us." Mulder stepped forward and pressed down on the flat of Warrick's blade with a finger. He smiled and explained, "His name's Leigh Houston. He's mute and has served the Hall of Gods for years. He keeps watch over this tunnel entrance and has never slipp
