An Understated Dominance Chapter 354
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
An Understated Dominance Chapter 355
"Go to hell!" Noticing an opening, Keane immediately seized the opportunity and fiercely swung his sword down.At that moment, a silver needle suddenly appeared, flew past the crowd, and struck Keane's sword."Clang!" With a clang, Kaene's long sword shattered."What? Who the hell did that?" Keane quickly retreated and had his guard up. The fact that someone could use the needles as a weapon and break his sword demonstrated the profound internal energy of the assailant."To bully the weak with strength is one thing, but resorting to sneak attacks as well? Are all the people from Boulderthorn so despicable?" A cold voice came from behind.Everyone turned around and saw a handsome man slowly walking out of the shadows. He then stood tall under a street lamp.It was none other than Dustin, who had just arrived!"Sir Lincoln, that's the guy! That's Dustin! He's the one who murdered Tatum's nephew!"Seeing the newcomer, Luther immediately roared, "Kill him! Kill him quickly! We mu

Displaying a perfect balance between offense and defense, the seven individuals worked together seamlessly. They complemented each other with no discernible flaws.As the formation came into motion, the sharp, sword-like aura was formed and ran rampant instantly. A swirling gust of wind sent the sand and stones flying."Interesting." Dustin frowned. His figure flickered as he dodged. He moved like a fish swimming in the water, constantly evading attacks within the sea of swords.It seemed dangerous, yet he managed to dodge every strike at critical moments. The sharp, sword-like aura grazed his body, but it couldn't harm him in the slightest.Brody and Oliver clenched their fists, their expressions filled with excitement.They would loudly cheer whenever Dustin seemed to be in danger. However, they gritted their teeth with hatred when they saw him narrowly escape."Calm down. The Big Dipper Array grows more powerful as it faces stronger opponents. Once the offensive is in full swi
An Understated Dominance Chapter 357
As they looked at the six corpses on the ground and Keane, who was heavily injured and coughed up blood, all the disciples of Boulderthorn were dumbfounded.They never expected Dustin would break the Big Dipper Array and simultaneously kill six top-notch experts from Royal Valor with just one sword.Was their opponent hiding his true strength all along?"How ... How is this possible?" Luther widened his eyes in disbelief.Dustin actually broke the renowned Big Dipper Array. Not to mention, he did it so effortlessly.Just how powerful was this guy?"No way! The seven top experts of Royal Valor couldn't defeat him?""This guy must be on some kind of drug; otherwise, how could he be so powerful?"Brody and Oliver exchanged glances, their faces full of confusion."This guy is on a different level!" Even Clement's face turned grave at that moment.Dustin wiped out the Big Dipper Array so effortlessly. Not to mention he only used a sword!From that incident, it could well be said

He slapped two of the guys hard on the head.Two loud bangs rang out the next second, and their heads exploded like watermelons.The remaining two individuals instinctively tried to step back, but the blond man caught them and crushed their skulls with his bare hands.It was bloody, cruel, and savage. Onlookers felt their scalps tingling with horror."Attack together! Kill him!" Clement's face darkened. He immediately ordered his disciples to take action."Attack!" Over a hundred disciples of Royal Valor shouted angrily and launched a coordinated assault.Grinning, the blond man slightly bent his legs and jumped off the ground."Boom!" The ground exploded, and a pit formed.Like a bullet fired from a gun, the blond man directly landed in the crowd.Wherever he went, bodies were strewn across the ground, drenched in blood. Anyone blocking his path was brutally crushed by his unstoppable force!"Hahaha ..." The blond man laughed wildly, growing more excited as he killed the dis

"Dad, what's going on? Why is the God of War from the Hall of Gods here?""Could Sir Lincoln have crossed some big shot from the Hall of Gods?" Both Oliver and Brody cowered in fear when they saw the man with blonde hair who was brimming with a murderous air. "How the fuck would I know? Why are you even asking me?" Luther gulped nervously and chided them. They had been there to ambush Dustin and had never expected to be assaulted by such a formidable individual from the Hall of Gods. This was mind-blowing!"Your Excellency, I have never offended any of you from the Hall of Gods. Why have you come to massacre the members of Boulderthorn?" Clement asked, his face pale with fear."What? Arent you all the West Lucozian army?" The blonde-haired man asked with confusion."Huh? West Lucozian army? We're members of the Boulderthorn guild!" Clement exclaimed defeatedly. After all the mess, it turns out that the members of his guild died for no reason."Oh, so you're not the West Lucozian army?
An Understated Dominance Chapter 360
Both Oliver and Brody felt their knees start to buckle. "Why are such legendary beings here?" Luther's face was as white as a sheet as he lamented inwardly. Had he known that he would meet these masters here, he never would have come in the first place!Everyone was silenced by the presence of the four major gods from the Hall of Gods. An overwhelming, murderous aura permeated every inch of the place. The crowd stood idly in place, and no one dared to speak, move, or even so much as breathe loudly.At that moment, they knew that they were no longer in control of their lives. And the fact was, they weren't wrong. Not in the least. In the presence of the four major gods, their lives were as insignificant as ants. Beneath their fear and terror, there was also a genuine curiosity as to what exactly brought the four major gods there."Mr. Rhys, we know you're in there. Would you please come out to meet us?" The four major gods stood in a row, and it was Athena who first broke the silence.
An Understated Dominance Chapter 361
As the battle raged on, Albert held his ground firmly against the four major gods' attacks. The five figures moved around so fast that they seemed to be intertwined, and it was impossible to tell them apart. It was quite an overwhelming sight to behold. Everywhere they passed by, trees would fall and houses would collapse. The entire place was in ruins. Dustin stood at the entrance to the medical center, blocking out the occasional stray bursts of true energy that went their way. It was a good thing that Albert had the sense to lead the fight away from them or the medical center would also have been destroyed."Dustin, who would have thought that you had such a powerful elder in your family! Even the four major gods cannot defeat him!" Maximus stared straight ahead at the five figures who were engaged in a tight battle. They moved so fast that he could not even make out who each person was."He's not an elder," Dustin said coldly."He's not? Then why is he with your father?" Maximus

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
