An Understated Dominance Chapter 422
The ladies shrank away from the table in terror. Nelson, looking as though he'd seen a ghost, immediately pulled away, worried that Dustin might suddenly kill him as well. The only one left calmly sitting in his seat was Patrick. "Can I know what you have against Harry?" Patrick asked cooly. "Nothing." Dustin shook his head. "Then, do you have a grudge against him?" "Nope." "Then, why did you kill him?" "Because he deserved to die." "And the reason?" Patrick pressed. He despised people who killed others without reason. No matter how powerful those people might be, they didn't deserve to be his friends. "Mr. Hill, doesn't the vodka smell wonderful?" Instead of answering Patrick's question, Dustin countered with a question of his own. "Why does that matter?" Patrick frowned. "It smells extremely delicious. Too delicious, in fact." Dustin pulled out a silver needle and stuck it into the glass. When he drew the needle back out, the tip had already turned black! "It's
An Understated Dominance Chapter 423
Now that Harry was dead, Nelson, the assistant leader, successfully took over and replaced him as the one in charge of the Flame Dragon Gang. With thousands of disciples and hundreds of elite members, the Flame Dargon Gang was a significant force in the entire Millsburg. It would be easier for Dustin to do things in Millsburg with the Flame Dragon Gang backing him up. "Dustin, although you are now the leader of Flame Dragon Gang, you might still face some troubles ahead," Patrick reminded him as they walked out of High Point Building. "Troubles? What do you mean?" Dustin asked curiously. "Harry didn't rise to power from nothing. He always had someone backing him up. By killing Harry, you'll definitely offend that person," Patrick said. "Oh? Who is this person?" Dustin asked. "Terry Doyle, the eldest son of the Doyle family." "Terry Doyle? I haven't heard of him." Dustin shook his head. "I can tell that you're not local. Everyone here knows Terry, but I must tell you, that

Just as he entered the house, Abigail ran toward him and shouted excitedly, "Uncle! I did it. I did it!" "What do you mean?" Dustin was shocked. "Are you pregnant?" How could she get pregnant at such a young age? This girl was too wild. "Gosh! Of course not! I'm still a virgin!" Abigail retorted, rolling her eyes. "Why are you so excited if you're not pregnant?" Dustin was speechless. She shocked him for a second. "Didn't you teach me the cultivation technique last night? Well, I'm thrilled to announce that I have successfully cultivated my internal energy!" Abigail said, beaming with joy."What? So soon?" Surprised, Dustin frowned. Usually, it would take an average martial artist at least a year or more to cultivate internal energy. Even for exceptionally talented individuals, it would still take several months to grasp the basics. Yet, Abigail claimed to have achieved it overnight. Did she master it that fast? Dustin was skeptical and reached out to feel her pulse. Ind

"What? Three minutes?" Upon hearing that, Abigail was dumbfounded.Didn't he say it took ordinary martial artists a year or more to achieve the basic level? Even she, a once-in-a-century genius, took a day to cultivate her internal energy. To achieve it in a day was already worthy of being called a prodigy. Yet Dustin achieved it in three minutes? What should she call him?A monster?A freak?At this moment, she felt deeply shocked. Her earlier bit of pride evaporated into thin air."Are you... kidding me?" Abigail couldn't accept it. "Why would I lie to you? I gain nothing from it." Dustin shrugged and said calmly, "Besides, it's just talent. It doesn't represent strength. This world is never lacking in geniuses. The path of martial arts is arduous and long. To become a true powerhouse, both talent and effort are indispensable.""I understand! I'll work hard and catch up to you soon!" Abigail clenched her fist. Then she decisively ran upstairs and began her intense training.

"The gold is indeed tempting, but I don't like it. So I can't accept the conditions you just mentioned." Dustin shook his head."If you don't like gold, then name your price," Hector raised his chin."Mr. Harmon, forgive me for speaking frankly, but Natasha should decide her marriage herself. As her parent, you shouldn't forcefully interfere with such matters," Dustin said."What?" Hector frowned. "Are you teaching me how to do things?""I'm just speaking the truth." Dustin remained composed. "As parents, shouldn't you want your children's marriages to be happy?" "Hmph! What do you even know?" At this moment, Jessica couldn't hold back any longer. "Do you know who Natasha's fiancé is? He is Tyler Grant, a natural-born genius and the future rising star of the Dragonmarsh! Only by marrying him can Natasha have a good future!" "That should be up to Natasha to decide. If she doesn't want to marry him, you can't force her," Dustin argued reasonably."Are you implying a challenge
An Understated Dominance Chapter 427
"Natasha is engaged to Tyler Grant?"As Dustin watched the departing vehicle, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Clearly, this was a strategic alliance between two prominent families, and Natasha was the sacrificial pawn in this alliance. Born into a prestigious family, she enjoyed wealth and luxury but lost her freedom. At certain moments, she even had to make sacrifices for the sake of their family's interests. Of course, Dustin would never allow such a thing to happen. With that in mind, he took out his phone and dialed a particular number. "Hello, Nelson. Help me investigate someone.""No problem. May I ask who you want me to investigate, Sir Rhys?" Nelson asked."Tyler Grant.""Tyler Grant?" Nelson raised his voice upon hearing Dustin's words. "Sir Rhys, why do you want to investigate him?""Of course, to deal with him. Do you think I'm inviting him out for a meal?" Dustin replied impatiently."What?" Nelson froze in place, his voice trembling. "Sir Rhys, please don't

"Stop talking nonsense!" Autumn glared at him. "Uncle, I have a healing pill here. Shall we let Grandfather try it?" Patrick suddenly stepped forward from the crowd, holding a Gemiphen. He wouldn't take such a risk if his grandfather's condition weren't critical."A healing pill?" Torben furrowed his brow. "This thing looks suspicious. Where did you get it from?""A friend gave it to me," Patrick answered truthfully. "Hah! Your friends? They're a bunch of useless people." Torben sneered. "Take that pill away quickly, and stop embarrassing yourself here.""Grandfather's condition is not looking good right now. I want to give it a try. What if it actually works?" Patrick insisted. "I said it's not going to work! Take it away!" Torben slapped the Gemiphen out of Patrick's hand. "You—" Patrick frowned."What? You got a problem? Should we settle it with a fight?" Torben clenched his fist, displaying his robust muscles. Patrick was known to be a weakling in their family. Torben c

Looking at the crushed Gemiphen, Nicholas was heartbroken and furious. He didn't care about his image anymore and immediately threw himself to the ground, collecting the powder bit by bit.It left everyone dumbfounded. Was it necessary to make such a fuss over a broken pill?"Mr. Turner, what's going on?" Spring was perplexed. People from Stoneray Valley were usually proud and arrogant. They had never lost their composure like that. "What's going on? How dare you ask me such a question?" Nicholas angrily retorted, "How can you destroy a panacea? This is a very rare pill. Such a waste! Who is the idiot who did this?!""Mr. Turner, are you mistaken? How could this black, broken thing be a panacea?" Torben looked skeptical. "You're such a fool!" Nicholas stared at him like he was an idiot. "What you call a broken thing is the Golden Crow Pill, a holy medicine for healing! It specializes in treating various internal injuries and chronic ailments. Your grandfather's life could have b

"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

"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
