An Understated Dominance Chapter 438
Since he was quite free, he thought he could use some time to relax.Twenty minutes later, Dustin and Abigail exited the car in front of a music bar. Compared to the lively and noisy atmosphere of a karaoke bar, the music bar was quieter. Friends could sit together, drink, chat, and listen to music. It was relaxing and comfortable. "Abigail! Over here!"Right after they entered the music bar, a short-haired girl stood up and waved at Abigail. Dustin followed the direction of the sound and recognized several familiar faces.The short-haired girl was Nina Sharp. Another one was a popular guy in school, Mike Horton. Dustin thought the rest looked quite familiar but couldn't recall their names. The only person he couldn't recognize was a girl in a school uniform. She looked young and pretty. The girl had a delicate oval face with exquisite features. She looked pure and innocent, like a fairy. With just a glance, she could capture a person's attention."Sorry, we're late."Abigail ap

"Hey! What the fuck are you talking about?" Mike sprung up and yelled, feeling a burst of righteousness after seeing the sleazy man pester Ruby. "My friend already told you she can't sing the song! Why the hell do you keep pressing her?" "Exactly! How can you force people to sing songs they don't know? Aren't you being too unreasonable?" Nina chimed in. The others who had remained silent wore similar indignant expressions. "A show-off, huh?" The chubby man sneered. "She should follow the rules since she walked onto the stage. I've already paid, so she has to sing!" "So what if you paid? That measly sum is barely enough to buy coffee!" Mike scoffed disdainfully. "You want to talk about rules? Let me humor you. Hey, I'll give you 100 roses. Sing whatever you like for the first song!" he said and paid ten thousand dollars on the spot. "Damn! He sure is easygoing with his money. He spent ten thousand without hesitation." "He's probably some rich kid. Let's see what happens." Th

"Ten million?" The crowd exchanged astonished glances when they heard him. Ordinary citizens couldn't even dream of earning that much money in their lifetime. How could Dustin make such a bold statement? "Do you even have that kind of money?" Abigail asked, shocked and anxious. "Come on, don't show off when you don't even have that much money. You'll only end up embarrassing yourself," Mike said scornfully, giving Dustin a disdainful look. Although he dared not challenge the chubby man again, he still had the audacity to look down on Dustin. There was no way he believed a shabby-looking country bumpkin could win against someone as wealthy as Chubster. "You're just spouting nonsense to show off, right? Well, let's see how this ends!" Nina snorted, not believing that someone like Dustin would have ten million dollars. "Who the fuck said that?" Surprised, Chubster glanced around the room frostily. "It was me." Dustin stood up slowly, his stare icy. "Are you challenging me?" Ch

Despite how plainly dressed Dustin was, his confident and collected demeanor made people think twice about their opinions of him. They began to believe that he was either a regular braggart or someone who actually had ten million dollars. As everyone waited silently for the results, the restaurant owner walked over and said, "My apologies, sir, but the PIN was wrong, and the transaction failed." "Wrong?" Dustin was surprised. Wasn't his PIN 666666? Did he remember wrongly? "What about the ten million you were talking about?" Chubster burst out laughing. "Why bother pretending if you're poor? Did you think you could get away with it by acting? What a joke!" "Tsk. Turns out he's just a braggart. I nearly believed him." "I know, right? And it must be embarrassing to get your lie exposed like that." Everyone cast their mocking and disdainful gazes at him, believing that the wrong PIN was his excuse to escape from paying. There was no way they'd allow him to get the attention
An Understated Dominance Chapter 442
The crowd was stunned to see the owner frantically apologizing to Dustin. They all gaped at Dustin, jaws dropped in disbelief. Ten million dollars had accidentally turned into 100 million dollars, and the transaction was successful? How much money was on that card? No one could laugh anymore. Instead, their eyes were full of shock and envy as they stared at Dustin, who had easily paid what ordinary families couldn't even earn after generations. He was the true tycoon! "T-that's impossible!" After getting over his shock, Mike's reaction turned into disbelief. "Did you make a mistake, sir? There's no way this guy could have so much money!" How could such a shabbily dressed man have 100 million dollars? "He's right. It has to be fake. There's no way anyone would carry 100 million dollars around!" Nina voiced her suspicions as well. Although none of the others spoke, they obviously doubted it as well. "Look closely, you ignorant fools!" The owner humphed and slapped the bil

In terms of power, Terry was potentially Tyler Grant's rival since they both liked doing things however they wanted."So what if you're rich? You still have to submit to the Doyle family." Mike goaded secretly. As a martial arts family, the Doyle family has always acted however they liked, so they would never take this matter lightly."The Doyle family is incredibly powerful. I guess it's over for this guy." Nina shook her head, pleased with the show.Being rich was different from being powerful. Some rich families were nothing but ants to powerful families. "You scared now?" Duncan smirked. "Since you know who I am now, you should know what to do next, right?"He may not be able to withdraw 100 million dollars, but he had a powerful brother. As long as he used his brother's name, most people would let him have his way."So what? Don't be a sore loser. You've lost the bet, so you should keep your side of the bargain," Dustin responded bluntly. "Huh?" Duncan frowned. "Do you

"Are you out of your mind? How could you attack someone from the Doyle family?" Nina and the others went pale as a sheet when they saw Duncan lying on the floor, unconscious. They never expected Dustin to be so bold."So what?" Dustin replied, unconcerned."Hmmph! What an ignorant fool!" Nina glanced at him disdainfully. "The Doyle family is one of the Fabulous Five. You might end up as a corpse floating in the Ziby River by tomorrow!""Really? I don't think so." Dustin shrugged."Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're rich. The Doyle family is far stronger than you can imagine," Mike informed scornfully. "Terry Doyle is also a protective man. If he hears that his family was attacked, he'll take this seriously! If I were you, I'd start apologizing to them and atoning for my sins. That way, you might still have a chance of survival." Dustin gave the other man a small smile in response. "Well, you aren't me.""I've said what I needed to say. Since you're bein

The next morning, Dustin was reading medical literature when a silver Bentley pulled up at the entrance of the courtyard. "Bad news, Dustin! Something happened to my dad!" Ruth rushed into the building and yelled anxiously. "Calm down. Your dad won't die yet." Dustin slowly lowered his book, looking unbothered. "Huh? How did you know?" Ruth was surprised."Didn't I tell you yesterday? Your father was poisoned, and he won't live past three days. This is only the second day, so he still has one day left," Dustin answered. "Then, what should we do? Can you treat him?" Ruth pressed."I can, but on one condition.""What is it?""I hope your family can agree to your sister's request and break off the engagement with the Grant family.""Break off the engagement?" Ruth frowned. "Dustin, this isn't a matter to be taken lightly. My father won't agree to it."The marriage was one that both families were expecting. Should the engagement be broken off, the relationship between the two

Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr

After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl

When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a

Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o

As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to

After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

"How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap

Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed
