An Understated Dominance Chapter 462
"The mastermind?" Everyone's gaze fell on the beautiful lady when they heard that. Had he said that at any other time, none of them would have believed him. In fact, they might even have brushed it off as a lie. But after everything that had happened, they had no choice but to consider his words seriously. After all, they had just witnessed a corpse moving around with such vitality. At this point, nothing seemed impossible anymore."Hey, miracle doctor, I haven't crossed you before this, have I? Why are you setting me up?" The beautiful lady frowned with a troubled expression."Dustin, you better not be accusing others without solid proof!" Hector warned him gravely. His brother had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and now, his wife was accused of being the perpetrator. This was no doubt rubbing salt in his wound."That's right! What proof have you got to claim that our sister-in-law has anything to do with this?" Jacob demanded loudly."I must have a certain level of

Before he could even wrap his head around what was going on, a sharp blade was already pressed up against his throat. The blade glistened with a dark sheen, obviously coated in poison. "Celeste, what are you doing?" Stunned by the sharp turn of events, Trent was at a loss at how to react. He had never thought that the day would come when his wife would threaten him with a blade against his neck."Stop calling me that. Your beloved Celeste died a few days ago." The woman smiled."You're not Celeste? Then who are you?" Trent's expression was one of utter horror and confusion."The Dark Lord is my master. Who do you think I am?" The sinister smile on her face remained unchanging."You're the Dark Lord's disciple?" Hector frowned. This was a grave matter. They had never expected the Dark Lord to plant a mole in the Harmon family disguised as one of them."So it is true that you're the one who poisoned Quentin! Guards! Get her!" Jacob ordered without further ado."Stand right there!"

With Hector and Jacob's arrangements, all the guests in attendance at the Harmon family gathering gradually left, and the annual event came to a jarring end.In order to prevent any other parties from taking advantage of the situation, Hector gave everyone firm instructions to keep what happened a secret and that under no circumstances was any information to be leaked.When all the guests had left, about 100 of the Harmons stayed back. As part of the Harmon family, they understood that if anything were to happen to the family, they would be similarly implicated, so they were all in it together."We really appreciate your help in finding the culprit, Dustin. Had it not been for you, the Harmon family would have suffered a tremendous loss." Hector patted Dustin on the shoulder with admiration in his eyes. It was rare to come by such a fine young man."Dad, Dustin saved our entire family. Surely you're not just thanking him verbally?" Natasha prompted."Of course not." Hector smiled.

There were several luxurious cars and a whole lot of bodyguards standing guard behind them. It was a grand sight to behold as there were easily a hundred people gathering. A man and a woman stood right at the forefront.The charismatic man had a tall physique that exuded a commanding presence, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. Every step he took gave out a strong air of danger and menace, as though he were the Grim Reaper himself making his way through a sea of bloody corpses. He stood out from the crowd and carried such an air of reverence. This was none other than the impressive Tyler Grant! And the lady beside him was Jayla Grant, whom Dustin had had a chance encounter with."Tyler, I've asked Natasha about her thoughts on this marriage alliance before. She seemed to have expressed that she did not wish to marry you," Jayla said offhandedly."That's not her choice to make. No matter what she says, I will get the woman I have my eyes on," Tyler said d

The Harmons couldn't help but shudder when Tyler's gaze swept over them. An uncontrollable fear seemed to come over them. Though he spoke calmly without any emotions, his gaze alone was enough to instill fear in them. For a moment, they felt like they were all prey to a monstrous beast."Do not be mistaken, Tyler. She doesn't mean that." As Hector said that, he shot Nataha a glare. "Stop messing around. Go back to your room right this instant!""Natasha, this marriage alliance is an arrangement between two families! This isn't child's play! You mustn't act recklessly!" Frightened, Jessica stepped forward to warn Natasha. It was one thing for her to speak impulsively in front of Jayla. But now that Tyler was here, things would get out of hand if she still insisted on saying such things."I'm not messing around, nor am I acting recklessly." Natasha stood her ground. "I know you're an exceptional person, Tyler, but matters of the heart cannot be forced. Nothing good will come of this.
An Understated Dominance Chapter 467
"Natasha Harmon, you are shameless! Absolutely vile!" Jayla was so angry she slammed her hands on the table and jumped up from her seat. With her brother's status and prestige, he was never going to marry a woman who had slept with someone else."Are you trying to provoke me?" Tyler's brow knitted together ever so slightly. A brief second later, he regained his composure and put on a facade of indifference. "I do not mind that you've lost your virginity.""What?" Once again, everyone was shocked by what they heard, especially the Grants. It was like they did not even know Tyler anymore."You do not mind that I'm no longer a virgin? Well, what if I told you that I'm with child?" Natasha tossed him another shocker. "Truth be told, I'm pregnant. I'm carrying Dustin's child!"The moment she said that, a commotion came over the room."Oh, you wretched child! How terrible!""Oh, Natasha! You've brought disgrace upon the entire Harmon family!""How can you agree to a marriage alliance
An Understated Dominance Chapter 468
"More aggressive means?" Hector and the rest of the Harmons were taken aback by Dustin's suggestion, and they all stared at him like he had gone out of his mind. He wanted to use more aggressive means against the Grants? Did he have a death wish?"Dustin, if you have a death wish, that's all on you. Please do not implicate us!" Jessica said sternly with a frown. From how she saw it, her daughter's rebellion and her publicly calling off the marriage were all because of Dustin, so she harbored some form of resentment toward him."Tyler Grant isn't an ordinary person. He has the smarts and the brawns, he's courageous and witty, and most importantly, he's got military ranks. It would be arduous to make him back off." Hector shook his head."Every man has his weaknesses. As long as I grab hold of his weakness, I'll be able to turn the tables. We've got 10 days left. I'll make sure that I smoothen everything out nicely," Dustin promised with certainty."Act within your means, boy. Don't

Tyler leaned back into the seat. Even as he took a rest with his eyes closed, he exuded an air of danger. "Tyler! That wretched girl Natasha is really too much! We need to bring her into line!" Jayla sat beside Tyler, still indignant over Natasha's words. Her brother was such a remarkable person who was outstanding in every aspect. Natasha should have counted her blessings and thanked every deity she knew that he even wanted to marry her! But not only did she not appreciate him, she dared to call off the marriage alliance in front of such a crowd. This was humiliation through and through!"Say something, Tyler! That bitch cheated on you! Are you really not pissed off by that?" Jayla was even more disgruntled by Tyler's silence. His fiancée had cheated on him with another man and even got herself pregnant! This was something that would never sit well with any man!"There's no point getting all worked up," Tyler said with indifference. "I am not marrying Natasha because I like her. I

"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

"Here's the problem—even if we know Warrick's intentions, how do we stop him?" Austin asked.Right now, Warrick had already disappeared without a trace. Austin's team hadn't even come close enough to get a hold of him, so there was no way to track him down.West Lucozia's vast territory and resources made it impossible to seal off every exit route completely. While it might be manageable in the short term, prolonging such an operation would significantly impact West Lucozia's economy. Wasting resources on a single fugitive wasn't a wise move."Warrick is a wanted man across the entire city. There's no way he's leaving through official channels. He'll have to sneak his way out," Dustin analyzed. He continued, "According to the maritime charts, if he's traveling from West Lucozia to Artea, he'll have to go through Thaloria. That's our lead. Get someone on it immediately—find out how many smuggling routes there are from West Lucozia to Thaloria.""Got it. I'll get it done right away
