An Understated Dominance Chapter 479
"Lord Consultant, greetings! I am fighter Cobalt Sander!"Under everyone's gaze, Cobalt got on one knee and saluted Dustin with a face full of respect. He was the Hill family's fighter; in other words, he was a high-ranking guard.Meanwhile, a consultant was completely different—a consultant was second only to the master!Everyone, no matter who, referred to him with the respectful address of "sir" or "lord."One could count on one hand the number of Consultant Badges the Hill family had given out. There were merely a handful of consultants, but each and every one of them was all-powerful figures! If Dustin was able to get a Consultant Badge, then that was sufficient proof of his power and worth!"Er …"Everyone was shocked when Cobalt suddenly got on one knee. They were completely dumbstruck, their faces full of disbelief.That was none other than the famous Master Sander, the second-ranked on the Hundred Immortals! People everywhere worshiped the ground he walked on. Yet,

The fork whizzed through the air like an arrow leaving the bow and went straight through Duncan's arm."Ah!" he screamed, cold sweat pouring down his face."Remember, if this happens again, I won't stop at just an arm," Dustin warned."You … you're ballsy!" Duncan pressed his arm that was bleeding profusely, and ran for his life—his former moments of glory had now turned into a humiliating spectacle."Dustin, what was that thing you took out earlier? Why did that guy get on his knee immediately when he saw it?" Dahlia couldn't help but ask curiously once Duncan was gone.The others didn't utter a word, but they were also bewildered."Oh, two days ago, I saved a patient, and his family gave me a badge. They told me that if I ever got into trouble, this could save my life. I didn't think I'd actually have to use it," Dustin said with a laugh."Huh? That's unbelievably lucky," Dahlia said, slightly surprised. She had almost thought that he was going to end up in deep shit."Hmph,

Dustin was in a dilemma. "Dahlia, you know I'm only average at martial arts. I've never been a Chief Security Officer before. Don't you think I'm not suited for that post?" He was good at fighting and treating illnesses, but he had no experience holding an executive position in a company. It just didn't feel right. "You just need to be good at fighting." Dahlia smiled at him. "You don't need to do anything. You just need to oversee safety matters and, at the same time, protect me from harm.""I …" Dustin didn't know what to say."Hmph! If you don't want to do it, fine." She pulled a long face. "I'll just die a quick death if someone wants to harm me. It's no big deal.""Come on, it's not that serious." His eyes twitched.Dahlia responded, "You're right, it's not that serious. Nicholson Corp. has tens of billions in assets. Of course, I don't need any protection as the newly appointed chairman. It's not like anyone is after their shares. Please just remember to collect my body wh

"Mr. Dustin Rhys.""Who's Dustin Rhys? I've never heard of him. Get lost, and don't be an eyesore!" The guard lambasted. Every day, many people sent gifts to the Hill family. It had already become a regular occurrence for them."But Mr. Rhys instructed me to deliver this to Sir Patrick personally." Edmund was in a hard spot. "Hey, do you not understand what I said? I told you to get lost!" The guard was getting impatient. Edmund was nervous and shrank back in slight fear. "Could you kindly deliver the message at least?" "Who are you to ask me to deliver a message? Get lost before I lose my cool!" The guard's expression was cold. "What's the noise about?" At that moment, a tall, well-built man walked out.The previously upset guard immediately greeted him with a smile. "Mr. Torben, it's nothing. A beggar is being rowdy and wants to pass a gift to Mr. Patrick. I'll get him to leave immediately." "Hold up." Torben raised his hand to stop him and turned his attention toward E

When Dustin returned to Enchanting Villa, it was already dusk, but Edmund was nowhere to be found. Dustin found it suspicious. Typically, Edmund would already have dinner prepared by this time. With how considerate he was, he would even inform Dustin in advance when he had to leave the house. Just as he was wondering about the situation, his phone rang. It was from Abigail. "Dustin! Things are bad. Something happened to my dad!" Dustin could tell she was anxious as soon as she spoke."What happened?" Dustin turned serious. "The hospital just called. They said my dad was beaten up so badly he almost died," Abigail replied.Dustin's brows furrowed slightly. "Edmund treats everyone with kindness. Why would he suddenly be beaten up?" Edmund was always cautious and reserved, and he interacted with people with an apologetic smile on his face. Logically speaking, he wasn't the type to engage in conflicts or make enemies. "I'm not sure about the details. I'm on the way to the hosp

Dustin frowned. "That meant it was the Hills that did this?" He had been kind enough to have Edmund deliver them the medicinal wine to treat Paul. Instead of being grateful, they attacked Edmund. No matter the reason, he was not going to let them go easily. Dustin felt guilty. "I'm sorry, Mr. Robinson. I put you into this mess. You wouldn't have endured such suffering if I didn't send you there."Edmund forced out a smile. "No, it has nothing to do with you. I was just unlucky.""Don't worry, Mr. Robinson. I will get revenge for you. It doesn't matter who did this to you. I will make them pay!" Dustin vowed."Mr. Rhys, the Hills are a powerful and influential family that we can't afford to offend. Please don't act impulsively." Edmund grew agitated. It was one thing for him to be beaten, but if he was the reason Dustin was harmed, he would never forgive himself. "Don't worry about me. You just need to make sure you get better. I'll deal with this matter." He took out a pill an

"What?" The rest of the guards froze at the sight of their buddy, who died with just a punch. They never imagined Dustin would be so vicious. It was obvious that he didn't have any respect for the Hills if he would kill someone over a disagreement."How dare you!""The audacity!""You must be tired of living! To actually kill someone from the Hill family!"After a momentary daze, the few remaining guards brandished their knives and yelled angrily at Dustin.Dustin stood calmly in place. His cold gaze scanning them left and right, he asked, "Did you guys also beat Mr. Robinson up?""What?" Their pupils constricted as they unconsciously took a few steps back. It felt like they had been marked by a predator. However, they soon realized the absurdity of it. They were at the Hill family residence! What was there to be afraid of when they were only up against a single person?"You punk! If you don't want to die, surrender immediately, or don't blame us for being merciless!" The guard

With the distance closing in and only a few meters left between both parties, Dustin's knees bent slightly before he stepped forcefully onto the ground. He propelled forward like a rocket, following an explosion-like noise that left a crater in its wake. What was left behind in his path were groans and splattered blood.Protected by his energy sphere, the elite guards were sent flying before they could even touch him. Some suffered broken limbs, while others died instantly. No one could put up a fight against him. Dustin was like a fierce tiger preying upon a flock of sheep—unstoppable and invincible. Within a few minutes, half of the hundreds of elite guards had collapsed to the ground."Damn it, this punk has skills!" Torben frowned as he watched Dustin go on his rampage. The Hill family's elite guards were the cream of the crop. It was a sight to see them fall one after the other. "Young Mr. Hill, if my observation serves me right, that guy should be a divine-level martial artis

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
