An Understated Dominance Chapter 500
When they took a better look, they realized that it was Julie Amberson. "Dustin, why are you here?" Julie was surprised when she spotted him."Why can't I be here? I'm the Chief Security Officer." Dustin grabbed an apple and munched on it."Chief Security Officer? Dahlia, are you serious? I'm just a secretary, but you appointed him as chief officer. Why?" Julie was aghast."I don't need to explain my decisions to you," Dahlia snapped at her with a stern look. "By the way, I'm surprised that you can still call yourself a secretary. You were 32 minutes late on your first day at the job. How unprofessional of you!" She gave Julie a chance to grow and improve her skills after being pestered by Florence and her aunt on the matter, but she was disappointed by Julie's attitude."I was stuck in traffic just now. I had no choice! Anyway, I was only late for half an hour. That's not a big deal, is it?" Julie did not take it seriously."Did I not ask you to wait in the meeting room with
An Understated Dominance Chapter 501
Julie was taken aback before she collected herself and stared at Dustin like he was an idiot. "Are you, now? Dustin, can you stop bluffing? Who do you think you are? The audacity to claim that you're the leader of the gang!""Dustin quit it. You need to behave." Dahlia glared at him. She didn't look convinced either. After all, Dustin had only arrived in Millsburg a few days ago. It was impossible to claim the leadership position within that time frame."Why would I lie to you about this? If you don't trust me, just go with me to the Flame Dragon Gang. I'll get your money back for you," Dustin swore."Hmph! Do you take us as fools? We'll die if we ask the gang for our money back!" Julie told him off."Whatever. How about I go to the Flame Dragon Gang headquarters alone without the two of you?" He couldn't be bothered to argue with the ladies, and he thought they were overreacting to a small issue."Wait! I'll go with you." Dahlia sprang up when she noticed that Dustin was leaving.

Dahlia might have the backing of Regulus Nicholson, but the patriarch in Glenstead was too far away from Balerno to pose any threat."Oh, it shouldn't be a problem if she's nothing special." Nelson chuckled. "She'd better not show up! If she ever does, I'll make it tough on her!" It was simply ridiculous for a person who wasn't rich or powerful to demand money from him."Lord Horst, I'll have to trouble you for this. When it's done, I'll send you a gift." Hank bowed to Nelson."Haha! Not a problem. We're brothers. Take it easy." A wide smile appeared on Nelson's face. Based on his past experiences, the mention of a "gift" would imply at least a million dollars in monetary reward."Lord Horst …" One of Nelson's men knocked on the door during the conversation. Nelson raised his brows unhappily. "What? Can't you see that I'm in a business meeting with my client?""A few visitors demanded to see you. They would like you to pay your debts," the man reported the situation."Oh, they su
An Understated Dominance Chapter 503
"What?" The man was in a state of confusion after being slapped. He held his cheek, looking lost. The other men exchanged looks of shock. No one had expected that outburst from Nelson, who one second ago was screaming about slashing the visitors. And the next second, Nelson appeared frightened, as though he saw ghosts. What was going on?"What are you doing there? Hurry up and get me the check!" Nelson gave the frozen man a nervous kick."Okay …" The man hurriedly stumbled his way back to the office. He had no clue about the situation, but one thing was for sure—Lord Horst was fearful.During the wait, Nelson went up to Dustin and squeezed an apologetic smile. "Sir Rhys, when did you arrive? You should have informed me earlier, so I could send someone to pick you up.""Sir Rhys?" Dahlia and Julie were stunned by Nelson's obsequious behavior. They looked at each other in disbelief. Why would the cruel Lord Horst of the Flame Dragon Gang act in such a humble manner after meeting Dust

"Have a good day, Sir Rhys!" Nelson bowed deeply to the trio as they left."Have a good day, Sir Rhys!" The members of the Flame Dragon Gang mimicked Nelson and chanted loudly. Hank had run down to the first floor from his viewing point when he figured that something was off. He confronted Nelson. "Lord Horst, what's wrong? Why did you pay her back?"Nelson had promised to teach Dahlia a lesson, but upon the meeting, Nelson obediently paid the debts without a word of protest. Since when were the Flame Dragon Gang such losers?"Oh, 'why' you fucking ask?" Nelson turned around and glowered as he hissed, "Did you know who's the guy beside that lady just now?""Wasn't he just a bodyguard? What's so special about that?" Hank frowned, confused by Nelson's reaction."Just a bodyguard?!" After the initial shock, Nelson smacked Hank hard on the back of his head and rebuked, "You blind fuckwit! That's our new gang leader!""What? Your new gang leader?" Hank was stunned."Son of a bitch!

"What? What do you mean he can't save his own ass?! What nonsense is that?" Julie glared at him crossly. She was annoyed with the way Dustin had poured cold water on her suggestion."If I'm not wrong, Terrence Stone will be fired by the Brooks Corporation today," Dustin proclaimed breezily."Bullshit!" Julie was irked by his prediction. "Our Terrence is good at his job. Why would he get fired?""Whether you believe it or not, it's all up to you. Anyway, Terrence Stone can't help us on the second challenge." Dustin shrugged."If he can't help, are you saying that you can do it? What a joke!" Julie stared at him icily, thinking that he was only a reckless man who shouldn't be bragging around."Sorry to tell you, but I can do what Terrence Stone can't." Dustin grinned at her."Oh, you're getting cocky now, aren't you?" Julie was burning with rage. "Dustin Rhys, I wanted to respect you, but if you're such an arrogant twat, I'll prove you wrong!" Then, she immediately made a call to

"Wait!" Julie ran up to the middle-aged man just as he was about to leave. "Mr. Suzman, you might not know me, but you must know Terrence Stone.""Terrence Stone?" The man lifted an eyebrow. "What do you three have to do with him?""Terrence is my boyfriend!" Julie beamed proudly. "Mr. Suzman, I believe that he has already given you a heads-up. Now, can we go to your office?""No, you can't." The man put on a frosty look. "I'll repeat: you have to make an appointment to meet with me.""What?" Julie was slightly taken aback by his attitude. "Mr. Suzman, did you not hear me? I'm Terrence's girlfriend, and I'm here to talk business.""So what?" The man snickered. "Even if it were Terrence who came to see me, he'd have to make an appointment too!""You—" Julie choked on anger and refused to believe that Mr. Suzman would shut her out. He wouldn't even budge at the mention of Terrence."Julie, it looks like name-dropping won't work around here." Dustin flashed her a half-smile. Her ey

"H—how could that be? I—impossible!" Terrence's eyes were bulging with disbelief. Although he did not put much effort into the job, at least he didn't make any mistakes. On top of that, he was carefree during his time with the company because he had the backing of the higher-ups. Given his social connections, it wouldn't make sense for him to get fired. He couldn't wrap his head around the situation."Terrence, you're fired?" Julie was bug-eyed when she noticed the change in Terrence's expression. He had promised her the business contract, but how did he end up losing his job instead?"It looks like there's trouble." Dahlia furrowed her brows and appeared pensive. She had pinned her hopes on Terrence, but he wouldn't be of any help anymore."Cole Suzman, be honest—were you playing dirty behind my back?" Terrence fixed his gaze on Cole."Why would I do so when there's nothing between us? Plus, even if I wanted, I wouldn't have the power to do that. You should look at yourself for th

While Dustin was away, Natasha couldn't help but worry about him. She would always keep an eye out for any news about him. But no matter how much she missed him, she wouldn't call him. She didn't want to distract or cause him to lose focus on the important matters concerning the nation's affairs. Understanding how busy he was, she kept her feelings in check and buried herself in work to keep her mind occupied.But when Natasha finally saw Dustin again, all the emotions she had bottled up came rushing out. Months of longing turned into overwhelming affection, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.Her assistant, Tanya, watched in shock. She had no idea Natasha—typically the poised, decisive, and commanding chairwoman—was in a relationship. What surprised her even more was how different Natasha seemed around Dustin. The usually unshakable "queen" now appeared soft and tender in his presence.Tanya couldn't help but watch Dustin more closely. His looks and charisma were u

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
