An Understated Dominance Chapter 848
"Stop struggling! There's nowhere for you to run! There's still a chance you will live if you surrender now!" Derek snorted. The Killian family was influential in Oakvale, and it was suicidal to provoke them. "Shut up!" Cornelius slapped Derek's cheek, causing one of his teeth to fall out. Derek had no choice but to bite the rest of his words back. The helicopters flew lower. Their doors opened, and Charles and 36 death warriors hopped off. Although Charles didn't bring too many men with him, the soldiers he had were the best of the best. They would give up their lives for him if he commanded them to. "You're finally here, Mr. Killian! Save me! You have to arrest these arrogant bastards and punish all of them!" Derek shouted as soon as he saw Charles. The Killian family's death warriors were well known for being incredible warriors, so they could get rid of them easily. "Why are you being held hostage, General Lester? What about my son?" Charles frowned, a bad feeling c

Just like that, an exciting turn of events began. Charles wanted to kill Dustin, who was holding Derek hostage. While for Derek to save himself, he had no choice but to ask his men to aim their weapons toward Charles instead. Thus, the three parties froze up and didn't move. "How dare you defy me, Lester!" Charles hissed. "You forced me to do this! Since I will die anyway, let's all die together!" Derek yelled, throwing his pride aside now that he might die."Well, well. Since you seem so eager to die, let me help you!" Charles signaled to his men. "Get rid of these meddlesome soldiers first!""Yes, sir!"The 36 death warriors spun in unison and attacked Derek's soldiers. "Shoot them now!" Derek roared, and gunshots rang out as the battle began. Although Charles didn't have as many men as Derek, his men were much stronger than Derek's. The death warriors were like well-oiled fighting machines, and the soldier's bullets couldn't even graze them. After a round of fight
An Understated Dominance Chapter 850
"What?" Derek gaped at the headless bodies in disbelief.He had witnessed how strong Charles' death warriors were and how they annihilated his men in less than two minutes. Yet, those beasts had been defeated with a single strike. That was impossible!"H—how is that possible?" Charles' eyes widened incredulously. Those had been insanely powerful fighters that his family spent a lot of time and effort training. They were invincible when they fought together. Unless someone were a Grandmaster, they wouldn't be a match for his men.Yet, Dustin had taken care of them with one swing. How was that even possible?Charles backed up in terror as the headless bodies fell to the ground with thuds. His eyes were filled with astonishment, dismay, and fear. "W—who the hell are you?" Charles paled. He didn't expect Dustin to be so strong, initially assuming he could take care of Dustin easily. "You have no right to know who I am," Dustin replied calmly. "You have two choices right

Both halves of Charles' body fell to the floor.Derek was shell-shocked as he watched Charles get sliced in two. He fell to the floor and began to tremble from head to toe.Sweat and urine pooled under his body.He never expected Dustin could be so ruthless. He'd killed the second son of the Killian family without any hesitation.He was fucking scary!"Sir Rhys, this bastard is the last one left. Should we kill him too?" Cornelius pressed his blade to Derek's neck once again."Don't kill me! Show mercy, hero! Show mercy!" Derek burst into tears of fright. He crawled over to Dustin on his knees, begging for his life in a frenzy.He was terrified. These people were insane and had no reservations.They dared to kill a big shot like Charles. What was he in comparison to that?"Forget it. This has nothing to do with him. Let him live," Dustin said indifferently."Sir Rhys, the Killian family has lost many of their members. They'll do a thorough investigation. If we don't tie up lo

The night passed quickly.The following day, all the members of the Kirin Gang were dressed in mourning suits. They stood at the entrance to the House of Heroes.The House of Heroes was where they kept the ashes of the Kirin Gang members.All disciples who died in the line of duty were regarded as heroes. They would then be kept in the House of Heroes for others to visit.One reason was to cherish their memory; the other was to serve as a warning.The Kirin Gang would care for the friends and family of those who make it to the House of Heroes. Their family would receive timely financial support to help with living costs.This way, the Kirin Gang members wouldn't have to worry about their families if they pass away one day.Dustin stood at the entrance of the House of Heroes. He held two human heads dripping with blood and walked to the memorial plaque in the middle of the room.The words, "In memory of Nelson Horst, guildmaster of the Flame Dragon Guild," were engraved on it.

The woman's eyes widened. Knowing she was in trouble, she used her sword to block.The white beam hit the blade, forcing the woman backward. She almost tripped and fell.Blood dripped from her mouth. The hand that was gripping the sword was numb. She couldn't move."Who are you? Why are you stopping me?!" The woman frowned with a dark expression.She didn't know such a skilled martial artist would be hiding in this lowly Kirin Gang."I'll kill you for trying to assassinate our gang leader!" Cornelius was about to attack again when Dustin stopped him. "Young lady, who are you? Why did you try to kill me when you got here?""You killed my brother! I'm here to take revenge!" the woman said indignantly."Your brother? Are you from the Killian family?" Dustin's eyes flashed coldly."The Killian family? My name is Horst, Nikki Horst!" the woman shouted."Nikki Horst? Then your brother must be …" Dustin's eyebrows knitted."My brother is Nelson Horst!" Nikki's words shocked the au

"If you don't stab me today, you won't get the chance again," Dustin reminded Nikki.As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the sword in his abdomen and tossed it back to her."Hmph! I don't need you to tell me what to do! I'm here to say goodbye to my brother, so I'll let you live to see another day. When I'm in a bad mood again, I'll come to end your life!"Nikki elbowed past Dustin and stormed toward the House of Heroes."Sir Rhys, why didn't you dodge just now? That woman is horrible. What if you got hurt?" Cornelius was very concerned. "I owe her that." Dustin shook his head while looking serious.Every time he remembered Nelson's horrible death, he felt remorse and guilt.At least he felt slightly better after that stab."Sir Rhys, let's bandage your wound." Cornelius sighed softly. Then, he waved a disciple over and asked him to treat Dustin's injury.As the gang leader, Dustin was deeply caring and loyal. Of course, that was a good thing.But to become a hero and lead the

There was only one possibility. Nikki and her group must have arrived in the Southern province much earlier."You guessed it right. I have come to Balerno for an important matter." Nikki didn't deny it and started to glance around the area."You have a nice, spacious place here. The Jade Maiden Sisterhood needs a place to stay for the time being. Do you mind if we stay here?""We do have plenty of space. You can settle down here if you want. I'll have someone make arrangements," Dustin agreed readily. He wondered if guilt made him feel obligated to agree to all her requests. "Hmph! Smart move!" Nikki nodded in satisfaction and took out a red pill. She told him, "Here, this is Haemotrol. It not only helps you recover, but it also boosts your internal energy and cultivation. Since you got injured, it should help.""Thanks." Dustin flashed her a weak smile. He could tell Nikki wasn't a bad person. "No problem. Consider it payment for accommodations." Nikki then took out her ph

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
