An Understated Dominance Chapter 943
The crowd began whispering when they heard what Dustin said. Some of them were shocked, while others had their doubts. But most of them did not believe him."Nonsense! My father had been upright and honest his whole life! "How could he have done such a horrible thing?" Torben bellowed."I'm warning you, Dustin! You better not spout such nonsense around!"Spring's expression was dark. "You murdered my father, and now you're dragging my brother through the mud! What malicious intentions you have!""Let Autumn tell you what he's done. Then you'll know if I'm slandering him."Dustin pulled out the wad of cloth shoved in Autumn's mouth. Then, he kicked him. "Go on, tell them what happened last night.""Spring! Save me! Quick!" Autumn immediately began yelling once he opened his mouth."This scoundrel captured me and started torturing me. He even threatened to wipe out my entire family if I did not take the blame for him! Spring, you have to save me!""You liar! How dare you tell
An Understated Dominance Chapter 944
A deathly silence came over the crowd as Autumn's head fell to the ground.All the shouts and clamors died down.Ronald and Conrad were shocked.The Hill family, Jade Maiden Sisterhood, Boulderthorn, the Zen Order, the Combat Priests, the Soul Reapers, and all the martial artists present were shocked.Everyone gaped in disbelief.No one had expected Dustin to be so cruel. He had cut Autumn's head off in front of the entire Hill family, the Balerno and Glenstead martial alliances, and all the sects.Without any reason or explanation, he killed him like one would slaughter an animal.Then, an uproar broke out."How dare you kill someone so openly, Dustin? You cocky bastard!""He killed him to silence him! That's what he's doing!""He has no conscience! Someone like him needs to be killed!""Kill him! Avenge Sir Paul! Return the Hill family their honor!"The crowd stomped their feet and cursed at him.He was already guilty of murder, and now he'd committed another! They would

"Do you see that, everyone?"Dustin looked around and said coldly, "Autumn's conscience has been shrouded by his greed. "He would not even spare his father for power. Should a vile person like him not be killed?"Dustin's question shut all of them up.Even those from the Hill family who had been livid were silenced.Spring froze after watching the video.Torben stood there, mumbling to himself, "How did things turn out this way? "How could my father end up being my grandfather's murderer? Tha—that's impossible!"He found it hard to believe that his father would commit such a vile act.He even went so far as to disregard family ties just for power and authority. It was outrageous!"I had thought that Dustin was the murderer. Turns out there's a traitor within the Hill family!""He can even bring himself to murder his father. What a monster!""One can never judge a book by its covers. Who would have thought the ever-helpful and generous Sir Autumn was so despicable?"The c

"What? Spring Hill?"Everyone was shocked by Dustin's words. All eyes rested on the Hills."No way! Spring has always been a righteous and generous person. How could he have anything to do with this?""I don't believe you too. Spring is known to be a gentleman. Everyone only talks about how good he is.""Was he mistaken?"A heated discussion broke out among the crowd.Spring had the best reputation among the Hill brethren. He was always helpful to others. Even beggars who approached him were treated with respect. There was no doubt about his character.Spring was taken aback but quickly recovered. He roared, "What nonsense! There's no bad blood between us, Dustin."Why are you making false accusations against me?""False accusations?" Dustin scoffed. "You know better than anyone else whether those accusations are true."Autumn was just impulsive. He has the brawns but not the brains. "He is incapable of planning Sir Paul's assassination and framing me for it!"Autumn's

"Sir Reeds, the letter could have been fabricated."Spring said calmly, "All he needed to do was to get someone to imitate my penmanship. "He could easily make a fake letter. It doesn't prove anything.""Precisely! Who knows if he made it up?" The Hills took Spring's side readily."Oh, Spring, it seems like I've underestimated you. How can you still be denying what you've done?"Alright, since you insist you're innocent, I'll give you evidence you can't deny."Dustin clapped. Then, the disciples of the Kirin Gang parted to make way.Then, an old man with white hair and beard strode out with his head held high.Everyone stood frozen in place as if they'd been struck by lightning.The old man was none other than the late Sir Paul!"H—how is this possible? Isn't Sir Paul dead?""Oh my god! I can't possibly be looking at a ghost now, right?""What on Earth is going on? Has the dead come back to life?"The crowd was shocked, and they all staggered back. They looked like they'd

Spring's legs went weak, and he sat on the ground after letting out all his pent-up thoughts.His face was twisted with many negative emotions: anger, hatred, jealousy, craze, and spite.He could not understand why things turned out the way they did. He had come up with a perfect plan. There should have been no mistake.All he had to do was kill Paul, and he could take over his position. He would then be in control and have ultimate authority.Yet, things did not go according to his plan. All his carefully planned schemes burst like bubbles.He had only two possible outcomes when he decided to aim for his father's position. He could reach his goal and be respected by all, or he would fail and fall into disgrace.Unfortunately, he failed.Paul hadn't died, and all his plans and schemes were wasted. But he refused to accept the outcome!Just one step. One more step was all it took for him to get a taste of success. Why?"I never thought that Spring would be the one behind all

Ronald was the only one who stayed behind."Why are you still here, Ronald? Go back," Paul said.Ronald did not answer him. He gave him a quick once over and looked at Dustin instead. "Dustin, where did you hire this person?""What? What nonsense is that?" Paul frowned."Well? Are you going to keep up the act?" Ronald's expression darkened."Watch it! Is this how you talk to your mentor? How rude!" Paul scolded angrily."Hmph! I'll see for myself if you're a man or a ghost!" Ronald huffed. Suddenly, he reached out to claw at Paul's face.Paul frowned and quickly stepped back. But he wasn't fast enough.Just as Ronald was about to grab him, Dustin rushed up and stood between the two. "Sir Reeds, please have mercy. Hear me out," he said."You horrid student! How dare you attack your mentor? "That is unacceptable behavior!" Paul looked furious."Alright, alright. Enough with that. Sir Reeds has already seen through your disguise."Dustin shot the person behind him a war

Dustin lay unconscious on his bed in Zephyr Lodge. His brows were furrowed, and his face was ghostly pale.A war raged on within him as the toxins and his true energy battled with each other relentlessly.From time to time, black blood would trickle out of his nose and mouth.Dr. Watkins sat by his bedside as he carefully performed acupuncture on him. His brows were furrowed in concentration as he tried to get the poison out of him.Cornelius, Azalea, Abigail, and the rest were worried as they stood waiting by the side.Dustin was not even cleared of Septemortis yet, and now another unknown poison was added to the mix. The situation was terrible.Ronald led those from the Balerno martial arts alliance to search for Conrad, who seemed to have disappeared. They still had no news of him yet.Now, all their hopes lay with Dr. Watkins to bring Dustin back from the brink of death.As time passed, sweat began forming on Dr. Watkin's forehead. He was breathing raggedly.As the needles

"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
