"Grandpa, look at that son-in-law; he has no manners. We're all discussing something important, and he wants to leave this room immediately. He should show his achievements if he wants to be arrogant."
They all seemed to agree with that statement. Bryce, who had wanted to rest, was now stuck with the drama of his sister-in-law. The pair took great pleasure in dehumanising Bryce.
"Honey, you're right. He's quite arrogant for a man with no accomplishments. Bryce has the hardened nature of a pest. I thought his behaviour in the office the other day was enough to get him out of here. But somehow, it seems like my warnings fell on deaf ears. Our family has become a laughing stock because of a man like him," Veronica's mother, who was also there, said.
With a glass of wine in her hand, Mrs Veronica walked over to Bryce. She reluctantly poured all the contents into Bryce's face.
"True, this man has never contributed anything to o

"That's right. A poor man like Bryce should be a servant, not a son-in-law. The Carter Family has been in the public eye for almost two years. It would be great if we were famous for our achievements, but instead, we've become a joke in society. I really can't bear to be embarrassed for this long."People in the family thought that Bryce was the same as rubbish. He not only did not help Veronica but also hindered her all the time.All these glimpses of the early days of their marriage are a turning point in the golden age of the Carter family. What was once perfect now has the disgrace of defects on full display.With his head still spinning, his lips dripping blood, and his stomach aching, Bryce tried to ignore what others were saying about him. The fragile-looking man even saw his wife's expression as she desperately wanted to slap him.Noticing the reproachful look on Veronica's face, Bryce stepped closer. With an embarrassed look, he said, "Veronica,

The voices came back to Bryce's head. The universe seemed to whisper and energise him to retaliate. But Bryce was too confused and unaware of the situation.Seeing Bryce's dishevelled state was not enough to satisfy their desires. Bruno wanted to sow salt in the wound."Bryce, I know you are courting a rich woman who is about to go bankrupt. You're very brave to give her a helping hand," the man responded with a statement that would captivate Bryce's attention.With a dazed look, Bryce stopped his steps and jerked back. He asked in surprise, "Do you know Tamara?""Of course. She is a business rival that must be destroyed. The doctor who treated her husband is my friend. I asked the doctor to increase the dosage in the prescription!" Bruno replied with a grinning smile."Bruno, how dare you..." Bryce responded, and his blood started to rise.Bryce clenched his fists, his eyes burned with anger, and blue veins appeared on his forehead. David had been bedridden for a year as his conditio
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 17: Return of Memory
While contemplating the meaning of life and death, Bryce's eyes slowly became heavy and began to close on their own. The man seemed to have to let go that death had come for him.Bryce faintly heard someone coming towards him, the man screaming for help. This immediately caused a crowd of people to slowly come and approach Bryce, who was lying there covered in blood.After that, Bryce knew nothing more. All of his daydreams came to a screeching halt. He ended up in a blackout.The closed eyes only opened when Bryce sensed the strong smell of disinfectant affecting his sense of smell. Bryce began to hear the conversation between the doctor and the nurse."The recovery of his body is quite impressive. This is a unique phenomenon and step. Every cell can mutate smarter than it would in an ordinary person."Bryce's vision seemed to be impaired by the amount of light they were shining at him. From what Bryce could see, it looked like he was in an operat
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 18: Changing Choices
In martial arts, Champions are divided into five classes: Beginner, Able, Advanced, Expert, and Master.Bryce was once a top-tier Master Champion, one of the best in the martial arts world."Never mind, there are only a few expert champions in Novaria. I'll try hard with what I have now. I will use this time to recover fully. Just wait for my vengeance, Anne and the Lords! Once I regain my strength, I will finish you off!" Bryce muttered with mixed emotions.Bryce stared into the distance, the aura inside him cooling. An hour later, Bryce stood in front of a three-storey villa. Bryce had lived in that villa for two years."That useless Bryce lived with us for two years. He did nothing but disrupt our lives. Then, today, he embarrassed me in front of the whole family. Where do I put my face? Veronica, I know you got married because you were aiming for the headship and were rewarded handsomely at the time. So why did you choose that loser instead?"

"Bryce Milano!"Veronica scolded, "Are you out of your mind? Sure, you're a Milano, but that doesn't mean you're from that honourable family. Are you pretending to be Mr Grant to get rid of this family?"Bryce had to watch Veronica's expression as she looked at him contemptuously. The woman continued, "This divorce is not going to happen. We have signed a contract for two years, and five months remain. After that, I will leave you even if I do not become the head of this family. Before that, you won't be able to go anywhere."Veronica thought that she understood everything. Bryce's strange behaviour and excuses must be a ploy to get Veronica to divorce him. Veronica turns and leaves.Watching her leave, Bryce reflected on what had just happened."Bryce, come out!"Not long after, someone banged loudly on the Villa's door.Lexy opened the door with a start. A dozen burly men in black were standing outside. In front of them stood Bruno and a young man.The young man was wearing a white
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 20: Looking Different
Seeing what had just happened, a big question arose in Veronica and Lexy's minds.Bruno's mouth dropped open. He knew Bryce was stronger than him, but he did not expect Bryce to be able to take down a bunch of burly men easily.Cory was stunned, his eyes amazed."Tell me, what should I do to you?" Bryce asked Bruno as he walked up to him."Don't come any closer, Mr Sullivan, help me!" Bruno was terrified.As if not hearing, Cory did not move at all."I promised to break both your legs, and I'll keep it now."Bryce Latas kicked Bruno.CRACK!There was the sound of something cracking. Bruno fell, both legs broken by Bryce."Bryce, you..." Veronica looked at Bryce. She was still shocked to see the paralysed Bruno.Lexy was stunned after witnessing Bryce's brutality. She recalled Bryce's cold stare, and her heart felt like it would burst.As if nothing had happened, Bryce looked very calm. Bryce broke bo
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 21: Complaining and Reporting
Finley called Veronica's small family in the morning and invited her to a family gathering."We're finished! That old man must be furious about the Bruno thing!"Hurriedly, Lexy knocked on Bryce's bedroom door.As soon as Bryce came out, Lexy snapped, "Bryce, you're such a troublemaker! Come with us and apologise to the old man. Tell him it's all your fault. Veronica had nothing to do with it. You must obey all their orders. You must do so even if they ask you to bend the knee!"Lexy knew one thing. Although Bryce was arrogant, he wouldn't dare go against Lexy, which gave Lexy the courage to yell at him and order him around. Bryce remained silent, ignoring Lexy.Veronica said, "Mum, I admit that Bryce and I should have been more gentle yesterday, but it's still Bruno's fault! Why do we have to apologise? I'm sure Grandpa will make a wise decision."Not long after, Veronica and her three family members arrived at the Finleys' stately home.
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 22: Forced to Divorce
Just then, several servants arrived with stun sticks. They were all preparing to attack Bryce.Seeing all of them wanting to hurt him made Bryce grin. The workers were waiting to attack Bryce directly, so Bryce quickly prepared his stance."Grandpa! Bryce has been suffering from something so horrible lately that he's a little out of his mind. Please forgive Bryce!" Veronica approached Bryce frantically, reasoning that she was helping her husband.Bryce saw his wife trying to defend him. The woman explained that Bryce wanted to defend his pride, which had been trampled on for almost two years."My mind is made up. You must divorce Bryce! I already have a new husband in mind for you. He's better than a rubbish man like him," Finley would not withdraw her words.Bryce, who heard this, remained silent as he watched Veronica's face darken while Tiana and Marella smiled happily."Grandpa, you promised yesterday! If I can find Mr Grant of the Milan

"Hector wins.""Hector is an immortal and will never lose.""No matter how strong Bryce was, his strength could not possibly exceed Hector's. In the end, Bryce was swallowed by a giant dragon."Instantly, the crowd erupted in cheers."Bryce, you were great, even though you died in the end. If you had survived, you would have become an important figure in Novaria one day. What a pity."Rey felt sorry for Bryce."Bryce, finally, you're dead."Jaeden was delighted and smiled brightly."That's too bad. If Bryce hadn't died, I would have invited him to my court."The noble youth regretted it.However, when everyone was complaining and celebrating at the same time, Hector's dragon body suddenly trembled.Then, a crack appeared in his abdomen.Hector felt a change in his body and lowered his head to look at his body, revealing something unbelievable.It was Bryce who came.He is not dead yet.<
Chapter 205: Unbelievable
The lake was calm again.No one wants to believe that the great Hector is dead.Hector is a dragon.Hector was Novaria's pride.Although created from water, Hector is still a dragon.However, Hector had just been beheaded by Bryce."Impossible, impossible," Many spectators stared at the lake in confusion and continued to whisper.Suddenly, bubbles appeared in the centre of the lake.The sound from the lake grew louder.People in the neighbourhood also heard this sound."Look, what is it?"People were startled by the sound and looked to the centre of the lake.A pair of horns appeared in the centre of the lake.Then, a giant dragon's head emerged from the water, and then its body appeared.In the end, an intact water dragon floated on the surface of the water.This marvellous sight surprised many people.Is this the water dragon that Bryce decapitated?"Sky. You think you killed me, don't you?
Chapter 204: Secret Techniques
At that moment, Hector's dragon incarnate coiled in the air, looking at Bryce from a distance.Bryce, on the other hand, just looked down on the dragon.In the eyes of the audience, this is a duel between an immortal and an ordinary human being.Hector as an immortal and Bryce as an ordinary human.Ordinary humans cannot defeat immortals, so Bryce would definitely not be able to fight Hector.However, Bryce's facial expression did not change in the slightest. He remained calm as he faced the giant dragon.In fact, Bryce was surprised.Bryce had no idea that Hector could create such a secret technique.Other people may not understand the secret technique, but Bryce can understand it easily.This secret technique is extremely powerful and can increase Hector's strength from the Intermediate Stage Expert level to the Late Stage.The gap between each level of experts is huge. Four Intermediate-stage experts cannot defeat a Late-stage expert.That was enough to show how powerful this secre

"Impressive." Bryce praised with a laugh.He raised and swung his hand into the air. The water net was cut and stopped in mid-air.The people around were surprised to see that.They had no idea that Bryce was so extraordinary that he could control Hector's magic tricks.At that instant, Bryce rushed over to Hector. The fingers of Bryce's left hand turned into a knife and the Knife Spirit gathered."Sky, you're fooled. You think the Water Thread Net is just like that?"Instead of feeling scared, Hector felt satisfied when Bryce approached him. As soon as Hector clenched his fist in a reverse position, the water in the air surrounded Bryce like a storm.Hector knew that it would not be easy to face Bryce, so he pretended to lose. He waited for the opportunity to give Bryce the killing blow.The people watching understood."No wonder Hector's beautiful attack was so easily defeated. It turned out to be Hector's trick. He ha
Chapter 202: Great Abilities
Bryce mocked Hector and felt that Hector was not his equal.He underestimated Hector.Hector was a calm man, but he was furious at Bryce's taunts.Everyone was surprised by Bryce's words.Bryce must be crazy. He was an Intermediate Stage Expert, but so was Hector.How dare she speak to Hector in such a tone."Bryce, you're really cocky. I hope this isn't just your bluff."Then, Hector moved. His movement made a huge sound.Hector leapt into the air, meanwhile, his feet created a huge wave."Show me your skills, Bryce."Hector laughed and leapt into the air and lunged at Bryce.Bryce stood still and his eyes glittered with a cold stare. "All right. You asked for it. What can I do."Hector moved with lightning speed and arrived in front of Bryce. He put his hands together.Then two large whirlpools were formed by Hector's Internal Energy."Destroy it."Bryce held up one finger and

"What? He died?"All members of the Horan Family were shocked at the sight.Originally, they wanted Layne to fight with Bryce so that they could both get rid of their anger.They thought that Layne could kill Bryce quickly. However, they were surprised that Bryce killed Layne with just one move.Rey and the others were shocked and couldn't believe what had just happened."How is that possible? I thought Bryce was a fake expert. How could he kill Layne so easily?"Rey mumbled and her eyes widened. She thought Bryce would be killed without her help.However, the opposite was true. Bryce killed Layne with just one move.Therefore, there was no doubt that Bryce was a true expert and he was much stronger than Layne.Could Bryce be an Intermediate Stage Expert?No, no way.It had been a while since Rey became a Brawler and she was still an Intermediate Stage Expert. Bryce is also still young.Among the young Brawlers, James is the greatest in the Martial Arts Union. However, he has yet to r

Everyone turned their heads in amazement at the sight of the person who had just spoken.Is that person Sky?Rey and the others were closer to Bryce. So, they knew in advance who had just spoken.Surprisingly, he was Bryce."Bryce, you're crazy, aren't you? Why would you show up in a situation like this?" Rey scolded Bryce."What? You think you're an expert? What they want is Sky, not Bryce.""That's right. this is a battle between Intermediate Stage Experts, and you're just an Advanced Champion.""Bryce, this is not child's play. We're talking about the best fighter. If anyone messes up the duel, he will definitely be killed.""Step back. Don't block our view." The talented person beside Rey could not help but shout.On the other hand, Jaeden smiled mockingly.He considered Bryce not only arrogant, but stupid as well.In addition, Bryce may also be imagining being Mr Sky.As an Early Stage Expert, J
Chapter 199: The Excited Arrival
Rey asked in a curious tone.Bryce really doesn't get along with Rey.Rey thought Bryce had gone to Umbrella City with Veronica, but Bryce showed up here before Rey got the news of his return.Rey felt cheated by Bryce.He needed an explanation from Bryce.However, it seemed like Bryce did not hear her and ignored Rey."You didn't hear? Are you deaf or stupid? Explain." Rey, who was annoyed, shouted at Bryce.Bryce turned to look at Rey and replied nonchalantly, "Explanation? Do I need to explain what I did to you?"You can come here. Why can't I?"Then, Bryce looked away and turned his back to Rey."You,"Rey's face turned grim and his eyes widened in anger. However, she decided not to continue.If there weren't so many people here, Rey would have kicked Bryce hard.The elites beside Rey witnessed everything."Look. He was very rude to Mr Carter. I should have taught him a lesson three
Chapter 198: The Wanted Figure
"Although he used special magic to become an Expert Brawler, the truth is that Sky is still at the Late Stage of Proficiency. Adept-level champions and above should accept the challenge of fighting. Otherwise, Sky's ability will be tarnished.His faith in martial arts will also be shaken. He will find it very difficult to improve his skills in the future."Sky is still very young. So, he must be proud of himself and won't let his confidence waver. I'm sure he'll come." Layne said while stroking his beard."Then I can rest easy." Juan breathed a sigh of relief."Plus, when Sky appears, I'll ask Mr Burley to allow me to fight on his behalf. If Mr Burley agrees, I can avenge my nephews' anger." Layne replied.According to Layne, an Advanced Brawler like Sky was no match for him.On the other side of the slope.There were two men in beautiful silk robes gazing at the vastness of Lake Ganboia.One of them was a young man, while the other was a middle-aged man.At first glance, they look li
