An Understated Dominance Chapter 1649
"An ultimate grandmaster … Sir Anders' strike is definitely one of an ultimate grandmaster's!" The Silver Sage was looking up with awe and shock. He had thought Logan was a force to be reckoned with, but he didn't expect Anders to be even stronger. Reaching the realm of a grandmaster yet displaying the skills of an ultimate grandmaster was simply unimaginable!Was this what they called an unparalleled prodigy? He would never be able to catch up to him in his lifetime. "Wow! What a powerful strike. Just how many people in the world could defend against it?" Madam Monroe was left dumbfounded and utterly shaken. She had considered herself skilled, but her skills felt inconsequential in the presence of a powerhouse like Anders."Incredible! If I had even half of Sir Anders' skills, I'd be filled with pride!" The disciples of Nexus Gate were both shocked, awed, and even slightly envious. They finally understood what it meant to be a true prodigy."Hmph! Nothing but showy moves!
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1650
Right then, Anders' body convulsed, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Instantly, his face turned pale, and the Frostflame Demonblade he was holding was thrust into the ground with a clang, used to support his slightly trembling body. It was evident that Anders had been seriously injured in their last clash. "What?"The entire crowd was in shock at the scene before them. Their eyes were wide open, and everyone was in disbelief.Anders had lost? How was that possible? Anders was the strongest of the four Gods of War, an enemy of thousands on the battlefield. The power he displayed earlier had been comparable to that of an ultimate grandmaster. How could such a powerhouse be defeated?Was Dustin really so strong that not even Anders matched him? "You ... You've been hiding your true strength all along?"Anders gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, looking incredulous. He had given it his all in the previous strike, thinking he could eliminate Logan eas
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1651
"Huh?"When Dustin's gaze flickered over to Anders, Anders was taken aback, feeling inexplicably uneasy. Earlier, while the Fang Legion was buying him time, he had swallowed a pill to heal himself faster and restore his vitality. After a few minutes of rest, the discomfort from his internal injuries had disappeared, and most of his energy had been restored. In contrast, Dustin must have used up most of his energy from the continuous fighting. In this situation, he still had a chance of winning. Anders gained more confidence from the thought of this. However, to be on the safe side, it would be best to overwhelm Dustin with numbers. Even if it wouldn't be an honorable win, it was better than taking unnecessary risks alone. "Dear heroes, Logan is almost out of energy. If we join forces, we will surely succeed in slaying him!" Anders declared loudly. Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged doubtful glances. Dustin didn't appear to be tired. If they approached him rashly, th

The Silver Sage was pleasantly surprised, looking like he had found a savior. Despite the Stormfire Order's reputable status, they were leagues behind the Celestial Alliance.As early as two years ago, there were rumors that Fenley had already glimpsed the threshold of an ultimate grandmaster. An extraordinary talent like him was truly unparalleled."With Fenley on our side, there's no way for Logan to escape!" Madam Monroe's eyes gleamed with delight.Just moments ago, she had been considering seizing the opportunity to flee for her life. Now, such considerations were unnecessary since Fenley's presence had instilled a sense of peace. "Greetings, Sir Hudson!" The moment Fenley landed, the crowd immediately showered him with the utmost respect."Esteemed heroes, kindly step back and leave the battle to me," Fenley announced with a resounding voice."Yes, sir!" The crowd acknowledged him in unison, promptly positioning themselves on both sides.They were eager to just stand on t

"Hey guys, who do you think is stronger between Logan and Fenley?" "If both are at their peak, it's hard to say. It would depend on how they improvise." "Nonsense! Of course, it's Sir Hudson! Logan is already past his prime, and Sir Hudson is the true unparalleled genius now!" "I also think Sir Hudson has a better chance of winning. After all, Logan had just finished a battle and must be tired."As the martial artists took in the confrontation between Dustin and Fenley on the field, they began to whisper and speculate. Since both were top-tier talents and seemingly unattainable existences, their public face-off inevitably generated high expectations. However, most of them leaned toward Fenley.Fenley had become widely renowned and seemingly unstoppable in recent years. He seemed poised to be invincible. Although Dustin was powerful, he was still relying on his past glory. Compared to Fenley's current dominance, he would still fall somewhat short."Get on with it, both of y

The illusory image was enveloped in swirling flames. The scorching heat looked like it could melt the ground."Fury of Fire God!"As his energy reached its peak, Fenley thrust both palms forward forcefully. The illusory Fire God behind him instantly mirrored his motion. Following that, a crimson-flaming dragon shot forth, lunging toward Dustin."Vermilion Bird!" Dustin's energy transformed once more and materialized above his head into a massive, flaming divine bird."Soar!" The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, making it rain sparks. Then, it shot forward like an arrow released from the bow, colliding with Fenley's flaming dragon in a resounding clash.Another explosion rang out. While the Vermilion Bird exploded on the spot and dispersed into a myriad of firelights, the flaming dragon shattered into pieces upon impact. Once again, both sides found themselves in a stalemate. Fenley was not surprised by the outcome, unleashing his third move instead. He took a deep brea

"Here it comes! The ultimate move of the Four Elements of God's Technique is finally coming!" "There's a rumor that no one has ever witnessed the Fury of Lightning God since everyone who's seen it is already dead. I can't believe we will have the privilege of witnessing one of the five supreme skills of the martial world today.""Considering Logan's identity, it's an honor for him to die from the Four Elements of God's Technique." Looking at Fenley rise gracefully into the air with an imposing and majestic aura, the crowd couldn't help but feel awed as if looking up to a God.The Four Elements of God's Technique was not only the Celestial Alliance guildmaster's signature skill, it was also recognized as one of the five supreme skills in the martial world. They had only heard about it but had never witnessed it before.The previous three techniques were already very impressive, and now, as Fenley prepared to unleash the strongest move, nobody had an idea of how terrifying it co
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1656
The moment the Lightning God manifestation crumbled, Fenley coughed up a mouthful of blood as if dealt a heavy blow. His face turned as pale as paper, and he staggered, appearing completely drained of vitality."How is this possible? How could I lose?" Fenley stared at his hands in disbelief. For years, he had stood unrivaled, making any genius pale in comparison. He believed he would be invincible, defeating all challengers.However, today dealt him a resounding and harsh defeat. The Four Elements of God's Technique were unleashed without reservation. Logan confronted each strike head-on, devoid of defense or evasion.Every move represented a direct clash of absolute strength without compromise or trickery. Though it might seem unbelievable, Fenley must acknowledge that he had lost. With his formidable strength, Dustin had openly shattered the Four Elements of God's Technique and dismantled Fenley's invincible myth. In this battle, Fenley genuinely accepted his defeat."My goodn

"Hold on!"Seeing that he was about to be taken away, Langdon panicked and shouted, "You have no right to arrest me without a thorough investigation or a judge's ruling! This is outright brutality! You're abusing your power!"Austin scoffed. "When I tried to play fair, you pulled every dirty trick in the book. But now that I'm playing rough, you suddenly want to talk about the law? Do you really think that's going to happen?""Mr. Langdon, if you have anything to say, you can tell me in prison. We'll have plenty of time to chat." Axel strode forward with a wicked grin, clamping a firm hand on Langdon's shoulder."Wait! I still have something to say." Langdon swallowed hard. Realizing he had no way out, he finally dropped the tough act and tried a softer approach. "Austin, we're family. Do we really have to take it this far? Look, I screwed up. But can't you cut me some slack, just this once?"In the past, his silver tongue had helped him turn situations around and distort the tr

"Ledger?"Langdon's pupils contracted as he stared at the familiar red ledgers at his feet. His expression finally faltered. He had never expected the enforcement team to uncover the ledgers he had hidden in a secret compartment. Every transaction written on those pages was damning—evidence of years of collusion with officials and wealthy merchants, of bribes and embezzlement. He had kept them as leverage to ensure those officials wouldn't abandon him when things went south. But what was meant to shield him had now sealed his fate.His assets could be confiscated, and he could refuse to acknowledge his own children. But how could he possibly talk his way out of a ledger filled with his handwritten records?Langdon's frown deepened as sweat poured down his face. Before he realized it, his back was already drenched."Mr. Langdon, why are you sweating so much? Is it too hot in here? Should I have someone fan you?" Axel taunted with a sneer.The evidence they had gathered was more

"Oh? Really? Then, show them the evidence. Let everyone see for themselves." Austin said with a faint smile.Langdon swallowed hard, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.Had his entire past really been dug up in just half a day?"First, I investigated Mr. Langdon's assets and income sources," Axel said, pulling out a stack of documents and placing them on the table. He explained firmly, "His spending far exceeds his salary. He owns 18 luxury homes, dozens of high-end cars, and a private collection of gold, antiques, and famous paintings. "Altogether, his assets are worth tens of billions. Given his salary, it would take him several thousand years of saving every penny to afford that. So I have to ask—where did all this money come from?"The moment those words left his mouth, all eyes turned to Langdon.Everyone knew he was corrupt, but no one expected it to be on this scale. If his fixed assets alone were worth billions, his liquid assets must be even more staggering.

"And as for the rest of you, I'll be investigating each of you one by one." Austin's gaze moved past Langdon and landed on the royal advisors. He sneered and added, "You'd better keep your records clean. If I find anything on any of you, I'll handle it by the book, and there won't be any mercy."At these words, panic swept through the room. Everyone exchanged nervous glances, and their hearts pounded like war drums.As soon as they realized Austin was angry, they quickly fell silent. Langdon had always been making all the noise, but now they found themselves caught in the fire.Anyone who'd held a position like theirs usually had some skeletons in the closet. In the past, Rufus had been willing to turn a blind eye and let things slide. But now, Austin clearly wasn't following the usual rules. If he decided to investigate thoroughly, most of them would likely find their careers and reputations destroyed."Mr. Rhys, what do we do now? Lord Austin seems dead serious about this."

"Langdon, I can't tell if you're playing dumb or if you really are that stupid." Though Austin was smiling, his eyes were cold. He continued, "You asked for physical evidence, and I provided it. You asked for witnesses, and I gave you those too. Now, with both evidence and testimony laid bare, and even the criminal confessing, what else do you want?""Hmph! The government is rife with corruption. I'm simply seeking justice and preventing you from wrongfully killing the innocent." Langdon still held his righteous stance.Some of the royal advisors who had initially supported him now stayed silent. They could sense Austin's rising anger and didn't dare provoke him further. At that instant, they had lost their confidence. As Austin had pointed out, the solid evidence was right before them, and it was impossible to deny.Langdon was a member of the Rhys family and Austin's elder. He could afford to speak without a filter, but the others couldn't. If they truly angered Austin, the

"Sir Thatcher? Mr. Wentworth?" When Langdon saw their faces, his eyes went wide in disbelief. "You… How did you two end up like this?" He was genuinely stunned.Huxley and Percival were two of the most powerful figures in West Lucozia. They commanded respect wherever they went, and even Langdon himself had to show them deference.He never expected that they had fallen from their positions of prestige to become disheveled prisoners overnight."Austin! You've gone too far!" Recovering from his initial shock, Langdon's fury erupted. He didn't even bother with titles anymore. "Do you even realize what you're doing? These two men are pillars of West Lucozia and the prince's most trusted advisors. They're your elders and mentors. Yet, you tortured them like this. Are you even human?""He's right," someone chimed in. "They dedicated their lives to this country. What crime did they commit to deserve such cruelty by Your Highness?"The gathered officials erupted in outrage and condemned
Chapter 2486
"Your Highness, you mustn't speak such nonsense." Langdon put on a righteous front.He continued, "I've always prided myself on my integrity and never done anything dishonorable. I've never betrayed the prince's trust or let the people down, and I have nothing to hide.""Such lofty words," Austin scoffed. "If you have nothing to hide, why not let the enforcement team investigate?"Langdon's face tightened, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes. After all, what official didn't have some skeletons in the closet? A full investigation would likely turn up something, no matter how small. Even if the offenses weren't serious, the damage to his reputation would be permanent.With so many officials watching, Langdon couldn't afford to back down. If he did, he would lose his standing in the political world—and his claim to integrity along with it."Go ahead and investigate." He raised his chin and said confidently, "I've lived an honest life and never engaged in anything illegal. No m

Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn't be bothered by their so-called accusations.His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn't even listening?"Are you done?" Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. "If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you're satisfied.""Your Highness, we're here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing," Langdon said sharply."Serious matters?" Austin let out a short laugh.He went on, "You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they're facts. As far as I'm concerned, you're no different from clowns putting on a show.""You… How dare you!" Langdon

"Are you even qualified to sit while speaking to me?"Austin's words struck like the blow of a hammer. They were sharp and unrelenting, and they left no room for retort.Langdon sat frozen and was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected a brat like Austin to have such a sharp tongue.If he admitted he had come for personal matters, he would keep his pride intact, but he would lose control of the conversation. Everything he had prepared—and all the accusations he meant to throw—would be meaningless.But if he insisted it was official business, he would have to show proper respect and offer a formal greeting. No matter how he answered, he would be conceding ground."I'll ask one more time. Are you here on official or personal matters?" Austin asked coldly."O-Official matters." Cornered, Langdon barely managed to get the words out."Well? Is this how an official conducts himself?" Austin pressed.Langdon had no choice but to rise and offer a deep bow. "Your Highness, it's an h
