An Understated Dominance Chapter 796
"Azalea Larson?" Abigail was puzzled. Abigail knew the woman's surname was Larson, but her name was Mandy Larson. "Are you going to deny it? Do I have to tear off your mask?" Dustin asked. "Your eyes are getting better. I spent so much time dressing up, but it wasn't enough to fool you." Azalea giggled flirtatiously. "Is your name really Azalea?" Abigail frowned. She felt like she was tricked. "I'm Azalea, but I'm also Mandy. I never lied to you," Azalea explained with a smile. "What are you doing here?" Dustin demanded. He was always on high alert whenever he was near this crazy woman. After all, it was difficult to believe someone who murdered their mentor and offered their mentor's head to the Harmon family. "Aww, aren't we friends by now? Can't you treat me more warmly?" Azalea circled Dustin like a snake eyeing a mouse. "What happened between us can only be considered a business partnership, definitely not friendship." Dustin was unfazed. "That makes me sad.

Dustin frowned and stepped back to put some space between their bodies. "I won't expose your identity, but you better behave yourself. I'll be watching you.""You'll be watching me?" Azalea bit her bottom lip invitingly. "I'll be showering later. Will you also watch me?""You're crazy!" Dustin ignored her and walked past her to go upstairs. He was certain she wasn't up to anything for now, but he was still wary of witches like her. The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Dustin was out with Abigail for their morning practice when a black sedan pulled up at their entrance. The car door opened, and Patrick stepped out with a smile. "Congratulations, Dustin." Patrick congratulated Dustin. "The results for yesterday's tests are out. You passed the test and have been chosen to lead four other martial artists to represent the Glenstead martial arts alliance!""Really? That's great." Dustin smiled softly, not surprised by the news.It would be more surprising if someo

"What?" The sudden accusation took Dustin aback. "Dominic is dead?""That's right. It's all your fault, you murderer!" Gianna shouted angrily. "Don't be stupid. What does his death have to do with me? Don't pin the blame on me," Dustin replied. "Stop lying! Dominic wouldn't have died if it weren't for your tricks!" Gianna shouted. "Did you think we won't discover that you intentionally kept the lever at the max so you could trick Dominic into entering the pressure machine. The moment the door closed, Dominic exploded!" Devon growled. Dustin was speechless by their stupid accusations. He had merely forgotten to return the lever to its initial position. How could he have known that someone would be stupid enough to start the machine without looking at the lever?He had never met such a dumb bunch. It was ridiculous that he was blamed for such an ignorant incident. "First of all, I didn't plan anything, so I had nothing to do with Dominic's death. He died because of his act

Ginna burst into tears as she watched the venom spread further, terrified. Her arrogant attitude from earlier disappeared. Without a word, Jared swung his sword and sliced Gianna's arm off. Flustered, Gianna stared at her arm lying on the floor and looked at her shoulder. After she realized what had happened, she cried before passing out. "Once the tournament ends, I'll make you pay for your actions!" Jared spat before leading his men away. "Dustin, Jared isn't someone you want as your enemy. You should be careful." Patrick warned. "He should be the one who's careful," Dustin replied. If it weren't for Patrick, he would have killed Jared. "It's almost time. Let's go and find Grandpa." Patrick gestured and led them into a luxurious lakeside villa. The spacious villa had a rustic charm and a huge courtyard where everyone was resting. Meanwhile, Paul was chatting comfortably in the villa's living room with a middle-aged man. It was none other than the leader of Balerno m

"What? Poisoned?" Everyone paled. It was no coincidence that three participants were poisoned on the day of the tournament. "How could this happen? Who did it?" Ronald growled. "We don't know yet. We're still investigating." The worker shook his head. "Bring me to them!" Ronald headed out hurriedly. Workers had closed all the exits at the temporary training grounds to stop everyone from leaving. When Ronald and the others arrived, they saw three strong men lying unconscious in the center. Their breathing was faint, and their faces were ashen. But their lips had turned black. "It's an extremely potent venom!" Ronald was displeased. The three men were martial artists on The Heavenly Immortals and were crucial to their tournament. What was he supposed to do now that they were poisoned?"Hurry, get someone from Stoneray Order!" Ronald ordered. "No need for such hassle. Dustin can take care of this," Paul said. Even Nicholas hadn't been able to treat him back when he
An Understated Dominance Chapter 801
A gentle breeze that carried the subtle scent of earth ruffled everywhere. Many had gathered around Shinefield Lake, and the tension in the air was high as the two alliances faced off. The tournament was held in the middle of the lake, where an arena 100 meters long had been built days ago. The lake surrounded the platform, so they would need to reach it by boat. The contestants representing the Balerno martial arts alliance had gathered inside a gazebo at the South, where Ronald got three substitutes to replace the three poisoned men. Although these men weren't as strong as the earlier three, it was still better than nothing. "Today's tournament is extremely important." Ronald's expression was serious as he looked at each of them. "The Balerno martial arts alliance's reputation rests on your shoulders, so please work together. I await the good news!" He lowered his head respectfully. "Don't worry, Sir! We'll beat those guys up!" The new members were full of confidenc

"Uh …" Those from the Balerno martial arts alliance were stunned to see Fatty fall into the lake. It would have been fine if he wanted to show off, but how could he fall in? This was a tournament, for goodness' sake, not a circus performance!This was utterly embarrassing for the Balerno martial arts alliance. "That fucking loser!" Jared seethed, ashamed since he had just praised Fatty for his skills. "Pfft! Why would he embarrass himself when he's such a weakling?""Fuck off if you're a loser. Stop humiliating yourself!""Are all Balerno martial artists so weak? Is this even a competition?"Glenstead martial artists burst out in laughter and mocked. "He was too proud." Even Ronald was embarrassed by the sight. After all, martial artists that were hastily chosen were no good. "It'll be hard to win the first match." Paul shook his head. Why did Fatty have to waste his true energy to show off? In the end, he embarrassed himself and depleted more than half of his true en
An Understated Dominance Chapter 803
Besides throwing his darts, Fatty also threw a punch toward his opponent. That way, even if his weapons failed to hit the target, his punch would still be able to hit the man in red. "Such useless tricks!" The man in red sneered before whipping his spear around to slap the darts away. Immediately after sweeping the final dart aside, the man thrust his spear forward at an incredible speed. Before Fatty had time to reach, the spear had impaled his shoulder, throwing him backward. "You—!"Fatty tried to get up, but the spear's tip was already resting against his throat. He'd be killed if he made any sudden movements now. "You've lost," The man in red said condescendingly. "W—who on earth are you?" Fatty was terrified. He never imagined that he'd be beaten so quickly and effortlessly. "Listen well. I'm Oscar Winston, and I'm the eleventh on The Heavenly Immortals," the man in red announced proudly. "Eleventh on The Heavenly Immortals?" Fatty was shocked. No wonder his opp

"Oh? You guessed it?" Dustin smirked. "Now that you know who I am, it's up to you to decide what to do."If Warrick chose to surrender, Dustin would simply seal his pressure points and leave him to Austin's judgment. But if he resisted, Dustin wouldn't hesitate to cripple him."Haven't you given up your title as the prince? Why did you return? Are you going to compete with Austin for the throne?" Warrick asked.Uncertainty flickered across his face before he continued, "If that's your intention, I can help you. Spare me today, and I guarantee you'll become the next Prince of West Lucozia."Power was a tempting beast. History was filled with stories of brothers turning against each other and fathers murdering their sons for it.In Warrick's mind, Logan's quiet return to West Lucozia meant one thing—he was after the throne."Guarantee?" Dustin scoffed. "What guarantee are you offering?" His voice was dripping with disdain. "You're a cornered rat now. You're barely holding on to you

"Warrick's blade technique is terrifying," Mulder mumbled. "This should be the finishing blow, right?"Watching from a distance, he was awestruck by the dazzling blade aura. Only now did he truly grasp the sheer gulf between Warrick and Dustin.Warrick's strike descended with such overwhelming force that it seemed to split the earth and obliterate everything in its path. Even from 300 feet away, the pressure rolling off it sent a chill down Mulder's spine.Under Mulder's stunned gaze, Warrick brought his full weight down, with blade and body merging into a single force that swallowed Dustin whole.The instant they clashed, an incandescent explosion of light erupted. It was so blinding that Mulder couldn't even open his eyes.A split second later, a deafening blast erupted, and a shockwave shot outward like a tidal surge. The force flattened the waves and overturned several fishing boats docked at the pier.Even Mulder, more than 300 feet away, was caught in the blast and tumbled

"So what if I am? And what if I push even further?" Dustin's smile slowly faded. "If you don't like it, do something about it."There was no reasoning with tyrants like Warrick."Punk, are you really willing to risk your life against me? Have you ever considered what happens if you lose?" Warrick's face turned grim as a wave of killing intent spread from him.He had already taken a step back to avoid unnecessary trouble. If Dustin refused to back down, there was no choice but to fight."Cut the crap. You wanna fight, fight." Dustin didn't bother with more words. With a flick of his wrist, a silver needle shot out and aimed toward Warrick's forehead—silent, unassuming, but deadly."Hmm?" Warrick's brow furrowed as he instinctively raised his arm. Sparks flew as the needle deflected off his arm and buried into the ground."Oh? You've mastered the Adamantine Body Technique?" Dustin narrowed his eyes. At that instant, he saw through Warrick's technique. Not only was he halfway

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
Chapter 2507
"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.
