Meanwhile, within Azure Mist's camp, Emily was shaking her head as she looked at Vanessa. "Vanessa, stop looking. We're mere ants in the eyes of Dustin. We're worlds apart."Her eyes followed the path Dustin had taken, and she let out a deep sigh."As the chosen one, he's a force capable of overwhelming the grandmasters. We can never hope to reach his level in our lifetime."She shared the same admiration toward Dustin, who was a young grandmaster. But she was well aware that they were not in the same league. It would be best to only admire him from afar. Getting closer would only lead to nothing but frustration. "If only he wasn't so remarkable," Vanessa muttered. She looked conflicted.She had finally found someone she liked. But he was so outstanding that she felt inferior. Perhaps it was better to part ways and forget each other in the martial world. Perhaps this was the best outcome they could hope for. Yet, why was she reluctant to see him go? Could she genuinely

Linden sighed, "Right now, only the Shadowbloom and Phoenixwort can save her. "If Mr. Rhys can bring back those herbs in time, there is a greater chance for survival. But if he takes too long, I'm afraid that glimmer of hope would die out.""Oh, Dustin! Where have you gone? Why aren't you back yet?" Ruth was crying as she muttered to herself. She hadn't told her parents about Natasha yet. She was afraid they wouldn't be able to handle the shock. Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang.Following that, a bloodied Dustin staggered in with quick steps. He appeared quite disheveled. "Dr. Watkins! I found it! I found the herb!"Dustin lifted his shirt and carefully took out a black flower that was emitting a strange glow. "You found it?"Linden took a closer look and grew elated. "It really is the Shadowbloom! Excellent … This is wonderful!""Dr. Watkins, Natasha can now be saved with this Shadowbloom, right?" Dustin looked hopeful. He had traded this precious herb

After some time, Dustin woke up groggily, only to find himself lying on the bed. The sunlight that shone through the windows was slightly glaring to his eyes. "Dustin! You're finally awake!" Ruth, who had been keeping vigil by his bedside, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "How long have I been unconscious?" Dustin asked. He just woke up and was still feeling slightly disoriented."You were out for three days. Luckily, Dr. Watkins said you were fine. Or, we would have prepared for your funeral," Ruth said. "Three days? That long?" After a momentary daze, he finally remembered something."Oh, how about your sister? How is she? Is she awake yet?""My sister?" Ruth was dejected after she heard him. Lowering her head, she was choked with sobs. "Natasha … she's gone …" "What? She's dead?" Those words hit Dustin like lightning, leaving him stunned. His already pale face turned whiter. It was as if his soul had left his body. "How can that be? I-Impossible! "I fou

He could only hold on to her tightly, feeling her warmth and savoring her scent. It was only at that moment that his anxious heart finally calmed down. "I'm happy you're alive," Dustin whispered softly after a long pause. "Alright, stop hugging me. I'm starting to run out of breath," Natasha smiled knowingly. She patted Dustin gently on the back. Although she enjoyed the moment, he was hugging her a bit too tightly."Ahem … I'm sorry, I was out of line." Dustin snapped back to reality and released her immediately.He had let his emotions take over earlier. He didn't even realize what he had done."I'm happy you did that. At least it shows that you care about me," Natasha smiled sweetly. She was happy. They had gone through life and death together. It was an experience that placed her way beyond what he had with Dahlia. So what if they'd been married before? They'd even risked their lives for each other!"Dear, rest up. I'll go check if your medicine is ready."Natasha ti

"My dear, it's time to take your medicine." While Dustin was chatting with Cornelius, a melodious female voice rang out. They saw Natasha walk in gracefully with a steaming bowl in her hands.She had an enchanting smile and a rosy complexion. She carefully brought the medicinal soup to Dustin's lips. "Come on, my dear, drink up."Dustin's eyes twitched. Why did this scene seem so familiar?"My dear, what's the matter? Drink up," Natasha said with a charming smile. Her eyes carried a hint of playfulness. "Umm, can I not drink it?" Dustin was reluctant."Of course not. I personally prepared it for you."Natasha raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? You don't think I poisoned it, do you?"Dustin sighed. "Well, it will be worth it if I die by your hand." He then lifted the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.Seeing his face all puckered up, Natasha burst out in laughter. "Alright, alright, no more teasing. Let's go have dinner. I have all your favorite dishes prepared toda

"What bullshit!""Mrs. Lansky glared at her. "How can you compare that little bastard to my precious son? A strand of hair on his body is worth more than her life! "I'm warning you, grovel on your feet and apologize now! Or you won't like what's going to happen to you!" "Mrs. Lansky! Can you be reasonable? It's clearly your son's fault. Why should we be the ones to apologize?" Cecilia said with a frown. Without hesitation, Mrs. Lansky delivered a harsh slap across Cecilia's face. She yelled, "I told you to apologize, so just apologize! What's all this nonsense? If you challenge me again, I'll tear your mouth apart!""You—" Cecilia clenched her teeth, seething in anger. She didn't expect Mrs. Lansky to be so unreasonable. Not only did they refuse to apologize for their mistake, they even resorted to violence.They were being too much!"Don't hit my mum!" Haley stood in front of her mother with outstretched hands. She looked angry. "You're a bad person! An old witch! I'm
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1028
The unexpected scene shocked everyone present. Nobody could have predicted that someone would actually hit Mrs. Lansky's son.Everyone knew that Mrs. Lansky was infamous for being a tyrant in this area. Nobody dared to offend her. "Oh my God! My son!" After a momentary shock, Mrs. Lansky screamed. She rushed forward clumsily and wrapped the disoriented, chubby kid in her arms.The little kid now had a crooked nose and busted lips. His mouth was also covered in blood, with two front teeth missing. Half of his face was extremely red and swollen. "Son! Don't scare me like this! Wake up!" Mrs. Lansky was panicking and pinched his nose repeatedly to wake him up. It was only after he woke up that she calmed down slightly. However, very soon, her expression turned hideous. She screamed, "Who was it that hit my son? Who was it? Reveal yourself!" She turned around, looking like she was about to commit murder."It was me!" Dustin stepped forward with a dark expression. His gaze tu

The crowd pointed and whispered, astonished at Dustin's outrageous behavior. A simple apology would have resolved this matter. But now, it had escalated into a major issue. With Mrs. Lansky beaten up so badly, Dustin would probably end up with broken limbs. Worse still, he could be buried alive!Dustin delivered another slap that knocked Mrs. Lansky to the ground. He demanded, "Tell me, who exactly are you?"Mrs. Lansky's face was beaten up so badly that she felt dizzy and disoriented. She couldn't even tell left from right. "Stop it!" Right then, the kindergarten's headmistress pushed through the crowd in a frantic rush. Seeing Mrs. Lansky's swollen face, she was shocked and quickly helped her onto a chair. "Oh my, Mrs. Lansky! What happened to you? Who did this to you?"Mrs. Lansky's arm shook as she pointed at Dustin."How dare you!" The headmistress turned around and roared, "Who are you? How dare you lay your hands on Mrs. Lansky? Do you have any idea of the troub

"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

"Damn you, Mulder! You've really screwed me over this time." Axel gnashed his teeth as rage boiled inside him. Mulder's betrayal hadn't just implicated Axel's sister, but it had also dragged Axel himself into the mess.Mulder had climbed the ranks to assistant chief of the City Defenders in just a few years, and Axel had played a major role in backing him.Now that this mess had blown up, Axel was right in the middle of it. No matter how he tried to explain, he was going to take the fall for it."Everyone, follow me! Let's capture that traitor."After learning Mulder's escape route, Axel waved his hand and led his enforcement team out at full speed.He had already messed up by failing to capture Warrick, which was a serious lapse in duty. Now, with his brother-in-law openly rebelling against them, things had only gotten worse.If Axel didn't turn this situation around and bring those traitors to justice, his days as an enforcement team captain were numbered.After a thorough s
