It was truly unusual. "How is this even possible? The pony outran a Thoroughbred?""What the hell just happened? How could he have won?""What the hell was Roxanne doing? Why didn't she just gallop straight to the finish line? Why did she waste time?"After Dustin won, the entire scene was thrown into chaos. Everyone gaped in disbelief, finding it hard to accept. In the beginning, they were certain that Roxanne would win. The horse race proceeded exactly as expected, with Midnight Shadow dominating the entire course. However, no one could have predicted that at the last moment, Midnight Shadow would suddenly falter and refuse to run.What just happened? Was it a protest? A tantrum? "We won! We won! Dustin won!" After collecting herself, Sheila beamed as she cheered and leaped for joy. She couldn't believe that Dustin had won even after choosing a pony. It was truly astonishing!"This guy was lucky. He won just like that." Vivian was irritated. "What the fuck? How? H

"Oh my God!" The crowd was shocked as they watched Roxanne fly in the air. Nobody expected Midnight Shadow to kick her. They could hear bones cracking even from afar. "Roxanne!" Jayden screamed and rushed up to her anxiously. He turned her over and was shocked at what he saw. Her face had been disfigured till it was hard to recognize her. It was a frightening sight. Although he had basic medical knowledge, it was limited to treating minor injuries like setting dislocated bones. There was nothing he could do about her injury."Quick! Someone call a doctor!" When he realized the severity of the situation, Jayden started yelling. His words snapped everyone into action. Soon, a severely injured Roxanne was carried away. Jayden's group departed with her in a hurry. Before Jayden left, he glared at Dustin, full of hatred. "That was terrifying. She flew a few feet away. Can the doctors even save her appearance?""She can only blame herself. She lost, so why did she have to b

"Thank you, Ms. Nicholson, but that won't be necessary." Dustin shook his head without taking the name card. "What?" Dahlia raised her eyebrow, surprised. "Are you sure you don't want to think about it?"There were only a few people who would reject her offer. Dustin not only rejected it altogether, he didn't even hesitate."No, thank you. Being an insurance agent is pretty good. I won't adapt to a corporate lifestyle." Dustin declined again. "Hey! Do you know how many people are dying to get into Ms. Nicholson's company? She's giving you a chance, don't be ungrateful!" Elena said arrogantly.As Sir Mosey's goddaughter, even the aristocrats in Oakvale had to show Dahlia respect. How dare an insurance agent decline her offer? He was disrespectful!"Why don't you take the offer instead? I don't need it." Dustin glanced at her coldly."You—!" Elena was about to retort when Dahlia raised her hand to stop her."Forget about it. Since he refused, I won't force him. I'll be off

"Uncle Edgar, these are my friends! What are you doing?" Sheila was shocked and stood before her friends with her arms wide open."Hmph! They're nothing but a bunch of troublemakers! "Just one look and you could tell that they're bad influences! Now, step aside!" Edgar roared."No! They're innocent! You can't hurt them!" Sheila reasoned."Mr. Murray, we didn't do anything. This is a misunderstanding!" Vivian hastily explained."That's right! It was an accident that Roxanne got hurt. It has nothing to do with us!" The group was panicking.Edgar was a very decisive man and held authority within the family. It would only lead to trouble if they were to be apprehended by him. Even if they escaped death, they would probably still be tortured."Still trying to argue your way out? If it wasn't for your schemes, how would Midnight Shadow have suddenly gone berserk? "Do you think I'm stupid?" Edgar bellowed.Based on the information he received earlier, he found two aspects of the

Edgar had a dark, hostile expression."I won't!" Sheila bit her lips, not moving."You—!" Edgar raised his arm, about to strike her again, when Dustin grabbed him.He said coldly, "Try that again, and I'll break your arm!" "You impudent bastard!""Let go of Sir Edgar!" The soldiers advanced toward them. Their fiery stares fixated on Dustin and their gun aimed at him. "Stop it right there!" Suddenly, someone roared from the outside.Everyone turned to look to see a middle-aged man with a heroic appearance rush in with a beautiful lady.It was Sheila's parents, Caden Murray and Lily Doyle."Edgar, what exactly did Sheila do that you have to point a gun at her?" Caden questioned coldly.He saw that slap as clear as day."Caden, Roxanne was harmed and is still lying at the hospital. I'm just trying to track down the culprit," Edgar stated firmly."Are you implying that Shiela is the culprit?" Caden asked with narrowed eyes."Sheila may not be the culprit, but her friends w

"Mr. Caden, are you threatening me?" Dustin's smile disappeared after hearing those harsh words.From the start, he had been displeased with Caden. He disliked that he was untrustworthy and never stayed faithful to his promises. "It's a warning if you heed my advice; It's a threat if you don't," Caden admitted without reservations."Let me repeat myself. Sheila and I are just friends; I've never had ulterior motives. "It's best that we don't interfere in each other's business," Dustin stated calmly. "Brat, it seems like you still don't get it." Caden's expression was frosty. "What makes an utterly worthless character like you think that you are worthy of being friends with my daughter? Please take a look in the mirror and have a clear look at yourself. "The Murray family is not a place for opportunistic freeloaders like yourself."What was once a threat had now turned into a blatant insult. "Caden Murray. Don't be so full of yourself. You better drop your cocky attitud

Dustin said seriously, "Caden Murray, the Soul Devouring Technique is a crash course for those out of options. "If you continue down this path, you'll meet a violent end sooner or later!""Nonsense! I'm stronger than ever now! I can take on a thousand-man army without fear!" Caden roared. "Being strong is all an illusion. Right now, your body is deteriorating fast. If you continue in your foolishness, you'll only end up harming yourself and those around you!" Dustin warned. An instant death was considered merciful for those who practiced the Soul Devouring Technique. The real danger was if they went to extremes in training. They would go berserk and not recognize their loved ones, killing everyone they saw. That was why the nearest and dearest to them often suffered from their madness. There might even come a day when Sheila will be killed by Caden."Brat! You can stop with the nonsense now. Even if you come up with the most ridiculous stories, I won't spare you!" Caden sne

In the end, Dustin entered an antique study at Christopher's invitation. After they were served coffee, they started chatting."Kid, it's been ten years, hasn't it? You look like a completely new person compared to back then!" Christopher looked him up and down in astonishment. Ten years ago, Dustin was known as Dragonmarsh's number-one talent. He was young, arrogant, and rebellious. But today, he had transformed into a reserved man, hiding his abilities and talent."Ten years have passed, and you are still as dignified and graceful as ever," Dustin complimented. "I'm getting old. I'm not as imposing as I used to be." Christopher shook his head with a smile. "Kid, I don't think you came because you missed me. Do you have something to discuss?""To be honest, I'm here to visit you. But I'm also here to ask for a favor," Dustin went straight to the point.He even placed a gift he had prepared on the table as he spoke."Oh? What is it?" Christopher sipped on his coffee as he

Mulder knew Warrick had been on the battlefield for years, and his physical strength was unmatched. On top of that, he was already halfway to becoming an ultimate grandmaster. Even if Warrick couldn't defeat the prodigious Logan, Mulder figured the difference wouldn't be too big. But he never expected Logan to take down Warrick with a single finger, leaving him severely injured and unable to stand. The difference in their strength was far beyond anything Mulder could have imagined.In other words, Logan had been toying with them from the start and didn't take the fight seriously. If he had, they would've all been dead.Warrick clutched his chest and coughed up blood as he staggered to his feet. His chest was a charred ruin, the flesh torn open and slick with blood. It was an awful, gory mess."I didn't expect you to be this strong. I underestimated you," he growled.He slowly raised his head, and his face twisted with a menacing look. "Guess I was just unlucky to fall into your

"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
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2509
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
An Understated Dominance 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
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2506
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
