An Understated Dominance Chapter 1133
Dustin's expression grew serious as he realized the gravity of the situation. He knew the Dragon Rope was one of the few things that could trap a grandmaster. Renowned for its incredible sturdiness, it could withstand blades and fire. Even a grandmaster would be helpless if tied up with it. However, it was a protected item of the Martial Arts Union. No ordinary person could get their hands on it."Yes, I wove this net from Dragon Rope. It was designed to immobilize grandmaster martial artists like you," Gage explained. He continued, "I kept this ace up my sleeve just in case, and it came in handy now. So, who do you think will emerge victorious?"It was clear to him that anyone below the grandmaster level was defenseless against the Dragon Rope, no matter how good they were."Oh no! Dustin is trapped, and there's no one who can stop Duskfang!" Caden's face turned pale.Dustin's earlier display of strength had given Caden hope. But he hadn't expected Gage to have another trick
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1134
"Huh?"At that moment, Dustin, Caden and Gage couldn't hide their amazement.The Murray family and their guests looked equally incredulous and surprised.When Duskfang began the attack, they feared for Christopher's safety. As a grandmaster, it should have been easy to defeat an elderly man. But, the outcome defied all expectations.Duskfang failed to hurt Christopher and paid the ultimate price. Christopher caught him in midair without a glance. He snapped Duskfang's neck with ease—a shocking display of power."Did I … Did I see that right? Duskfang … is dead?""Oh my goodness! To defeat a grandmaster in one move? That's incredible!""So, General Murray is the real powerhouse here. We underestimated him!"A brief silence filled the air, followed by a chorus of astonishment.The onlookers stared at Christopher, their faces a mix of awe and disbelief. It was inconceivable that an almost eighty-year-old general had such extraordinary powers."Hmph! Never underestimate your oppo

"You still refuse to see reason?" Christopher asked. "This woman has manipulated you, brainwashed you. Why do you trust her more than your own family?"Gage's face hardened as he shouted, "Enough! I cut ties with you five years ago. There is no more connection between us.""You … You're beyond saving!"Christopher felt despair rising inside him. He had told him everything, but Gage wouldn't listen. He couldn't understand why Gage was so reluctant to see the truth."Christopher! Maybe I underestimated your strength in the Murray family. But if you think you have the upper hand, you're wrong."A wry smile played around Gage's lips as he pulled a whistle from his pocket and blew it.The shrill sound immediately caused a commotion. Heavily armored guards stormed into the room. Their imposing appearance struck fear into the hearts of everyone present. These guards surpassed the earlier thugs in both strength and intimidation."These are my hand-picked death warriors. A team I've ca
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1136
The sudden appearance of the black-clad assassins caught everyone by surprise. The whole sequence, from their arrival to their swift attack and the brutal end, took place in the blink of an eye.In an instant, Gage's hand-picked death warriors were decapitated. The scene unfolded so rapidly that no one had time to register what was happening.Amid a chaotic clang of metal, Gage's death warriors fell to the ground without their heads. The black-clad assassins clearly outnumbered them. Then, the assassins awaited orders as they stood on either side with the severed heads."Huh?"Gage was speechless as he stared at his fallen warriors. He had never expected such a formidable force within the Murray household. His carefully laid plans had collapsed. It was a truly startling turn of events.Slowly approaching him, Christopher spoke in a measured tone. "Gage, you overestimated yourself and underestimated the strength of the Murray family. "Did you really think five years of planni

The explosion had thrown the banquet hall into chaos. Some guests had been seriously injured, while others had tragically lost their lives. The hall was now a pile of rubble, with cries of pain, blood, and body parts scattered about."Gage?"Christopher's heart raced as he surveyed the chaotic scene. Disoriented and injured, he ran toward the blast area to find his son.His desperate search for his son proved unsuccessful, and he found only the dismembered remains of Gage. The explosion left his son unrecognizable, with only a bloody head."Gage! Gage!"Christopher held his son's mutilated body and wept bitterly. He was overcome with emotion. "Why? Why did you do this? Why were you so stupid? Why?"He couldn't understand why Gage had taken such a drastic step and even ended his life for revenge.Pain, regret, anger, and despair overwhelmed Christopher at that moment.His beloved son was gone, and his promising successor was dead. The entire Murray residence lay in ruins, all

"Bourbon, you old dog, do you think you're strong enough? Do you have what it takes?" Christopher straightened up, his eyes blazing with anger. He added, "I could've taken you down thirty years ago, and I still can.""Come on, old friend, cut out the theatrics. You may be able to fool others, but not me." Antonio sneered and shook his head. He continued, "After all those battles, you must be full of scars. And after the recent explosion and my hard palm strike, you must be badly hurt. You can't even stand up straight, can you?""If you doubt me, come and find out." Christopher motioned for Antonio to come closer, ready for a fight.Antonio eyed Christopher from head to toe, not wanting to fight him. Instead, he continued to taunt, "Old friend, losing your son has got to hurt. I spent five years training, but unfortunately, he didn't make it.""So, it was you, you sly old dog!" Christopher gritted his teeth, and his breath quickened. "If you had a grudge, you should've come for
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1139
Antonio had clearly provoked Christopher, baiting him into attacking and testing his limits. Right now, Christopher couldn't even counterattack anymore. "Old friend, you've lost the game. Today is the day you die." Antonio grinned. "But before you die, I'm going to make you watch as I slaughter your family!"With that, he snapped his fingers. In the next moment, numerous assassins emerged from underground. These were the elite warriors of the Bourbon family, honed through rigorous training. They were not only talented but also masters in the art of assassination. As they appeared, they moved like ghosts. It was nearly impossible to defend against them. "Stop them!" Christopher roared.The Murray family's black-clad assassins immediately unsheathed their swords and began their counterattack. Soon, the two sides were plunged into an all-out battle. Despite their smaller numbers, the black-clad assassins were more skilled. They could handle multiple opponents effortlessly.

"What … What did you say?" Sheila was dumbfounded and in disbelief. "You kidnapped me? You guys … have been lying to me?""That's right. We did lie to you," Diego admitted to it plainly. "However, you can only blame yourself for being a fool. You can't tell right from wrong at all. All it took was a few words to convince you. You're the biggest idiot ever!""So … I misunderstood Dustin? I was the one who hurt him without knowing the truth?" Sheila was trembling as tears streamed down her face. A wave of regret washed over her. She never expected the truth to turn out that way. She thought her cousin wouldn't deceive her. She thought her friends would never lie to her. She thought Dustin had really been scheming against her. But Deigo's words had made her realize that everything she had known was a lie.Jayden had deceived her, her good friends had lied to her, and Dustin had been the only one helping and saving her. Yet, she wasn't only ungrateful; she even kicked him out

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

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

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
