"Uh…" Ray's eyes widened in disbelief.He'd never thought that Dustin would actually kill him. If he had known it earlier, he wouldn't have been this arrogant. However, he regretted it too late. As life seeped out of him, his pupils dilated slowly, and his consciousness gradually faded.Dustin lifted his hand and threw Ray's corpse away like a rag doll. Ray's corpse fell to the floor after hitting the wall heavily and kicking up a large dust cloud.Everyone at the scene was dead silent.They were stunned, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Nobody thought that Dustin would actually dare to kill Ray after he had announced his identity.It was known that Ray was part of the Celestial Alliance and the nephew of Ronald Reeds! Where did this guy find the guts to do it?"Dead … Dead? That guy actually killed Ray Reeds?" Vlad was shocked and found it hard to believe.Vlad and Ray shared similar social status, and Ray could have had a better future than him. This nameless guy had t

Kirin Gang wasted no time and sprang right into action as they cleaned up the mess.Without Ray as their leader, the Grant family fighters were nothing against the Kirin Gang. They were all defeated quickly."Bastard! You're dead meat! You killed Ray Reeds, and now you attacked the Grant family! From now on, you're the public enemy of two families! "There will be no safe place for you in Balerno!" Vlad shrieked with a horrified look. He was obviously a little flustered."Hmm?" Dustin glanced over and looked at Vlad as he walked slowly to him. "I almost forgot about you. What did you say earlier?""Don't … don't come near me!" Vlad panicked when he saw Dustin approaching. He yelled out meekly, "Let me warn you, my brother is General Lionheart, Tyler Grant. I have the backing of the whole Grant family. If you touch me, death will be your only way out!""Is that so?" Dustin snorted coldly as he suddenly reached out and held Vlad's head before forcefully smashing it against the wa

Night had fallen at the Balerno martial arts alliance headquarters.A group of alliance leaders gathered around Ray's lifeless body. They gestured and murmured among themselves.When Ray's body was brought back an hour ago, it caused a great commotion in the alliance. Not only was he a disciple of the Celestial Alliance, but he was also Ronald's nephew.Ray was the brightest star in the alliance. He was known for his extraordinary talent and potential. Many believed that in a few years, he would succeed Ronald as the leader of the martial arts alliance.But Ray's sudden and mysterious death had shocked the entire alliance."Ray? Where is my son?"At that moment, a burly, disheveled middle-aged man rushed in. The crowd moved aside as he pushed through them. Those who were slow were knocked over by him. The man was Quincey Reeds, Ray's father.He rushed toward his son's lifeless body and lifted the white cloth that covered him. Shock filled him as he looked at his dead son."Ra

"That bastard took my son's life! He completely looked down on the martial arts alliance." Quincey's face darkened. Then, he said, "Inform Ronald at once. Tell him to avenge my son."The staff replied hesitantly, "Sir Reeds is in seclusion. He has given strict instructions not to be disturbed."Quincey became even more agitated. "Seclusion is not important right now. His nephew has been murdered. Is he just going to ignore that?""Um …" The staff was still hesitant to deliver the message."You wimp! I'll go to him myself!" Quincey shoved the staff aside and stormed out.As he reached the door, an alliance member rushed in. He accidentally collided with Quincey and fell to the ground."Idiot! Are you blind? Do you want me to hit you?" Quincey roared in frustration.The alliance member quickly lowered himself and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Reeds. I didn't see you.""Damn it! Watch where you're going next time!" Quincey was about to walk away when he noticed the alliance member was

Inside the meeting room of Zephyr Lodge, Dustin poured tea into two cups. He handed one to Cornelius.After taking a sip from the other cup, he broke the silence. "Did you deliver the challenge letter?'""Yes," Cornelius said with a nod. "Did the alliance respond?" Dustin asked. Cornelius replied, "As far as I know, Ronald is still in seclusion. But, the alliance members are furious after receiving the letter. I believe Ronald would read it.""Good, that's exactly what I wanted." Dustin smiled faintly.Ray's death would undoubtedly create chaos within the martial arts alliance. So, Dustin took the opportunity to make another bold move. After all, a confrontation with Ronald was bound to happen."Sir Rhys, don't you think it's too reckless to challenge Ronald publicly?" Cornelius voiced his concern.He tactfully continued, "Ronald is one of the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno. His strength is unmatched. Hardly anyone below the grandmaster level can even come close to him

A loud smack sent Toddy sprawling to the ground. He was stunned and couldn't get up."Hey, why did you hit him? Don't you have any manners?" the girl with the ponytail exclaimed. She was furious at the enforcement team captain's unreasonable behavior. She never expected them to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement."Manners? We're the martial arts alliance. We make the rules here!" the captain said arrogantly.He continued, "You second-rate guilds have no right to be here. Now, get lost. I'll make you regret it if I ever see you again!""You're abusing your power! I'll report you!" The girl couldn't suppress her anger."Report us?" The captain's face darkened. "You bitch! You're asking for trouble!"With those words, he suddenly drew his sword and swung it toward the girl.She cried out in fright but couldn't dodge the attack in time. Just as the sharp blade was about to strike her, a large hand grabbed the captain's arm.The sword hung in midair, unable to land i

The girl with the ponytail hugged Dustin and Cornelius. "I'm Lyn Rosier, a disciple of the Moonlight Reverence. What's your name?""I'm Rhys, and this is Mr. Adler," Dustin replied."Hello, Mr. Rhys and Mr. Adler," Lyn responded respectfully."Damn it! How dare you hit me?" Having been slapped earlier, Toddy was still seething with rage. He immediately lunged at the unconscious enforcement team captain. Then, he let loose a barrage of punches and kicks to vent his frustration.The unjust slap had filled Toddy with murderous intent."That's enough, Toddy, stop it. If you keep this up, someone could die." Lyn quickly intervened when she saw the situation was getting out of hand."Hmph! He deserved it. He's just a bully!" Toddy, still angry, kicked a few more times before finally walking away."Mr. Rhys, Mr. Adler, this is Toddy," Lyn said."Nice to meet you." Dustin nodded with a faint smile."Hmph! Who told you to get involved?" Toddy looked hostile."Huh?" Dustin was baffle

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
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
