“I see.” Dustin nodded.Dustin recalled something and asked, “Following what you said, between you and Edwin, whoever first creates Eternumax would dominate the market in Swinton?”“You could say that,” Natasha confirmed his thoughts. “However, the documents of my researchers have been robbed. We have to start all over again. It would be too difficult.” “Humph! That Hummer is too despicable! Him and his dirty tricks!” Ruth was indignant.“What kind of medicine is Eternumax?” Dustin asked once again.“Eternumax is a medicine that not only increases your lifespan but also retains beauty. It was said to be derived from an ancient antidote recipe. However, because the recipe was crafted such a long time ago, half of it was lost. We could only keep researching to restore the full recipe.” Natasha explained. “An ancient antidote recipe?” “If I’m following correctly, I do know about a type of secret medicine that has a similar effect to Eternumax.” Dustin rubbed his chin“Oh? And

“Hehe…You wouldn’t know, would you? Miss Hummer is a noble lady. She doesn’t need gems or jewelry. If you truly want to impress her, you should give her a one-of-a-kind gift. Luminianth Root has the ability to retain one’s beauty. No woman could ever resist it. I believe that Miss Hummer would like it!” Julie uttered confidently. “You’re not wrong, but this Luminianth Root costs a fortune, right?” Florence asked.“Of course! This is an extremely rare item. You won’t be able to buy it without three to five million dollars.” Julie nodded.“What! It’s that expensive?”Florence was shocked. “Julie, do you even have that much money?” “Of course, I don’t. But you do! So, lend me a few million dollars, I’ll return it to you next time.” Julie requested without hesitation. Her words stunned Florence.Dahlia and James also frowned at her words.This cousin of theirs would always borrow money every time she visits.Last year she “borrowed” a Mercedez-Benz from them for two days. Until

“Julie! Don’t be mad, calm down!”Florence quickly stopped Julie and smiled. “Isn’t it just a few million dollars? I’ll lend it to you! We’re all family after all. There’s no need to fight.”“Mom! Why are you playing along with her?” James frowned.“Julie is my only niece. Now that she’s in a pinch, who would help her if not me?” Florence stated the facts. “Are you sure this is someone who needs help?” James was displeased. “Shut it!” Florence glared at her son. “I’m not using your money. Can’t I use my own money?”“You—!” James was shocked.“Is she still my mother?” James wondered.She treated a niece better than her own son.“Aunt Florence treats me the best!” Julie chirped with a smile on her face.This was not her first time acting like this. It was effective every single time.“Of course, who’d treat you well other than me? Let’s go, we’ll buy you the Lumianth Root.”Florence grabbed Juile’s hand and entered Emporium.“Sis! You’re not going to stop mom?” James was w

“Why are you here?” Dahlia was surprised to see Dustin. When she saw the pretty lady standing beside him, she couldn’t help but frown. Her heart clenched in jealousy. “Was Natasha not enough for him? He still wanted more women?” Dahlia wondered to herself.“Men are all playboys after all!” She concluded in her mind.“Dustin, you guys know each other?” Ruth looked between the two of them, feeling a little awkward.“We do. She’s the president of Quine Group, Miss Dahlia.” Dustin explained. “So it’s her!” Ruth’s gaze immediately turned hostile. This woman in front of her was her sister’s greatest love rival. She certainly has to keep an eye on her. She must not let the two of them rekindle their love!“Humph! How do we keep running into each other? How unlucky of us!” Florence’s face was full of contempt.”“Dustin! How impressive! I can’t believe you got another girl with you so soon! You really are a gigolo!” James mocked. At the same time, he was envious of him.“Damn it! I

Seeing Julie’s joyful face, Ruth clenched her teeth and held back her anger.“Pretty lady, I really need this Luminianth Root. Can’t you just sell it to me? I’ll pay you 20 million!” Ruth tried her best to rein in her emotions. “So what if you have money? You want my Luminianth Root? Dream on!” Julie hugged the wooden box closer to her body, looking proud of herself. “You—!” Ruth was at her limit. She had never been treated like this before ever since a young age. In the end, she gave up. “Dustin! I don’t care anymore! You handle it yourself!” Looking at the situation, Dustin could only ask, “Julie, what are you planning to use the Luminianth Root for?”“That’s none of your damn business!” Julie glared at him and declared firmly, “Listen up you guys, I will never sell the Luminianth Root to you guys no matter what you say!”“That is a huge Luminianth Root. You won’t be able to finish it if you’re planning to use it as a medicine—” Before Dustin could finish, Julie inte

“Look here, we’ve laid out our terms clearly. You were the ones who insisted on buying it. I didn’t force you guys at all.” The shop owner said indifferently. “Stop the crap! I don’t want this Luminianth Root anymore. Hurry up and give me a refund!” Julie grabbed the man by his collar and roared.“What? Are you trying to stir up trouble in my shop?”The shop owner’s expression did not falter, and he quickly clapped his hands once. Soon, a group of brawny men came out from the room behind.Seeing the fierce looks on their face, Julie and the rest were immediately stunned and silent.“Are you guys tired of living? How dare you stir up trouble in Mr. Walter’s shop?”“Anyone could tell that they’re brainless, they have no clue about the rules here.”“Exactly! They don’t even check the item before raising their bid. Doesn’t that say something about their stupidity?” The crowd started gossiping.“What? You think that I’m scared because you have a few men?”Florence glared at hi

“I’ll buy it for five million dollars.” Dustin’s voice captured several customers’ attention. They all looked at him as if he had grown another head. Anyone who’s in the right mind would be able to tell that this Luminianth Root was defective. Only an idiot would buy a Luminianth Root in that condition.“Dustin, have you lost your mind? Why are you spending five million for a piece of trash?” Ruth was shocked.Although it wasn’t a lot of money for her, it was still a dumb decision.“You, you really want to buy it?” Florence could not believe it.“What? Do you not want to sell it?” Dustin asked.“I’ll sell it! Of course, I’ll sell it!” Florence nodded her head repeatedly as a smile bloomed on her face.Although she still made a loss for selling it for five million dollars, it was still better than nothing.“Dustin, this Luminianth Root is obviously useless. Are you sure you want to buy it?” Dahlia asked in surprise.“Oh, silly! What are you talking about? This Luminianth Roo
An Understated Dominance Chapter 125
“You’re hopeless.” James thought he was looking at an idiot.“What on earth are you up to?” Dahlia also frowned at the scene.She really could not understand his outrageous behavior.Ignoring the crowd’s gazes, Dustin reached down to the shattered Luminianth Root and started to search for something.Soon, a crimson red, finger-sized Luminianth Root appeared.This small and delicate Luminianth Root was red as blood. It was even emanating an odd smell.One could tell that it was no ordinary item.“That’s odd, how could there be a smaller Luminianth Root?” Ruth was confused.“Is it possible for Luminianth Root to give birth?”At that moment, Mr. Walter seemed to realize something and exclaimed, “No—no way! Could it be…that’s a Blood Luminianth Root?!”Everyone in the room went wild at his statement.“What? Blood Luminianth Root? Mr. Walter, you’re not kidding, are you?!”“That’s right. I’ve seen it in a book, this is truly a Blood Luminianth Root!”“Oh my God! I can’t believe

"Your Highness, you mustn't speak such nonsense." Langdon put on a righteous front.He continued, "I've always prided myself on my integrity and never done anything dishonorable. I've never betrayed the prince's trust or let the people down, and I have nothing to hide.""Such lofty words," Austin scoffed. "If you have nothing to hide, why not let the enforcement team investigate?"Langdon's face tightened, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes. After all, what official didn't have some skeletons in the closet? A full investigation would likely turn up something, no matter how small. Even if the offenses weren't serious, the damage to his reputation would be permanent.With so many officials watching, Langdon couldn't afford to back down. If he did, he would lose his standing in the political world—and his claim to integrity along with it."Go ahead and investigate." He raised his chin and said confidently, "I've lived an honest life and never engaged in anything illegal. No m

Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn't be bothered by their so-called accusations.His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn't even listening?"Are you done?" Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. "If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you're satisfied.""Your Highness, we're here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing," Langdon said sharply."Serious matters?" Austin let out a short laugh.He went on, "You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they're facts. As far as I'm concerned, you're no different from clowns putting on a show.""You… How dare you!" Langdon

"Are you even qualified to sit while speaking to me?"Austin's words struck like the blow of a hammer. They were sharp and unrelenting, and they left no room for retort.Langdon sat frozen and was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected a brat like Austin to have such a sharp tongue.If he admitted he had come for personal matters, he would keep his pride intact, but he would lose control of the conversation. Everything he had prepared—and all the accusations he meant to throw—would be meaningless.But if he insisted it was official business, he would have to show proper respect and offer a formal greeting. No matter how he answered, he would be conceding ground."I'll ask one more time. Are you here on official or personal matters?" Austin asked coldly."O-Official matters." Cornered, Langdon barely managed to get the words out."Well? Is this how an official conducts himself?" Austin pressed.Langdon had no choice but to rise and offer a deep bow. "Your Highness, it's an h

After a night of chaos, some of the Red Legion's members were killed, others were captured, and the entire force had been wiped out.But the fallout didn't stop there. The Prescott estate was also raided. All embezzled wealth was confiscated, and those found guilty were thrown into prison.Anyone connected to the Prescotts was placed under house arrest and subjected to rigorous investigation.And the man behind it—Warrick—had become the kingdom's most wanted fugitive.Until he was captured, Celestria remained under lockdown. Major roads were sealed off, and patrol teams scoured every corner to ensure Warrick had no way out.Austin's crackdown sparked outrage among senior officials who didn't know the full story. They voiced their dissatisfaction, with some even gathering outside the castle gates in protest. They stomped their feet in outrage, just short of openly cursing him.To them, Warrick had made great contributions to the nation. Even if he had committed crimes, he didn't d

Austin's words were calm and almost casual. Yet, they struck like thunder and echoed in the hearts of the three assistant generals of the Red Legion.If they answered Austin's questions, there might still be a slim chance of survival. But if they refused, death was the only outcome.After all, who would willingly choose death when they had worked so hard to achieve their wealth and status? Yet, pride and dignity held them back. They didn't want to be branded as traitors.Now, they were caught in a dilemma. Which was more important—their honor or their lives? It was an impossible choice."You have ten seconds left. If you don't speak, you'll lose your chance." Austin's voice was utterly devoid of emotion.His words seemed to pierce their souls, and the three Red Legion assistant generals broke into a cold sweat.As the countdown neared its end, Auron finally couldn't hold back. "Your Highness! I'll talk—I'll tell you everything."Dropping to his knees, he scrambled forward and wa

Axel swallowed hard, shock written all over his face. He had always known the Draken Guardians were formidable, but he had never expected them to be this lethal.He had pushed himself to his limit just to hold his own against Connor and Dave, only to end up seriously wounded. Yet, when the Draken Guardians arrived, they wiped them out—along with several dozen Red Legion soldiers—without losing a single man.If Axel hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Legion, a force renowned for its elite soldiers, could be so easily crushed. Or perhaps it wasn't that the Red Legion was weak, but that the Draken Guardians were far stronger than anyone had imagined.Even their most ordinary members were strong enough to become a mighty general. As for those at the level of captain, their strength was far beyond Axel's. The lethality of a team made up of such skilled experts had reached the point of being an overwhelming force."Mr. Cruz, please arrange some

"Damn it! This punk's tougher than I thought. We're in real trouble if this keeps up," Connor said, swinging his twin blades relentlessly. Every strike was aimed at Axel's vital points.But Axel was quick. He weaved in and out of reach and avoided direct confrontation. It was obvious he was just stalling for time."Sir Prescott should be far enough by now. There's no point dragging this out. Let's fall back."Sensing the futility of their efforts, Dave considered retreating. He didn't fear death, but he wasn't about to waste his life for nothing.Since Warrick had escaped, their interception mission was also completed."You guys hold him off. The rest of you, fall back with me."Connor was decisive. Realizing they weren't making any progress, he quickly ordered a retreat and left a few decoys behind to buy time.They had barely run a hundred yards when a wave of soldiers suddenly appeared at the alley's entrance. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, filled the narrow space and comple

"This punk's a real pain in the ass!"Connor glanced over his shoulder and noticed Axel was still hot on their trail.The squad he had sent to intercept Axel was completely outmaneuvered, and they couldn't get anywhere near him.To Connor's dismay, Axel kept shooting off signal flares as he pursued them. Each flare gave away their position. At this rate, it didn't matter which direction they ran—they were bound to be intercepted."Connor! Dave! Make a move and swat that damn fly," Warrick ordered decisively."If we leave, who's going to protect you?" Connor hesitated.Warrick was in bad shape. Without them guarding him, a single attack from an expert could be fatal."If you don't take out that fly, I'll be in even more danger. Get moving now!" Warrick snapped."Yes, sir!"Connor and Dave exchanged a glance before splitting up with their squads to surround Axel.They both knew what was at stake. If they didn't take Axel down quickly, their entire force would be stranded and do

"Kill them all!"At Warrick's command, the Red Legion charged without hesitation. Blades flashed as they stormed toward the elite enforcement unit.This time, nearly a thousand Red Legion soldiers arrived. With their sheer numbers, they launched a pincer attack from both flanks, leaving the enemy with no way to fend it off."Form the Shield Formation!" Axel shouted upon seeing the dire situation. His men immediately sheathed their blades and raised their shields to form a defensive line. Their pursuit had cut them off from the main force. Since they were up against an enemy ten times their size, forming a defensive line was their best option.If they could stall for even a moment, reinforcements from the castle would arrive, and the tide would turn in their favor. Once that happened, the thousand-strong Red Legion would be the ones on the defensive.After a brief charge, the two forces collided.Warrick had personally trained the Red Legion. He selected only the most loyal and
