With a serious look on his face, Vlad commanded his martial artist masters to advance."Clear the way! I'll handle this!" Suddenly, a large, muscular man sprang into action. He charged at Dustin with unstoppable determination. In the middle of his charge, he unleashed a powerful punch known as the "Mad Bull Fist"."Fergus Zane doesn't mess around; he pulled off his best move right from the start.""I couldn't even block that punch; how can that skinny guy stand a chance?""If this kid goes down to Fergus' special move, he's in for some tough luck."The martial artists chuckled, clearly entertained by the unfolding scene.Among them, Fergus wasn't the strongest, but he had a respectable reputation. Going up against him meant trouble for most ordinary martial artists."Get lost!" Dustin paid no attention to the muscular man's attack. He delivered a mighty punch of his own and striked first.The muscular man's body burst like a watermelon hit by a cannonball, disintegrating in

Dustin's gaze sent a chilling fear through Vlad's core. Vlad had thought his plans were foolproof, but Dustin's strength shattered those hopes."Let them go, or face the consequences," Dustin warned, projecting a menacing presence."No way!" Vlad, furious, pulled out a gun and aimed at Dustin. But before he could react, Dustin disappeared and reappeared before him."You—" Vlad was startled, and Dustin grabbed his wrist, snapping it violently."Ah!"The gun dropped from Vlad's hand, and a strong hand gripped his throat, silencing him. His face turned red as he struggled in vain, his feet off the ground."Where's Natasha?" Dustin's expression turned fierce, his presence overwhelming."Let … let me go … or you won't leave here alive!" Vlad desperately threatened."I'm asking you, where is Natasha?" Dustin increased the pressure on Vlad's throat, making it hard for him to breathe. Vlad's face turned purple, and he began to kick wildly."Stop!"At that moment, key members of the

The crowd had never seen such a bold move. In broad daylight, Dustin daringly stormed into the Grant mansion and captured Vlad. It was a risky move, like walking a tightrope without a safety net.Vlad sneered, "Hey, brat! Can you see that? You're surrounded. My family's soldiers are standing all around. What makes you think you can take me on?"He continued to taunt, "If you want to live, let go and surrender. Kneel and beg for mercy. Maybe then, I'll spare you.""You want trouble?" Dustin grabbed Vlad by the neck and slowly lifted him with a chilling glare."What, you dare touch me?" Vlad sneered.He remained fearless and taunted, "If you touch me, you'll die, and your family and friends will suffer the same fate."He continued, "Oh, and your woman, she's in my basement. If anything happens to me, my men will rape her. Come on! Test me. Let's see if you can handle the consequences."Vlad laughed arrogantly. He seemed confident that personal courage could do nothing against ov

A sharp knife pierced through Hector's body, with its tip protruding from his chest. It caused the blood to flow along its edge."Ugh …"Hector trembled, and his face froze as he instinctively looked down. He watched as blood slowly oozed from the knife lodged in his chest."Huh?"This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. No one had expected Vlad to launch such a sudden and deadly attack. Onlookers had expected a stalemate, but now it was clear that Vlad had gone too far."Mr. Harmon?" Even Dustin was surprised. He had not expected Vlad to stab Hector. Just moments earlier, the man was held hostage. "Dus … Dustin … Take care … my daughter … from now on …" Hector struggled to say the words before his head sank down, and he took his last breath."His suffering has come to an end," Kate said coldly, showing no emotion."Hector …"In the crowd, Trent wore a pained expression. They were brothers who grew up together and carried on the family legacy regardless of the situation

Vlad was shocked and hastily backed away.Suddenly, shots rang out, but they missed Dustin and only hit his afterimage."Stop him, quick!" Vlad turned pale and tried to run. He couldn't believe that this lunatic wasn't even afraid of bullets."What are you waiting for? Go help him!" Kate quickly instructed a group of guards to move in."Get back here!" Dustin dashed forward. He grabbed Vlad's head and slammed his head on the ground.The gunshots stopped immediately, for fear they might accidentally hit Vlad. Even the strong guards hesitated, not wanting to act impulsively."Dustin, I warn you not to do anything reckless. If you hurt Vlad, there will be serious consequences!" Kate shouted firmly."Bastard! Stop this now!" the Grant family members and relatives shouted angrily.At that moment, they all sensed that Dustin was desperate to do something. But they held back because they were afraid of causing unwanted harm."Hey, brat, be careful. If you hurt me, your whole family w

"Dead ... Vlad is dead?" Kate's eyes widened in disbelief as she gasped. She never expected Dustin to murder Vlad in public. She could not help thinking that Dustin was really wicked!"Oh no! Now, even Natasha and the others will suffer!" Trent muttered, shaking his head. His younger brother's death was a great shock, and if his nieces were now in danger, it would make everything worse. Although he was striving for power, he didn't want to harm his family."Unbelievable!""So brazen!""Bastard! You crossed the line!"After recovering from their shock, the Grant family members erupted in anger. No one had ever dared to challenge the authority of the Grant family in Millsburg, let alone commit such a brutal murder right before their eyes. This behavior was incredibly bold!"Dustin, you challenged our authority. No one can save you today," Tyler declared sternly.Vlad's death hadn't shaken him too much. Still, Dustin, the murderer, had openly challenged the Grant family
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1234
What was happening? Dustin, a brave but reckless man, had openly defied the Grant family's authority. Not only that, he had also brought a gang with him to cause chaos and lawlessness in the Grant mansion."Listen up, Grants! Let Ms. Harmon go immediately, or we'll fight fiercely today!" Cornelius led a group of Kirin gang members and bravely confronted the Grant family's forces."Fight fiercely? Are you even up to the task?" Tyler looked at him disdainfully. To him, the Kirin gang was just a bunch of nobodies. Once his men got there, they could take them down easily."Dustin, you're too idealistic. Do you think you can challenge us with these petty gangsters? That's just wishful thinking!" Kate scoffed.The Kirin gang was impressive. Still, compared to the Grant family, they were insignificant and would easily crumble."If the Kirin gang can't handle this, what about teaming up with the Stoneray Order?"Suddenly, a loud voice echoed at the entrance.Then, a dignified elderl

"Oh, my goodness! Is that Lord Xenos? What is he doing here?""Look at his entourage. It doesn't seem like they're here for the engagement party.""Exactly! Who brings that many guards to a banquet? It's pretty clear that trouble's brewing."George's arrival immediately caused a stir. Even the members of the Grant family couldn't hide their uneasiness.After all, George was a viceroy. He held a great deal of power throughout the Southern province, both military and political. He was a high-ranking official, a truly influential figure.In the presence of such an important person, even Tyler, a powerful general, had to exercise restraint."Dustin, are you all right?" George asked as he came in."I'm fine, thank you, Lord Xenos," Dustin replied politely."That's good." George smiled. Then, he turned to Tyler. His expression suddenly turned stern. "Tyler, you have abused your authority as a third-ranking official. Do you think no one can keep you in check?"George's words were

"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

Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again."Get over here! We have to keep him restrained."As the net strained under Warrick's sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn't faring well. Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.Against Warrick's Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn't stand a

If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos

"You bastard! With all this evidence in front of you, what do you have to say for yourself?" Austin barked."Your Highness, please let me explain…" Huxley broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling with panic."This is a lie. Someone's trying to frame me! I've always followed the law—how could I possibly be involved in something so vile?""The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still trying to weasel out of it?" Austin shot back. "Looks like you won't confess until death is knocking at your door."He raised his hand and ordered, "Guards, throw him into Grimhold Keep. Use whatever means necessary—let's see how long he keeps up this act.""Yes, Your Highness."A squad of enforcement team members rushed in and surrounded Huxley.Cornered, Huxley finally lost his nerve. He dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, "Your Highness, I admit I made a grave mistake."His voice cracked as he continued, "I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Please, for the sake of my y

Night had fallen. Austin sat in the meeting room, quietly reading a book as he waited for the results of the investigation.After successfully turning Percival against his allies, it was only a matter of time before they uncovered solid evidence of Warrick and Huxley's crimes.For years, the castle had turned a blind eye to their shady dealings. After all, corruption among officials was nothing new.But this time was different. The two had secretly orchestrated Jovian's murder, a direct challenge to the authority and dignity of the royal family. Such defiance couldn't be ignored. If Austin didn't set an example, others would surely follow."Your Highness!"Axel burst into the meeting room, panting heavily. He had clearly run the whole way to avoid any delay.Austin set his book aside and asked calmly, "Well? How did it go?""Your Highness, we've completely shut down all of Warrick and Huxley's illicit operations. Every hidden network they had built over the years has also been d
