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

An elderly man, who radiated authority and seriousness, arrived, causing a sudden tension in the atmosphere."It's General Murray! General Murray is here!""What's going on today? Why is General Murray coming here? He usually keeps a low profile.""Oh dear, it seems trouble has found its way to the Grant family!"George's arrival was already quite surprising, but Christopher's appearance was even more astonishing. Christopher was a highly respected Grand General and protector of the kingdom. He had achieved remarkable feats and held a revered position. With his life devoted to warfare, his many followers, and his unmatched power, connections, and influence, he stood as the foremost figure in Balerno. He even cast a shadow over George, the viceroy of the Southern province."Kid, I'm here to support you today. Let's see who dares to act recklessly!" Christopher wasted no time and openly declared his support for Dustin.This unexpected move stunned everyone. Whispers filled th

Glenn wasn't just skilled in swordsmanship, but his technique was also flawless. Every strike was unpredictable, relentless, and impossible to block. His attacks came in waves, and each one was stronger than the last.What made him even more terrifying were the six divine swords that obeyed his every command. They were like extensions of his will. The swords threw Dustin off balance, attacking from every direction and blocking any chance of escape. They moved in perfect sync with Glenn and left no room for counterattacks.Dustin had no choice but to dodge and parry. If not for his incredible agility and mastery of the sword, he wouldn't have lasted more than a few breaths.Even so, the pressure was overwhelming. It felt like he wasn't just facing Glenn but six or seven skilled opponents at once. Any slip in focus, or any opening, could be his last.The real challenge was that Dustin wasn't gaining any ground. While he had to stay focused on dodging and blocking, he also had to se
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2400
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Dustin and Glenn stepped onto the battle ring. They stood about 30 feet apart, and their eyes locked across the distance. Their gazes met like sparks, and they could feel the weight of the other's stare."Are you Logan?" Glenn asked, breaking the silence.He had heard the rumors about this dark horse before stepping into the ring, but now that he was facing him, he wasn't sure."Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is who wins this fight." Dustin didn't confirm or deny it, but his words left Glenn with no doubt.Both men were at the top of the Legendary List and held equal rank on the Champ-Tier List. Until they fought, no one could say who was the stronger of the two."I heard you're Seth's disciple, so I'm really looking forward to this." Glenn's gaze sharpened.Many years ago, his mentor, Cyrus, was defeated by Seth. That loss had always haunted Cyrus ever since. Now, with the disciples of both men about to face off, Glenn was determin

"Since Madam Penelope has spoken, I’ll follow her lead," Alloy said with a smile. "What about Mr. Hadley and Sage Foyer?""I'm in if you want to make a bet," Cyrus replied coolly."It's not every day we get an opportunity like this. Let me stir things up a bit." Kaden nodded with a grin.Once the three had agreed, Penelope waved for Abigail to come over.Soon, Abigail approached them with a wide grin. "Esteemed guests, I hear you want to bet. The current odds are—bet on Dustin to win, and you'll get 1.6 times your stake. Bet on Glenn, and it's only 0.4."She continued, "And no worries—if you win, I'll exchange your winnings for celestial stones." Abigail smiled brightly, and the other parties' eyes gleamed with the unmistakable shine of greed.Many had already placed their bets with her. Though she couldn't control the match's outcome, she knew how to adjust the odds to her advantage. Over time, that could turn into a huge fortune."I'm betting on Glenn to win." Cyrus quickly

"We're ready for the ultimate showdown of this tournament. The winner will be crowned the Combat Tournament Champion. Now, let's welcome both contestants to the ring." Oron's voice thundered as he stepped onto the battle ring.There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.The long-awaited showdown was finally at hand. Today's outcome wasn't just about personal glory, but it would also decide the future of the martial world.If Glenn triumphed and claimed the crown, the Sword Union would rise as the undisputed guild. The Celestial Alliance and the Mystic Arts Order would have no choice but to bow to their supremacy.But if Dustin won, it would be even more sensational. A dark horse, without any guild affiliation, defeating the elite disciples of the major guild—such a story would send shockwaves through the martial world.Once that happened, every major guild would fight tooth and nail to claim him. It would spark a fierce battle for dominance."Dr. Rhys! Good luck!"

"H-Hold on! I-I surrender!" Abigail said urgently. With the sword inches away from her throat, she decisively raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.She didn't expect herself to win the match. Her goal was simply to take this opportunity to test Dustin's strength and also gauge her own progress. But now, it was clear that there was still a sizable gap between them."You've done well. In a few more years, I might not even be able to keep up with you." Dustin smiled and lowered his Celestial Blade. His words weren't flattery; he genuinely saw potential in Abigail.The dark Phoenix flames carried a corrosive power that even his mystical pure energy couldn't resist. In other words, Abigail's black flames were the bane of any martial artist.Her journey in the martial world was still short—barely two years. She hadn't unlocked the full potential of her Phoenix bloodline yet. But with more training and experience, the sky was the limit for her."Don't try to console me, Sir. I'm n
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2396
With a resounding bang, the golden light erupted with a burst of terrifying energy wave. In an instant, the earth trembled, and fierce winds whipped through the air.Dustin and his sword were sent flying several yards. After landing, he stumbled back several steps before finally steadying himself.He looked up and saw that Abigail's body was now covered in a layer of golden armor, though he couldn't tell when it had happened. The armor glowed brightly, and it made her look imposing and striking.It was clearly a divine artifact.The Mystic Arts Order had been around for centuries, with deep roots and countless treasures. As the Grand Sorceress, Abigail would obviously have several divine artifacts for protection.Dustin wasn't surprised, but the armor's counterforce caught him off guard. Not only did it protect her, but it also had offensive capabilities.When his sword struck the armor earlier, the blow didn't leave a scratch. Instead, the armor absorbed the hit and sent the for

Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.The feathers slammed into the shield and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.Dustin couldn't hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster's internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn't anticipated it couldn't hold up against Abigail's phoenix flame.Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn't afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying."Glaring Wings!" Abigail wasn't done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and

Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement."Fallen Fist!"After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes—dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin's body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.Abigail's black palm shadows exploded on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist e

The whole arena suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly, and not a soul dared to breathe. Alloy shot to his feet in the main spectator seats, and his face was tense with worry. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound. He feared it might startle Glenn into making a mistake that could cost Fenley's life.After all, Fenley represented the future of the Celestial Alliance. Alloy had invested all his effort into Fenley, and he provided him with endless resources. If Fenley were to die in the match, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire guild.While Alloy was gripped with worry, Cyrus and Penelope cheered silently. They secretly hoped Glenn's sword would strike Fenley. If that happened, the Celestial Alliance would take at least a decade to regain its former glory.Fenley's body stiffened as he stared at the Fang Master hovering inches from him. A shiver ran through his spine as goosebumps prickled his skin. Sweat trickled down his face, and each drop hit the ground with a
