"Help me?"Surprised to hear that, Dustin appeared skeptical. "With your identity, Your Highness, I reckon it'd be better if you stayed out of it."It was clear that the upheaval in Aylka a decade ago could not have happened without royalties backing the mastermind up. And Eloise was royalty herself. Dustin found it hard to believe that she'd help him."What? Do you think I'm incapable of helping you, or do you simply not trust me?" Eloise asked."I'm just afraid of troubling you," Dustin answered vaguely."I understand where your concerns are coming from, Logan. But I'm sincere in offering my help."Eloise looked at him earnestly as she said, "I am no longer the eldest princess of Dragonmarsh. I am now the Princess Consort of Theswe, your stepmother. "We are a family, and what you do affects me too. I think you understand what I'm saying.""I get it, but I'm just curious how exactly you plan on helping me?" Dustin asked."We have been secretly looking into what happened al
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1266
Though the Prince of Theswe was influential, they could not do as they wished. Besides, this was taboo to begin with, so they could not openly help Dustin with it."I understand. Thank you for your help, Eloise."Dustin stood up and bowed in gratitude.The information that Eloise had provided him with was essential. Not only to figure out the truth but, more importantly, it also meant that he now had another confidant to turn to."We're family. There's no need to be so courteous."Eloise quickly reached out to Dustin, gesturing for him to straighten up. Then, she gave him some sincere advice."Logan, I'm not stopping you from getting the revenge you seek. But I hope you understand that your thoughts define your actions, and your actions define who you are. "Do not lose yourself in your search for revenge, and do not let the people around you down.""I will keep your advice in mind, Eloise." Dustin nodded. "If there's ever anything I can help with, just let me know, Logan! I

After sending everyone off that evening, Dustin called all the guildmasters of the Kirin Gang into the meeting room for a board meeting."It's been a long day today. Thank you for your hard work." Dustin sat at the main seat as he gestured for everyone to take their seats."I have gathered everyone here this evening because I have two things to announce. "The first thing is that I have decided to appoint Cornelius as the assistant leader of Kirin Gang. He will assist me in handling affairs of the gang."All the guildmasters stood up and cheered for Cornelius when they heard that. "Congratulations, Sir Adler! "Great news for you, Sir Adler!"Cornelius was capable, and he was a senior among them. He was also loyal to the Kirin Gang and a decisive confidant of Dustin's. It only made sense for him to become the assistant leader, and nobody questioned the decision."Thank you for trusting me with the position, Sir Rhys! I promise I'll do my best!" Cornelius said earnestly.He ha
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1268
A clamor broke out in the meeting room. All the guildmasters were excited to hear that.It would be a lie to say that they weren't envious of Cornelius for receiving the Gerandium. After all, it wasn't every day that they came by such a rare and precious pill.But Dustin's promise turned their envy into surprise.So it turns out that all of them had a part in it! No one would be left behind. Dustin's fairness gained him the respect and admiration of everyone present.“Thank you, Sir Rhys!""From now on, we will do our best to serve you!"All the guildmasters bowed to Dustin respectfully."We're all brothers. There's no need to be so polite."Dustin then gestured for everyone to straighten up. "There isn't much I can offer. "But if there's one thing I can promise you, it's that in the future, we will always have each others' back. We'll share each others' joys, and help each other through tough times!"Dustin's simple declaration lifted everyone's spirits. They felt that

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Hector's funeral was over. His remains were stored in the Harmons' ancestral altar, where others could visit him.So much had happened to the Harmons that the large and influential family was on the verge of falling apart.After the funeral, Andrew, who had stepped down as head of the family, called for a family meeting. Everyone from the Harmon family was expected to be present.At that moment, Andrew sat at the main seat in the Harmons' meeting room. He held a cane in his hands with a grave expression. The important members of the Harmon family sat on both sides of him.Hector and Trent were dead, and Jacob was nowhere to be found. All his three sons were either dead or missing, and the family had other problems to deal with, too.The Harmon family was now without a leader, and there was also no unity between them. They were in dire straits. Andrew had only stepped out to oversee the situation because he saw no other way."I b

"That's right! I support Natasha becoming the leader of the family! Her Immortunol is making great profit, and she's the family's only hope of recovering!"A senior member of the family stood up in support of Natasha."Desperate times call for desperate measures. There's no one more suited to be the family head than Natasha! I agree with having her as the new head!""Natasha is exceedingly smart. I'm sure she'll be able to restore the family to its former glory! I support her, too!""Mr. Harmon Senior is right! We all support your suggestion!"Most of the Harmons agreed with Andrew's suggestion. The few voices who doubted his suggestion were quickly drowned out. Hence, Natasha was quickly appointed as the new head of the family."Natasha, everyone is supportive and approves of you becoming the family's new leader. What do you think about it?" Andrew asked."I'm not sure, Grandfather." Natasha shook her head. Her father had just passed recently. It was natural that she wasn't i

All the Harmons were stupefied. Andrew's words had shocked them. None of them had expected that the well-dressed old man was actually the noble Duke of Lachshire!In the five peerage rankings, namely duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron, the dukes were ranked first. They were of the highest ranking of nobilities and were above everyone else.Their influence exceeded even that of first-ranking ministers. They were the definition of authority!The Grants had become the leader of the Tremendous Three in Millsburg just because Arthur was an earl. The Harmons dared not even think how much power a duke possessed.But the question was, why would a duke show up at the Harmon family residence? Who among them got such an influential person to come here personally?"What are all of you doing just standing there? Quick! Bow to His Lordship!"Andrew turned to shout at the rest of them. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over.The old man before them wasn't just anyone. He was

"But what will happen to the Harmon family once I'm gone?" Natasha turned to look behind her. Her father had just passed away, and the family was on the verge of breaking apart. She'd feel bad to just walk away like that."They are them, and you are you. Why do you put unnecessary burdens on yourself? "All I want is for you to lead a happy and blissful life. Nothing else matters," Simon said."But …" Natasha was in a dilemma.She had lived with the Harmons for so many years. How could she just abandon them and leave without a care?"Fine, if you're so torn, I'll help the Harmons out just this once," Simon said earnestly. "If you promise to return with me to Oakvale, I guarantee the Harmon family will return to its former glory within a year. "In three years, I'll make the Harmon family better than it ever was and replace the Grants as the new leader of the Tremendous Three. How's that?"Chaos broke out among the Harmons as they were overjoyed to hear that.To have their f

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

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
