"Mr. Larkspur, it's been a while. Why are you so mad? Maybe I can make you some tea to calm your nerves."Brooke, Dustin, and Harper walked down the stairs, noting the chaos in the medical center. Brooke's brow furrowed, but he quickly composed himself."Hey, Dr. Busch, I see you've decided to show up. I thought you were turning into a chicken," Ziggy smirked, crossing his legs."I don't think I did anything to offend you. It isn't the best way to handle things by causing a scene," Brooke calmly replied."I'm here to get medical treatment. Are you saying I'm not welcome as a patient here at Harmony Healers?" Ziggy provoked."If you're here for treatment, I would be delighted to have you. But I'm afraid, Mr. Larkspur, you are not just here for the treatment," Brooke replied."Enough of this; let's talk about my treatment now." Ziggy was unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a festering wound on his abdomen. He pointed at the wound. "Dr. Busch, you promised me your golden salve would h

"Ziggy Larkspur! If you mess with us, I'll report you to the police," Harper threatened sternly."Report me? Hahaha!" Ziggy burst out laughing. Behind him, his henchmen laughed and looked at her with amusement. They wouldn't be as unrestrained as they were now in South City if they didn't have influential connections."Ms. Busch, you're so cute. I think I'm falling in love with you." Ziggy approached her, munching on an apple. "So, tell me, how will you report me? I'm the victim here. It's your quack doctors who made my injuries worse. "Will the police arrest me, the victim, or your Harmony Healers' quack doctor?""You ..." Harper was speechless. She knew Ziggy was deliberately causing trouble. However, Harmony Healers could not provide any hard evidence to defend themselves."Ziggy Larkspur, how dare you bully Harper?" Then, a well-groomed man in a smart suit with a slick hairstyle walked in. His demeanor made him seem someone important."Cody?" Harper's eyes lit up,
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1293
In Oakvale, there were eight big families, and the Swanson family was one of them. They had been around for a hundred years and were influential in Oakvale, especially in South City. They were like the kings of South City.The Welsh family was another powerful family in the city. The Ostrower family may be respected, but they weren't on the same level.When Cody heard about the Swanson family, his confidence turned into worry and seriousness."Mr. Ostrower, I know you come from a good family," Ziggy said. "But there are some things you better not mess with, especially when it involves the Swanson family. "I suggest you think twice before getting involved, or things could turn ugly." He grinned, looking confident. He had looked into Harmony Healers' background and knew they didn't have strong backing.Cody replied, "Ziggy, don't act like you have connections to the Swanson family. You're not fooling anyone."Ziggy responded, "The Swanson family is known for their good name.

Cody explained, "Mr. Swanson, I didn't mean to disrespect the Swanson family. "But these ruffians caused a scene at Harmony Healers; I had to step in."Despite being just a butler for the Swanson family, Zion had the support of Ezra Swanson, the family's scion. Cody wouldn't dare to go against Ezra unless it was necessary."Causing a scene? But I heard that your Harmony Healers are mistreating patients," Zion remarked casually."Ziggy told me that your quack doctor failed to treat his condition and made it worse. He came here seeking justice, and I find that reasonable.""That's right ..." Ziggy nodded, expressing his grievances. "Mr. Swanson, Harmony Healers are so unreasonable. Their treatment worsened my injuries, and I was close to death. "Not only did they refuse to admit it, but they also accused me of causing trouble. Please, be fair and help me!""Nonsense! He's just lying!" Harper couldn't contain her anger.She had never met such a shameless person before. Ziggy t

"What?"Dustin's sudden words grabbed everyone's attention."Where did you come from, kid? Do you even have a say here?" Ziggy didn't seem pleased."I'm a new doctor from Harmony Healers," Dustin calmly explained. "You just said if I heal your injury, you won't ask for compensation. So, I want to give it a try.""Give it a try? You?" Ziggy laughed, thinking that Dustin was rather foolish. He thought, "This guy doesn't even know what he's getting into.""Hey! It's not up to you. My grandpa hasn't made a decision yet. You can't decide for him!" Harper's expression hardened, venting her frustrations on Dustin."If you don't want to settle it through Harmony Healers, then the only option is to treat the injury. There's no other choice," Dustin said calmly."Who do you think you are? You think you can heal it just by saying so?" Harper was displeased by a country doctor acting arrogant at Harmony Healers."Kid, you're new here and inexperienced. It's not as simple as you think.

"It's over! Dr. Busch is placing trust in this scoundrel!" Chaos ensued among the Harmony Healers. No one expected that Brooke would entrust the fate of Harmony Healers to a stranger."Haha! Impressive!" After a brief pause, Ziggy burst into laughter. "Dr. Busch has some guts. Let's go with that!"Ziggy had worked tirelessly to reach this point. Now, they had fallen into his trap."Interesting ... very interesting," Zion said with a sly smile. Dealing with Harmony Healers seemed easier than he had anticipated."Stay calm; I trust Dustin's medical skills. He won't let us down," Brooke said seriously.Harper, feeling restless, exclaimed, "But we still don't trust him!""Master Brooke, there's no need to take this risk. With me here, they won't dare to cause trouble at Harmony Healers," Cody tried to convince him."I've made up my mind. No need for more talk," Brooke was determined."Grandpa!" Harper was so frustrated that she stomped her foot. Helpless, she turned toward Du

Under the watchful gaze of everyone, Ziggy tore off the bandage. It revealed the dark and foul-smelling ointment covering his wound. It looked rather unpleasant."Hey, fetch me a basin of water to clean this wound!" Ziggy pointed at a doctor, who happened to be Caldwell, lurking in the corner."M—me?" Caldwell was startled and pointed at himself. He had been observing from the sidelines, hoping to avoid trouble. In the end, he was still called out."Hurry up! Do you expect me to do it myself?" Ziggy glared at him."Oh, okay." Caldwell nodded. He dared not to say much and quickly brought a basin of water and a towel."Why are you standing there? Clean the wound for me; be gentle. If you hurt me, I'll break your leg!" Ziggy threatened.Being a ruffian, Ziggy could spot a pushover from a mile away.Caldwell was nervous as he wet the towel, carefully wiping the wound. Ziggy smiled mockingly. "Dr. Busch, hurry and prepare the transfer contract.""Grandpa, you shouldn't have tr

Cody was equally surprised, finding it difficult to believe. Everyone had assumed Dustin was trying to brag and lacked real skills. But, he had completely turned things around and resolved the crisis at Harmony Healers with his ointment. Dustin's performance was truly remarkable."Wow ... Dustin, you did a great job!" After recovering from his astonishment, Brooke clapped and laughed joyfully. He was prepared for failure, but Dustin had worked a miracle. It took him by surprise."What on earth! What happened to my wound? Why is it gone?" Ziggy kept touching his abdomen, looking concerned. He had put in a lot of effort to stage a deceitful act. If it failed this time, he would face the consequences."I never thought there was such a miraculous medicine in the world. If we can get our hands on it, we'll make a ton of money." Zion squinted his eyes, deep in thought.As the Swanson family butler, he possessed a sharp mind. Despite the annoyance over their failed plan, he swiftl

"Let me correct you," Dustin said.As his hand slowly tightened into a fist, a white longsword formed from his true energy. "In Dragonmarsh, there is no 'God. ' We only have the Lord of the Dead."The moment the words left his mouth, a tempest of sword aura exploded outward. Within a radius of several dozen yards, the winds howled, sand and stones were sent flying, and the waves along the shore grew even more violent."Such overwhelming pressure. That sword aura is insane. Is this Logan's actual strength?"Feeling the surge of energy, Warrick and the others couldn't help but turn pale. It was then they realized that Dustin hadn't been fighting seriously before. Or perhaps, with their strength, they hadn't even earned the right to make him fight for real. They figured only someone of Poseidon's caliber could force Dustin to go all out."Interesting… truly fascinating." Poseidon suddenly laughed. "I thought you were just a pup, but it turns out you're a hungry wolf. Now, this is s
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2514
Poseidon hovered in the air with his trident in one hand and radiated a commanding presence. He stood like a god, and his figure was so intimidating that it struck fear into those who beheld him.With a wave of his hand, an invisible energy struck Warrick and expelled the three silver needles from his body. Feeling sensation returned to his limbs, Warrick's face lit up. He quickly rose to his feet and clenched his fist to his chest in salute."Thank you, Lord Poseidon, for saving me. I will never forget this kindness!" he said."No need for formalities, Sir Prescott. Now that you've pledged yourself to the Hall of Gods, it's only natural that I ensure your safety," Poseidon replied with a faint smile as he descended gracefully."Your timely arrival was a blessing," Warrick said as he bowed his head slightly in deference. "Otherwise, we would have perished tonight."The Hall of Gods' royal gods were figures he could only look up to. Everything about Poseidon, from his power to hi
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2513
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
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2512
"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
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2511
"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
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2509
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
