"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

"Five million dollars? The Swanson family is sure generous," the crowd whispered.Zion's offer got everyone excited. Whether it was Ziggy's henchmen or the Harmony Healers' apprentices, five million dollars was a big deal for them."Mr. Swanson, this is a family secret formula. It's not for sale, so I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Dustin replied calmly.He saw through Zion's intentions. Such an ancient formula was worth more than five million dollars.Still smiling, Zion persisted, "It looks like Mr. Rhys isn't satisfied. "Well, it seems like the stars had brought us together today. I'll double the offer to ten million dollars.""Wow! It just jumped to ten million dollars! Mr. Swanson is being generous!" The crowd whispered excitedly. This amount was more than they could ever dream of earning.Even Ziggy was jealous at that moment. He had taken the job and risked his life for just one million dollars. While Dustin's formula was being offered for a handsome ten million d

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
