An Understated Dominance Chapter 1294
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

"Mr. Swanson, I don't like being threatened. "Let me give you some advice: don't mess with me, or your Swanson family will regret it," Dustin said casually."You're quite bold, aren't you?" Zion sneered. "Alright, if you're that confident, we'll wait and see." With that, he left. The Swanson family wouldn't want a public confrontation. He would find another way to get the formula later."Kid, you're in trouble now for crossing Mr. Swanson!" Ziggy sneered as he gathered his crew and left.Even though Ziggy's plan failed today, he didn't leave empty-handed. The Swanson family had their eyes on the Dew Balm formula Dustin had. Ziggy believed that getting it would bring them great rewards."Mr. Rhys, we're thankful for your help today. Harmony Healers would've been in a tight spot without you," Brooke expressed his gratitude genuinely."Dr. Busch, it was nothing much. Just helping out," Dustin replied humbly with a smile."You're a talented young person with amazing skills. I

"The medicine's not for sale?" Cody frowned in disappointment.At first, he'd thought he'd found a treasure, but now he was learning about serious side effects. He couldn't help but ask skeptically, "Mr. Rhys, are you serious? Ziggy seemed completely fine earlier."Dustin remained calm as he replied, "The side effects won't show immediately but in about half an hour."Cody continued to ask, "Is there any way to reduce the side effects of the ointment, even if it's only 50% effective?" He hoped a milder version might have fewer side effects.Dustin shook his head. "Not at the moment."He knew both Zion and Cody had questionable motives. Plus, he had no intention of sharing the Dew Balm formula. It could be misused for profit and potentially harm people. After all, he didn't trust Zion and Cody."It's alright if the ointment isn't perfect right now. If you give me the formula, I'll work on improving it. Once it's better, I'll give you 50% of the profits," Cody proposed.Cody was

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

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

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
