An Understated Dominance Chapter 1336
"The Iceheart Lotus and the Emerald Corolla," Dustin listed the herbs he needed.The Welch family was a notch above the Swanson family in terms of power and influence. As long as they put some effort into it, they should be able to get their hands on those herbs."Young man, you've got quite the appetite for good things, haven't you? The herbs you mentioned are precious herbs that are extremely valuable! Aren't you a bit greedy to be asking for three precious herbs in return for a formula?" Joanne's brow knitted together in displeasure."I can't say the same for other formulas, Mrs. Welch. But the formula for Dew Balm is definitely worth as much. The profit it can bring the Welch family certainly exceeds the value of those herbs," Dustin guaranteed."Is that so?" Joanne's gaze on Dustin was sharp as she tried to read his expression.However, there wasn't a hint of guilt in his eyes. He simply looked back at her boldly. And that was enough to tell Joanne that he wasn't lying. "

"I'm sorry, Dustin," Eleanor remorsefully said when they reached the gates. "The Dragon Panax should have been a gift. I didn't expect my mother to pull something like that and ruin my plan.""There is no need to apologize, Ms. Welch. Without your help, I would never have obtained the Dragon Panax, nor would I have been able to strike a deal with your mother. "This is the best outcome I could have asked for." Dustin chuckled.It was not a loss for him since he got the three precious herbs in exchange for a mere formula."You're alright with this?" Eleanor perked up."Of course." Dustin nodded, smiling."Hehe! I really like you, Dustin. You're a friend I'd like to keep!"Eleanor smiled, showing off her dimples. "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Come on, I know a restaurant that serves really good food. Let's go!"With that, she dragged Dustin into her car.Just then, her phone started to ring. As she answered the call, a deep voice was heard saying, "Ms. Welch, we've got

Ezra was a typical player who would never change his ways. Eleanor should consider herself lucky for discovering his true colors before they got married. Otherwise, it would have been too late."Of course, I know that I should let go. But not without making him pay first!" Eleanor gritted her teeth, full of resentment."How dare he treat me like this? I'm not letting him off easily! "I'll make him regret messing with me! I'll make him understand that losing me is the biggest loss of his god-damned life!""What do you have in mind?" Dustin questioned."Since he's cheating on me with other women, I'll get myself a man. I'll humiliate and piss him off!" Eleanor sniffled. All of a sudden, her gaze landed on Dustin. "You'll be my boyfriend from now on, Dustin. I'll show him that he isn't the only one who can mess around!""What?" Dustin was startled. "Are you kidding, Ms. Welch? We barely know each other.""So what? Do you think I'm not good enough for you?" Eleanor huffed."I'

When the door was kicked open, everyone was stunned and instinctively looked over.A fashionably dressed and sweet-looking Eleanor stood at the door. She walked in with an air of indifference. Dustin trailed in behind her casually."Eleanor?""Ms. Welch?"When they saw who it was, everyone's expression changed. Especially Ezra, who immediately withdrew his hand from the lady's waist as if he was electrocuted. Then, he stood up and forced a smile. "Eleanor, why are you here?""What, you can be here, and I can't?" Eleanor glanced at the lady before fixing her gaze on Ezra.Though she had mentally prepared herself, it still angered her to see the cheating couple behave so intimately."Sure you can! But why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have made arrangements for you," Ezra said with a smile."No need. I'm just here to have a look."As Eleanor spoke, her gaze trailed over to the lady on the couch, who looked nervous. Eleanor asked casually, "Who's this beside you? I

The most infuriating thing was that Eleanor showed up in front of Ezra and her friend with benefits! That was a blatant provocation!"Eleanor, why have I never met this best friend of yours?" Ezra took a deep breath to suppress his anger."Do I need your permission to have friends now?" Eleanor asked flatly. "Besides, you have some girl friends whom I've never met before, too.""I—" Ezra wanted to retort but found nothing he could say. He knew what this was about now. This woman was intentionally pissing him off to get back at him."What a rare occasion that we're all gathered here today, Eleanor. Here, have a drink."Seeing that things were starting to look ugly, Sheehan forced a smile and tried to diffuse the situation."I don't drink." Eleanor refused frostily."Oh, that's alright. You can just have some fruit juice, then. Anything that suits your taste."Sheehan chuckled deferentially before turning to give a waiter some orders. A while later, the waiter returned with a

"Dustin, they're planning something. You can just ignore them," Eleanor swiftly advised Dustin against it.She had volunteered herself because she was sure Sheehan wouldn't dare try anything dirty with her. But if it was Dustin, she couldn't be sure that they wouldn't make a fool out of him."Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Dustin smiled at Eleanor before looking at Sheehan. "How should I assist you, Mr. Crock?""It's easy. I need a drop of your blood and a few strands of your hair. After that, just wait for my cue." Sheehan grinned."Sure." Dustin nodded and pulled out a silver needle to prick his index finger. Then, he squeezed a drop of his blood into an empty glass.Next, he plucked a few strands of hair and dropped them into the cup. "Will this do?" he asked."Yes, this will do." Sheehan grinned impishly and gave Ezra a look.Ezra nodded with a smile and relaxed on the couch, looking like he was ready to enjoy a show. He knew very well what Sheehan was capable of

"Don't worry, Eleanor, we're just having fun. We won't do anything to him," Ezra soothed."Hmph! You'd better not!" Eleanor frowned but held herself backShe was just worried that she might hurt Dustin if she acted rashly."Hey Crock, is he truly under your control now?" one of the ladies asked."Of course!" Sheehan grinned arrogantly. "He's nothing more than a walking corpse now. He doesn't feel pain and won't have any memories of what's happening."He will do whatever I ask without questioning and never remember doing it after this.""Really? Well, can you get him to hit himself, then?" the lady asked eagerly."Sure." Sheehan smirked as he turned to Dustin and ordered, "Now, slap yourself across the face with your hand.""Sheehan! You—" Eleanor was just about to stop them, but Dustin had already lifted his hand. Then, under the astonished looks of everyone present, he slapped Sheehan.The slap sent Sheehan staggering backward. He felt the world spinning, and blood bega

"Damn it! What's going on? Has he gone mad?"Ezra's brows were tightly knit as he looked at Dustin, who looked like he had been possessed. But Ezra dared not go near him because he was afraid he'd be slapped too.Ezra quickly shouted, "Sheehan! The guy's gone mad! Quick! Break the spell!""Ter-ter-terminate!"Sheehan promptly tore the talisman off Dustin's chest as he endured the immense pain he was in. The next moment, Dustin shuddered and stopped moving.Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. It was finally over.Damn it! The bastard truly had the strength of a bull once he lost control. No ordinary man could hold him back!"What happened?" After taking several deep breaths, Dustin slowly opened his eyes. With a look of confusion on his face, he asked, "What just happened?"He looked around him, looking bewildered. "Hey … What happened to all your faces?"The few young men who had been slapped gritted their teeth in annoyance. Though they were fuming inwardly, they co

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
