An Understated Dominance Chapter 134
“You dare to hit someone from Boulderthorn? You must be tired of living!” Troy’s gaze immediately turned cold and unfriendly.Troy and Oliver were as close as brothers, and any harm inflicted upon one was seen as an affront to the other.“Save me! Save me!” Tina's eyes lit up with hope at the sight of Oliver and Troy, and she suddenly regained some of her energy.“Don’t worry, Ms. Hummer. With me and Oliver here, this guy won’t be able to harm you!” Troy assured confidently.As soon as he finished speaking, Dustin delivered another brutal slap, causing Tina to be flung across the table.Without a second of hesitation, he immediately proved him wrong.“You—!” Oliver was furious.He was caught off guard by Dustin's unpredictable actions, causing a slight delay in his response.“You bastard! You’re dead meat! Your entire family will be dead! These two are the best fighters in Boulderthorn. You’re just a piece of trash in front of them! I’ll let them break all of your limbs before

"Holy Shit! What just happened?"The crowd was once again in awe upon seeing the broken swords and the two women laying on the floor.They originally thought that Dustin was out of luck, but no one expected that after that face-off, the Boulderthorn girls would be the ones who faced defeat.This outcome shocked everyone in the room."This kid was not all talk?" Oliver’s eye twitched, his face full of shock.The previous time, he could argue and say that they weren’t prepared for the attack. But this time, it was proven that there was a skill disparity."So you do have some tricks up your sleeves. No wonder you dared to cause trouble here." Troy narrowed his eyes as his lips curled into a playful smile.Although Anna and Emma were no match for Troy’s skills, they were certainly enough to defeat a normal fighter. For Dustin to have defeated them so easily spoke volumes about his abilities, even if it wasn't much for Troy."Mr. Williams! Didn’t you say that it wouldn’t be a proble

"Whoosh!" Troy felt a strong gust of wind hit his face, causing his features to contort in pain as he could feel his bone becoming dislocated.His eyes were fixed on Dustin’s fist, which stopped right in front of his chest. Although it was still a few inches away, the intimidating force still caused him to tremble in fear."Blargh!" Blood spurted from his mouth. With just the sheer force of his Fist Energy, Dustin had the power to dislocate the bones in Troy's body. The thought of what would have happened if his fists had actually landed on him was almost too terrifying to contemplate.He was lucky that he had kneeled in time. Otherwise, he would’ve been out cold!"Spare me! Please!" Troy was now on his knees, his face drained of color as he begged frantically. All the confidence he had earlier was gone, replaced by fear and desperation.Rather than shock, Troy was feeling terrified at the moment.That was because when their fists collided, his power shattered like glass in a s

The rain was falling even harder.Edwin was in the middle of a conversation with Fletcher at the Hummer Villa."Mr. Hummer, the first batch of Eternumax has been sold out. On top of that, we received a lot of positive feedback. A lot of people are interested in partnering with us in the long term. Now, we’ll be able to mass produce this product!" Fletcher reported excitedly."That’s the secret recipe for you, alright. Who would’ve thought it would have such great feedback right after its debut?" Edwin laughed joyfully.He originally thought that it would take a while for people to warm up to the product. He didn't expect the opportunity to present itself so quickly.At that point, he must strike the iron while it's hot. "Speaking of which, we should be grateful to the Harmon family. Without their painstaking research all these years, we wouldn't have this baby in our hands right now." Fletcher grinned."Natasha was foolish to dare to fight against me! I'll defeat her once and f

After that big incident at the party, Dustin finally returned to East Swinton Hospital. When he entered the ward, he noticed that Florence and James had already arrived."Which evil bastard beat up my daughter to such a state? How could they be so cruel?!""Exactly! If I find out which bastard did this, I'll tear them into pieces!"Seeing the injured Dahlia, the Nicholsons couldn't help but curse, feeling pity for her."Why are you here? We didn't even contact you." Suddenly, one of them noticed Dustin, who was standing at the door."I came to check on Dahlia's injury." Dustin walked into the room slowly, his face not showing a hint of expression."Get out! You're not welcome here!" James roared, letting out his pent-up anger."Dustin! Tell us the truth. Does my daughter's injury have anything to do with you?!" Florence glared at him."I don't have the details about how she was injured. Perhaps you should ask Julie this question instead." Dustin replied."Julie? Speaking of wh

"What?" Julie’s mind went blank when a pair of swords were held at her neck. She was unable to process what was happening. From the assassins' forced entry to Dustin framing her, everything happened too quickly. When she finally regained her composure, she was already in danger. "Rhys! How could you do this to me!" Seeing as she was about to be held hostage, Julie panicked. "Wait, it’s a mistake! I’m not Dahlia, you’ve got the wrong person!" "Do you think we are stupid? This man told us you are Dahlia Nicholson!" The assassins' leader retorted. "He’s spouting nonsense! Don’t believe him!" Julie said, cold sweat running down her forehead. She never expected Dustin to exact his revenge on her in such a despicable manner!"According to our intel, Dahlia is in this hospital room. If you aren’t Dahlia; why would you be here?" The leader demanded fiercely. "I–I was just passing by—!" Julie stammered. "Fuck! How dare you lie to me? You must be tired of living!" Julie was v

The night grew dark as rain poured down. The streets were empty, as there was no one around. Just then, a fleet of black Hummer vehicles drove in at high speed, splashing puddles of water. The vehicles pulled up at the entrance of a hospital building.As the car doors opened, a group of burly, muscular men got out. One of them was smoking a cigar. He was a large and muscular man with a beard, more than six feet tall, at least a head above normal men. His arms and thighs were bulging with muscle. "Guild master! That man is still inside, he never left." The last assassin pointed to one of the floors of the building. He had been lying in wait for support to arrive as he spied on Dustin. "I expected that you could handle this guy on your own. Why do I still have to be personally involved?" The bearded man narrowed his eyes with displeasure. He was the guild master of the White Dragon guild!"Guild master, don’t underestimate that guy. He took us down as easily as dominoes!

"Who is it?" The sudden explosion caught everyone by surprise. Initially, they thought someone had committed suicide by jumping off the building. However, after a good look, they realized the figure who had jumped off the building was still standing tall. In his hand, he was holding a black umbrella as he stood in the rain, giving off an overwhelming andmysterious aura. "Mr. Rhys! This man's dangerous, run for your life!" Stephan screamed his lungs out. Now that the White Dragon guild was here, why did he join the fray instead of escaping? Was he looking for death?"Punk, are you that Dustin guy?" Dracor sized Dustin up, noting his thin and frail build. "Yes, it's me," Dustin replied."You got some guts for not running away from the sight of me, punk!" Dracor smirked. "Why should I run? I was waiting for you," Dustin said nonchalantly. "Really?" Dracor raised his eyebrows. "Interesting. It's been a long time since I have last seen an arrogant punk like you.""Mr. Rh

At the Ballard estate, Dustin was warmly welcomed to stay after dinner. This was the first time Natasha had brought her boyfriend home, so the Ballards made a big deal of it.Simon personally accompanied the young couple and invited them to the study to chat over tea. With his sharp eye, Simon could tell Dustin was no ordinary martial artist. His manners, speech, and broad knowledge set him apart from most people."Dustin, I fully support your relationship with Natasha. Your background or status doesn't matter. What matters most is that you two are happy together." Simon paused and said earnestly, "I want you to understand that she's been pampered all her life and hasn't faced much hardship. Now that she's with you, I hope you'll take good care of her.""Don't worry, Mr. Ballard. I would never let her down," Dustin replied sincerely.Though they had known each other for some time and hadn't yet taken their relationship to the next level, they had already made their feelings clear

After hearing Nathaniel's words, Tristan's expression darkened. His brow furrowed as he sank into deep thought.It seemed he had underestimated the situation. He had assumed it was just a simple rivalry between brothers; he hadn't anticipated Seamus seizing the chance to further his own agenda.Seamus already wielded considerable influence. Under the guise of supporting Matthias' ascension to the throne, he had been forming alliances and recruiting talents. His influence had grown to rival the royal family's.If Seamus really supported Matthias' ascension, he'd overshadow the king, and no one would be able to stop him. The worst-case scenario would be Seamus using Matthias as a puppet to overthrow the House of Linsor."Nathaniel, is everything you said true?" Tristan frowned."Absolutely. Every word," Nathaniel replied solemnly. "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate.""I believe you. But… taking down Seamus won't be easy. Do you have a plan?" Tr

An hour later, Nathaniel quietly entered a private mansion wearing a disguise.Inside the living room, Tristan had already prepared tea and refreshments. He looked as if he had been waiting for a long time."Sorry to have kept you waiting, Tristan." Nathaniel took off his coat and walked forward with a smile."No need to apologize. I'm happy that you made the effort to arrange this. A few extra minutes are nothing, especially since it's rare for us to meet." Tristan gestured for him to sit while he poured two cups of tea and handed one to his brother.Nathaniel accepted the cup and discreetly set it aside. Whenever he was out, he was always cautious about food and drink—this wariness had become second nature."You asked to meet me on short notice. Is this about official matters or something personal?" Tristan took a sip from his cup and got straight to the point."Both," Nathaniel replied, still smiling."Oh?" Tristan raised an eyebrow. "Let's hear it, then.""Given how things

In another luxurious mansion in the Inner City, a female spy dressed in black, cloaked in a hood, was reporting the results of her investigation to Nathaniel."Your Highness, the Moseys have been particularly active recently and are rallying allies. Many of the eight great families and other influential factions have already allied with them. If left unchecked, they'll pose a serious threat to us," she said, kneeling with her head lowered slightly."So the Moseys are backing Matthias, huh?" Nathaniel sat quietly, his expression unreadable."The Moseys have grand ambitions. While they claim to support Prince Matthias, they're merely setting him up as a puppet to rise to power and expand their own influence," she revealed.She had been infiltrating the Moseys' mansion for years and had gained a deep understanding of their operations, from the smallest details to the key players.Though Seamus appeared as a benevolent philanthropist, it was all a façade. Behind closed doors, he was r

That night, two young men sat playing chess inside a secluded mansion in the Inner City. On the left was Anders, who had visited the Ballard estate earlier. Across from him sat Matthias, a broad-shouldered man dressed in richly adorned robes.The game was intense, with fast moves followed by moments of deep thought. About ten minutes later, Anders finally conceded defeat."Anders, you've really improved since we last played. You almost had me there," Matthias said, stroking his beard in mild surprise."You flatter me, Your Highness. My chess skills are nothing compared to yours. If you hadn't gone easy on me, I wouldn't have lasted half as long," Anders replied with a modest smile."You're as smooth with words as ever." Matthias let out a hearty laugh with a look of smug satisfaction. Winning was in his nature—whether in war or on the chessboard, defeat was not an option."Well, we've eaten, and we've played. Let's get to business." With a wave of his hand, he signaled his men t

"Honestly, we shouldn't waste time debating who's better suited to be king. We just need to figure out who's most likely to take the throne," Jensen said matter-of-factly.As a businessman, he only cared about maximizing profit. To him, it didn't matter who sat on the throne but who had the best odds. He felt that backing that person would be the wisest choice."Who's most likely depends on who has the strongest backing," Jonathan said thoughtfully."Oh, right! I forgot to ask—who are the Moseys supporting?" Jovian asked, smacking his forehead. They'd been discussing this for so long but still hadn't figured out where the Moseys stood."My guess is Prince Nathaniel." Jensen narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the situation. "He's close to Anders. With his immense potential and the king's favor, the Moseys might see him as their best bet.""Anders' personal ties can't speak for the entire Mosey family," Jovian countered, shaking his head. "Family interests outweigh personal relationsh

Even without the king's involvement, the ambitious individuals would tear the Ballard family apart and leave nothing behind.If Simon chose the right side and it prevailed, his family could enjoy a century of stability and prosperity. But if he backed the wrong prince, everything could fall apart in a single night.At that moment, he didn't know what to choose. This was a critical decision—one mistake and the entire family could be ruined."Regarding this matter, I need to think it over carefully. I can't give you an answer just yet," Simon said. He knew the stakes were too high. A single misstep could lead to disaster, so he had to be cautious."I understand," Anders replied with a faint smile. "This isn't an easy decision. Still, I hope Your Lordship can decide soon.""Your Lordship, the forces seeking a marriage alliance with the Mosey family aren't limited to your family alone," Zack added coolly. "Don't think you can afford to wait for the highest bidder. Time is running out,

"In response to Your Lordship's question, this marriage alliance between our two families isn't my decision alone—it's also my godfather's and the entire Mosey family's," Anders said with a smile."According to the established rules, marriages between royal bloodlines are forbidden. Have you forgotten?" Simon replied coolly. "Sticking to outdated rules only holds us back," Anders said, shaking his head with a smile.He continued, "Right now, Dragonmarsh is going through a turbulent time—internally and externally. I've also heard the king's health is deteriorating. There are rumors he plans to name a successor and step down soon."With that, Oakvale will likely be in turmoil. When that happens, all the powerful families—the four ancient houses, the eight great families, and other factions—will be dragged into the chaos."That's why I'm hoping our families can form a marriage alliance to navigate the coming crisis together."Simon remained calm and said, "It's natural for the king

"Dad, what do you think?" Jonathan asked, turning to Simon."A guest has arrived, so we can't be rude. Invite them to the living room so we can discuss things properly," Simon replied calmly.Anders represented the Mosey family, and regardless of his intentions, Simon couldn't simply turn him away. As for the proposed marriage alliance, it was a matter that required thorough consideration."Understood," the butler replied promptly before leaving."Go on with your meal. I'm going to meet with Anders," Simon said, excusing himself from the table.Jonathan, Jensen, and Jovian exchanged glances and, without hesitation, followed their father. They were curious to see what the Mosey family had in mind."Alright, let them handle it. Let's focus on our meal," Gemma Letcher, Natasha's grandmother, said with a smile and signaled everyone to continue eating.…Three minutes later, in the Ballard family's living room, Simon sat at the head of the table near the entrance. Jonathan and his b
