"Turn around? What? Are you able to change things up?" Ezra sniggered condescendingly. He turned around to have a look.All he saw was how great business was for them at Rejuvenaid Pharmaceuticals. Customers were swarming in, and almost everyone in the elite circle of South City had come to show their support. Besides that, there was nothing out of the ordinary."Dustin, I think you're too old for such childish gimmicks. Does such jokes humor you?" Ezra mocked."Hey! Are you just too much of a coward to admit defeat?" Eleanor asked sarcastically. "We have witnesses, evidence, and the signed agreement! There's no point saying more. Just surrender the formula already! It'd be less embarrassing for you that way.""Who said that we've lost? See for yourself, what's that over there?" Dustin gestured in a direction down the road."Hah! Do you think I'd fall for the same trick again?" Ezra huffed without looking back.Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Ezra wasn

Ezra and Eleanor didn't expect so many wealthy people to support Camron Medicals' launch.They began to grow anxious. If this were to carry on, they were beginning to doubt whether they would win."Gentlemen, thank you for showing up and giving us your support. Please, head on in." Lana and Matteo beamed from ear to ear as they welcomed the guests and invited them in for a seat.The Welch and Swanson families dominated the market in South City. With just the Camrons' abilities alone, they would not have been able to get much support. But now that they had help from the Dawson family, many of the wealthy merchants from Easy City turned up to support them. Had it not been for the Dawsons, Camron Medicals would have lost terribly."I never expected you to be prepared for this, Mr. Dawson. I guess now we can have a proper fight against the Welch and Swanson families!" Lana smiled brightly."These are all Dustin's arrangements. I'm only doing things according to his plan." Bo twirled
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1475
Those from the Welch and Swanson families could no longer stay calm. They had planned and schemed for so long but never expected that the Langford family, the head of the eight great families, would support the Camrons.There was a stark difference between the Langford family's and the Welch and Swanson families' statuses. They were not even on the same level! Was it possible that the Camron family actually had the Langfords backing them?"H-How is this possible? Why would the leader of the Langford family show up here?" Eleanor's eyes widened in disbelief.That was Ethan, the leader of the Langford family! He was a powerful and formidable minister of the imperial court. Known to be haughty, he never formed alliances with others.Even if Eleanor's parents invited Ethan, he wouldn't even show up! He wouldn't even care for people like Bo and Dustin. So, who exactly managed to get Ethan to turn up in person?"Things just turned bad for us!" Ezra broke out in a cold sweat, fluster

With everyone's gaze fixed on them, the convoy of luxury cars slowly made their way to the opposite side of the road. Finally, they stopped right at the front of Rejuvenaid Pharmaceuticals.Eleanor was elated at the sight of that. "Haha! They're here for us! Our backup is finally here!""Yes! It's time we show them what we're capable of!" Ezra was also overjoyed.Though Ethan's presence had changed things for them, they were fully prepared to reverse the tides."Who could it be?" Alistair mumbled as he rubbed his chin. Anticipation was evident in his eyes.Most of the Welch and Swanson families' allies were already there. Could there be a surprise in store for them?"Dustin! Lana! Bo!" Eleanor called them out one by one haughtily, "I told you, don't be happy too soon!"What do you think now? Not so happy anymore, are we?""I admit that you're quite a worthy opponent. Unfortunately, we're just much better than you!" Ezra said proudly.As Ezra and Eleanor taunted their opponents

At that moment, not only Eleanor but everyone from the Welch and Swanson families were shocked.Never in their dreams had they expected things to turn out this way.They had a chance at winning the bet had it just been the Langfords. But now, there were even two ancient houses involved. No matter their tricks or abilities, they were all rendered useless.After all, there was a stark difference between wealthy families and ancient houses. They were on entirely different levels! Wealthy families were just rich. But ancient houses wielded power and influence! The rich were nothing compared to the powerful and influential.It would not be an exaggeration to say that ancient houses could wipe out any wealthy family within a night if they wished. That was how different the wealthy families and ancient houses were."The Langfords, the Fallons, and the Ballards … How could this be? What on earth has happened?" Ezra gaped in terror.He simply could not comprehend how an insignificant co

The company was closed even before the Welch and Swanson families could profit from it. In addition to having a warehouse full of the ointment, the money invested had also gone down the drain because they couldn't sell it.Suddenly, the Welch and Swanson families were in deep waters. On the other hand, the Camron family was in a completely different situation. They had just joined the elite social rank right away because of the support shown by the two ancient houses.Not only were they making money, but they had towered above the most influential families in the city in terms of networking. If this continued, they'd finally be able to join the rank of influential families within three months! By that time, Oakvale would have nine great families!…It was nighttime in the Welch family meeting room. Alistair, the leader of the Welch family, and Barry Swanson, the leader of the Swanson family, were in a discussion. Only a few other core members, like Eleanor and Ezra, were al

"That's enough. There's no point in discussing all these now. Let's redirect our focus on finding a way out of the current situation." Joanne, who had remained silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. She was decisive, swift, and wouldn't give up easily. She would find ways to regain their losses."Obviously, we can no longer sell Rejuvenaid as two ancient houses have spoken." Barry sighed as he looked up and said, "Alistair, you are always full of ideas. "Do you have any ideas how we can recoup some of our losses?""This is too little time for me to think of anything." Alistair looked helpless. If he had any ideas, he wouldn't be worrying right now."Dad! I might have an idea!" Eleanor suddenly had a thought and spoke up."Really? What is it? Tell me." Alistair was immediately intrigued. Everyone else turned to look at her and was ready to listen to her idea."Dad, we got the formula for Rejuvenaid from Dustin. Do you think he may have other similar formulas?" Eleanor said a

Dustin, Lana, Bo, and others gathered around the table to drink and chit-chat.Their new company had just launched, and they had already profited quite a lot. It was the perfect end to their day. They decided to celebrate their success at the Regal Court after a busy day."Hahaha, what an amazing day! That bitch couple, Ezra and Eleanor, finally failed for once! I can't help but laugh whenever I remember their faces when they lost." Bo laughed loudly with his glass raised.He always disliked Eleanor and Ezra. They even went to threaten his sister at her place a few days ago. He finally got his revenge today."This is all thanks to Mr. Dawson's social network. You managed to invite the Fallon family and the Ballard family today. If not, we wouldn't be this successful!" Lana raised her glass with a smile."Hold on …" Bo was taken aback and frantically said, "I thought the Camrons invited the ancient houses? How is the Dawson family involved?""What?" Lana's face froze. "Mr. Dawson,

Austin's words were calm and almost casual. Yet, they struck like thunder and echoed in the hearts of the three assistant generals of the Red Legion.If they answered Austin's questions, there might still be a slim chance of survival. But if they refused, death was the only outcome.After all, who would willingly choose death when they had worked so hard to achieve their wealth and status? Yet, pride and dignity held them back. They didn't want to be branded as traitors.Now, they were caught in a dilemma. Which was more important—their honor or their lives? It was an impossible choice."You have ten seconds left. If you don't speak, you'll lose your chance." Austin's voice was utterly devoid of emotion.His words seemed to pierce their souls, and the three Red Legion assistant generals broke into a cold sweat.As the countdown neared its end, Auron finally couldn't hold back. "Your Highness! I'll talk—I'll tell you everything."Dropping to his knees, he scrambled forward and wa

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
