After dealing with Florence, Dahlia turned to Dustin and said calmly, "Dear sir, miss, I'm very sorry for what happened earlier. I assure you there won't be a next time. My apologies again for the disturbance." After she spoke, she lowered her head slightly to show her sincerity. The crowd nodded in approval as they watched her apology. As Sir Mosey's goddaughter, her status was second only to him. And offering a public apology was a level of humility not easily found. Her awareness of putting the situation first made the public realize that Sir Mosey had put his trust in the right person. "There's no need for such formality, Ms. Nicholson. We never wanted to make the situation worse. Having this resolved peacefully was the best outcome we could ask for." Dustin nodded slightly. "Sir, you are indeed a sensible man. May I ask for your name?" Dahlia asked politely. "I'm Rhett Adams. And this is my sister, Abigail Adams," Dustin replied. "Mr. and Ms. Adams, welcome. You a

While speaking, Seamus waved in all directions. He didn't look authoritative whatsoever. "That's the legendary Sir Mosey? He looks different from what I imagined." Abigail was puzzled as she gazed at the friendly, plump man in front of her. She had imagined a prince to be imposing and dignified. A figure that would command respect with just a glance. She was slightly disappointed with Seamus' appearance and temperament. "Are you thinking that he doesn't match the image of a prince?" Dustin asked with a smile."Yeah, he looks no different from a regular guy. Quite a contrast to Anders." Abigail nodded."Your judgment might be a bit off." Dustin shook his head. "Anders is indeed impressive. Even so, his success is ultimately rooted in the support of an influential figure. That gives him not only a head start but a relatively smooth path."Sir Mosey, on the other hand, built himself from the bottom up. He rose to the status of a prince solely through his efforts. He is the tr

When the black cloth fell, a stir swept through the crowd. They were astonished to discover that the iron cage contained a ferocious beast—a creature resembling a tiger but with a much larger build. It had pitch-black fur that emitted a metallic sheen and two long protruding fangs. Each was about a foot in length, resembling sharp swords. The claws on its paws extended like steel talons with traces of blood and flesh clinging to them. It looked extremely intimidating, sending shivers down the spines of the onlookers. Fortunately, the beast remained in a deep slumber, displaying no signs of aggression."Godfather, this is an Onyxclaw that I captured from the ancient forests of the eastern frontier. It is the king of beasts and is extremely ferocious. "It's not only powerful, but its fur is also incredibly tough, immune to blades and bullets. It's truly a rare creature."It took me quite the effort to capture this creature successfully. Do you like it?" Anders declared loudly a

After a moment, the slumbering Onyxclaw slowly opened its eyes. At the same time, a fully armed team of guards surrounded it, keeping vigilant for a reaction. They would restrain it immediately if they noticed any abnormality or aggressive behavior.The Onyxclaw seemed aware of its surrounding threat and dared not make any sudden movements. It laid down obediently in the presence of the guards."Come out!" Anders shouted.The Onyxclaw snorted and walked leisurely out of the iron cage. Its massive body resembled a tiny mountain, giving off oppressive dominance. Anders, tall as he was, appeared small in front of the Onyxclaw. It seemed as though it could swallow him in a single gulp."I heard you can discern good from evil. Now, show everyone your abilities. Of course, if you dare to misbehave, I'll have you slaughtered for soup!" Anders ordered coldly. Upon hearing this, the Onyxclaw's fur bristled slightly. It instinctively moved away from Anders, clearly fearful of him.

Abigail was weirded out and felt uneasy as she watched the Onyxclaw come to a stop. She wasn't afraid. She was just worried that her identity would be exposed. "Dustin, didn't you say it couldn't distinguish between good and evil? Why did it stop in front of us? Did it realize something?" Abigail squeaked through her teeth. "It's just a coincidence. Don't worry, relax. It'll leave soon," Dustin reassured her gently. He had just finished speaking when the Onyxclaw suddenly lowered its head, and its long canine almost touched Dustin's head. It breathed heavily onto Dustin's face. It felt warm but gave off a pungent smell. Dustin held his breath and muttered silently, "Buddy, you'd better not mess around, or I'll kill you."Seemingly sensing Dustin's threat, the Onyxclaw snorted and shifted its massive head toward Abigail. She clenched her fists, barely holding back the urge to strike.The Onyxclaw was close to the size of an elephant. With its proximity, one bite could easil

Julie clutched her severed arm, screaming in agony. She couldn't have dreamt that the Onyxclaw would suddenly attack."What's going on?" Everyone was stunned by this turn of events. The Onyxclaw had been docile the entire time, showing no signs of aggression even when others had touched it. Why did it suddenly go berserk? Was the woman some heinous criminal?The crowd was still when the Onyxclaw's beastly pupils turned a bloody red. Instead of targeting Julie, it shifted its attention to Dahlia, baring its teeth and displaying a fierce expression.The Onyxclaw let out a piercing roar, and its massive body lunged toward Dahlia."Quick, stop it!" Anders roared. The prepared guards immediately threw out a large steel net, securely trapping the Onyxclaw. Following that, they fired a barrage of potent tranquilizer darts at the creature.However, the Onyxclaw had gone completely crazy and turned exceptionally irritable. Its massive body writhed violently, and its sharp claws tore th
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1527
With its head forcefully pressed into the ground, the Onyxclaw's furious roars were deafening. Its body thrashed wildly, and its limbs pounded the ground incessantly, sending gravel flying and leaving claw marks everywhere. However, regardless of how hard it thrashed, it couldn't break free. Dustin stood like an immovable force, completely subduing the beast. The crowd was dumbfounded by what they were seeing. Nobody expected Dustin to be so strong that he could subdue the immensely powerful Onyxclaw on his own. Just moments ago, even a dozen fully armed guards had failed to deal with the ferocious beast, showcasing its formidable nature. After all, to be able to serve the Veros Warrior, one would certainly have to be an exceptional fighter. Despite the creature's overwhelming strength, Dustin, a seemingly unremarkable young man, effortlessly controlled it. The astonishment among the spectators was palpable."Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"The Onyxclaw continued roaring and

Everyone now looked at Dahlia differently. Rumors had always been circulating about Seamus' new goddaughter, ranging from being an illegitimate child to a reincarnation of a fox spirit, creating a myriad of speculations. The earlier incident only intensified suspicions about her identity."Thank you for coming to my rescue, Mr. Adams. I am truly grateful." Dahlia approached Dustin and thanked him after regaining her composure. She would currently be inside a beast if it hadn't been for him. "It was nothing," Dustin responded nonchalantly.He never intended to attract attention. But he couldn't help but intervene when he saw Dahlia in danger. "Young man, you are undoubtedly highly skilled and courageous. You single-handedly subdued the Onyxclaw. It's truly remarkable!" Suddenly, Seamus spoke. "You're too kind, Sir Mosey. My skills are nothing worth mentioning," Dustin replied humbly. "You're too modest, young man. I must offer you a toast for your brave act." Seamus smi

After a night of chaos, some of the Red Legion's members were killed, others were captured, and the entire force had been wiped out.But the fallout didn't stop there. The Prescott estate was also raided. All embezzled wealth was confiscated, and those found guilty were thrown into prison.Anyone connected to the Prescotts was placed under house arrest and subjected to rigorous investigation.And the man behind it—Warrick—had become the kingdom's most wanted fugitive.Until he was captured, Celestria remained under lockdown. Major roads were sealed off, and patrol teams scoured every corner to ensure Warrick had no way out.Austin's crackdown sparked outrage among senior officials who didn't know the full story. They voiced their dissatisfaction, with some even gathering outside the castle gates in protest. They stomped their feet in outrage, just short of openly cursing him.To them, Warrick had made great contributions to the nation. Even if he had committed crimes, he didn't d

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
