An Understated Dominance Chapter 1528
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

"Marriage?" Dahlia frowned immediately upon hearing this. They had just met today, and she barely knew anything about "Rhett". Even if he had saved her life, agreeing to a marital commitment was a big jump. It was evident from Anders' words that he saw her as a tool, a commodity that was up for sale. It made her extremely uncomfortable."Anders, marriage is a serious matter. You shouldn't treat it lightly," Seamus raised an eyebrow."Godfather, Mr. Adams and Dahlia are a match made in heaven. Coupled with his heroic actions, they seemed destined for each other. If they got engaged today, it would undoubtedly be a doubly joyous occasion," Anders advised."Dahlia, what do you think?" Instead of giving a direct answer, Seamus turned to Dahlia for her opinion."Godfather, I'm extremely grateful to Mr. Adams for saving me, but to repay him with marriage is something I just cannot bring myself to do." Dahlia shook her head gently."Dahlia, marriage is often decided by the parents. I

"Alright, since both of them are unwilling, let's drop the matter," Seamus finally spoke. "Young man, you're not only courageous but also possess an outstanding character. Your unwavering commitment to your principles is truly admirable. If you encounter trouble in the future, don't hesitate to reach out to me.""Thank you, Sir Mosey!" Dustin immediately expressed his gratitude with a bow.Dahlia sighed in relief. At the same time, she became curious about the seemingly ordinary man before her. Even though she wasn't one to rely on her appearance, being rejected was an unfamiliar experience. Unknowingly, she felt a twinge of jealousy as she thought about the man's fiancée. It wasn't easy to find such a capable and devoted man. "I hope you won't regret your choice," Anders said in a lowered voice, his gaze growing more hostile. Dustin had inadvertently disrupted two of his plans in a row. What a stroke of misfortune! His hatred for him would not be resolved until he was dealt

"Dustin, since we got what we came for, should we leave now?" Abigail asked."There's no need to rush." Dustin shook his head."If we leave too soon, it might raise suspicion. Let's stay a little while longer. We'll leave when someone leaves.""Alright, there's plenty to eat and drink anyway, and there's performances to watch. And it's all free. I think it's a shame to leave now too." Abigail chuckled.With so many delicacies and fine drinks, they would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars for it themselves. But they could enjoy it all for free here. It was indeed a luxurious experience."Mr. Adams …" Dahlia suddenly approached them with a smile."Thank you for saving my life earlier. If it wasn't for you, I would have been killed by the Onyxclaw. This is a small gift of my appreciation. I hope you'll accept it." As she spoke, she took out an emerald badge and handed it to Dustin with both hands.The back of the emerald badge was exquisitely carved with dragons and phoen

"Your perfume smells strange." Abigail sniffed before she spoke unexpectedly. "Really?" Dahlia sniffed but didn't notice anything unusual."I'm using a regular perfume that many people use too.""It's not the perfume that's the problem. Someone added something to your perfume, probably a hint of blood." Abigail took another sniff and concluded. "You're right." Dustin nodded in agreement. "It would be difficult for an ordinary person to detect the faint scent of blood, but animals have a unique advantage in this regard. The Onyxclaw must have sensed it.""I see." Dahlia nodded in realization.No wonder the Onyxclaw turned aggressive the moment it approached. It turned out that someone had tampered with her perfume."Rhett … I have another question." Abigail tapped her chin thoughtfully and asked, "You mentioned earlier that the Onyxclaw is an intelligent creature. It's also been tamed. It shouldn't have turned so aggressive if it had just been a hint of blood, right?""Th

"Robbed?" The crowd exchanged looks of disbelief upon hearing this. Who could be so bold as to steal something from the Moseys' mansion? Were they not afraid of losing their lives?"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry for being this rude, but the missing item is important to me. Please forgive me." Anders first apologized to the crowd before continuing, "I will now conduct a search with my hunting dogs. I kindly request that everyone stand where you are to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings."After speaking, he made a gesture, instructing his subordinates to secure all entrances and exits. Then, two well-trained hunting dogs arrived, and the inspection began. Even though his actions had crossed a line, nobody dared speak out due to his identity. They could only cooperate obediently."Conduct a thorough search. Don't miss any corner!" Anders commanded with a stern voice.He had returned to his room to rest, only to find his Emerald Corolla missing. This precious rare treas

Even though she knew the man before her was out for her life, she showed no signs of it. "The bigger picture?" Anders' gave her a contemptuous gaze. "Does someone like you understand what a big picture is? Other than Godfather, I have the final say in everything in this house! That is the bigger picture!""Perhaps you have the power and influence, but that doesn't mean you have the right to act recklessly. After all, Godfather is still the one in charge here." Dahlia stood her ground."Haha … Alright, very well!" Anders suddenly laughed, but his gaze was cold. "Dahlia, you truly are smart. That's probably why Godfather values you. Unfortunately, people like you usually don't live long. Take care of yourself."Upon saying that, he patted Dahlia's shoulder and walked away. How dare a powerless woman challenge him? She was digging her own grave!"Ms. Nicholson, you probably have angered Anders for backing us up. I'm afraid you'll have a harder life going forward," Dustin warned.

Upon returning to the villa, Dustin began to make the necessary preparations.He had finally gathered all three precious herbs needed. The rest of the supplementary herbs were prepared beforehand. Next, it was time for the most crucial step—producing Sanctifix. "Maximus, I'll be locked up in there for a day. You need to keep watch vigilantly. No one is to enter and bother me," Dustin reminded."Don't worry, Dustin. Not even a fly will be able to enter these doors!" Maximus guaranteed with a confident pat on his chest.Dustin nodded before looking over at Brooke. "Dr. Busch, I'll leave Mr. Shaffer in your hands then. Nothing must happen to him before I come out of the room.""Rest assured. I might not be able to cure Mr. Shaffer, but I'm fully capable of keeping him alive for some time," Brooke assured. "Great. I'll leave things to the both of you then." Dustin gave them simple instructions and wasted no more time on words before entering the makeshift alchemy room.He had all

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

"Glenn had only seven swords in the past. I didn't expect that in just one year, two more divine swords would recognize him as their master. This punk is much better than I was back then," Cyrus remarked. He stroked his chin with a look of surprise and approval. He had always believed in Glenn's potential, but Glenn's performance had still exceeded his expectations.After all, the more swords Glenn wielded, the stronger he became. He had already topped the Legendary List with just seven swords. Now, with nine, his strength had grown even more overwhelming."He truly is the Chosen One." Even Kaden couldn't help but sigh.The nine divine swords recognized their master and responded with ease. Glenn's talent and cultivation were leagues ahead of his peers.Every generation brought forth new talent, and the old had no choice but to step aside for the new generation. Compared to their time, today's youth were on another level—monsters in their own right."Now, this is going to be int
