Chapter 1534

Author: Marina Vittori
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.

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2698

    "Featheredge Deep…" Grace murmured, staring at the deceptively calm blue waters before her. Even light seemed faintly swallowed by its depths. She could sense the strange law-based power lurking within and frowned.The saying that feathers wouldn't float and birds couldn't fly was no exaggeration. Though her cultivation was strong, she doubted she could make a path on such uncanny waters for long.Dustin crouched at the edge. He gathered a strand of mystical pure energy at his fingertip and slowly dipped it into the water. His energy entered without stirring a single ripple. Instead, it sank into what felt like thick gel, each inch of progress growing harder. An invisible, erosive force rapidly ate away at that strand of energy."It does contain unique laws of sinking and dissolution," he said impassively, withdrawing his finger."Ordinary lightfoot techniques are useless here," he continued. "You'd need to form an isolation barrier with your own spiritual energy, or… Use a spe

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2697

    The color drained from Grace's face as she heard Cyran's words. The sliver of hope she had been clinging to was now on the verge of shattering completely because of his revelation.She could almost picture her father consuming that elixir of immortality, only to transform into something monstrous. The vision crushed her beneath a wave of despair and helplessness.Judith quickly kneeled to support her, and her eyes reddened as well.Dustin watched in silence, offering no words of comfort. He knew some realities had to be faced head-on.Cyran looked at the distraught Grace and sighed."Young lady," he said gently, "it's not that I would deny your devotion to your father, but fate is cruel. To harness the essence of the Void-Tyrant Dragon is like drinking poison to quench your thirst. In the end, it would only hasten its escape from the binding seal. "When that happens, countless lives will be lost and everything you hope to protect will vanish. This is the weight of great karma, a

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2696

    As Dustin and the others navigated through the perilous herb garden, every step felt like walking through a minefield. The spiritual herbs that glowed so enticingly now seemed no different from snarling demons in everyone's eyes.Following close behind Dustin, everyone was on edge as they avoided areas with abnormal energy fluctuations. As they reached the far end of the garden, the mist thickened, and the sound of running water grew clearer. They finally broke through the last layer of mist blocking their vision, and the sight left them speechless.A vast expanse of calm water spread out before them, its mirrorlike surface glowing a dreamlike shade of blue. A dense spiritual energy hung above its surface, so thick it almost looked tangible. Each breath they took filled them with renewed strength and calm. Even the internal energy they had depleted earlier in the mist zone and poisonous gas was slowly recovering.At the center of the lake, a small island could vaguely be seen. T

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2695

    Dustin pointed at the inscription on the tablet, specifically the lines that read, "Though it resembles the elixir of immortality, it is in truth a supremely evil thing", and "Those who consume it will have their spirit and soul destroyed, or transformed into dragon puppets.""It seems the rumors we heard about the elixir of immortality likely refer to this Dragonblood Fruit," he said grimly. "It's not a real elixir at all, but a corrupted creation born from the Maleficar Dragon's lingering essence mixing with the life force of this place."The revelation hit Grace like a physical blow, draining the color from her face. After all the hardship and the lives lost along the way, what she had been pursuing was actually a "supremely evil elixir" that could destroy one's soul or turn them into a monster."How… How can this be?" she stammered, stepping back in shock. Was this the end of her only hope to cure her ailing father.Just then, one guard who stayed behind swallowed hard when h

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2694

    After a short rest, Grace let out a soft, steadying breath. She then turned to look at those who had stayed behind.Rhydian's eyes were resolute. The other two guards gripped their weapons tightly despite their pale faces. Cyprian sat slumped against the cave wall, his gaze hollow yet carrying a hint of resigned calm. Meanwhile, Judith looked at her with worry written all over her face.Finally, Grace's eyes settled on Dustin. He remained in meditation, eyes closed, seemingly detached from the world and its troubles. That transcendent calm somehow calmed her restless heart."Let's go," she said.Her voice regained its customary chill, but now underpinned by a grim, do-or-die resolve.As if on cue, Dustin opened his eyes. He gave a single, curt nod. Without a word, he led the way toward the narrow passage at the far end of the cavern.The tunnel was cramped and damp, forcing them to proceed in single file, bent double. The air was thick with the smell of damp earth and decay. It w

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2693

    Kyle and his group clung to the slim hope of taking their share of supplies and finding another way out through the caverns. Even if the chances were slim, it was better than knowingly walking down a dead end with no way back.Rhydian turned pale with fury. He clenched his fists, wanting to berate them. But when he looked at the comrades he'd fought alongside and saw the fear in their eyes, the harsh words died in his throat. He was just as terrified, but duty and loyalty held him back."You… How could you do this?" Judith snapped, her voice tight with frustration as she stamped her foot. "Her Highness has treated you well, and now you would turn tail at the first sign of danger?"Grace looked at the men before her, tears and snot running down their faces as they pleaded desperately. Her heart was a whirlpool of conflicting emotions. There was disappointment, the chill of betrayal, but even more than that, there was a deep sorrow and helplessness.She understood their fear.
