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 2701

    "You guys go first. Follow the stone path and don't stop," Dustin commanded in a low voice.Realizing that defense was no longer an option, he withdrew the disk of light and charged forward instead of retreating. His body shot ahead like a flash of cyan light toward the storm of light beams.His longsword sang as it left the sheath, a sharp, resonant note that cut through the roar. With a flick of his wrist, a torrent of sword light burst forth, forming a rippling cyan barrier in front of him.The beams struck the barrier in a deafening rhythm of metal and thunder, each impact exploding in blinding flashes.Most of the attacks shattered against the barrier, but a few slipped through. They slammed into the lake behind him, sending up columns of crimson water and cracking a section of the stone path underfoot.Rhydian and the others watched with their hearts in their throats, but none dared slow down. Bracing himself against the trembling ground, he shielded Grace, Judith, and Cypri

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2700

    The crimson lake, which had been stirring faintly, suddenly began to churn violently as if some colossal creature were awakening beneath the surface.In the next moment, monstrous tentacles, each as thick as a water barrel, emerged from the lake. They were formed from viscous blood and foul malevolent energy.With a sickening screech and a gale of coppery stench, the tendrils lashed out like a nest of giant serpents. They whipped and coiled from all directions, aiming to crush and entangle the group on the narrow path."Watch out!" Rhydian roared. He swung his blade at the crimson tentacle lunging for Grace. The blade collided with the tentacle, producing the sound of metal clashing against metal as sparks flew. The tentacle was incredibly resilient and contained powerful corrosive energy. The impact numbed his arm, and his blade was instantly covered with a layer of crimson filth, dimming its spiritual light.The two other guards also swung their blades to defend, but their at

    Dustin walked toward the altar, ignoring the intense dark energy emanating from it. He bent down to pick up the bronze waist token. His fingers traced the strange pattern etched into its surface, his eyes glinting with cold detachment."This wasn't done by a single group," he said. "Judging from the age of the bloodstains and the style of the items left behind, at least three different factions have performed blood rituals here over the past few decades."He then moved to a relatively intact corpse. After examining the bones, he noticed the man's sternum had turned an unnatural dark gold, covered in fine cracks."This individual's cultivation was not weak. He was at least in the Grandmaster realm when he was alive. But the cause of death… It seems like some force violently drained all his essence and soul. Even the spiritual essence in his bones was stripped away.""Were the blood rituals meant to communicate with the Void-Tyrant Dragon? Or to weaken it?" Grace asked with a frown.

    "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

    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
