"Dustin? What in the world are you doing here?" Eleanor furrowed her eyebrows, her expression turning icy at the sight of Dustin. Their past encounters had already made them sworn enemies."Rhys! Why do you keep showing up everywhere? Seriously, talk about bad luck!" Elena grimaced in disgust. Their last visit to Camron Medicals had been a disaster. Instead of gaining an advantage, they faced severe criticism, deepening her resentment toward him."If you two are here for the Dew Balm formula, I strongly advise you to drop that idea right now," Dustin spoke coldly."What does it have to do with you? Stop butting into other's problems!" Eleanor huffed."Exactly! Your life is hanging by a thread, and you dare to meddle in our affairs? Are you trying to speed up your death?" Elena mocked.They knew well that Lana's death was linked to Scott, and they had come to take advantage of the situation. As for Dustin, he was just a step away from death. Once Scott's men went after him, h

The Camron family was terrified of what Scott was capable of.Eleanor's expression softened as she heard the Camron family's pleas. She calmly stated, "I'm willing to give you a chance. I'll hold off on that call and maybe even help the Camron family out of this mess. "But, like I said, you've got to hand over the Dew Balm formula.""No problem, we're good with that. We'll hand over the formula." Corey nodded eagerly.The Camron family's life was flourishing, and they weren't willing to risk their well-being for a simple formula.Eleanor turned to Matteo and asked, "Mr. Camron, what's your take on this?"Matteo pondered, biting his lip, and eventually gave a reluctant nod. The Welch and Forrest families seemed well-prepared and determined. The imposing presence of the Moseys left the Camron family with few options.The group with the secret that everyone desired now had to carry the weight of the sins of the guilty party that was aiming for their doom. This unexpected twist

"Just this pathetic bunch that are trying to pass off as experts? Can't imagine where you get that confidence." Dustin scanned the group with indifference."How outrageous!""This piece of shit sure is daring!"The thugs roared, clearly unhappy about being underestimated by someone younger."Still pretending to be all that, huh?" Elena huffed. Then she ordered, "Guys! Kick him out!""Yes, miss!" The thugs drew their knives and charged at Dustin."Get lost!" Dustin stepped forward, unleashing a powerful surge of energy.As if struck by a truck, more than a dozen thugs were sent flying. They landed several feet away, struggling to get up and coughing up blood.Everyone was shocked seeing this. The Camron family, Eleanor and Elena, were left speechless. No one expected Dustin to be that strong. He effortlessly sent a dozen skilled fighters flying with just one move.It seemed unreal."H-How is this possible?" Eleanor and Elena exchanged bewildered glances. They had brought

"Rhys! You're treading on thin ice!" Eleanor's face twisted into a menacing expression. "I'm warning you—kneel before me and beg for forgiveness! Or I'll bring in Scott Mosey, and he'll personally deal with you!"The Camron family immediately panicked at her words."Dustin! You've really messed up this time! These two are the heiresses of influential families. If you lay a finger on them, it's like poking a bear in the eye!""What are you waiting for? Get down on your knees and apologize! Otherwise, once Scott Mosey shows up, you're dead meat!""It's one thing to look for trouble, but dragging us into it? You've brought nothing but trouble to the Camron family!"As Eleanor and Elena witnessed the panic-stricken faces of the Camrons, they grew smug. So what if Dustin could throw a punch? Could he really take on the Moseys' army? Once Scott showed up, even if Dustin had some extraordinary abilities, he would only be sending himself to an early death!"What? Are you scared now

"Rhys! You've really messed up this time!"Killing Sir Mosey's godson is like stirring up a hornet's nest! No matter how big Dragonmarsh is, there is nowhere for you to hide!"Elena was clearly shocked by the turn of events. She always considered the Moseys her safety net, going out of her way to please Dahlia and Scott. Eleanor believed having their support would give her an advantage. However, she never expected Dustin actually to dare go against her main support.His action wasn't just bold; it was downright crazy!"Dead ... he's dead? Scott Mosey is actually dead?""Dustin! Do you even realize what you've done? This time, you've really messed us up!"After a moment of shock, the Camron family erupted in an uproar. They were filled with despair.With Scott dead, things had escalated. Once the Moseys started investigating it, the Camron family would be in deep trouble."One person had to the plunge. I was the one that killed Scott. I'll face the consequences," Dustin said

Dustin remained firm as he said, "I'll do whatever it takes to bring down both the Welch family and Forrest family. You'll be nothing but wreckage left!""Wreckage? What a joke!" Eleanor scoffed. "Rhys, who do you think you are? A countryside doctor challenging two major families?""Exactly! You're barely keeping your head above water, yet you're threatening us? "Let me enlighten you. I've discreetly tipped off the Moseys. Once their forces show up, there'll be no escaping for you!" Elena declared.In their eyes, Dustin was already a goner, struggling for his life."I gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it. Well then, don't blame me for being ruthless," Dustin stated, grabbing his phone to send out a few messages. He had already reached out to every connection he had in Oakvale, aiming to make the Forrest and Welch families pay a hefty price."Nice try!" Eleanor scoffed. "Do you really think sending a few messages can rattle us? How pathetic! I've weathered storms y

The Moseys' convoy stormed into the Camron manor, coming to a halt at the entrance.The assistant general leaped out and led a fully armed squad of soldiers. They advanced with authority."Who called us here?" With a stern expression, the assistant general scanned the memorial hall with sharp eyes."That was me! I'm Elena from the Forrest family." Elena quickly raised her hand and explained, "General, I have a strong connection with Mr. Mosey. I just witnessed someone killing him here. You need to catch the murderer quickly!""Who was the murderer?" The assistant general asked in a low voice.Word of Scott's death had quickly circulated throughout the entire Mosey family. Dustin had stormed into Jadeleaf Manor. He openly attacked Scott and severed his head. Upon learning of this, Seamus was furious and personally ordered harsh punishment for the assailant.The Moseys' forces were mobilized in no time, combing every inch of Dragonmarsh for the murderer. So, when they receive

Matteo had promised to hand over the formula just to protect his family earlier. But Eleanor had betrayed them and now caused the doom of the Camron family with just a few words. She was absolutely evil!Even in the face of pleas and rebukes from the Camron family, Eleanor remained unfazed. She nodded at the assistant general of the Moseys mansion and declared, "General, Mr. Mosey's death can't be in vain. "These suspicious people must all be captured and punished severely to set an example and establish authority."Upon hearing this, the assistant general nodded. He commanded and gestured to his men. "Men! Seize all these culprits and subject them to thorough interrogation!""Wait!" Dustin stepped forward suddenly, his tone icy. "I killed Scott, and it has nothing to do with the Camron family. I'm ready to bear all the consequences."The assistant general huffed. "You, the murderer, will naturally face severe punishment. But these accomplices won't escape either!" "If an

"Get lost! I'm not in the mood for anything right now. If you want to eat, go on your own." Warrick snapped, looking annoyed."I'm not going either," Percival refused flatly. "I'm on a health regimen these days—only tea, no alcohol.""Fine. If you're going to wait, then keep waiting. I won't be sticking around." Huxley forced a smile and acted like he was about to leave.But as he turned, he almost bumped into Boston, who was approaching from the other direction."Sorry, Sir Thatcher! I hope I didn't startle you." Since he was surrounded by so many high-ranking officials, Boston was already on edge. He had momentarily spaced out and almost caused a mishap by running into Huxley, which left him flustered and a bit tongue-tied.Unlike the other generals, Boston didn't come from an influential background or have any powerful connections. He had worked his way up from the bottom, and the last thing he wanted was to offend Huxley and risk losing everything he had fought so hard for.
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2451
After parting ways with Boston, Jovian checked into a nearby hotel to await the good news. Boston wasted no time. After changing into a fresh set of clothes, he headed to the castle to deliver a letter of introduction. But when he arrived, he was stunned by what he saw.The gates of the West Lucozian monarchy had already gathered quite a few people, and among them were several figures he immediately recognized. These included Huxley Thatcher, the Commander of the Militia; Warrick Prescott, the Major General of the State Guard; and Percival Wentworth, the Chancellor of the National Academy.These three were first-ranking officials. In West Lucozia, they were nothing short of kingmakers who wielded immense power and influence. Warrick, in particular, was two ranks above Boston. Hence, he felt the need to be cautious in his presence and was eager not to make a bad impression.Alongside these three prominent figures, several second- and third-ranking officials also stood in line at

The following morning, Jovian stood at the entrance of West Lucozia Airport, wearing a sharp suit.Before the trip, he had contacted his comrade with whom he had fought side by side in the military. After earning military merit and with the Ballard family's influence, he was fortunate enough to stay in Oakvale and secure a decent position.His comrade, on the other hand, had moved to West Lucozia to carve out a life for himself. Years of hard work had paid off—he was now a third-rank general with considerable power, influence, and a strong network of connections. Jovian's meeting with the Prince of West Lucozia would depend entirely on his comrade's connections.Just then, the roar of an engine cut through the air as a military jeep pulled up beside him. The window rolled down, and the first thing that came into view was a bald head gleaming in the sunlight like a lightbulb. The glare nearly blinded him.Under that shiny dome was a face that looked ordinary at first glance. But w

"Grandfather, I understand why you sent Uncle Jonathan and Uncle Jensen to the Spanner and Fallon families to gather information," Natasha began. "But West Lucozia is thousands of miles away."She shook her head slightly. "They've always stayed out of the government's political matters. Sending Uncle Jovian there wouldn't achieve anything. He'd likely just be turned away." Oakvale and West Lucozia were worlds apart. The fight for the Oakvale throne didn't really affect the West Lucozian monarchy. Both sides had long adhered to an unspoken agreement to avoid meddling in each other's affairs."I know, but it'll be different this time. The royal throne is at stake, and every faction will do whatever it takes to secure West Lucozia's support. If the West Lucozian monarchy picks a side, the balance we've maintained for years will collapse. That's why I need to be ready for whatever happens," Simon replied.It would be best if the West Lucozian monarchy stayed out of the political strug

At the Ballard estate, Dustin was warmly welcomed to stay after dinner. This was the first time Natasha had brought her boyfriend home, so the Ballards made a big deal of it.Simon personally accompanied the young couple and invited them to the study to chat over tea. With his sharp eye, Simon could tell Dustin was no ordinary martial artist. His manners, speech, and broad knowledge set him apart from most people."Dustin, I fully support your relationship with Natasha. Your background or status doesn't matter. What matters most is that you two are happy together." Simon paused and said earnestly, "I want you to understand that she's been pampered all her life and hasn't faced much hardship. Now that she's with you, I hope you'll take good care of her.""Don't worry, Mr. Ballard. I would never let her down," Dustin replied sincerely.Though they had known each other for some time and hadn't yet taken their relationship to the next level, they had already made their feelings clear

After hearing Nathaniel's words, Tristan's expression darkened. His brow furrowed as he sank into deep thought.It seemed he had underestimated the situation. He had assumed it was just a simple rivalry between brothers; he hadn't anticipated Seamus seizing the chance to further his own agenda.Seamus already wielded considerable influence. Under the guise of supporting Matthias' ascension to the throne, he had been forming alliances and recruiting talents. His influence had grown to rival the royal family's.If Seamus really supported Matthias' ascension, he'd overshadow the king, and no one would be able to stop him. The worst-case scenario would be Seamus using Matthias as a puppet to overthrow the House of Linsor."Nathaniel, is everything you said true?" Tristan frowned."Absolutely. Every word," Nathaniel replied solemnly. "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate.""I believe you. But… taking down Seamus won't be easy. Do you have a plan?" Tr

An hour later, Nathaniel quietly entered a private mansion wearing a disguise.Inside the living room, Tristan had already prepared tea and refreshments. He looked as if he had been waiting for a long time."Sorry to have kept you waiting, Tristan." Nathaniel took off his coat and walked forward with a smile."No need to apologize. I'm happy that you made the effort to arrange this. A few extra minutes are nothing, especially since it's rare for us to meet." Tristan gestured for him to sit while he poured two cups of tea and handed one to his brother.Nathaniel accepted the cup and discreetly set it aside. Whenever he was out, he was always cautious about food and drink—this wariness had become second nature."You asked to meet me on short notice. Is this about official matters or something personal?" Tristan took a sip from his cup and got straight to the point."Both," Nathaniel replied, still smiling."Oh?" Tristan raised an eyebrow. "Let's hear it, then.""Given how things

In another luxurious mansion in the Inner City, a female spy dressed in black, cloaked in a hood, was reporting the results of her investigation to Nathaniel."Your Highness, the Moseys have been particularly active recently and are rallying allies. Many of the eight great families and other influential factions have already allied with them. If left unchecked, they'll pose a serious threat to us," she said, kneeling with her head lowered slightly."So the Moseys are backing Matthias, huh?" Nathaniel sat quietly, his expression unreadable."The Moseys have grand ambitions. While they claim to support Prince Matthias, they're merely setting him up as a puppet to rise to power and expand their own influence," she revealed.She had been infiltrating the Moseys' mansion for years and had gained a deep understanding of their operations, from the smallest details to the key players.Though Seamus appeared as a benevolent philanthropist, it was all a façade. Behind closed doors, he was r

That night, two young men sat playing chess inside a secluded mansion in the Inner City. On the left was Anders, who had visited the Ballard estate earlier. Across from him sat Matthias, a broad-shouldered man dressed in richly adorned robes.The game was intense, with fast moves followed by moments of deep thought. About ten minutes later, Anders finally conceded defeat."Anders, you've really improved since we last played. You almost had me there," Matthias said, stroking his beard in mild surprise."You flatter me, Your Highness. My chess skills are nothing compared to yours. If you hadn't gone easy on me, I wouldn't have lasted half as long," Anders replied with a modest smile."You're as smooth with words as ever." Matthias let out a hearty laugh with a look of smug satisfaction. Winning was in his nature—whether in war or on the chessboard, defeat was not an option."Well, we've eaten, and we've played. Let's get to business." With a wave of his hand, he signaled his men t
