"Hahaha!" Dustin was so infuriated that he laughed out loud when he saw the guards rush in.Anyone would have assumed that such a prestigious family would at least put in some effort to uphold their reputation. Who would have guessed that they would act so shamelessly?Not only did they go back on their word, they even betrayed someone who had offered them help in their time of need! And now that things didn’t go their way, they resorted to violence and threats. How tyrannical and despicable!"Caden Murray! Are you about to repay kindness with ingratitude?" Dustin’s gaze frosted over, and an imposing air came over him."Young man, you’d be smart to back off now. Ten million dollars is enough to last you a lifetime. You better not get greedy!" Caden warned.People in his position were only interested in what benefited them. Naturally, he would place connections with the Horst family above an unknown doctor like Dustin."Am I being greedy, or are you the one taking advantage of me? Do yo

When Dustin returned to Peaceful Medical Center, he found a silver Bentley parked right at the entrance.He walked in to see a lady with a beguiling face. Her shapely figure and enchanting temperament, matched with her bewitching smile, made her nothing less than a top-tier seductress."What brings you here, Ms. Harmon?" Dustin was slightly startled. Though they were already familiar with each other, he still found her stunning every time he saw her."Why to see you, of course. You're such a busy person, and you rarely ever come to see me. Surely you can't forbid me from coming here to meet you?" Natasha said begrudgingly."That's not what I meant. Right, how's it going with Immortunol? Are its effects as expected?" Dustin changed the topic awkwardly. "It's much better than expected! I've come here especially to thank you. Immortunol has way better effects than Eternumax. I believe that once Immortunol is launched, the big bucks will start rolling in in no time." Natasha smiled."Is t

Dustin ran his fingers over his lips, savoring the fragrance that still lingered. He blushed.How embarrassing to have a kiss stolen in broad daylight!"Hmph!" A disdainful scoff came from the door.When Dustin looked up, all he saw was a familiar figure walking away indignantly.After she got in the car, Dahlia stepped on the gas and disappeared down the road in the blink of an eye."Was that…Dahlia?" Natasha asked teasingly."Looks like it." Dustin nodded blankly."Aren't you going after her to explain what she just saw?" Natasha lifted a brow."What's there to explain? We're divorced! It's not like I'm cheating on her." Dustin stood his ground."You've got a point there." Natasha smiled."You're mine now, why would you need to explain to anyone else?" She thought to herself.As they were conversing, another car pulled up at the entrance.The car door opened, and in came a paunchy man. It was Malcolm Shane. He took in his surroundings as he entered."Hey, isn't this Dr. Shane? Why is
An Understated Dominance Chapter 166
Malcolm was surprised that Natasha actually accepted the needles so readily. Was she not going to at least act modest by declining his offer?"Before I forget, Dr. Shane, since you have a keen eye for valuables, I have something I'd like you to help me evaluate," Natasha requested after accepting the golden needles."Oh? What is it? Please let me have a look," Malcolm said confidently."Here." Natasha showed him a green pill.Malcolm took the pill from her and nodded with satisfaction after having a good look at it. "This crystal clear pill has a bright luster to it, and it gives off a distinct fragrance. From the looks of it, it's quite remarkable!""What good judgment, Dr. Shane!" Natasha gave him a thumbs up. "This pill is called Immortunol. It can enhance a person's beauty, promote longevity, and has anti-aging effects. If you're not worried that we've spiked it, you may give it a try, Dr. Shane.""So what if it's spiked? What fear have I of poison?" Malcolm smiled proudly and swa

Two days later, the Hummers' held the official press conference for the launch of Eternumax at the Hillview Hotel.News about it had spread for several days, and with the Hummers' unceasing effort to promote it, there was a great deal of discussion surrounding it. Such an amazing drug with beautifying properties that could also improve longevity drew the attention of countless people.So the press conference, which was grandly decorated, bustled with activity. There was a never-ending stream of guests that made their way in.Right around noon, a silver Bentley pulled up at the entrance of the Hillview Hotel. When the car door opened, Natasha slowly made her way out of the car, her arms around Dustin's.As always, she was the center of attention wherever she went. It was hard for anyone to take their eyes off her shapely figure and alluring face.Dustin, who was clad in a three-piece suit, seemed to have gone through a thorough makeover. He looked handsome and suave, and carried himself

Jessica was frozen on the spot and struggled for words when she saw how humbly Malcolm was seeking guidance from Dustin.She had never once thought that the arrogant and haughty Dr. Malcolm Shane had such a side to him.And most importantly, the person from whom he was modestly seeking advice was the boy toy, Dustin Rhys. It was mind-boggling indeed."I don't think I'm fit to give you any advice, Dr. Shane, but I'd gladly help wherever I can. We can both share our thoughts." Dustin smiled."Sure, we can do that. Now, have a look here…" Malcolm took out the ancient manuscript and immediately dove into it. He started pointing out some of the areas that he had trouble understanding."Oh, this is actually quite simple. Take this for example: Put a hundred different insects into a jar, and let them fight among themselves. After a month, open up the jar, and by then there will only be one remaining insect. The rest of them would have been eaten up by this surviving insect, and this will be t

Looking at the crowd in the hall, Edwin couldn’t help but smile broadly. As expected, everything was going smoothly. Once the product launch was done by today, Eternumax’s reputation would be spread far and wide! When that time came, his aim wouldn’t be limited to Swinton but to market Eternumax throughout the thirteen cities of the South!"Sir Hummer! Congratulations on your launch!" Quentin and his men came up to Edwin, whose face was beaming. "Oh, it’s Mr. Harmon. Please, have a seat," Edwin said pleasantly. "Sir Hummer, Eternumax is really a precious herb! Everyone has been talking about how great it is. Look at the crowd here after hearing about its effects! It's already become so popular that people are coming in droves!" Quentin flattered. "If the product is good, customers will naturally return. Mr. Harmon, you also stocked up quite a bit, it seems like you're going to make a big profit this time." Edwin smiled."It's all thanks to you, Sir Hummer. We're all working

"What do you mean? Can't you speak more clearly? I'm about to make it big!" Quentin rolled his eyes.With the popularity of Eternumax, making a fortune was in the bag. These guys really lacked business acumen!"Sis, did you not remind our cousin not to buy Eternumax?" Ruth turned her head and looked at Natasha."I did remind him, but he didn't listen. I couldn't do anything about it." Natasha shrugged."While there's still time, quickly sell all your Eternumax, even if it’s at a low price. It's better than getting nothing back," Ruth advised. "Sell at a low price? Are you talking nonsense? This is an opportunity for me to multiply my net worth by ten times. How could I give up so easily?" Quentin frowned. "Cousin, I don't think you can increase your net worth by that much. You are more likely to go bankrupt. Don’t you know that my sister has developed a new drug called Immortunol?" Ruth shook her head helplessly. "What Immortunol? I've never heard of it," Quentin sneered."I

"Your Highness, you mustn't speak such nonsense." Langdon put on a righteous front.He continued, "I've always prided myself on my integrity and never done anything dishonorable. I've never betrayed the prince's trust or let the people down, and I have nothing to hide.""Such lofty words," Austin scoffed. "If you have nothing to hide, why not let the enforcement team investigate?"Langdon's face tightened, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes. After all, what official didn't have some skeletons in the closet? A full investigation would likely turn up something, no matter how small. Even if the offenses weren't serious, the damage to his reputation would be permanent.With so many officials watching, Langdon couldn't afford to back down. If he did, he would lose his standing in the political world—and his claim to integrity along with it."Go ahead and investigate." He raised his chin and said confidently, "I've lived an honest life and never engaged in anything illegal. No m

Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn't be bothered by their so-called accusations.His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn't even listening?"Are you done?" Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. "If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you're satisfied.""Your Highness, we're here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing," Langdon said sharply."Serious matters?" Austin let out a short laugh.He went on, "You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they're facts. As far as I'm concerned, you're no different from clowns putting on a show.""You… How dare you!" Langdon

"Are you even qualified to sit while speaking to me?"Austin's words struck like the blow of a hammer. They were sharp and unrelenting, and they left no room for retort.Langdon sat frozen and was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected a brat like Austin to have such a sharp tongue.If he admitted he had come for personal matters, he would keep his pride intact, but he would lose control of the conversation. Everything he had prepared—and all the accusations he meant to throw—would be meaningless.But if he insisted it was official business, he would have to show proper respect and offer a formal greeting. No matter how he answered, he would be conceding ground."I'll ask one more time. Are you here on official or personal matters?" Austin asked coldly."O-Official matters." Cornered, Langdon barely managed to get the words out."Well? Is this how an official conducts himself?" Austin pressed.Langdon had no choice but to rise and offer a deep bow. "Your Highness, it's an h

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
