Chapter 16

작가: Marina Vittori
"What the hell? Why did he bring so many people?" Chris gulped, feeling faint for some reason. Weren't they supposed to fight one-on-one? Edward had disrespected the rules of a fair fight by involving a gang. Though Chris was cursing in his heart, he had no choice but to face them head-on. No matter what, he couldn't lose face in front of Dahlia.

"That's them. Surround them!" With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards led by Edward dashed forward at once, surrounding Chris, Dahlia, and Lyra.

"What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't you dare touch me. My father is David Nolan, the president of Nolan Pharmaceuticals!" Sensing that he was at a disadvantage, Chris hurriedly threatened them with his father's status.

"So what?" one of the bodyguards yelled. "Do you know who you've messed with? He is Sir Spanner's son, the heir of Drey Group!"

His words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Sir Spanner? Is he talking about Trevor Spanner, King of the Underworld from East City?"

"It must be him!"

"Poor guy. I can't believe he messed with Sir Spanner's son. Looks like he's doomed."

Everyone started whispering to one another, expressing their fear.

"You… you guys work for Sir Spanner?" Chris stammered out of intimidation.

Trevor, also known as Sir Spanner, was East City's infamous King of the Underworld, second only to the Mighty Three. He was a man of ruthlessness who showed no mercy to those who wronged him. Under his command were hundreds of subordinates specialized in blackmail and other types of crimes. In simpler terms, Trevor would be the most feared villain in a story. Whoever offended him would face consequences worse than death.

"Fuck, I've made a huge blunder this time," thought Chris in a cold sweat.

"What's wrong? I thought you were confident. Are you scared now?" Edward closed in on Chris, his eyes filled with viciousness.

"Um, this is a misunderstanding…" Chris forced a smile, sounding extremely submissive.

"Misunderstanding, my ass!" Edward roared in fury, slapping Chris across the face twice, leaving his face marked with red fingerprints. Suppressing his exasperation, Chris bit the bullet and smiled apologetically.

"My father is acquainted with Sir Spanner. Could you let this slide for once? I'll make it up to you."

"Who the fuck do you think you are? You're not in the position to ask me for that." Edward forcefully poked Chris on the forehead with his index finger. With each poke, Chris was forced a step back. At this very moment, Chris had his tail between his legs, not daring to make a sound.

Lyra couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Hey, you bunch of thugs! Do you think it's cool to bully others?"

"Why? Are you angry?" Pushing Chris aside, Edward headed in Dahlia and Lyra's direction with an evil smirk.

"This is the Harmon family's territory. Don't you dare cross the line!" Lyra warned sternly.

"You think I'm afraid of the Harmon family?" Edward scoffed and said, "Besides, you guys were the ones who started the fight. I'm only acting out of self-defense. What is the Harmon family going to do about it?"

"What… what bullshit are you spouting?" Lyra started to become frantic.

"Hmph, looks like you've not understood the situation. Let my men knock some sense into you if that's the case!" Edward gestured for his bodyguards to make a move, and two of them stood forward menacingly.

"Stop right there!" Dahlia suddenly interrupted with a cold voice. "This has nothing to do with her. Let her go."

"Does that mean you will take the responsibility?" Edward let out a cruel chuckle. "Sure. I'll let her off the hook, but in return, you have to sleep with me tonight. If you manage to satisfy me, I'll pretend that none of this happened."

"You're shameless!" Dahlia raised her hand to slap him, but Edward caught her wrist just in time.

"Bitch, how dare you hit me again? Boys, tie her up!"

"Yes, sir!" Several bodyguards complied and immediately seized Dahlia.

"Let go of her, you thugs!" Just as Lyra was about to rescue Dahlia, Edward ruthlessly kicked her to the ground.

"Mr. Nolan… Please save her!" Lyra cried out in pain, unable to get to her feed. Helplessly, she could only beg Chris.

"Edward, let's talk this out. Why involve the women?" Chris tried to persuade Edward. For Dahlia's sake, he had to resort to pleading for mercy.

"Fuck you. I'm not done with you yet, and you're trying to save someone else?" Edward cussed.

"No, no! That's not what I meant. There's no need to get violent. We can settle this peacefully," Chris explained politely.

"Shut your trap!" Edward's heavy slap sent Chris stumbling to the ground. "Say one more word and I will kill you."

Chris shrank back and kept silent. Although he cared about Dahlia, he had to save his skin first. After all, it was unreasonable to offend Sir Spanner over a woman.

"Hmph. Turns out you're just a coward!" Edward jeered, "I don't understand why these women would stick with you."

Chris felt insulted, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"You two, stop struggling already. Take them away. I'm going to have a blast tonight." Then, Edward ordered his men to tie Dahlia and Lyra up and bring them away.

"Mr. Nolan! Please, help us!" Lyra screamed at the top of her lungs. However, Chris didn't react as he kept his head bowed. His cowardness made the people around shake their heads. Obviously, Chris was too timid to do anything. Just when everyone thought that Dahlia would inevitably be violated, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Edward and blocked his path.

"You're not allowed to touch her."

"What the fuck? Are you trying to be the hero too?" Edward sneered.

"I advise you to let her go before things get out of hand," Dustin stated coldly.

Edward chuckled with indifference.

"What if I refuse?"

"Then, go to hell!"

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2708

    "Demons masquerading as immortals." Dustin's declaration landed like a thunderclap in the opulent yet eerie halls of Elysium Immortal Palace.The moment those words fell, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to plummet to freezing. Even the spiritual energy rising from the wine pool solidified for an instant.The men and women indulging in pleasures fell silent as if an invisible hand had clamped their throats. They shrank back in terror, not daring to breathe too loudly.Lysander's fingers froze on the strings of his lap harp, while Valindra's seductive smile vanished, replaced by a mask of cold disdain. Even Malthor, who had been languid and indifferent, finally showed a flicker of distinct anger in his deep-set eyes. The struggles of mere ants might amuse him, but their scorn and defiance were an affront to his authority."Insolent fools!" Talmor snapped first, throwing his wine glass to the ground. It shattered instantly, sending wine splashing everywhere. He sprang

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2707

    The sudden turn of events left Grace, Rhydian, and the others exchanging bewildered glances. They couldn't tell if the invitation was a blessing or a curse.After taking a moment to circulate his internal energy, some color returned to Dustin's pale face. He stared intently at the rainbow bridge, its enticing glow hiding something unknown. His eyes were sharp, measuring every detail. He could sense that Malthor and the others were waiting for him at the far end, inside that lavish palace."It seems we can't uncover the secrets of the Vitalis Pool without taking down the mastermind," Dustin said, slowly rising to his feet.Though his internal energy hadn't fully recovered, his eyes had regained their sharp, resolute gleam. "Stay here. I'll be back soon.""I'm coming with you," Grace said firmly, her eyes filled with resolve.He glanced at her and saw the worry and unyielding resolve in her eyes. Finally, he nodded. "Stay close behind me."She followed him across the Immortal Rec

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2706

    The longsword planted before Dustin hummed incessantly as he formed hand seals. His movements were so fast they blurred into afterimages.The mystical pure energy around him, which had dimmed during the fierce battle, didn't falter. Instead, it now roared to life with even greater depth and restraint, resonating with the fundamental laws of creation itself.Dustin no longer relied on his own internal energy but had become one with the cosmic order."By the Celestial Host Judgement, I command you! Mystical Seal, lock away this evil!"His voice rang low but commanding, each word carrying the weight of divine decree. As the final word left his lips, the longsword planted in the ground erupted with dazzling cyan radiance that shot straight into the sky.Ghostly outlines of the Celestial Host began to shimmer in the void above the platform, which had long been cloaked in the spiritual mist of Vitalis Pool and the malevolent energy of the sealing rift.The vast, ancient, and majestic s

    "Take your positions and protect the princess!"Rhydian gritted his teeth against the searing pain clawing at his mind and let out a raw, guttural roar. He and the two other guards summoned the last reserves of their internal energy to form a makeshift triangular defensive formation, shielding Grace, Judith, and the dying Cyprian behind them.But they all knew that before these four terrifying puppets, their defense was as flimsy as paper. Still, the fight could erupt at any moment.…Deep within Elysium Isle, the opulent palace remained untouched by the chaos outside. Wine and meat flowed freely, and the decadent music never stopped playing.Malthor's figure appeared silently on his enormous white recliner, as if he had never left at all.Lysander stopped playing his lap harp and asked with a smile, "Malthor, you're back?" Talmor and Valindra also turned their gazes toward him.Malthor ignored them. He merely reclined lazily, casually accepting the wine offered by a woman a

    After passing through the dead zone, a breathtaking sight unfolded before them. At the end of the path lay an enormous circular platform constructed from white stone.The platform floated above the waters of the Vitalis Pool. It was surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, with spiritual energy condensing in the air like rain. At its center was a spring no more than ten feet wide. What flowed from this spring was not ordinary lake water, but concentrated spiritual liquid so rich it couldn't dissolve and shimmered with seven-colored radiance. It turned out this was the source of the pure vitality and spiritual energy.The moment they crossed through the Chaos Realm and stepped onto the platform, the pure spiritual energy brought no relief. Instead, a pressure heavier and more terrifying than Thymaleon's, or the chaotic laws themselves, pressed down on them like a mountain.At the center of the platform, the spring still shimmered with seven-colored spiritual liquid. Above it, the se

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2703

    The area felt like a dead zone where the laws of reality itself had broken down. It was a place where even the natural order turned hostile.Cyprian, already weak and missing an arm, could no longer hold on. When the gravity suddenly doubled, his already weakened body could no longer maintain balance. Combined with the horrifying illusions constantly flashing through his mind, his foot slipped. He cried out as he fell toward the lake filled with spatial rifts."Cyprian!" Judith shouted, lunging to grab him, but a chaotic gust of warped air threw her back.Just as he was about to plunge into certain death, a figure in blue appeared beside him like a ghost.Dustin grabbed the back of Cyprian's collar with one hand. With the other, he formed a sword finger and traced several swift motions toward a seemingly calm area ahead that actually concealed densely packed spatial rifts.A low hum resonated as a strange ripple of energy spread outward. The twisted space seemed to flatten as if
