An Understated Dominance Chapter 1720
"Matthias …" Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Grace was about to speak up. However, Dustin spoke first, "I would appear rather ungrateful if I didn't show my appreciation for your generosity. Very well, I'll accept all these treasures!""Huh?" Grace was stunned and swallowed back her words. What was going on? What was Dustin thinking? First, he accepted Tristan's gift, promising to back him in the shadows, and now he was accepting Matthias' treasures without hesitation. What an opportunist! Was the West Lucozian Crown Prince that weak against temptations? "Hahaha ... Great! You're really candid!" Matthias laughed heartily when Dustin agreed. "Guards! Pack up everything here and send them to Logan's residence later!""Thank you for your generosity, Prince Matthias!" Dustin bowed in gratitude."It's nothing." Matthias chuckled. He then changed the subject, "But speaking of which, did Father really not bring up anything special during your conversation?"Hearing th

Matthias fixed his gaze intently on Dustin, his expression brimming with enthusiasm and anticipation. He had only intended to obtain crucial information from Logan, but he didn't expect him to hold such significant influence that directly affected his father's decision.In other words, Logan played an equally important role in determining whether he could ascend to the throne. This realization brought him immense joy."Your unparalleled courage and outstanding military achievements make you most fitting for the throne. However, the final decision ultimately lies in His Majesty's hands. I can only offer a suggestion," Dustin explained."That's fine. I'm satisfied as long as you give me your full support!" Matthias exclaimed excitedly."With your generosity and our shared camaraderie, I will definitely endorse you as the next King," Dustin stated."Excellent! I can rest easy with your assurance." Matthias laughed. "Logan, from today onwards, you are my true brother. If you ever

"So, that's your plan." Grace was slightly surprised, finally understanding Dustin's behavior. It was just as Dustin said, declining Tristan's and Matthias' invitations would undoubtedly anger them, leading to unnecessary trouble. On the contrary, if he could please both princes and keep them happy, it would not only be advantageous for him but also prevent conflicts. While Dustin might appear greedy on the surface, Grace had to admit that his approach was the most sensible solution. After all, it was wiser to not take sides and offend either party. "Well, I'm in a difficult position too. If I had a choice, do you think I'd willingly accept these treasures? They're like hot potatoes and represent a heavy responsibility. But for the greater good, I have to make sacrifices," Dustin explained, shaking his head. "Next time, wipe that smirk off your face before saying something similar," Grace said, rolling her eyes at him. Dustin's shamelessness knew no bounds. Despite gaining

"All these money offers are exhausting me!" Dustin sighed heavily, wearing an expression of helplessness. Every cell in his body was exhausted. Why was it so difficult to get a good night's sleep?"Logan, long time no see!" While Dustin and Grace were whispering to each other, a young man dressed lavishly approached them, accompanied by an imposing entourage. The man had a dignified and graceful demeanor. When he smiled, it was like a breath of fresh air. This man was none other than Dragonmarsh's third prince, Nathaniel Linsor. "It's been ten years. You look amazing as ever, Logan," Nathaniel greeted him warmly as if finally meeting a long-lost friend. He continued, "I remember we used to hunt together back when we were kids. But my aim left much to be desired compared to yours." "Long time no see, Your Royal Highness." Dustin forced a smile."Hello, Nathaniel," Grace greeted him. "Oh, Grace, you're here too? That's great. Both of you can come over to my place for a vi

Nathaniel and Grace were much more refined compared to Dustin, who was wolfing down his food. They savored each bite and ate in moderation. Half an hour later, Dustin finally had his fill. His previously flat belly was now protruding, and he couldn't have been more satisfied. After the last sip of wine, Dustin couldn't help but let out a long, satisfied burp. At this point, a good nap would be perfect. Suddenly, Dustin felt himself feeling more tired. That meal had left him even sleepier. "Logan, are you satisfied with your meal?" Nathaniel asked with a smile."Absolutely. I had a feast today with you serving up rare delicacies." Dustin looked extremely satisfied. Everything tasted good to him when he was hungry. "That's good." Nathaniel nodded, the smile still on his face. "Logan, if I may ask, why were you wandering around so late at night instead of resting? A lot has happened today, and there are checkpoints both inside and outside of Oakvale. You need to be carefu

"There's no need to be humble, Logan. You were once the renowned Kirin. Even if you've been out of practice for a few years, you're still remarkable. I trust in your abilities!"Nathaniel patted Dustin's shoulders like an elder brother would. Dustin wondered whether it was even about his abilities. Clearly, it was the money that was lacking. If only Nathaniel were as generous as his brothers, Dustin wouldn't need to play along like this Despite his inner thoughts, Dustin remained composed on the surface. "Prince Nathaniel, you're too kind. My reputation is nothing compared to yours.""Logan, why don't you consider working with me?"Nathaniel continued meaningfully, "I have the highest chance of ascending to the throne among my brothers. With your support, my chances would be even greater. Backing me would be the wisest choice and the most rewarding investment." "I …" Dustin appeared pensive. Typically, at this point, anyone with common sense would recognize the need to pre

After a relentless effort to stay awake, Dustin's only reward was a piece of blue diamond. What a meager outcome. All three of them were princes, but why were they so different? Dustin decided it didn't matter, only wishing to head home and get some rest. "Prince Nathaniel, it's getting late. I'll be taking my leave first." Dustin excused himself. "Go ahead. I'll come to you when I need your help." Nathaniel nodded with a smile. Dustin and Grace left soon after a simple exchange of pleasantries. Back in the car, Dustin held the unremarkable pendant, shaking his head and sighing. "Grace, your brother is so stingy. How does he expect to win me over with just a pendant?" Dustin complained. "Nathaniel is a cautious man. He doesn't commit too readily until he's absolutely certain. He's already quite generous by presenting you with a fine blue diamond pendant considering his nature," Grace explained with a smile.In fact, had she not spoken up, Dustin probably would have left e

"Grace, there shouldn't be anyone else disturbing me tonight, right?" Dustin asked as he leaned back into his seat. The repeated disturbances had left him mentally exhausted. Each time he attempted to return home and get some sleep, someone would block his way, making him feel like a jumpy rabbit. Even though he was on the verge of exhaustion, he dared not close his eyes. He was afraid of being rudely awakened once he did, as that made it more unbearable. Dustin compared it to the feeling of being interrupted while in the middle of relieving himself."Why? Have you not earned enough?" Grace chuckled."Though making money is important, my life takes precedence. I'm truly exhausted. All I want to do now is sleep," Dustin said, rubbing his tired eyes."Don't worry. The only ones worthy of vying for the throne tonight were the three princes who approached you. My other brothers fall a bit short in various aspects and won't be joining in on the fun," Grace assured."Great." Dustin

"Since Madam Penelope has spoken, I’ll follow her lead," Alloy said with a smile. "What about Mr. Hadley and Sage Foyer?""I'm in if you want to make a bet," Cyrus replied coolly."It's not every day we get an opportunity like this. Let me stir things up a bit." Kaden nodded with a grin.Once the three had agreed, Penelope waved for Abigail to come over.Soon, Abigail approached them with a wide grin. "Esteemed guests, I hear you want to bet. The current odds are—bet on Dustin to win, and you'll get 1.6 times your stake. Bet on Glenn, and it's only 0.4."She continued, "And no worries—if you win, I'll exchange your winnings for celestial stones." Abigail smiled brightly, and the other parties' eyes gleamed with the unmistakable shine of greed.Many had already placed their bets with her. Though she couldn't control the match's outcome, she knew how to adjust the odds to her advantage. Over time, that could turn into a huge fortune."I'm betting on Glenn to win." Cyrus quickly

"We're ready for the ultimate showdown of this tournament. The winner will be crowned the Combat Tournament Champion. Now, let's welcome both contestants to the ring." Oron's voice thundered as he stepped onto the battle ring.There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.The long-awaited showdown was finally at hand. Today's outcome wasn't just about personal glory, but it would also decide the future of the martial world.If Glenn triumphed and claimed the crown, the Sword Union would rise as the undisputed guild. The Celestial Alliance and the Mystic Arts Order would have no choice but to bow to their supremacy.But if Dustin won, it would be even more sensational. A dark horse, without any guild affiliation, defeating the elite disciples of the major guild—such a story would send shockwaves through the martial world.Once that happened, every major guild would fight tooth and nail to claim him. It would spark a fierce battle for dominance."Dr. Rhys! Good luck!"

"H-Hold on! I-I surrender!" Abigail said urgently. With the sword inches away from her throat, she decisively raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.She didn't expect herself to win the match. Her goal was simply to take this opportunity to test Dustin's strength and also gauge her own progress. But now, it was clear that there was still a sizable gap between them."You've done well. In a few more years, I might not even be able to keep up with you." Dustin smiled and lowered his Celestial Blade. His words weren't flattery; he genuinely saw potential in Abigail.The dark Phoenix flames carried a corrosive power that even his mystical pure energy couldn't resist. In other words, Abigail's black flames were the bane of any martial artist.Her journey in the martial world was still short—barely two years. She hadn't unlocked the full potential of her Phoenix bloodline yet. But with more training and experience, the sky was the limit for her."Don't try to console me, Sir. I'm n

With a resounding bang, the golden light erupted with a burst of terrifying energy wave. In an instant, the earth trembled, and fierce winds whipped through the air.Dustin and his sword were sent flying several yards. After landing, he stumbled back several steps before finally steadying himself.He looked up and saw that Abigail's body was now covered in a layer of golden armor, though he couldn't tell when it had happened. The armor glowed brightly, and it made her look imposing and striking.It was clearly a divine artifact.The Mystic Arts Order had been around for centuries, with deep roots and countless treasures. As the Grand Sorceress, Abigail would obviously have several divine artifacts for protection.Dustin wasn't surprised, but the armor's counterforce caught him off guard. Not only did it protect her, but it also had offensive capabilities.When his sword struck the armor earlier, the blow didn't leave a scratch. Instead, the armor absorbed the hit and sent the for

Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.The feathers slammed into the shield and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.Dustin couldn't hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster's internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn't anticipated it couldn't hold up against Abigail's phoenix flame.Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn't afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying."Glaring Wings!" Abigail wasn't done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and

Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement."Fallen Fist!"After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes—dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin's body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.Abigail's black palm shadows exploded on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist e

The whole arena suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly, and not a soul dared to breathe. Alloy shot to his feet in the main spectator seats, and his face was tense with worry. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound. He feared it might startle Glenn into making a mistake that could cost Fenley's life.After all, Fenley represented the future of the Celestial Alliance. Alloy had invested all his effort into Fenley, and he provided him with endless resources. If Fenley were to die in the match, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire guild.While Alloy was gripped with worry, Cyrus and Penelope cheered silently. They secretly hoped Glenn's sword would strike Fenley. If that happened, the Celestial Alliance would take at least a decade to regain its former glory.Fenley's body stiffened as he stared at the Fang Master hovering inches from him. A shiver ran through his spine as goosebumps prickled his skin. Sweat trickled down his face, and each drop hit the ground with a

"Glenn had only seven swords in the past. I didn't expect that in just one year, two more divine swords would recognize him as their master. This punk is much better than I was back then," Cyrus remarked. He stroked his chin with a look of surprise and approval. He had always believed in Glenn's potential, but Glenn's performance had still exceeded his expectations.After all, the more swords Glenn wielded, the stronger he became. He had already topped the Legendary List with just seven swords. Now, with nine, his strength had grown even more overwhelming."He truly is the Chosen One." Even Kaden couldn't help but sigh.The nine divine swords recognized their master and responded with ease. Glenn's talent and cultivation were leagues ahead of his peers.Every generation brought forth new talent, and the old had no choice but to step aside for the new generation. Compared to their time, today's youth were on another level—monsters in their own right."Now, this is going to be int

Compared to the second green sword, Glenn's third sword was even more powerful. As it descended, accompanied by the fury of a fire dragon, it carried the destructive force of a world-shattering storm.Fenley, whose energy flow was disrupted earlier, watched the fiery red long sword streak toward like a falling meteor. His heart raced and was gripped by a sudden sense of impending doom.With a roar, he risked the backlash effect and unleashed a powerful surge of internal energy. The ethereal divine spirit behind him instantly transformed into a figure with three heads and six arms. This was the complete form of the Four Elements of God's Technique.At that instant, he threw everything he had into the fight. He controlled the spirit to slam its giant arms into the flaming sword. With a loud explosion, the sword tore through the spirit's palms and continued its unyielding path toward Fenley. But its speed had slowed slightly.Without hesitation, he controlled the spirit to strike ag
