An Understated Dominance Chapter 539
As soon as Dustin and Dahlia reached one of the wards of Ansdale South Hospital, they were greeted by the ghastly sight of Florence moaning in pain, her body wrapped in bloodstained bandages. "How do you feel, Mom?" Dahlia asked worriedly as she walked into the room."You're finally here, Dahlia!" Florence immediately burst into tears and wailed. "I'm so sorry. I made a mistake, and I don't deserve to live anymore." She slammed her head into the wall several times, tearing up from the pain."What are you doing, Mom?" Dahlia quickly pulled her mother in for a hug to stop her from hurting herself. "Can't we talk this out? Why are you trying to commit suicide?""I—I'm too embarrassed to tell you!" Florence thumped her chest sadly. "James, what in the world happened?" Dahlia looked at her brother, who was standing next to their mother. "Mom got scammed. Our savings are all gone now!" He cried. "Scammed? Elaborate further." Dahlia frowned."Do you remember Julie's boyfriend, Terrence St

James merely held out a finger."Ten million?" Dahlia took a deep breath and tried to suppress her anger. "It's quite a lot, but at least we can still pay it back. Treat it as the price of a lesson learned.""You've got it wrong, Sis. It's not just ten million dollars; it's a hundred million." James mumbled weakly. "A hundred million?!" Dahlia paled. "Are you serious? Where did you get so much money in the first place?""We had a few million in savings. Then, we used our two villas to take out loans. Mom stole the remaining tens of thousands from you." James shrank back and confessed softly. "What?" Dahlia's blood boiled. "A—are you guys crazy? Taking loans and stealing? Who said you could do that?"Who in their right mind would sell their house to invest in a business? What a fool!"It's all my fault, Dahlia. I'm so sorry. I should die instead!" Florence moaned and began banging her head on the wall again, acting so well that she deserved an Oscar. "Enough!" Dahlia yelled. "Rather

"What?" Dustin frowned when Florence's gaze swept toward him. "Why are you looking at me? Are you telling me to be the scapegoat? What the fuck?" he thought. "Dustin …" Florence forced a smile. She took an apple out of her fruit basket and handed it to Dustin. "Aren't you hungry? Here, have an apple.""What are you trying to do?" Dustin looked at her warily. It only raised suspicions more with Florence going out of her way to be kind to him."Well, you heard what we said, didn't you?" Florence forced out a sweet, kind smile. "You've always been a kind person. I'm sure you can't bear to see us lose our money like this, so I hope you can do us a favor.""What favor?" Dustin had his guard up. "Don't you know a few rich women? Why don't you help us sell off those abandoned buildings?""You're asking me to scam people for you?" Dustin raised an eyebrow. "How could you say that?" Florence feigned innocence. "We're not deceiving anyone; we're simply repurposing waste. Those wealthy people

Florence was sure that Dustin was merely refusing to help them.Just then, Julie thought of an idea and said, "Dustin, didn't you say that those buildings are worth a lot? We'll sell them to you right now so that you can make a lot of money. What do you think?""That's right!" Florence echoed. "You should buy them since you seem so interested. That'll benefit both of us.""This is your opportunity. How could I take it away from you?" Dustin refused politely. "It's alright. We're a family. We'll be happy if you make money too." Florence coaxed enthusiastically, gleeful to have found a scapegoat."She's right, Dustin. Don't worry about it. You shouldn't miss such a great opportunity.""Exactly. Just remember to treat us to a meal when you get rich." Everyone smiled so sweetly and acted extremely enthusiastically after finding such a dumb scapegoat. "Are you sure you want to sell them to me?" Dustin pressed."Of course! We won't take a single penny from you. We just want you to return

"Oh, Dustin. You sure are stupid. How can you treasure such worthless buildings?" Florence grinned smugly. At first, she thought she had wasted all her money, but God blessed them by sending them a scapegoat. "Thanks, Dustin, or else we'd be doomed." Florence grinned. "You're such a saint, Dustin. I must say, I'm impressed!" James exclaimed delightedly and gave the other man a thumbs-up."Remember to treat us to a meal once you've made your fortune." Victoria mocked. They had been unfortunate to be swindled by Terrence, but they found someone to take the fall. It was their stroke of luck, or they would have lost all their money."I hope you don't come to regret your decision." Dustin wore a meaningful smile."Regret?" They exchanged amused glances and laughed even louder. How could Dustin still not know that something was wrong? An idiot like him deserved to be scammed."Dustin, what on earth are you thinking? You shouldn't be so reckless even if you have some money, right?" Dahli

"I heard that Mr. Robinson was hurt. Of course, I had to visit." Ruby placed her gifts by Mr. Robinson's bedside and explained. "These are supplements for you. I wish you a speedy recovery.""Thank you." Abigail nodded her head in gratitude."I forgot to introduce you to my mom." Ruby gestured to the woman next to her."Nice to meet you, Mrs. Xenos." Abigail nodded in greeting."Hello." Mrs. Xenos nodded with a smile."You're here too?" Ruby was surprised to see Dustin. "The Doyle family didn't bother you, did they?""No." Dustin shook his head. He couldn't care less about them anyway."Mom, this is the guy who helped me in the bar last time." Ruby smiled."Really? Well, thank you very much." Mrs. Xenos smiled politely."It was nothing." Dustin's gaze suddenly turned serious. "Mrs. Xenos, may I know if you've been feeling dizzy lately?""How did you know?" Mrs. Xenos was astonished."I could tell since I know a bit of medicine," Dustin explained. "I see …" Mrs. Xenos nodded. "You're r

"Mom!" Ruby was shocked when Mrs. Xenos suddenly fainted. She quickly helped her up and tried to wake her up while crying for help. However, her mother remained completely unresponsive. "Where's the doctor?" Ruby carried Mrs. Xenos on her back and ran back into the hospital. A bunch of doctors and nurses heard her pleas and quickly came over to perform first aid. An hour later, at the entrance of the emergency room. "Ruby!" A suited man ran over, accompanied by several bodyguards."Dad! You're finally here!" Ruby was so relieved to see him. "Mom suddenly fainted just now, and they're still trying to resuscitate her, but the doctor said that things weren't looking good and even asked me to sign a do-not-resuscitate order.""Why did she suddenly faint?" George Xenos frowned. "I don't know either. She was completely fine earlier." Ruby looked nervous as well. "Hurry! Go to Garrison Hospital and bring Dr. Alden immediately!" George ordered the bodyguard closest to him."Yes, Sir!" Hi

"Okay!" Without wasting any more time, Ruby took her phone out to give Dustin a call, and she briefly told him what had happened. "I'll be there right away." Dustin ended the call and rushed over to the hospital.By the time he reached, Ruby's mother had already been transferred to the VIP ward. Although she was no longer in critical danger, she remained unconscious. When Dustin entered the ward, he noticed that there was quite a small crowd gathered there. Most of them were doctors, and some were bodyguards."Dustin! You're here!" Ruby's face lit up with hope when she saw him."Is this the miracle doctor that you mentioned, Ruby?" As George looked Dustin up and down, he unconsciously frowned. This man was much younger than he'd thought. How medically skilled could a man in his twenties be?"Don't judge a book by its cover, Dad! Dustin might be young, but he's really good at what he does! It only took him a glance and he knew what was wrong with Mom." Ruby assured."Forgive me for bei

While Dustin was away, Natasha couldn't help but worry about him. She would always keep an eye out for any news about him. But no matter how much she missed him, she wouldn't call him. She didn't want to distract or cause him to lose focus on the important matters concerning the nation's affairs. Understanding how busy he was, she kept her feelings in check and buried herself in work to keep her mind occupied.But when Natasha finally saw Dustin again, all the emotions she had bottled up came rushing out. Months of longing turned into overwhelming affection, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.Her assistant, Tanya, watched in shock. She had no idea Natasha—typically the poised, decisive, and commanding chairwoman—was in a relationship. What surprised her even more was how different Natasha seemed around Dustin. The usually unshakable "queen" now appeared soft and tender in his presence.Tanya couldn't help but watch Dustin more closely. His looks and charisma were u

Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2435
After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2434
When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2433
Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2432
As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2431
After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

"How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap
