An Understated Dominance Chapter 900
Dustin stared at Nikki in disbelief from across the table. He couldn't believe that she had been the person who drugged them. "Why is it you?" Cornelius' widened eyes were full of dismay, confusion, and anger. He never imagined that the traitor would be Nikki, whom Dustin had treated so well. "I'm sorry … I'm sorry." Nikki looked away guiltily and kept her head down. "Why?" Dustin could only ask.Because of Nelson, Dustin treated Nikki like his sister and tried to do everything in her best interest. He even reigned in his temper in front of Jade Maiden Sisterhood just to free her, so he never imagined that she would betray him in return. "Jade Maiden Sisterhood is my home, and they are my family. I—I didn't have a choice. I'm sorry …" Nikki apologized as she repeatedly shook her head. She felt guilty toward Dustin but couldn't go against Edith and the Jade Maiden Sisterhood's wishes."I just don't get it. Why are you still so determined to stay when they mistreated you? J

Nikki couldn't bear to see anger in Dustin and the others' eyes and wanted to leave. "There's no rush. The show's just begun," Edith sniggered. "This bastard insulted us and hurt Brittany. There's no way I will let him off so easily."Dustin knew too many secrets, including the Jade Maiden Scripture. Edith was determined to keep the information inside the scripture to herself. No one else could have it. So, she must kill Dustin. "Madam Edith, you promised me you wouldn't hurt him." Nikki suddenly felt uneasy. Although she had betrayed Dustin, she didn't want to see him hurt either. "Really? I don't remember promising that, though." Edith feigned ignorance. "Nikki, if blood makes you queasy, you can leave first. I won't blame you for that.""Madam Edith, you wanted the scripture and have it now. Please let him go!" Nikki begged, aware that Edith intended to kill Dustin. "Nikki, you should know that you're a Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciple, so you should only be thinkin

Nikki staggered toward Dustin with her sword, feeling torn. However, her sword fell to the ground with a clang before she could reach him. "I—I can't do it! I just can't do it!" Nikki turned around and sobbed, guilt written all over her face. "You piece of shit!" Pissed, Edith slapped Nikki across the cheek, causing her to fall. "What use do I have of you when you can't even kill a man?""Madam Edith, she may be unable to do it, but I can!" Just then, Brittany emerged from the crowd, limping to the front. She shot Dustin a glare. It was bad enough that he hit her, but she couldn't stand him being unfazed by her beauty. "Good. This man is yours to kill." Edith nodded, pleased. As expected, no one made her as happy as Britanny. "I bet you never thought you'd end up like this, did you, Dustin?" Brittany sniggered. She drew her sword and limped toward him. "How dare a shitty, measly man like you defy me! I'll make sure to castrate you in front of everyone tonight!"If s

"You fucking asshole! How dare you hurt me! "You better fucking die! Madam Edith, kill him for me!" Brittany screeched."What? Didn't you drug him, Nikki?" Edith narrowed her eyes, displeased. Only someone stronger than a grandmaster could be unaffected by the drug she made. "I did. I put the drug in his wine," Nikki replied. She was confused as well. She watched Dustin drink the wine earlier, so why was he completely unaffected?"I was careless." Edith nodded and drew her sword. "You must be a genius if you've already achieved divinity. However, I love killing geniuses. You'll have the honor of being killed by me tonight.""I might not be the one who dies," Dustin responded calmly. "I shall give you a chance now. You can grovel for forgiveness, and I'll spare you life."The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples were surprised and burst out laughing. "Hey, are you crazy? Who the hell do you think you are? How could you say something so foolish?""Stupid man! Madam Edith i

"Um …" Those from Jade Maiden Sisterhood were astonished as they stared at Edith. They couldn't believe that Edith, who was the head of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood, a semi-grandmaster, and one of the best sword arts martial artists, had been defeated by Dustin with a single move. There was no way this was real. "Madam Edith lost? H—how is that possible?""M—my eyes must be playing tricks on me. There's no way she would lose!""Why? How did things turn out this way?"There was an uproar as the disciples struggled to accept that their invincible leader had lost."Who … who are you?" Letitia was aghast.Although Edith had been injured, she was still much stronger than most. "You caused a ruckus in my territory, yet you ask who I am?" Dustin's expression was murderous. "That's impossible! You're no match for Madam Edith! You must have used one of your tricks!""How dare that shameless bastard use tricks on Madam Edith! He's disgusting!"Edith's disciples began yelling.

"This is for looking down on others."This is for breaking your promise."This is for being a shitty mentor."This is for being an ungrateful wench."A crisp slap accompanied each of Dustin's remarks.Edith's face was swollen beyond recognition when he was done. "Um …" The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples had been rendered silent. Fear was written all over their faces.They initially assumed Dustin must have used a dirty trick to defeat Edith. However, the sight before them made them realize how wrong they'd been. Although Dustin continued smacking Edith, none of her disciples tried to stop him since they knew they were no match for him. "Stop!"Edith was on the brink of death when Nikki ran forward and threw herself over Edith.With a determined look, she said, "You can hit me, but not Madam Edith!""What?" Dustin frowned and raised his hand. Suddenly, Nelson's face appeared in his mind. Dustin could only lower his hand. "I know I betrayed you, Dustin. But she's m

"Unreasonable? Oh, Nikki. You're more biased than I expected!" Dustin laughed out loud. "Why didn't you try to reason with Edith when she broke her word? Or when she stabbed me in the back or ordered you to drug us? "And why didn't you tell her to be reasonable when she tried to kill me earlier?"Dustin sneered, "You're only telling me to be reasonable because you're going to lose. Don't you think the way you're acting is repulsive?"Nikki kept quiet when he was in danger. However, now that Edith was in trouble, Nikki jumped out and tried to guilt him into letting Edith go. How disgusting."I …" Dustin's rapid-fire questioning rendered Nikki speechless. She ran out of excuses and could only put on a tough front. "I'm doing this for you, Dustin! Madam Edith is well-known in the martial world. Being on her bad side would mean that you have more enemies. "That'll just be dangerous for you.""I've already become enemies with most of them anyway. What's one more?" Dustin sho

Ever since Dustin defeated him, Terry had been steadily recovering, biding his time. And now, it was finally time for revenge."You're weaker than you were last time. How are you going to fight me?" Dustin sized up Terry. Although Terry's core had been restored, his cultivation was nowhere near what it was before. Now, he was merely a low-level martial artist."I never said I would fight you. The one who's going to fight you is my mentor!" Terry humphed. "And who's that?" Dustin asked. "Listen well. My mentor is the famous Augustus Kline!" Terry declared proudly.Everyone was shocked. "What? Augustus Kline? Isn't he a grandmaster?""That's right! Augustus Kline is well-known in the martial world. He's one of the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno!""Holy shit! Who the hell is this guy? How did he become Augustus Kline's disciple?"The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples were shocked. They saw grandmasters as beings that resembled God. The martial world also believed tha

"In response to Your Lordship's question, this marriage alliance between our two families isn't my decision alone—it's also my godfather's and the entire Mosey family's," Anders said with a smile."According to the established rules, marriages between royal bloodlines are forbidden. Have you forgotten?" Simon replied coolly. "Sticking to outdated rules only holds us back," Anders said, shaking his head with a smile.He continued, "Right now, Dragonmarsh is going through a turbulent time—internally and externally. I've also heard the king's health is deteriorating. There are rumors he plans to name a successor and step down soon."With that, Oakvale will likely be in turmoil. When that happens, all the powerful families—the four ancient houses, the eight great families, and other factions—will be dragged into the chaos."That's why I'm hoping our families can form a marriage alliance to navigate the coming crisis together."Simon remained calm and said, "It's natural for the king

"Dad, what do you think?" Jonathan asked, turning to Simon."A guest has arrived, so we can't be rude. Invite them to the living room so we can discuss things properly," Simon replied calmly.Anders represented the Mosey family, and regardless of his intentions, Simon couldn't simply turn him away. As for the proposed marriage alliance, it was a matter that required thorough consideration."Understood," the butler replied promptly before leaving."Go on with your meal. I'm going to meet with Anders," Simon said, excusing himself from the table.Jonathan, Jensen, and Jovian exchanged glances and, without hesitation, followed their father. They were curious to see what the Mosey family had in mind."Alright, let them handle it. Let's focus on our meal," Gemma Letcher, Natasha's grandmother, said with a smile and signaled everyone to continue eating.…Three minutes later, in the Ballard family's living room, Simon sat at the head of the table near the entrance.

After leaving Dash Corporation, Dustin and Natasha headed to the mall, where they picked out gifts for every member of the Ballard family. From the eldest to the youngest toddlers, no one was left out. Later, they stopped by an antique shop and chose a beautiful calligraphy painting as a special gift for Simon.By evening, Dustin had everything ready for his first visit to the Ballard estate, located in the heart of Oakvale's city center. The estate was a sprawling courtyard mansion built on a large plot of land.Simon, the Duke of Lachshire, had three sons and a daughter. His eldest son, Jonathan Ballard, was a third-ranked official in the government. The second son, Jensen Ballard, was a successful entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical industry in Oakvale, with billions in assets. Meanwhile, the youngest son, Jovian Ballard, had made a name for himself in the military and was now a third-ranked general.Simon's youngest daughter, Jessica—Natasha's mother—was highly favored with

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

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

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
