All Chapters of An Understated Dominance: Chapter 1731 - Chapter 1740

After a hearty meal, Dustin took his leave. There was a pile of things he had to attend to after sleeping for two days and one night. Thus, he had to head back quickly to make arrangements. Before he got into the car, Grace suddenly called out to him. She warned, "Logan, the cards told me last night that you're not entirely out of danger now. You have to be careful.""Rest assured, I know what I'm doing. I'll get going now," Dustin replied as he nodded. His car took off in a haste. In the car, he called Natasha to assure her of his safety. Then, he proceeded to brief Adam and Scarlet about what had happened.He told them to prepare the Spanner family for the fight over the throne. Once the fight began, the entire government would be involved. As one of the ancient houses, it was simply impossible for the Spanner family to stay out of this. After an hour, Dustin was back at the mansion. Caitlyn was cooking while Cinna and Brooke were doing ink painting. With his eyes close

"Two weeks at least? The longest being one year? What happened?"Dustin was so stunned that he could barely react. There was a horrified look in his eyes. Although he resented Rufus, he was still his father. When he heard that he didn't have much time left, a wave of panic suddenly washed through him. With only a few family members left, he couldn't imagine how he was supposed to face Rufus' death if he was gone. "Is this news reliable?" Dustin asked in a hushed tone. He tried to keep his composure, yet his fists were clenched tight under the table. "Your Highness, not a lot of people are aware of it now, but it's definitely true. Even if the prince doesn't want me to tell you, I thought you should have the right to know," Rodrigo replied with his head hung low."The prince has always been healthy. Why did things suddenly turn out this way?""Throughout the past decade, the prince has been working too hard! Not only does he have to watch over West Lucozia to prevent the sa

Rodrigo was incredibly fast with his sword. It moved so quickly that it was almost impossible to see clearly.His technique was fierce and forceful, like a tough military approach, without any fancy moves.Each move of his seemed crafted with lethal intent. It was simple, effective, and brutally violent.Despite the mysterious spells of the four guardians, Rodrigo's fast sword made them useless.Whenever they attempted to change formation, Rodrigo quickly saw the weakness and broke through with his quick strikes.After a series of clashes, he beat the four guardians."I didn't expect General Rodrigo to be such a powerful grandmaster martial artist," Cinna exclaimed in surprise."He is Rufus's personal guard and leads a team of spies," Dustin said calmly. "It shows how skilled he is." From their first meeting with Rodrigo, Dustin sensed his impressive abilities.Given that Rufus entrusted Rodrigo to travel to Oakvale, it was evident that he possessed significant skills and abi

The Red Cloaked Assassin attacked fast and hard, catching Dustin by surprise from behind.Dustin was still busy helping Cinna and couldn't defend himself.When the assassin's blade came, Dustin quickly activated his energy armor, creating a protective shield."Clang!" The Red Cloaked Assassin's blade hit Dustin's energy armor, creating a faint ripple.The immense recoil sent the assassin's weapon flying, making him stagger backward."How is this possible?"The Red Cloaked Assassin's eyes widened in shock.His full-force surprise attack should have at least gravely wounded Dustin.Yet, Dustin sat unscathed, while the assassin was pushed back.He was surprised that Dustin's strength might be even greater than his."Pfft!" Suddenly, as Dustin was still healing, he spat out black blood. His face turned ashen.The poison from earlier was potent. Even with his robust body, Dustin couldn't resist it. The primary reason was the extensive energy consumption in treating Cinna.

Dustin was baffled. He stared at Cinna after the sudden attack.He had suspicions about many people, such as Maximus and Brooke, but never about Cinna.Cinna had risked his life for Dustin beforeand had sacrificed so much for the West Lucozian monarchy. Even at the risk of his own poisoning and injury, Dustin felt indebted and went all out to save him.Cinna was like family to him. As a death warrior for the monarchy, it was unbelievable that he would betray him."Mr. Shaffer? What—what are you doing?" Dustin asked with a trembling voice. Even now, he could hardly believe what was happening."Dustin, I'm sorry, but I had no choice," Cinna said with a complex expression and a hint of guilt. "I told you not to dig into the past. It would bring deadly consequences. Why didn't you listen? You could have lived a peaceful life. Why did you choose this path?""You ... Who are you, really?" Dustin frowned deeply."I am Cinna, the Vice Commander of the Central Cavalry in West Luc
