All Chapters of An Understated Dominance: Chapter 1951 - Chapter 1960

Dustin was awakened by footsteps outside the tent at the break of dawn. He quickly turned around to get up and was watchful.Soon, he heard Osley speaking. "Ms. Linsor, something bad happened!" Instead of barging into the tent, Osley stood outside to report the incident to Grace."W-What?" Grace slowly opened her eyes when she heard the commotion. She slipped out of the sleeping bag and slipped into her jacket. She then asked, "What happened, Mr. Will?""When I was doing my routine check, I saw a lot of desert rats around our camp. I followed their trail and realized that the rats had destroyed our supplies!" Osley replied anxiously."What?" Grace's expression instantly became serious when she heard that. She quickly walked out of her tent and questioned in a serious tone, "Didn't I arrange for someone to stand guard through the night? How did the desert rats get to our supplies?""I have no idea as well. It was already too late when I discovered the problem." Osley appeared d

"Ms. Linsor, this is what we found around the camp. It has a strange smell, and it must have attracted the desert rats." Osley held a pile of black stuff in his hands and walked over to Grace and others. The pile of black stuff was the size of green peas. It appeared to be some sort of bait and had an awful stench."What's this?" Grace was a little curious. She moved forward and gave the foul-smelling substance a sniff."It looks like a mixture of food and chemical substances. I experimented with it just now. The stench of this mixture can quickly attract desert rats," Osley explained."Hence, the desert rat invasion of our food supplies wasn't an accident. Is someone plotting against us?" Grace's suspicions were quickly confirmed. It was obvious that this bait for the desert rats was not produced naturally."That's very possible." Osley nodded and replied, "This black substance was sprinkled around the camp of our food supplies. It was an obvious attempt to lure the desert rat

Upon entering the lush oasis, it felt like stepping into paradise, eliciting smiles on nearly everyone's faces as they ventured further. Grace led the way, with Dustin closely following, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.Despite the seemingly serene environment, hidden dangers lurked beneath the surface and within the trees, taking the form of poisonous creatures. Though currently unseen in the daylight, as night fell, it would be their opportune moment to emerge and hunt."Hey, look over there! What's that?"The excitement in the voice of a Black Scorpion Squad member rang out, drawing everyone's attention as he pointed ahead. As they turned to look, they discovered three fruit trees nestled amidst dense vegetation. The tree branches were laden with vibrant red fruits that glistened like rubies in the sunlight."Are these revitalberries?" someone asked."Revitalberries? The ones that boost cultivation and extend life?""Wow! Look at all these revitalberries! We

After tending to the wounds of the injured members of the Black Scorpion Squad, their combat abilities and mobility were severely impacted due to the loss of their arm. Even simple self-defense became a challenge.Grace surveyed the wounded squad members before turning her gaze to Garrett. "Captain Wilder, should I arrange the return of our injured team members?"Since they had just entered the oasis, she could still assist the wounded in returning. Yet, if they opted to press forward, there would be no turning back."Captain, we're fine! Just lost an arm, no big deal!""Yeah, we've faced worse. This injury means nothing to us.""Captain, trust us. We can pull off the mission without a hitch!"Facing the prospect of returning, the injured members of the Black Scorpion Squad reassured Garrett promptly. They understood that going back meant giving up the treasures the others would obtain in the oasis.Although the mission promised a good reward, dividing it among the team didn

"Mr. Ridge, since you're determined, I won't insist further," Jackson conceded as his advice went ignored.He knew that revealing these unknown creatures would create chaos once they were taken outside the oasis. However, the outcome remained uncertain.Suddenly, Aidan turned to Grace. "Little Miss, I've got a plan to catch this critter alive. Can I borrow your Dragon Rope?"Despite having enough skills to handle the creature, the real challenge was capturing and taming it. Understanding that regular ropes wouldn't work against such a strong beast, Aidan realized that only the Dragon Rope could do the job."Since you've asked, I won't say no," Grace said. She signaled to the captain of the royal guard to get the Dragon Rope. Once he returned, she handed it to Aidan.Aidan's mood improved as he took the Dragon Rope. "Thank you, I really appreciate it. Remember, if you ever run into any trouble, don't hesitate to reach out to me!" Just as he was about to approach the creature, a
