Chapter 1372

Author: Marina Vittori
Ezra's brows furrowed as he looked at Dustin bitterly.

"Ah, so you're Dustin," Alistair said, recognizing Dustin. After all, the recent family event, especially the Dew Balm formula debacle, was still fresh in his mind.

"Mr. Welch, I heard that your father is suffering from hysteria. Would you mind if I take a look?" Dustin offered with genuine concern.

Alistair eyed the young Dustin skeptically. "You?"

He thought, "Dr. Busch may have recommended you, but you don't exactly strike me as an expert."

"Dustin, that's kind of you, but we already have Sir Crane helping us. No need for you to trouble yourself," Joanne interjected.

"Did you hear that? With Sir Crane here, we don't need you," Ezra added with a sneer.

"Young man, don't play around when a person's life is at stake. It's no time for you to fool around," Theodore warned sternly.

"Dustin, let it be." Brooke shook his head. He knew that saying anything now wasn't wise.

"Very well. Since Sir Crane is so confident, I won't i

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2652

    Paying no heed to the Shardturtle, the spiritual stag paced toward Matthias until it stood before him. It then turned, regarded him with eyes of pale blue, and shook its head as if beckoning him to follow.Astonishment and suspicion flashed through his eyes as he murmured, "Is this spiritual stag… actually trying to save me?" The thought seemed absurd, but with the Shardturtle eyeing them like a predator, Matthias had no choice. He could only lead the group toward the stag's direction.The Shardturtle watched their retreating figures. After a brief hesitation, it finally turned and sank into the murky water, disappearing from sight.The spiritual stag led Matthias, Neville, and the others on a halting trek across the vast snowy plain until they finally arrived at the entrance of a hidden cave. The opening was sealed by a thick layer of ice. The stag exhaled a breath of white mist onto the ice, which instantly melted away, revealing the cave's mouth.Inside, the air was warm lik

    When the Shardturtle's massive body surfaced, the sound of cracking ice exploded across the snowy plain like thunder. Murky lake water mixed with ice chunks erupted from below and froze into a steep ice slope along the shore. The ice covering its shell gave off a cold, blue-gray glow, with each raised plate looking like carefully carved ice rock. Its edges were sharp enough to slice through the air.Two crimson eyes swiveled around, scanning the panicked crowd on shore. When that gaze settled on Matthias, it held an almost human intelligence as it studied him with cold scrutiny."Fall back!" Neville roared, grabbing Matthias with his lone arm and dragging him backward.Having just survived the fight with the Brineclaw, Neville knew exactly how terrifying these deep-sea creatures could be. The Shardturtle before him was wider than the Surgebreaker's deck, with ice spikes hanging from its shell edges that were over ten feet long. It was clearly no ordinary beast.The soldiers pan

    A massive shard of ice slammed down beside the camp, shattering on impact. Flying splinters shot out like thrown daggers, cutting several soldiers and staining the snow crimson.Startled by the sudden chaos, the snow foxes retreated and disappeared into the depths of the snowy plain, and disappeared into the night.Rising to his feet, Matthias surveyed the wreckage around him with a heavy sense of dread pressing down on him.They had not only lost many soldiers that night, but the camp was also severely damaged. Their already scarce supplies were now in an even more desperate state.The next morning, the sky remained overcast, and the wind howled bitterly.The soldiers began clearing the camp, repairing tents, and treating their wounded comrades.Matthias led several elite soldiers to climb a nearby hill to get a better look at the island. Standing on the hilltop, he could see that the entire place was blanketed in thick ice and snow. Mountains in the distance were shrouded in mi

    The ice sculptures gleamed in the biting wind. The soldiers frozen inside had twisted, agonized faces, as if still telling the story of their pain before being trapped in ice.Matthias stared at them, and his Adam's apple bobbed as he suppressed the tremor in his chest. He rubbed his arm, which was still stiff where the white mist had touched him. The skin there showed a faint purple discoloration, and the cold seemed to have seeped deep into his bones."Your Highness, the freezing breath from that spiritual stag is incredibly lethal," Neville said, leaning on his sword. The wound on his lone arm split open again due to the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages and left bright red spots on the snow. He looked in the direction where the spiritual stag had disappeared, and his eyes were filled with apprehension. "We should focus on defending our camp and stop provoking the creatures on this island," he said.Matthias nodded in silence. The loss of several of his elite soldiers f

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2648

    Storm clouds still hung heavy over the Surgebreaker's sails when shards of ice rode the waves and struck the hull with a sharp crunch.Matthias held onto the rail, chilled by the sea wind, and stared ahead. The outline of an island had suddenly appeared on the horizon, and joy flickered in his eyes.After they had survived the Brineclaw's attack and struggled through the mist-shrouded depths, they had finally found Elysium Isle. But as their ship drew closer to shore, everyone was shocked.The island before them was nothing like the ancient manuscripts had described, with their promises of endless spring and white blossoms that never withered. Instead, it lay buried beneath a heavy sheet of ice. The land and sky blurred together in a single field of white. Even the wind carried a biting chill that stung like blades against the skin.Jagged rocks along the shore had turned into dark, bluish-black ice spires. Each wave that crashed against them froze solid on impact, leaving behind

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2647

    Nathaniel and his men waited for three days and three nights. The days and nights on Elysium Isle shifted at an unsettling speed. Blazing summer heat scorched them during the day, while snow fell from the sky at midnight.The soldiers took turns keeping watch outside the yard. They watched the morning glories on the fence bloom and wither repeatedly. The baskets of wild fruit inside the yard emptied and filled again. However, they never saw the child again, nor did they find any sign of the immortals.Some began whispering among themselves, claiming this was nothing but an empty island where the child was merely a spirit guardian. Others secretly threw stones into the grove, only to have them rebound off an invisible barrier, hitting their own heads and leaving bloody welts.Nathaniel hadn't spoken a word at all. Every morning, he would straighten his battle robes and stand respectfully before the closed gate. Then, he would sit on a stone with his eyes closed, as if certain someo
