Chapter 181

Author: Marina Vittori
"S—so that was a charm after all?"

Everyone at the scene was frozen in place as they stared at the red snake that Xavier vomited.

One by one, their faces showed looks of disbelief. No one could’ve ever imagined that the esteemed heir of the Horst family, who had a bright and promising future ahead of him, had stooped this low just to court someone.

"Xavier, I never thought you’d be like this!" Claudia yelled angrily in shock.

Who knew that she’d be the one who would be deceived by trusting him too much in the end? She almost became an accomplice in his schemes too!

"I—" Xavier was at a loss for words as his face turned pale.

The truth was already laid bare for all to see, so even if he still insisted on denying it, his attempts would be absolutely futile.

"Hmph, It’s a good thing Dustin has a good eye to see through your evil schemes. Otherwise, Sheila would’ve fallen right into your trap!" Ruth spat, her expression full of contempt.

She hated despicable and shameless men li

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2619

    The earth shook as the white figure slammed into the ground with a thunderous crash. Golden winds whirled around him like a protective shield. The zombies charging forward slammed into an invisible wall, and their gray-green bodies exploded into chunks. Dark brown fluid mixed with bone fragments splattered across the city wall, filling the air with acrid, white smoke."It's the powerhouse!" someone shouted from inside the courtyard.The terrified civilians who had been cowering moments before suddenly burst into wild cheers. They all remembered what had happened during Thornwick's scarlet mist crisis. A mysterious white figure had appeared like something out of legend, clearing all the deadly mist and saving their city from certain doom. With the zombies closing in on the walls, the sight of that familiar white figure felt like seeing a savior."He's here at last," Matthias muttered.He tightened his grip on his blood-slicked saber and watched the white figure cut through the z

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2618

    The old city walls in Thornwick glistened with a cold, bluish-black sheen in the dusk. In the gaps between the bricks, traces of rusted arrowheads from a century ago still remained.As Matthias stepped onto the battlements, the soles of his boots crunched over the frozen blood crust. Fresh blood dripped from the saber on his waist, and each drop froze the instant it touched the ground."Get those oil barrels up here now!" he bellowed. His face was hardened with fury as he commanded, "Gunners, hold your fire until those beasts are within a hundred yards."Below the city walls, the zombie horde surged like a rising black tide. In the dim twilight, pale gray arms flailed and clawed at the stone.The front ranks clawed at the walls with bare, worn-down nails. Bits of stone and mortar flaked away and scattered across the ground.A few of the larger ones were climbing over the bodies piled beneath them. Their rotting feet slipped on the ice, scraping against the stone with a sickening

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2617

    The golden light at Dustin's fingertips flickered out just as the last zombie at the warehouse entrance crumbled to dust. Dark brown fluid splattered across the weathered cobblestones, releasing a nauseating stench.Nathaniel leaned on his broken spear, his chest heaving with each breath. Zombie bone fragments were still embedded in the dented plates of his armor.He looked at the bodies scattered across the ground, then at the white figure ahead. His eyes reflected the gratitude of someone who had escaped death."Thank you for saving us, sir. Your kindness will never be forgotten," Nathaniel said with a respectful nod.Not a single stain marked Dustin's pristine white robes. His eyes swept over the scattered zombie remains below with a sharp, eagle-like gaze, and he frowned slightly."These were just scouts. Where is the actual zombie army?" he asked.Nathaniel's expression immediately turned grim. He turned toward the southern part of the city, where thick gray fog shrouded the

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2616

    Inside the helicopter, Tristan and Milton sat in stunned silence. Neither of them could find the words to describe what they had just witnessed.From the moment the tsunami was summoned, to the ocean freezing in an instant, and finally the entire ice sheet being obliterated by a single palm strike—the entire sequence was beyond anything they could have imagined.If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, they never would've believed a human being was capable of such a feat."A few zombies have escaped toward the northwest. Take your men and deal with them quickly. Time is running out, and I still have to rush to the other two cities." Dustin's voice carried down from above.After crushing tens of thousands of zombies with a single blow, he didn't even pause. He shot across the sky like a meteor and vanished into the distance.With Harbortown's horde wiped out, the few who slipped through shouldn't have posed a challenge to Tristan. If he couldn't even handle that, then he didn't dese

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2615

    When the massive tsunami crashed down, it plunged the entire world into darkness. The sheer force compressed the air into a devastating hurricane that swept outward in every direction. Sand and debris exploded through the harbor as thick clouds of dust billowed everywhere.The 3,000-foot wall of water slammed into the harbor with crushing force. Docked ships were instantly torn apart and vanished beneath the churning waves. Buildings, houses, and port facilities near the waterfront collapsed like cardboard the moment the tsunami hit.The impact and destructive force were unlike anything Tristan had ever imagined. Even from a safe distance, the sight made his skin crawl and filled him with dread.Within seconds, the entire harbor disappeared under the surging water. The zombie army that had been advancing nearby was caught in the devastation and swallowed whole.The tsunami didn't stop there. It kept pushing inland with unstoppable momentum. Everything in its path faced total annihi

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2614

    Tristan followed Milton's gaze into the distance, where a brilliant white light was streaking toward them at breakneck speed. It carved a glowing trail across the sky, splitting massive clouds as it tore through them. In seconds, the light reached the airspace directly above the harbor. The force of its arrival stirred up hurricane-level winds that violently rocked their helicopter.When the turbulence finally eased, Tristan looked up and saw a figure in white hovering in the air, no more than 600 feet away. With his sharp eyesight, he should've been able to see the figure's face clearly. But no matter how hard he stared, everything remained blurry, as if some invisible force was deliberately obscuring the figure."Milton, can you see what this powerhouse looks like?" he asked.Milton shook his head. "No. I can't make out their face, either. They're clearly hiding their appearance on purpose.""So the powerhouse is deliberately masking their identity," Tristan said, disappointe
