Chapter 2265

Author: Marina Vittori
"What's going on? Isn't that man supposed to be an ascetic priest? What is he doing at a Combat Tournament?"

"They say ascetic priests aren't interested in power or wealth. Yet, here he is, stepping into the battle ring. It's really strange."

"Wait! I know him. He's the renegade among the ascetic priests, Thaddeus Savier."

"What? Father Savier? Are you talking about the same guy who slaughtered an entire family in a fit of rage eight years ago?"

The mention of Thaddeus' name caused a stir in the crowd. There were only a few ascetic priests in the world, and he stood out distinctly among them.

No one knew what had happened. But rumors circulated that he had allegedly slain 17 members of the guildmaster's family from the Sable Order in one night eight years ago.

Since then, Thaddeus had forsaken his vows entirely. He indulged in all sorts of vices—drinking, women, and money.

His temper was notoriously explosive. Plus, he was quick to resort to violence at the slightest provocatio

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2733

    After buying clothes for Dustin, Natasha still wanted to shop more. She led him into the boutique next door to pick out a few handbags from the latest collection for herself.While she was browsing, a young man spotted her and his eyes lit up. He wore a flashy shirt and gold chains as he made his way over."Hey, pretty. You've got great taste. This bag just arrived. It's a limited edition and would suit you perfectly." Zayden Riche smiled as he spoke, his eyes roaming over Natasha while completely ignoring Dustin beside her.She didn't even look up and continued examining the bag in her hands.Zayden didn't give up, flashing what he thought was a charming smile. "How about we become friends? Pick whatever you like today. I'll pay for it."He shot Dustin a smug glance, as if showing off his wealth.Natasha frowned in annoyance. "Get lost."The smile froze on Zayden's face. He had status in this part of town, and no woman had ever dismissed him so bluntly. His face turned grim

    Outside Dash Corporation building, a luxury sedan sat parked at the curb.The driver saw Gilbert stumble out, clutching his broken wrist, his face pale with agony. He quickly got out of the vehicle. "Mr. Chandler, what happened to you?""Shut the hell up!" Gilbert shouted. "Don't ask stupid questions. Just get me to a hospital. It hurts like hell." He kicked the driver and climbed into the back seat.The driver didn't dare say another word. He started the engine and sped toward the nearest hospital.Gilbert winced and grimaced from the pain. He stared at his broken wrist while rage bubbled inside him. He pulled out his phone and fumbled with his working fingers to dial a number.The call was quickly answered, and a calm but slightly annoyed male voice came from the other end."Gil? What is it? I'm in a meeting.""Frederick, someone hit me. My… My wrist is broken," Gilbert cried, his voice cracked with pain and rage."What?" His elder brother, Frederick Chandler, raised his

    Dustin had declared himself Natasha's husband, and Gilbert noticed that she didn't contradict him. She gazed at Dustin with a softness he had never witnessed before. Rage surged through him, making his entire body tremble."You fucking want to die?" Gilbert roared and swung his fist, all pretense of civility abandoned."Don't you dare!" she snapped, her expression turning icy."Natasha, what's so great about this little boy toy? How am I any worse than him? I've been nothing but devoted to you," Gilbert said, his expression turning sour."Cut the crap and get out," she said impatiently."You…" Gilbert choked on his words, then redirected his fury toward Dustin. "You got the guts to fight me one-on-one? Or are you just going to hide behind a woman like a coward?""One-on-one?" Dustin's lips curved into a faint smile. He found this amusing."What's wrong? Scared?" Gilbert sneered. "If you don't have the balls to fight, then get on your knees and apologize. Admit you're a coward, a

    Natasha stood frozen, staring at Dustin with her lips slightly parted. She looked like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Tears blurred her vision almost instantly."Is it you, Dear?" she asked, her voice shaking with disbelief."I'm home, Natasha." He smiled and opened his arms. Before he could blink, she was already rushing toward him.Natasha threw herself into Dustin's embrace without hesitation. Her arms locked around his waist like she was trying to merge their bodies into one."You jerk! So you do remember the way home."Without his cultivation, the impact nearly knocked him off his feet. Fortunately, his footwork training allowed him to steady himself, though just barely. He couldn't help thinking about how weak he had become after becoming a mortal.He wrapped his arms tightly around her, feeling her tremble and sob in his embrace. Guilt and affection washed over him."I'm sorry for making you worry about me," he whispered.Natasha buried her face in his chest

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2729

    After leaving the West Lucozian castle, Dustin returned to Oakvale.The trip to Elysium Isle hadn't been for nothing. Cyran and Terraen had passed on their lifetime of cultivation, life essence, and their soul flames. Dustin had also inherited fragments of Cyran's memories. It turned out that beyond the martial arts, immortal cultivators also existed in this world. But people like them were so withdrawn from the mortal world that most people would never meet one in their lifetime.Malthor from Elysium Isle was an immortal cultivator. However, he had strayed onto the wrong path and was essentially called a demonic cultivator.When martial artists spoke of reaching the terrestrial immortal realm, immortal cultivators called it peak core formation.Dustin had already reached that level. He was just one step away from breaking through to form his nascent soul. The process wasn't exactly difficult, but it wasn't simple either.He could already sense that the threshold to nascent soul

    The meditation chamber at Echowave Hall was unlike the strict, oppressive atmosphere of the castle. It was usually quiet and serene. But now, the master bedroom reeked of medicinal herbs and a heavy, somber atmosphere.Rufus, who once commanded fear across the land, now lay frail and wasted on the bed. Gray strands of hair clung to his forehead. His face was a dull, sickly gray, and his eyes were sunken deep. Each shallow breath made it feel like the spark of his life could vanish at any moment.Eloise sat at the bedside, carefully wiping his withered hands with a warm towel. Her eyes were puffy and red, with streaks of tears still fresh on her cheeks.Several gray-haired royal physicians stood nearby, shaking their heads and sighing in helpless resignation. Rufus' condition had worsened beyond saving, and no medicine could pull him back from the brink."Father! Mother!" Austin barged into the room without bothering with the dust on his clothes or any formalities."Austin? What
