Chapter 481

Author: Marina Vittori
Dustin was in a dilemma. "Dahlia, you know I'm only average at martial arts. I've never been a Chief Security Officer before. Don't you think I'm not suited for that post?" He was good at fighting and treating illnesses, but he had no experience holding an executive position in a company. It just didn't feel right.

"You just need to be good at fighting." Dahlia smiled at him. "You don't need to do anything. You just need to oversee safety matters and, at the same time, protect me from harm."

"I …" Dustin didn't know what to say.

"Hmph! If you don't want to do it, fine." She pulled a long face. "I'll just die a quick death if someone wants to harm me. It's no big deal."

"Come on, it's not that serious." His eyes twitched.

Dahlia responded, "You're right, it's not that serious. Nicholson Corp. has tens of billions in assets. Of course, I don't need any protection as the newly appointed chairman. It's not like anyone is after their shares. Please just remember to collect my body wh

Please die a quick death already. You and your crappy family have exploited Dustin's broad mind enough. Please die already ... I'm begging

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2604

    The rage in Matthias's chest finally began to ease after he executed the corrupt officials.Given the current situation, Thornwick was doomed. It was only a matter of time before the scarlet mist consumed the entire city. Nothing he did would matter with his current abilities, so he figured he might as well execute a few corrupt officials to vent his frustration.Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky. It sounded like a massive thunderclap, and the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly."What the hell was that?" Matthias frowned."Your Highness, something is happening outside," Neville reported as he rushed into the hall."Let's go take a look," Matthias said.Without wasting a second, he strode out the door.Looking up at the distant sky, he saw a massive energy vortex that had appeared out of nowhere. It spanned over 300 feet across and resembled a black hole, sending chills down his spine.Below the energy vortex, a lone figure hovered in midair. Matthias wa

    "Milton, who was that person just now? How could anyone possess supreme divine power?" Tristan asked.The initial shock barely lasted a second before a wave of excitement surged through him.He saw the figure wave its hand and trigger a phenomenon that defied nature itself, clearing away the scarlet mist that had blanketed miles of land. This was beyond human capability, so he thought that person should be a terrestrial immortal."It's too far away, and I can't get a clear look, Your Highness," Milton replied, his eyes still widened with barely contained shock.That figure's strength was beyond anything he'd ever imagined. It was so overwhelming that he felt as though he was witnessing something otherworldly.He never would've thought someone that powerful could be hiding in a place like Ashen Coast. Such abilities could potentially equal those of Sacred Wrym Summit's master. He believed that figure could reverse catastrophe through sheer force of will alone."Find out who it was

    In the central district of Harbortown, thick clouds of deadly scarlet mist had erupted from the hospital and were now spreading in all directions.Within just an hour, the mist had stretched five miles beyond its starting point. It advanced more rapidly and aggressively than a wildfire.Wherever the crimson mist swept through, it left nothing but ruin. Anyone who came into contact with it died almost instantly and dissolved into a pool of blood within two minutes.Even inanimate objects couldn't escape—the red mist corroded them until they were riddled with holes. At this rate, the deadly mist would devour the entire city within a single day and turn it into a death zone.High up on a rooftop not far from the governor's mansion, Tristan and Milton stood on the building's edge. They watched the distant scarlet mist continue its inexorable spread. Their expressions showed nothing but helplessness.They had tried everything—deployed manpower, diverted resources, attempted every metho

    "Your Highness, what should we do now?" Milton asked anxiously."How should I know? I'm just as lost as you are." Tristan's face was full of despair. He continued, "Dr. Strum and Dr. Carmel are dead. The outbreak is already out of control, and now there's some kind of poisonous mist that destroys everything it touches. How am I supposed to deal with this? My head feels like it's about to explode.""Perhaps we should retreat while we still can," Milton urged. "If that poisonous mist continues its advance, this city is doomed. Staying here would only put your life in danger.""Retreat? Where should I go? Once Harbortown is gone, so is my future." Tristan looked utterly defeated.Everyone knew containing the outbreak was a test from Valon. If Tristan succeeded, he'd secure the right to inherit the throne, but failure would end his chances for good. He'd fought too hard and come too far to let the crown slip away now."As long as you're alive, Your Highness, there's still a chance t

    Lauren's death came without warning. It was so sudden that Dustin barely had time to process what happened. Staring at her shattered skull and her body sprawled in blood, his smile faded as he frowned.No one had attacked her, and it wasn't suicide either. Her head exploded because someone had planted a cursed insect in her brain.This insect lay dormant inside her head. It caused no harm to its host under normal circumstances. However, when the host planned to betray the Skull Covenant, the insect would immediately awaken and self-destruct. The explosion occurred from within and was impossible to prevent.If Dustin had examined Lauren thoroughly, he would've spotted it. With his current skills, eliminating such an insect would have been easy.Even Lauren herself hadn't known that she had been implanted with the cursed insect. If she had known, she wouldn't have endured such prolonged torture. Otherwise, she would have chosen to trigger the explosion earlier.Grace approached

    "You… What did you do to me?" Lauren demanded.She struggled frantically but found her entire body locked in place, and she couldn't move a muscle. For someone who was halfway to becoming a grandmaster, this kind of helplessness was foreign to her. It felt like being pinned beneath something enormous and unmovable."Relax. I'm not going to kill you," Dustin said with a faint smile.He moved closer until he stood directly in front of her. "I'm going to ask you two questions. Answer honestly, and I'll let you go. Lie to me, and you'll regret everything you did today.""Hmph! Kill me if you want. You think I'm scared of some nobody like you?" Lauren tried to sound fearless, as though she was eager to die.In her eyes, death wasn't an end but a liberation and a chance to return to Skull Lord's side."Like I said, I won't kill you. But I will give you a taste of suffering," Dustin said. With a flick of his finger, he sent a silver needle into her body.The instant it pierced her skin
