An Understated Dominance Chapter 521
"What did you say?" Natasha knitted her brows. "Didn't you hear me? I said, take off your clothes!" Jayla repeated with her voice raised."Don't you go overboard!" Natasha's expression was cold. How could she possibly remove her clothes in public? That was extremely humiliating for her! "So what if I do?" Jayla sneered. "I hold something over you right now, and you got no choice but to listen to me!"This was the reason she sent Hector to jail—demeaning Natasha. Jayla muttered inwardly, "This is the price to pay for refusing to get married into the Grant family!"She needed to make Natasha suffer in order to vent her anger. "Jayla, you'd better not overstep the line," Natasha said in a deep voice."Natasha, haven't you figured out what the current situation is?" Jayla laughed wildly. "You're in my territory. Whatever happens to you depends on me. Hurry up and take off your clothes!""Take off!" "Take off!"The masked guests began to shout in excitement, and most of them

Clenching her teeth, Jayla chewed Natasha up while scratching the latter's face mercilessly."Ahh!" With an ear-piercing wail, Natasha finally passed out due to extreme pain. Her beautiful face was now covered in fresh blood. It was a ghastly sight. "That was fast, but I haven't had enough fun yet." Jayla smiled evilly. "Strip off her clothes and hang her up!" "Yes!"The two female bodyguards obeyed and immediately removed Natasha's clothes until she was only left with her underwear. Then, they hung her in the middle of the dance floor and poured a bucket of icy water down her head.Natasha shuddered, gradually regaining consciousness. "Natasha, haven't you been acting noble and virtuous all the while? Today I'm going to show you what it feels like to be humiliated!" Jayla continued, "See these people around? They'll be accompanying you tonight. I'm going to take a video of the whole process and send it to your boyfriend for him to enjoy.""Y—you monster!" Natasha gritted her

"Stop!" A thunderous voice rang out, causing the crowd to fall into silence in an instant. Startled, everyone looked over at once and saw a tall figure walking in, exuding an overwhelming wave of murderous intent. Tension immediately ensued in the atmosphere, which was on fire just a moment ago. Those who were in revealing clothes couldn't help but shudder. "Dustin?" When Natasha saw who it was, a wave of joy flooded her, as if she had found a life savior. "So it's you!" Jayla snorted upon taking a closer look at him. "Why do you have to bring trouble on yourself when you can easily avoid it? Today I'm going to let you watch your woman being humiliated!" "All of you deserve death!" Seeing Natasha being hung up and covered in bloody scratches and wounds, Dustin clenched his fists hard, his expression darkening. A great sense of wrath flooded his soul so intensely that he almost lost his mind."Rhys, are you furious? But so what? Your woman is in my hands right now. I can do wha

"He should feel honored for being able to die at the hands of the lupine guards!" When the Grants' highly skilled guards appeared, the rest of the guests became excited, as if they were watching a show."This is bad!" Natasha's expression changed. "Dustin, you don't have to care about me. Hurry up and leave! Get help from the Harmon family!"She knew Dustin was strong, but lupine guards were experts when it came to fighting. She would just weigh Dustin down if they tried to escape together."What are you talking about? How can I possibly leave you alone here?" Dustin reached out and grabbed her hand. "But it's going to be difficult to escape if you bring me along." Natasha frowned. She didn't want Dustin to risk his life because of her."Who said that I was going to escape?" Dustin looked around with a piercing gaze. "I'm going to kill all of them tonight!" "Stop being insolent! Do you even have the ability to do that?" Jayla sneered.All the lupine guards were carefully sel

Instantly, silence ensued. Looking at the lupine guards who had drawn their last breath, everyone was so terrified that they were lost for words. They couldn't believe that all nine guards had lost their lives because of Dustin's stomp. When Jayla came back to her senses, she blew up at once and shouted, "How dare you kill my lupine guards!" Each and every one of the lupine guards had been carefully trained by the Grant family. Now that ten of them were dead, how could Jayla possibly put up with it?"It won't end with just their deaths; you are going to pay back for what you did!" With a cold expression on his face, Dustin slowly walked closer to Jayla, his eyes darkening. "W—what do you want to do? I'm warning you; don't do anything absurd!" Jayla took two steps back in fright.As if she felt that it was embarrassing to retreat, she stopped at once and held her head high, putting on an arrogant look. She was the daughter of the Grant family. Why was she afraid of someone l

"Rhys! An outsider like you is in no place to boss us around!" Jacob was exasperated."Since none of you has the guts to stand up for Natasha, I'll do it, then! I don't mind offending the Grants!" Dustin opened his hand, and a steel knife slid into his palm. "Today I'm going to take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! No intercession is allowed!"As soon as he finished saying that, he scratched Jayla's face with the sharp blade, leaving a deep, bloody mark."Ah!" Jayla exclaimed shrilly in pain. "Don't you dare!""You son of a bitch! Stop right now!"Jacob and the rest of the members of the Harmon family shouted, their facial expressions changing drastically. However, Dustin didn't care about them at all. He drew another line across Jayla's face, forming a huge "X" on it."Rhys, do you know what you are doing? If you hurt Ms. Grant, even the Emperor won't be able to save you!" Jacob was furious.Dustin remained silent as he continued to wave his knife at Jayla, destro

"Dustin, don't!""Mother fucker! Don't you dare!" When Dustin raised his weapon, everyone was shocked and immediately yelled to stop him.However, Dustin turned a deaf ear to their shouts and decisively struck at Jayla. Jayla's wild laugh came to a stop in an instant. The next second, her head fell from her neck, rolling on the floor like a ball for a while before it stopped. Her widened eyes were filled with disbelief. As if she didn't expect Dustin to kill her for real in front of so many people. The power and status that she had been bragging about were completely of no use at this moment. Everything was over for her. "S—she died?"Looking at Jayla's chopped-off head, everyone was scared out of their wits. That was the daughter of the Grant family, who was also Tyler's sister, and at the moment, she had gone the way of all flesh. "This is bad!" Natasha paled. If Dustin had only killed the lupine guards, there were still chances to turn the situation around. Howev

The brawl finally ended ten minutes later. Although dozens of Flame Dragon Gang disciples were injured in the process, they managed to completely annihilate the Grants' elite men."Sir, I did not fail you. I have eliminated all these pests!" Nelson and his men rushed toward Dustin eagerly."Well done. It must have been tiring." Dustin nodded. "Not at all. It's our honor to serve you!" Nelson responded with a grin."Clean this place up. Don't leave any evidence behind." Dustin ordered. "Yes, Sir!" "Boys, it's time to clean up!" Nelson hollered at his men, and they immediately got to work."I didn't know you were the Flame Dragon Gang's leader." Natasha's surprised expression quickly turned into a frown. "Still, even with the gang's help, we can't win against the Grants. We're in real trouble this time.""The Grants might be powerful, but that doesn't mean they can't do whatever they please. There's always someone more powerful than them," Dustin replied nonchalantly."As if it'd be

When Dustin heard Felicia's word, his hand briefly hesitated before he placed the chess piece. He smiled and said, "I thought you came to learn chess, but I didn't expect you to be here as a messenger."Felicia gave a light, teasing laugh. "With a mind like yours, how could you not know why I'm here?"She added candidly, "Prince Nathaniel saved my life and welcomed me as an honored guest. It's only right that I repay the favor by helping solve his troubles. I hope that it doesn't bother you.""You're frank and gracious, Ms. Thorns. Why would I take offense?" Dustin replied with a faint smile.He had expected her to start with pleasantries or try to butter him up. So, her bluntness actually caught him off guard."To be honest, Prince Nathaniel has never taken this kind of interest in anyone before," Felicia said as she placed another chess piece on the board. She smiled and continued, "I can tell he truly wants you on his side. And as someone close to him, I'd like to help make

Nathaniel's mansion was huge. It was more like a maze than a home. Even with a detailed layout, Dustin had to stay sharp as he moved through the grounds. After all, blueprints never quite captured the twists and turns of the actual place.Led by a maid, he followed a winding path through the corridors for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at a guesthouse with a garden.The place was spacious and quiet, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. It was a secluded spot that was ideal for privacy."Mr. Rhys, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," the maid said. Her gaze was warm with a hint of admiration. She had watched Dustin's performance in the training ground earlier and knew he was an important guest brought in by Nathaniel. If she could catch his attention, it could completely turn her life around.He waved her off and said, "Okay. You can go now. I don't need anyone to attend to me." "Uh… but…" The maid hesitated."Don't worry. I'll explain

The crowd murmured among themselves as they looked at the broken broadsword and the stunned expression on Lycas' face."That strike was insanely fast and dead-on too," someone commented."I never expected General Derin's secret move to be defeated like that. It's unbelievable," another said."I thought General Derin could turn things around for us, but he still lost," a third added.Everyone knew how strong Lycas was. As a fully developed grandmaster with a broadsword, he was supposed to be unstoppable. However, at the critical moment, Dustin's strike shattered his broadsword.Lycas' loss was sudden and almost unbelievable. Some blamed bad luck and thought he could have won if things had gone differently. But those who truly understood what happened knew better.Even with Dustin's movement restricted and Lycas unleashing his strongest technique, he still pierced through the opening with near-impossible timing. That strike wasn't just lucky but masterful. It was a brutal display

Lycas gripped his broadsword with both hands and roared. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap.He sidestepped sharply and charged straight at Dustin like a raging bull.The heavy broadsword moved like it weighed nothing in his hands. He swung it with brutal speed. Each arc cut through the air with a sharp, whistling howl, as if it could slice through anything in its path.The broadsword came crashing down on Dustin with bone-crushing force, like a mountain falling from the sky.Lycas threw his full weight into the swing. As the sword descended, the force of the strike stirred up dust from the ground. It sent plumes of dirt in every direction.He knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent. If he wanted a chance to win, he had to make the first move and seize the initiative."Nice form," Dustin said.As Lycas launched a powerful, aggressive attack, Dustin remained calm and unruffled. With effortless grace, he sidestepped without the slightest rush. The broadsword whizz

Bryce knew Dustin was strong, but this was beyond anything he anticipated. Though he had gained the upper hand early on, Bryce still believed his skills matched Dustin's.From his observation, Dustin relied on martial arts techniques and hit-and-run tactics. Plus, he didn't dare to confront Bryce head-on.He had assumed that as long as he found an opening, he could exploit Dustin's weaknesses and defeat him. But when Dustin finally stopped holding back, Bryce realized how wrong he'd been.It turned out Dustin wasn't just playing hit-and-run tactics. Instead, he'd held back the entire time to spare Bryce from an embarrassing defeat.The moment Dustin stopped holding back, Bryce didn't stand a chance. Even without special techniques, Dustin's raw power, speed, and reflexes were enough to crush him.The difference in their abilities was staggering, so much so that no amount of skill could close the gap.And it wasn't just Bryce who was shocked. Except for Nathaniel, who had already

Bryce's request for a fight heated up the atmosphere.Soldiers around the training ground started murmuring among themselves."Lieutenant General Gantz is a legend in our ranks. His combat skills are no joke—he's taken down countless enemies on the battlefield. I haven't seen him in action in years," one young soldier said with awe."Yeah," a veteran agreed. "Lieutenant General Gantz has been through countless battles, and his strength is unmatched. If he steps in, Mr. Rhys might be in for a rough time."After the fight earlier, the soldiers knew firsthand that Dustin was no slouch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily defeated the five elite soldiers.But in their minds, no matter how skilled Dustin was, he stood no chance against Bryce.Bryce was a grandmaster not just in rank but in skill, physical strength, and battlefield experience. He was stronger than any expert from the martial world.Nathaniel had once recruited several grandmaster martial artists to spar with them, but

"Your Highness, the soldiers under me are trained solely in killing techniques. If they hurt your guest, things could get ugly," Lycas said.He didn't say it outright, but the message was clear. If Dustin wasn't strong enough, he'd better stay out of the way, or he was just asking for trouble.Bryce didn't say anything, but the look he gave Dustin was full of contempt. How could a pampered young man like Dustin measure up to soldiers who've been through the grind? He figured Dustin was probably some heir from a prominent family who knew Nathaniel and was trying to assert his relevance."You guys are blind to greatness when it's standing right in front of you." Nathaniel chuckled and shook his head. He added, "If any of you manage to land a hit on Mr. Rhys, I'll pay out a thousand gold. But honestly, I doubt any of you have what it takes."At the mention of rewards, the soldiers perked up. Their eyes lit up with excitement. They were practically itching to charge at Dustin and g

During the meal, Nathaniel arranged for two women to accompany Dustin.Throughout history, even the greatest heroes couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women. Sometimes, a woman of extraordinary beauty could be far more enticing than rare treasures or high status.Dustin remained composed. He neither showed any enthusiasm nor did he deliberately reject it.As for the women seated on either side of him, he treated them with polite respect. He enjoyed a drink and the easy conversation with them, but nothing beyond that.However, Nathaniel saw it differently. To him, it seemed that Dustin was unimpressed by the women at his side.Considering Dustin's background, it made sense. A woman of ordinary beauty would never catch his attention. Nathaniel realized he would need to pull out all the stops. Perhaps, it was time to bring out his most prized companion and see how Dustin responded.After the meal, he led Dustin to his mansion's training ground.The midday sun blazed overhead

"This…" Dustin began.He hesitated on purpose and didn't give an immediate answer.Upon seeing him deep in thought, Nathaniel was convinced that Dustin was weighing the pros and cons. He leaned in slightly, his smile widening with anticipation. "You should know how much the Dracan essence means to me," he said. "If I can gather all the essences, it’d be like fate is on my side. My path to the throne would be unstoppable—and when that time comes, your reward will be waiting."As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Dustin as he searched for any sign of hesitation in his expression.Dustin looked up and met his eyes. For a moment, something unreadable flickered in his gaze.He pressed his lips together and spoke slowly. "You're right, Your Highness. But it wasn't easy to find the Dracan essence. I went through quite a few twists and turns. Besides, if I give it to you, it might put me at odds with the other two princes."He paused deliberately and left the rest unsaid. Still, the concern
