Chapter 531

Author: Marina Vittori
There was an ear-splitting bang as the bullet embedded itself inches before Jacob's foot, making the man jump back in fear.

"H—how could you pull the trigger on me?" Jacob cried, outraged. He never expected Natasha to be the type to do something like that to her elder. If the bullet's trajectory had been slightly off the mark, he would've lost his foot!

"You better not mess around, Uncle Jacob." Natasha threatened frostily.

"How dare you!" Trent roared. "Natasha Harmon, he is your uncle! You'd be disgracing our family if you had hurt him just now!"

"I don't want to hurt anyone, so you better not force me to," Natasha responded unrelentingly.

"Y—you bastard! Do you intend to betray your family for that boy?" Trent was furious.

The Harmon family had always lived by a rule—nothing mattered more than the family's interests, which meant that they could sacrifice anyone if it meant saving their family. Therefore, Natasha's contradictory actions were seen as a sign of disloyalty.

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2688

    "Judith, it's me! Snap out of it!" Grace shouted.Every instinct told her to shove away the figure she saw as her sworn enemy, but she forced herself to stay put and gripped Judith's wrist tighter.With her advanced cultivation and iron-willed focus, she managed to hold on to a sliver of clarity. Even so, she still reeled from the visions clawing at her mind.Dustin watched the group descend into chaos and frowned. Mirage's illusions were more insidious than he'd imagined. Besides creating large-scale environmental illusions, she also targeted every person's mind and conjured visions born from their own fears and desires. There was no defending against an enemy that attacked from within. If this continued, they would kill each other without their enemy lifting a finger.He unleashed another wave of divine sense, but it was far less effective this time. Her illusions had corrupted their minds, and a raw blast of his power wasn't enough to purge them."Close your eyes. Cover your

    The illusion formation had been forcibly broken, though not completely destroyed. The guards, who had been lost in the illusion, gradually snapped back to reality. When they took in their actual surroundings and their fallen comrades lying in pools of blood, their faces went pale with horror."That illusion formation was terrifyingly real… It could so vividly reflect the desires of the human heart," Grace said, her voice trembling slightly. Her gratitude towards Dustin deepened.His sharp gaze darted toward the far end of the valley, where the only real spring shimmered in the distance. The air above it twisted and warped until a faint figure slowly took shape.It solidified into a woman of otherworldly, almost unsettling beauty. Dressed in rainbow robes, her body was an illusory form of coalescing light and fog.She hovered barefoot above the spring, surrounded by a haze of seductive energy that tugged at the mind. Her eyes were deep and bottomless, reflecting a thousand images

    "Hmm?"Grace whipped around, staring at Dustin with confusion written across her face.He wasn't admiring the breathtaking view like the others. His sharp eyes swept across the valley like a predator searching for weakness, cold and penetrating."Don't believe everything you see," he said. "While the spiritual energy here is abundant, it feels scattered and lacks a solid foundation. The music is too flawless to be natural. And the air, the flowers, and the mist… Don't they feel too artificial, as if they only exist to trick your senses?"His words made Grace and a few guards with higher cultivation levels focus their senses. Indeed, they noticed something was amiss.After lingering in the air, the floral fragrance carried a cloying sweetness that faintly clouded the mind. The sound of flowing water maintained an impossibly perfect rhythm, lacking the natural variation of a real stream. Even the drifting mist and clouds seemed to move in a fixed, patterned way."It's an illusory f

    "Stay focused and take them down!" Grace shouted. Her dagger gleamed with a cold light, and a stream of sword aura slashed at a charging gray shadow. The attack made the wraith waver and thin out, its form growing fainter. It let out a piercing shriek but didn't vanish. Instead, it surged forward with renewed fury.The other guards weren't faring any better. Their sword aura proved pathetically ineffective against these mist-wraiths. It took multiple strikes to break apart a single one.However, the wraith's attacks were deadly. They could easily penetrate the guards' protective armor energy. The moment one made contact, a deep, soul-chilling cold set in, and the victim's life essence began to drain away at an alarming rate.One guard's attention slipped for just a second. A wraith grazed his arm, and his limb instantly turned pale gray and shriveled, as if every bit of moisture and vitality had been sucked dry. He groaned in pain and staggered backward, face pale as death."We c

    A massive bronze gate towered majestically before Dustin and the others. Behind it might lie the fabled Aether Garden, or perhaps a far deadlier trap.Dark gold vines twisted through gaps in the doorway, looking brittle and dead. But they felt like forged metal to the touch and were unnaturally tough.The cloud-scripted runes on the gate pulsed with a faint light, forming an ancient and powerful seal. Forcing it open would be no simple feat and could trigger unforeseeable consequences.Dustin spent considerable time examining it with his divine sense before finally shaking his head. "This gate is sealed intact and anchored deep into the bedrock," he said. "Forcing it open could be disastrous. There's probably another entrance, or a specific condition required to open it."Coming so close only to hit a wall left everyone frustrated. Grace studied the misty fissure along the mountainside and reasoned, "Since this path is currently blocked, why not explore along its edge? We might

    At the same time, Dustin's right fist shot out in a simple, direct punch with crushing force. His fist drove straight into the cyclop's weak point—the crimson eye at its center.The cyclop's body stiffened, and the glowing blue patterns across its body flickered and died. As if the earth and rock that formed its body had lost cohesion, it crumbled to the ground with a loud crash, leaving only a cracked, dull red crystal eye rolling free.Seeing that, the remaining two cyclops seemed to sense Dustin's overwhelming power. The red light in their eyes flared. Instead of attacking, they scrambled backward and tried to burrow into the ground."Trying to escape?"Dustin let out a cold snort. Using the tip of his boot, he flicked a piece of armor fragment from the ground into his hand. He infused it with true energy and snapped his wrist forward.The fragment split in midair, and the two resulting shards streaked toward the crimson eyes of the fleeing cyclops with deadly precision.
