An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1196 

What did he say? Wasn’t he challenging the leader of the alliance for power and position?

Wasn’t he doing it to make a name for himself?

Why did it sound like he was here to seek revenge?

Was there a conflict between them? “How dare you openly insult our leader? It’s simply unforgivable!” Quincey yelled as he rose angrily from his seat.

The members of the alliance were also clamoring indignantly. Ronald was the face of the alliance. Naturally, no one could tolerate it when their leader was being slandered.

“That’s enough, everyone calm down.” Ronald raised his hand to silence the noise.

Remaining unfazed, he continued, ” Dustin, justice is clear. I have always acted honorably. Do you think a few accusations can tarnish my reputation?

“Accusations? Hmph!” Dustin snorted.

“You betrayed and killed your master. You’re worse than an animal! A hypocrite like you who pretends to be virtuous deserves to be condemned by everyone!”

“How dare you!” Ronald’s expression darkened. He snarled, “Dustin Rhys! I won’t hold it against you since you’re still young. But if you spout any more nonsense, don’t blame me for taking action against you!”

“Trying to scare me? Ronald Reeds, do you think I am here to joke around with you?”

Dustin raised his voice, saying loudly, ” Listen up! This duel shall not only determine who is stronger but also decide our life and death!”

Dustin’s statement started a frenzy throughout the arena.

“What? A fight to the death? Is he crazy?”

“Did I hear him correctly? Is he challenging Sir Reeds to a deadly duel?

“He’s truly overestimating himself!”

“His courage is commendable if he’s here just for a challenge. But he’s a complete idiot if he’s here for a deadly duel!”

Dustin’s bold declaration created a huge reaction among the martial artists present. Challenging the leader of the martial arts alliance to a duel was already a bold move. But now, he was demanding a fight to the death. It was complete madness on his part.

“Dustin is being too impulsive. Why must he risk his life when things are going well?” Lyn was anxious.

A deadly duel only had one possible outcome. It was an outcome where one person died while the other survived.

Surrender was not an option. If they didn’t harbor a deep grudge for each other, they would never have suggested such an extreme course of action.

“Why did it turn out like this? Why must he bet his life for reputation and personal gain?” Josie frowned, appearing worried.

Challenging the alliance leader would still have been an honorable act even if he were defeated. No one would have criticized him for it.

But the circumstances were different now, as defeat meant a certain death. “This brat just pushed himself to a dead end!” Lance sneered, feeling happy.

“Idiot!” Toddy shook his head with a disdainful expression. “Young people are so foolish. Staking everything against the leader of the alliance is a suicidal move.” Woody scoffed.

He saw Dustin as someone who didn’t hesitate to take risks to gain temporary fame. People like him would find it hard to achieve greatness, no matter how talented they were.

“Interesting… How interesting. You are dying for sure!” Theodore grinned wickedly, almost letting out a cheer.

“You’re digging your own grave!”

Quincey smiled slyly. It was as if he was looking at a fool. One must either be crazy or stupid to risk one’s life against the alliance’s leader.

“Great… Absolutely great!” Ronald walked up to the battle ring. With a sneer, he said, “Since you want a deadly duel, let me fulfill your wish!”

With a wave, he ordered, “Get someone to bring a waiver over!

“Today’s battle will not only determine our strengths. It will also determine our life and death!”

Summary An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys had been married for three years. After Dahlia’s meteoric rise to success, she abandons the useless dead weight that’s Dustin, proposing divorce. Unbeknownst to her, everything she had ever achieved was only because of him.

Chapter 1 “Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.” In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing. “Divorce? What do you mean?” Dustin Rhys was taken aback. “Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!” Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke. “A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?” Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out. “Something like that.” Lyra jerked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at the headline on this magazine, Dustin. Ms. Nicholson’s net worth has hit one billion in the course of just three years, a feat no short of a miracle. She’s now the most desired woman in Swinton! With all this, she’s destined for greatness. But you, you’re just a regular joe. You don’t deserve her at all. I hope that you’ll see some sense and do the right thing.” When Dustin remained silent, Lyra frowned. “I know you’re not happy with this, but this is reality,” she continued. “You might have helped Ms. Nicholson when she was in trouble, but she has repaid you for everything you’ve done for her over the last three years. In fact, you’re the one who owes her now!” “Is our marriage just a business deal to her, then?” Dustin took a deep breath to suppress the emotions within. “If she wants to divorce me, let her speak to me herself.” “Ms. Nicholson is very busy. She doesn’t need to trouble herself with such trifling matters.” “Trifling matters?” Dustin was stunned. Then he laughed bitterly. “Is that so? Is divorce a trifling matter to her? She can’t even find the time to speak to me. Truly, she’s that unattainable now!” “Dustin, don’t delay this any longer.” Lyra pushed the divorce agreement toward him again. “Just sign here and you’ll get a car and a house as compensation. On top of that, you’ll also get eight million dollars. This is more than what you’ll be able to earn in your lifetime!” “Eight million dollars is a lot, but…I don’t need it. I will sign the divorce papers if she comes personally. Otherwise, I won’t sign anything,” Duston said coldly. “Don’t go too far, Dustin!” Lyra slammed her hand on the table. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. With all her power and resources, Ms. Nicholson can divorce you easily. It’s only because she appreciates her past relationship with you that she’s allowing you to keep your dignity intact. Don’t provoke her!” “My dignity?” Dustin was a little amused by that. She didn’t even want to speak to him directly to divorce him. What kind of dignity was that? Moreover, if she really did appreciate their relationship, then why was she threatening him now?
