An Understated Dominance Chapter 1737 by Marina Vittori

The Red Cloaked Assassin attacked fast and hard, catching Dustin by surprise from behind. Dustin was still busy helping Cinna and couldn’t defend himself.

When the assassin’s blade came, Dustin quickly activated his energy armor, creating a protective shield.

“Clang!”

The Red Cloaked Assassin’s blade hit Dustin’s energy armor, creating a faint ripple. The immense recoil sent the assassin’s weapon flying, making him stagger backward.

“How is this possible?”

The Red Cloaked Assassin’s eyes widened in shock. His full-force surprise attack should have at least gravely wounded Dustin.

Yet, Dustin sat unscathed, while the assassin was pushed back. He was surprised that Dustin’s strength might be even greater than his.

“Pfft!”

Suddenly, as Dustin was still healing, he spat out black blood. His face turned ashen. The poison from earlier was potent. Even with his robust body, Dustin couldn’t resist it.

The primary reason was the extensive energy consumption in treating Cinna. It left him unable to suppress the toxins invading his organs.

In addition to that, the Red Cloaked Assassin’s surprise attack prompted Dustin to defend himself forcefully. As a result, he got hurt and ended up coughing blood.

“Haha… It looks like you’re almost finished!”

The Red Cloaked Assassin mocked, thinking he had dealt a significant blow to Dustin.

“This strike will be the end of you!”

The Red Cloaked Assassin reached for his flying blade. He closed the gap and swung it at Dustin.

“Your Highness!” the heavily wounded Rodrigo roared. With a powerful kick, he used his body as a weapon and crashed into the Red Cloaked Assassin’s back.

With a grunt, the assassin was sent flying several meters. He landed in a sorry state with his sword dropped to the ground.

As for Rodrigo, the forceful collision caused him to spit blood and fly backward. Already suffering from severe injuries, he lay on the ground, unable to move.

He was left incapacitated.

“Damn! You’re asking for death!” the Red Cloaked Assassin cursed.

He stood up and glared at Rodrigo.

“Since you enjoy playing the hero, I’ll take you out first!”

With a sudden leap, the Red Cloaked Assassin raised his palm and aimed a fierce strike at Rodrigo’s head. Unable to move, Rodrigo could only raise his arms in a feeble attempt to block.

A loud bang echoed. Rodrigo’s arms fractured instantly. He was thrown like a ragdoll, crashing into a wall and coughing up blood incessantly.

“Run, Your Highness! Run!” Rodrigo shouted hoarsely despite his condition.

“Run? Where to?”

The Red Cloaked Assassin turned to glance at Dustin. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had almost forgotten that Rodrigo was just a minor character. Killing him held no significance. Dustin was the key figure.

To avoid complications, he had to be dealt with swiftly.

“Dustin! Prepare to die!”

Once again, the assassin leaped into the air, delivering a full-force palm strike toward the back of Dustin’s head. It was a vital attack. Even if Dustin had his energy armor on, it wouldn’t withstand this blow.

“Whoosh!”

The strike distorted the air.

Just as the Red Cloaked Assassin was about to succeed, Dustin, who had been healing Cinna, seemed to sense something. He abruptly turned around and struck out with his palm.

“Bang!”

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?
