An Understated Dominance Chapter 1738 by Marina Vittori

Two powerful strikes collided, creating a loud boom. Dustin merely shivered slightly and easily stopped all the force.

Dustin’s strike sent the Red Cloaked Assassin flying. He crashed hard onto the ground with blood pouring from his mouth. Most of his circulatory pathways shattered.

“How-How can you be this powerful?”

The Red Cloaked Assassin clutched his chest. He looked terrified. Despite being poisoned and heavily injured, Dustin triumphed with just one hit. The Red Cloaked Assassin couldn’t help but wonder if Dustin was truly that much stronger.

“Did you not investigate my strength before ambushing me?”

Dustin’s voice was cold, and a bit of black blood stained his lips. Cinna got rid of all the poison in his body, so he wasn’t in danger anymore. Dustin was hurt and poisoned, but because he was really skilled, he could endure it for a little while.

“Although you’re just a grandmaster martial artist, we are more than enough to kill you!” the Red Cloaked Assassin interrupted.

On the day the Dragon Guard was destroyed, most of its high-ranking members were obliterated. The few left were scattered and couldn’t regroup.

A recent message about Dustin meeting with monarchy spies led the assassin to believe that Dustin was behind the West Lucozian monarchy’s plan.

He thought he could seek revenge, but he had underestimated Dustin’s formidable strength.

“Ha! I’d probably be dead by now if I were just an ordinary grandmaster martial artist. Do you think I’d have survived till today?”

“Really?”

The Red Cloaked Assassin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Are you an ultimate grandmaster?”

Dustin being only in his early 20s and reaching the status of an ultimate grandmaster seemed unbelievable and frightening.

“I have one question. How did you find us?” Dustin asked seriously. He was extra careful not to be followed, but as soon as he arrived at the Regal Court, he was ambushed. Something odd was taking place.

“I’ll take you on!”

The Red Cloaked Assassin clenched his teeth, fought through his injuries, and charged at Dustin once more. But as soon as he got close, Dustin grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. Trapped by Dustin’s energy, the assassin couldn’t move or fight back.

“If you don’t want to die, just tell me the truth,” Dustin warned, squeezing the Red Cloaked Assassin’s neck.

The assassin’s face turned red. He struggled to breathe, and his veins popped out. The fear of death took over him instantly.

“I… I’ll talk… Someone mysterious sent us a secret message to let us know where you were hiding,” the Red Cloaked Assassin replied hoarsely.

“Who’s this mysterious person?”

Dustin pressed on.

“I… I don’t know. He didn’t reveal anything, but he knew our secret code. Probably a spy from the Dragon Guard, “the assassin replied raspingly.

“A spy?”

Dustin’s face turned serious.

The message arriving right on time hinted at someone knowing their plans beforehand. In other words, there might be a traitor among them.

Rodrigo was the brave royal guard protecting Dustin and therefore seemed reliable.

Dustin wondered about the traitor’s identity.

Suddenly, Dustin felt a sharp pain in his back. A knife had stabbed through him. The blood on the blade carried faint black traces.

Dustin stared at the knife in disbelief. When he turned around, he was shocked to see that it was Cinna who was holding the knife.

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?
